    Solving the oil crisis

    Molleur...unfortunately it's not that simplistic to do. The oil...sorry, "energy" companies are in it to make a profit. If we isolated ourselves to our own energy sources, they would simply raise the price on domestics and we'd be no further off by having seperate prices based on regions...

    Porsche G50 Gearbox

    Cost, replaceability. All of the P-components carry an exorbitant pricetag along with all their other shortcomings. ;) How much is a brand worth to you? (Nevermind...I already know, as you sell P-components for a living.)

    sl-c body quality questions

    Good thing you said this on GT40s.com and not the other site...that's the sort of blasphemous talk that the F5R cadre can't tolerate ;) I had exactly the same sentiments and said as much. It was not appreciated. Especially when I raved about Fran's fit & finish. That was the tipping point I...

    Gabrielle Giffords motorcycle rider

    Your pathological fear and militant obsession with an inert object is saddening. It's just a gun...it's not a Terminator/Transformer. It's always the nut-job on the handle end, squeezing the trigger that makes your "scary" gun go boom. Why is it so hard for you to grasp that PEOPLE are the...

    Gabrielle Giffords motorcycle rider

    I don't feel that the availability of guns is a crime...you do. You also think it's a crime that Palin's campaign tactics used imagery that you found offensive. That was the point I was making. I feel that leading the story with the shooting of an elected official and a judge over that of the...

    Gabrielle Giffords motorcycle rider

    *YAWN* Consensus does not make for reality. Consensus is a game that the anonymous mob plays when they are too busy living their pointless existences to actually DO something, so blend into the crowd to caw & crow like a bunch of seagulls in a parking lot...and then quickly move onto their...

    Gabrielle Giffords motorcycle rider

    Because consensus doesn't make fact or even good...and you're acting as if all the armchair quarterbacking that's going on is some sort of mission from God to attack your chosen "enemies". It's just back-asswards conspiracy-theorism aimed at discrediting those you disagree with, based on...

    US Medicare

    It's all about power & control, and with those prizes on the line it comes down to steering perception... Both parties try to turn the middle class against themselves and divide us with distractions, like calls of socialism, anti-capitalism, federalism and the like. We consistently vote as a...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    I'm not talking about looking for a fight or instigating a fight. I'm talking about willingly putting yourself between someone who does and someone who does not. How is that any different than what a soldier does in his daily routine in a combat arena? How is that silly to consider that an...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Consensus makes fact? I'm not proving anything...you've made up your mind and choose to see everything in a light that only satisfies your predetermined opinion. You're a coward and would run away when you see another person being hurt by someone...that's what you're proving. Not a very...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Did you bother to actually READ any of what I said? I'm not the OP...I didn't get boozed up and try to pick a fight with a loud-mouth. Again...would I interfere with someone who tried to get violent with someone else who wasn't wanting a fight? YES. Would I detain someone who got violent with...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Bragging about what exactly, Jeff? That I would interfere between someone looking for a fight and someone who wasn't? That I would detain someone who got violent with an innocent bystander? That I would interrupt a crime in progress rather than cower like a beaten dog? That's what we do everyday...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Where does your contempt stem from? I've made no designs on promoting myself as a heroic figure. I'm a professional soldier. I conduct myself as such. I speak plainly and without subterfuge. If you have a problem with someone who speaks his mind and doesn't sugarcoat things, that is a...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Ever heard of a citizen's arrest? Ever heard of posse comitatus? Ever heard of bystanders getting involved to prevent the commission of a crime? I guess that only applies in situations that you don't agree with. Your beliefs don't constitute reality or the basis for how things are. I'm...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    That's fine Jeff. If I ever see you, your wife or your kids being accosted by dumb punks, I will gladly walk past and let them do whatever they feel they have to to make themselves "men". That should be noble enough for you, since I'm qualified to fight in your place overseas, but not wearing...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Too true. I just don't want people getting the idea that I and people like me go about looking for fights...we just don't back down in the presence of chumps with a belly-full and a bad attitude. Fighting in general accomplishes nothing other than when used to stop the aggressive actions of...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    I don't think someone deserves to be beaten simply because someone else doesn't like their attitude or presence. On the other hand, there are times when I think beating someone for an offense against society would cause them to adjust their own attitude & presence. It's a situational thing...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    Nazi's were first & foremost thugs, albeit thugs with authority. If you would care to stop indulging in revisionist history, you would know that the US didn't get involved in WWII to assuage the threat of genocide, but rather to stop the march of an aggressive political philosophy. Fact is...

    have any of you guys ever had to throwdown?

    I realize we're not barbarians, but it's ridiculous for people to suggest that violence doesn't solve anything. To suggest otherwise is to deny the benefits derived from violence throughout history...unless people think that Nazism SHOULD have been allowed to flourish uncontested? Truth be...

    Calculating PSI load garage floor

    10" is beyond overkill for a 2 post, 4 post or even a lift for semis...it's a complete waste of time, money & resources. The inner 4" of your pad won't be dry for another 30 years...the very base of the Hoover Dam is still curing, it's 200 ft. thick and has been around for 80 years. A 4" pad...
