And I protest every post advocating firearms. Traveling with them is even more unreasonable. Traveling by plane is bad enough without gun-toting pinheads wandering airports (apart from the TSA pinheads).
Oh please, get off it. I travel with firearms regularly and the only time this gun-toting pinhead wanders about the airport with a firearm is during the time before checking baggage. It would be great if I were allowed to carry my pistol behind security and on board, you know, to even the odds a bit. It irks me to no end how people believe a normal person who takes a few classes, shoots a marginal qualification score and obtains a badge or other law enforcement commission is somehow different from a "ordinary" person and is superior or more qualified to carry a weapon.
For the record my firearms have not killed any random people and they have not attempted to maim or kill me. But you never know, I do own assault weapons and high capacity magazines.:o
I protest every post protesting the advocating of firearms. If you don't like firearms more power to you, but your irrational fears should not dictate my life.

Could very well be, I have not so much as keyed mic in over a year. I probably read it in some old timers article (read: troll / flame) on eham.net or something. Not that I have anything against old timers, the incessant whining does get old however. "Back in my day there was no phone, if you could copy CW at 4000 WPM you recieved until you could...";)

I am not sure about the meaning of your post but I will wager 327 gold stars that the current vice president of BMW can not fix your carburetor. Double or nothing says the president can't either.
It seems crazy to me that I have paid into the private healthcare system for 30 years without getting much of anything back and it can all be taken away from me if there is a lapse in coverage, a mistake on an application, or the insurer just decides that my particular problem is not covered.
Do you honestly think the same thing wouldn't happen under a government system. I know I have read an article or two about people being denied health care in the UK for one reason or another.
1.1 "Real" medicine does not work 100% of the time, and you still have to pay even for a failed treatment or procedure.
1.2 It may not be the most worldly or compassionate view but a good amount of the poor are poor because they choose to be, and by subsidizing them you create an endless cycle. I want to be rich one day, if I feel like giving my money to someone I should be able to do so but I should not be threatened into doing so.
2.2 You should witness our "free" public school system currently in place, you will understand why some Americans would be unsupportive of free higher education.
3. I totally disagree with this point, it is exactly like a lottery or a casino game. If you have insurance you are gambling that you do get sick and insurance picks up the remainder. Not carrying insurance is gambling that you will not get ill. Having health insurance is the responsible thing to do today in the USA. That being said, there are programs in most hospitals which drastically reduce or eliminate the bill provided you meet certain financial requirements (read, "poor"), so things are not completely hopeless for the "poor" as some would lead you to believe. Then again, there are people who go to hospitals and doctors with no intention to pay them a dime which does not help matters.
I crunch for SETI, Rosetta, Einstein@Home and LHC. I have 3 boxes running full bore, 24x7 and my laptop is only powered off during the ride to/from work and. Then again, I do not subscribe to the tree hugging philosophy. Unless you count when I am sitting in a tree waiting to kill innocent animals.
What you see is the perceived risk - if a rich white kid goes missing now, it's front page news, and you can see the news from any given city. Any time a rich white kid goes missing, it's on CNN and Fox all day. It sells.
If my parents chipped me when I was under their reign I would have simply cut the damned thing out of me and attached it to my backpack or the family dog. That is assuming it was implanted just under the skin and I knew about it.
"My interest is based on being a consumer of the FAA's services -- a little over 2 million miles flown so far. I am shocked, no, I'm way beyond shocked at how antiquated the equipment is (where does someone go to get replacement vacuum tubes?).
5. Some women just aren't cut out to be stay at home moms
I consider this an excuse and a cop-out, sure being a STHM is hard work but requiring special skills and personality? Please. Working is the easy way out. The families I know where the mom works because she is not "cut out" to be a stay at home mom results in very little profit or even a net loss and is generally in a menial job. FWIW disclaimer: I am not sexist and have offer to stay at home with the children regularly.
It's a cliche, but children are the future. Call them tax-sucking, or whatever you like. They'll be paying for you ass to get wiped in 50 years time.
The productive ones who had good parent(s) and/or good parenting will be footing the ass wiping bill, the children who were taught the tax-sucking lifestyle will still be, you guessed it, sucking taxes.

Here is an example of what I was thinking of SSTV, pr0n and you

Last I heard SSTV was all but done for due to people transmitting pron. Whats your experience?
On a semi-side note, I wonder if anyone has transmitted goatse?
I am an elf you insensitive clod!
That's what he told me as well...

Beer was only a quarter ten years ago?!? Maybe I have been drinking too much...
Hmm... Good point, there seems to be a pattern developing...

The plate cover could be tied into your radar detector and retract automatically when a radar signal is received.
Play it off as a bad case of thrush if it ever comes up.
this led to a rather embarrassing situation at the hospital when i couldn't tell the nurse what number to dial to reach my girlfriend.
Did you have clean underwear on at least?
Speak for yourself...

Well any local hamfest should do. Get yer tubes here!
I can't remember what I used before Google just like I can't remember what I did before the internet became accessible for common folk.
Also the car Company Tata that is making an air car found out that releasing the compressed air makes it very cold
Actually, some fellas figured this out in 1852. Joule-Thomson effect
There is no way I would enter that contest, the mom playing wii in TFA is showing zero cleavage.
So still the important question goes unanswered.
Will I have to bother going into work the day after they fire this thing up?
