We take dirt roads some with good and not so good conditions, not off road since the National Parks we go to don't like that, and the Exploder works just fine. And we hike too. But we also go with some young ones who are not able to hike very far. We usually have a caravan of vehicles doing this so as to not get stranded by a single break down.
As for the family argument - most SUVs don't have more interior space than a medium-to-large sedan
Are you on crack? I go to frequent camping trips, LAN parties, basically places where people and equipment go together for long distances. I always get to drive because my Explorer has loads of room for 5 adults and gear. It may not be the best in any one category, but for the price, it had the most room for people and gear. Plus I get to go on the back roads in the mountains/desert.
Not sure if you are a Euro or not, but out here in the New World, we have loads of untamed land. If you like visiting said land, your little car will not suffice. Sure, SUVs don't make very good commuter cars, but then again, for driving the back roads of the desert, hitting the mountains for snowboarding, and the rest of the outdoor stuff, I'll take my SUV.
So that means, you're saying, since you are a professional lawyer, and I'm not, I shouldn't get into an argument with you about the law.
Yes, exactly. Instead you should ask questions in areas that you are not clear. Be respectful, not challenging. It is like a little kid picking a fight with a trained fighter. Expect to get smacked.
For instance: why do US people need to pay so much for health care/insurance if the Gov is already spending tons on it?
Because the vast bulk of the funds go to emergency room visits. That is the only place were people without insurance can go. These same people do not have regular checkups which will catch the reasons they are in the emergency room to begin with.
Maybe, but nobody identifies the word Spam with canned meat.
What a silly statement. Not only was SPAM popular in Britan, during WWII, it was also popular in Hawaii. Today in Hawaii, you can go to McDonalds and get SPAM and noodle soup. And since my father is from those islands, I also grew up eating it.
The list 1 below is the amount of war matériel shipped to the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease program from the beginning of it until September 30, 1945. Aircraft 14,795 Tanks 7,056 Jeeps 51,503 Trucks 375,883 Motorcycles 35,170 Tractors 8,071 Guns 8,218 Machine guns 131,633 Explosives 345,735 tons Building equipment valued $10,910,000 Railroad freight cars 11,155 Locomotives 1,981 Cargo ships 90 Submarine hunters 105 Torpedo boats 197 Ship engines 7,784 Food supplies 4,478,000 tons Machines and equipment $1,078,965,000 Non-ferrous metals 802,000 tons Petroleum products 2,670,000 tons Chemicals 842,000 tons Cotton 106,893,000 tons Leather 49,860 tons Tires 3,786,000 Army boots 15,417,000 pairs
nevermind the fact that the russians were the ones who beat the germans, or at least 2/3 of their army. d-day only happened after the eastern front had been essentially won. and if the americans didn't have the a-bomb, they would have had to rely on the russians to beat japan, too.
What utter bull crap. Try reading about the Lend Lease act. The USA funded a HUGE portion of the Allies war programs including Russia. If the USA did not do this Russia would have fallen.
Uhh, wasn't the fact that BSD was under the cloud of copyright infringement with AT&T's Sys V that caused BSD's slow usage? Linux came in right at that time to steal what could have been BSD's thunder.
At least that is how this old dude remembers it.
And Solaris is a straw man. SunsOS 4.x and older was BSD based. And what NFS, NIS, etc are nothing? As for SunOS 5.x, which is more commonly refered to Solaris, is Sys V Rel 3 based.
It is funny how people are so quick to denounce USA that they praise USSR as being the savior of Europe. USSR helped, a lot, but it was the factories of USA that beat Hitler and Japan through direct involment and supporting those who were in the War before USA joined. We sent tons of stuff to England as well as USSR.
Nice, but we did almost nothing. The Soviets did most of the work and we just came in to mop up.
False staement. Funny how many America haters forget history. You do realize that USA sent tons and tons of supplies to the USSR went Hitler was going east. The USSR would have fallen if it wasn't for our help.
Yeah, never mind the bullets, missles, and bombs deployed from the F-14 that killed countless people...but it NEVER dropped Agent Orange, so the F-14 was kind to humanity.
As much as I consider myself a progressive, I find it odd that people still don't understand that humans are violent. And probably always will be. The need to have armies and weapons will continue until we are all dead.
Godwin says the new research shows it's more accurate to think of the thalamus not as a gate but as a club bouncer, who doesn't simply allow a huge rush of people to go in or no one at all, but picks and chooses whom to let in and out. "
Why a bouncer. I thought we used car analogies around here...
it's more accurate to think of the thalamus not as a bouncer, but a traffic cop, who doesn't simply allow a huge rush of cars to go in or no one at all, but picks and chooses whom to let in and out.
Wow, and what proceeded those actions? Do you think Israel should just give up and close shop or should they stay? If they stay, then the fights will continue. In case you missed it, some folks in that region do not want peace.
And next time, leave your childish remarks at home. This discussion is for adults.

If he had a WoW account, I would so pwn him.

It is a reference to the guy sitting next to the stage coach driver. That guy carried a shotgun to ward off bad guys. Hence the term.
U.S. already has the new GPS IIF nearly ready for launch. And GPS III is in its early stages of life. The technology does not stand still.
South Park did an episode where they were playing WoW and much of the episode was Machinima. As usual with Matt and Trey, it was great.

Archon is a MUST.
From that wikipedia article...
Read up about the Lend-Lease Act before you talk about things you do not know.

Ever heard of a thing called the Lend-Lease act?
Read about it here.

Besides, D-Day was almost nothing?

There, now I understand it.
To them, this is a "problem" that can only be solved a genocide. A final solution, so to speak.
Which is exactly my point. Israel will have to fight to live.
Wow, and what proceeded those actions? Do you think Israel should just give up and close shop or should they stay? If they stay, then the fights will continue. In case you missed it, some folks in that region do not want peace.

If you're inconvenienced, killed, afraid, paranoid, lose civil liberties; they really don't care. Its not their goal or objective.
Which is why I really don't care about them either. And right now we are the stronger.
If the US withdrew from the Middle East you would probably see the domestic threat of attacks decrease or stop entirely.
I doubt it. Their leaders use us as the boogey man just like our leaders use them. And besides, we will never abandon Israel.
Riiiight... and let Israel annex their land, bit by bit,
So what should Israel do, ignore them when they attack? Disappear?
If Lebanon does not want to be bombed, then don't start it. I know, it was Hezbela (sp?), but now Hezbela is part of the legitimate government.
Damn... I remember reading that... LOL
I was a news admin back then....
