Gopher died?
Well darn, somebody ought to tell the Mississippi Board of Education which is STILL teaching children about gopher.
But then again, they still refer everything inside the computer case as the "CPU" until highschool.
Ok, first off. You use big words where minute ones would suffice. Not everyone on this site believes that just by using the longest word in the dictionary means that you have a clue about what you say.
I've seen namy people who speak fluently in many languages about nothing, and have not been impressed. But who impresses me most are the people who can tell a story about something and have each member of the audience understand.
The people who "blast" them don't feel badly. They are highly trained and know exactly what they are doing, as not to cause any more harm than scientifically necessary. They also believe that they are doing this for the right reasons.
But I'm sure they would rather use computers just as everyone else would. I'm not in favor of animal testing when other methods will work, but if it's the only option other than human testing, then it's the only other option.
I'd rather see a hundred mice die than one human child. God gave us animals for our use, he never told us what those uses could, and could not be, so as long as we are using them for posative gain and not just for fun, I'm alright with it.
Personally, I'd have loved to be the one who tested the game "pin the tail on the donkey" out on actual donkies... gee, that job had to be a real kick!
I don't consider it to be a military victory. I consider it a covilian victory.
The vast majority of these "soldiers" were trained pretty much on the fly as they engaged in battles. America didn't have an army before the war, remember. No country, no army... I would assume that at least a small portion of the US army had military training, but most were just farmers, merchants, and commin citizens who felt that fighting for independance was the right thing to do, so they signed up.
To call the US an army would be a HUGE leap of faith during those times. We were simply enough people with guns who were sick and tired of the brittish rule.
Exactly, I never said that myself, and all my buddies would hold off aginst the government in some sort of free speach battle. That wouldn't ever happen. I'm not some wacko like the people in Waco, Texas or any of those places that have tried and failed.
But if you want an even better example of what a bunch of civilians with guns can do when they're tired of the government taking away their freedoms and rights, look at the American revolution. Just a bunch of normal people with hunting rifles at first.
Because of those crazy people with guns who thaught they could take on a determined army battalion, we have our freedoms now.
And as far as your poing about martial arts:
2nd degree black- taekwondo black belt- kyusho-jitsu (no black belt rankings) black belt- shaolin chin na
I grew up in a martial arts studio. My father was a martial arts instructor for many years. I am completely sure that I have the skills to take on virtually all military trained fighters in hand-to-hand combat. I've sparred aginst quite a few, and quite a few have lost.
Actually, there are set guidelines for what is considered an assault rifle.
An assault rifle must conform to these guidelines, else it is not an assault rifle.
1. Must fire in fully automatic mode. 2. Must fire low calibre rounds (.223 for example, as opposed to the.303 which is a MUCH larger round.) 3. Must be small enough to be carried and fired by one person of average size.
That means that your civilian AR-15 clones (such as the Bushmaster.223 that the beltway sniper used), and other non fully automatic rifles are just rifles. not assault rifles. Also, larger fully automatic weapons such as the B.A.R. are not considered assault rifles. Same goes with large weapons such as the SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon), or heavy machine guns are not assault rifles.
Without the second amendment the first amendment is pretty hard to enforce.
Please forgive me for my bluntness here, but I own a pistol or three, and I speak my mind. I would much rather have people tell me that I can't speak my mind than have them tell me that I can't own my firearms.
If you take my firearms I cann't keep you from taking my speech. If you take my speech, I'll just use my firearm to take it back.
Yes, I do live in Mississippi, yes I do drive a truck, and no I am not undeucated, violent, or poor.
First you ask us not to call you stupid, that's ok. But next you go on to call us lazy, and then tell us that we smell like pigs.
I'll give you the exact same respect that you give me. You gave me just enough respect for me to realize that you are too dumb to live. Please die now. Not later, but now.
Actually, no. They don't. Most people don't have enough usable organs left to donate after a good wreck.
But the local gravestone maker in town loves seeing sports bikes driving down the road... He calles them future customers.
Didn't you hear? When our military came and found him, he had a pistol in his posession.
But seriously dude. He had thousands of his own citizens murdered. He had his own family members murdered. I may not like the idea of sending American men and women into a country where they are being shot at for political reasons, but I am glad that this man won't be able to hurt anyone any more.
I was a strong supporter of Bush until he dropped the steel tarrifs. Who cares about the war, he's selling off American Jobs and dosen't care. Forget overthrowing Hussen, Castro, or anyone else. I say we take back our White House and give it to someone who cares about American jobs.
First off, she wasn't 18. Younger than him, maybe. but not 18. And anyways, 18's legal even if he's 95.
Who cares what he did? The only thing that upsets me is that he lied about it. Had he told the truth I wouldn't have cared one bit.
But it's still good to know that at least our president was getting some. He's got a stressful job. Lord knows that lady he married (and I use the term lady lightly), wasn't giving it up. I would pay for him a hooker if it keeps the stress from getting to him...
Now I'm just as much of an anti-Microsoft zelot as the next guy, but to quote one of my local LUG members here:
"YOU'RE WRONG!"
It's not microsoft, it's the slides themselves. I look at slides all the time that are talking about things that I actually know and wonder "what the heck is this talking about?" People just don't learn by using slides. It's a dumb idea. always has been.
Why do you think the pentagon banned powerpoint. It's a waste of time.
A fairly nice computer for $400 with no monitor... Obviously I'm not alone here in wondering if you don't know that you can build one for much cheaper than that, and with the money you save you can get a year of AOhelL or Earthstink...
No, actually people pay taxes because they face fines or jail time if they do not. People pay taxes because they are forced by the government to pay taxes. The average American does not think "Wow, I'm so glad that this money that I worked so hard for is going to help protect me now." while he or she is filling out their tax forms. Instead they are most likely thinking things that I should not even mention over the internet.
People in general don't usualy work to change things that they don't like. All too often people just roll ofer and do whatever is currently being done. People don't like making a stur. It is just not something that the average person does.
Imagine being able to freely download/trade any music produced before 1973.
Can't we already do this already with the current system of audio theft? I'm pretty sure that I can download music that was made before 1973 if I looked hard enough.

No, it means that a word is a word, and disallowing people from saying that word is completely stupid. No one owns the English language, and no matter how hard some companies may try to prove otherwise, it is completely absurd to claim ownership of a word.

And yes, I did understand your post just fine.
two johnny cash albums, and a pair of socks.
I wouldn't have been upset except for the fact that I play bass for a heavy metal band, and my parents know this...
They aren't even GOOD cash albums even.
Isn't this old news? I saw this exact same page a few months ago. (probably closer to a year)
Come to think of it, this isn't even news... this is just pictures.

Actually, come live in my town. Almost everyone here owns, and carries a pistol. Guess what, there isn't much robbery here.
Are you about to shoot someone if you know that he, and the four people around him all have guns too? I don't think so.
You also aren't going to lob a nuke at someone who can lob one right back at you.
