    This happened to me. It was the floormat, it got stuck up under the metal piece of the pedal. I had to pull the pedle from underneath with my foot to release it. The scary part of it was it happened when I was just entering a town.

    That is my biggest concern today. I really wish they still showed these kinds of videos today. I went to high school in the late,late 80's. I still remember this stuff as I grew up on army bases in Korea and Germany. If they saw and understood the aftermath of the original bombs. They would be scared to think what todays can do.

    hey I really did buy two playboy's for their articles. One of the ones I bought was with the alien pictures. The other one had a Michael Jordan interview. I usually get to see half naked women in european/australian motorcycle mags. Other than that I would rather be out picking up women, better chance than getting one out of playboy.

    How do you figure the companies will become socialized and given back to the people of china. If it is linux then it should be given back to the people of the world.

  18. Re:International Solution on New EU IP Law Deemed Harmful · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your doing nothing more than using the US as a scape goat to the EU's own problems. The problem can't be here. It must be someone else, this decade it is the US. Next it will be India or China, maybe even dare I say it and EU country. There is a saying, and I don't remember correctly. a individual person is calm and rational. A group of people get frightened and irrational. That applies to the US. That applies the RIAA, that applies SCO board, that applies to the EU. The trick is getting them to stand on thier own. Look at the EU you have three powerfull countries tell all the rest what to do. Fixing them would be a great start. and Two of them at teaching you to the US as cause of your problems. Nice bait and switch.

  20. Re:Unbalanced security on Germany Begins Iris Scans at Frankfurt Airport · · Score: 1

    They are teaching kids and building schools. That is what the soldiers there would rather be doing. You are only getting the same 5% of the news on every channel you see or newspaper you read. If look now, most the killings are Iraqi's and Afghan's, killed by their own. Why because they want to rebuild and get us out of their countries faster. Funny that is the same goal as everyone(including the US) I meet in the world. They only problem is they see America as wrong for one reason. The word "America", If the US behind the scenes, then it would be seen as great and progress. But the minute you hear US it us taking over. I don't think we have taken any countries over.

    A little story. I was in St. Lucia for a vacation and next to my resort where small group of soldiers from the US. I asked them why they were here. They told me they were sent done to help build roads and schools. I asked them if the missed being home. They said a little, but helping out really makes it worth them being here. I thanked them.

    I do understand why 60% of the people in the world want America to fail at everything they do. Because history has been rewritten. We are the ones trying to invade and capture every country in the world. It is funny how the US has really lost every war we have been in. Even the ones that prevented Europe from being over run, twice. Two wars we didn't want to get involved in. We were forced into it.

    Also the Marshall plan was designed to rebuild Eastern europe into democratic countries. Most are very socialist, but Democratic. If America was so hell bent on making every country just like us, we could have started there. We didn't, Countries were rebuilt. And look how they hate us, for caring so much to spend billions of our own money to help rebuild. I don't think there is one country like use in the world. Looks like we were the real evil in the last 60 years, look at all the countries we invaded to expand our lands.

    Also on your point about teaching kids not hate. We don't force people to think like us completely, we try to teach them to think for themselves. Another group is teaching them to hate. Why because we learned from our own past and what we did to our own people, black, asian, women. Everyone has a right to an education. It the countries we are in now, girls and wemon could help to make their own country a better place. Can you image the talent pool they were holding back. Because of religion or sex.

    As for it being an endless battle. It is and if you stand still and let it happen, or take it head on, it will continue. By standing still they see it as victory against cowards. It reinforces them that they are winning, so they continue. It is like people think the terrorist will get bored and stop. They won't because power is a drug. If you take them head on. They see it as proof they must fight, because we are fighting back. They must have been right our else we wouldn't have attacked back. It is not an easy solution.

    And the US doesn't have the answer and I don't think anyone really does.

    I for one would rather die helping a child learn to read, or rebuilding a building/street. Instead of walking on the sidewalk going to work, maybe going to see my nephew. And be killed by a car bomb being drove into a building and killing me with the blast.

    One thing I don't understand is why you(much of the world). Think we only care about killing children, women. How many Americans have you ever met that think that way?

    That was Clinton(Democrat) not Bush. He was probably getting hummer at the time he made the call. I think he was trying to make his load hit at the sametime as the missles. Part of that problem is that he destroy the CIA and such, so of course his INTEL was crap and we have been paying for that mistake ever since. What and see when Keery gets into office. The US won't go anywhere do anything. That should make a lot of people happy. Put people in office are not willing to make the judgement call. Make the US, like the UN.
