  1. A little hard to understand fully what you are saying, but to reiterate something I posted before. It is an idea this " P A T R I O T I S M ". Not something we blindly follow. We believe what we are doing is right idea. I believe in freedom, and what it stands for. And that my kids will enjoy the same freedom for generations. And also believe we have to fight for each and everyday. And those not willing to do so also, I don't really know what to think of them. And those folks I truly pity fully, for their lack of such a great feeling that they could have deep down to their soul. That is why I shed a tear when I salute the flag. I love this great country. It has had problems, and mistakes. Sure, tell me one country that has had any less. It appears to also be the first upon a foreign disaster also. I am not sure where you got that the US was an organization. It is a wonderful country. One that means something when there are problems, and over the horizon here comes that flag flying high over the troubles to lend a helping hand. Patriotism in no way stops me from making decisions. That would be communism, I believe. I make decisions everyday as to what I truly believe in. Don't you? A for instance again. I would not salute any Officer or President, only the office. You might have to be prior military to fully understand that. I my dear fellow do not only show patriotism during war, I had it long before that. I remember as far back as Kindergarten when I was a see small child and stood there under that flag crossing my heart and saying the pledge of allegiance "To The Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." No where in there does it say organization. That was more along the lines of Hitler. We are Americans. Now if you want to read the entire thread and get back in a post here, then maybe I can help you a little more. Otherwise I would have to rewrite this whole thread over again just to get to all the important points that have already been posted. So please read on my friend. What country are you from anyway young man. You remind me somewhat of Miles Smiles that was in this thread before.
  2. Sometimes you really never know, or til it is too late. I do hope you got paid well coknuck, for what might come up later.
  3. My mistake dlewis, you are right. Most new cars. A few still have some style. But not near as much though.
  4. "Hunt, who will turn 88 on Friday and lives in Waterford, is among the country's 400 surviving crew members of the USS Phoenix and the perhaps 5,000 total surviving veterans of Pearl Harbor." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061207/NEWS03/612070379/-1/BUSINESS07 "Dec. 7, 1941, the date former President Franklin D. Roosevelt said "will live in infamy," still burns brightly in the memories of the Saginaw County men who were at Pearl Harbor that day. But as the veterans number dwindles, survivors fear the date will lose its impact. " http://www.mlive.com/news/sanews/index.ssf?/base/news-21/116557684656880.xml&coll=9 Over 150 people gathered at the Charlestown Navy Yard yesterday as a younger generation joined with survivors to mark the 65th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and remember the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives on that day. http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=171043 I guess that is what you meant. A little before my time.(a lot) Thanks fella's. Whoever you might be. I wonder about Paladin. I mean that was 65 years ago, they would have to be 73 years or better to have even been in the service then.
  5. Probably because the colors almost matched your sig.
  6. Car companies make more money if they make them more complicated. If I can no longer work on my own car they have more work for their mechanics and more of their parts sold. Also being more complicated makes it easier to raise the price saying they are doing more good for the economy and ecology. Automotive politics. The only real economical change I have seen is smaller engines with much lighter cars. Much more slope on windshields. And more and higher gears in the transmission. Not really in the hocus pocus that they are selling. Fuel injection did not really increase fuel mileage that much. Or electronics for that matter. Personally new cars suck. All brands. I can barely tell one from the other. What happened to the day you could tell what was coming down the road from 1/4 mile away. Style is a thing of the past. BOREDOM for sale. Again just my thoughts. I love my 65 Mustang Fastback.
  7. I resent that...how did you know?? Have you been peaking
  8. We were doomed when we invented the wheel and fire.
  9. I wonder if his donkey charged him for that ?? It doesn't really show anything. AWWW I AM now blind!!
  10. [move]HECK YES[/move] Not sure why the speeds would be so low though. But the consistency would be great. AGAIN, yes.
  11. Well best wishes with the little venture then Mtal1ca. I know it is hard for them to say uncle. But they eventually do.
  12. Pretty slow on that U/L there Bird Fan. I almost pulled a 119 myself last night. And I am only supposed to get only 50 on my 500/50 setup. Hmm... That is always good news Mtal1ca
  13. HEY, more potshots I see. One of these days I will crawl out of this Internet gutter, and let those friendly fires have their ramifications. Until then I am making a list just like Santa. Naughty and Nice.
  14. There are a lot of worse things happening to our environment as we speak than just cars. In the mean time I can't afford just to play their game of buying when it will change drastically in the next few years anyway. Just my thoughts.
  15. Welcome to the forum What are your advertised speeds there hydro?? Maybe we can help increase them for you. Don't know till we try.
  16. OH, so you will probably get those speeds later then. It will make a decent difference, I am sure.
  17. Well those are some pretty nice speeds if you ask me ewesch. Real nice indeed.
  18. Its all Greek to me, so that is good to know. And I haven't hopped much since I was much younger.
  19. As a scientist I would think what the heck, get ready to move. As a christian I would think, SO, I am covered to be gone anyway. Double Post I won't let it happen again today. At least till midnight.
  20. Like that would not be doing me a favor?? I will pay him. $$$$
  21. So I take it you are not sharing shug ??
  22. Works for me. Lets call Bruce Willis. I like his style. He would do it right. Like the time they blew up the astroid. Great movie.
