I think the funniest part is the media is making such a big deal of it. Aren't they supposed to be up on the law? Just a bit anyway. They are making an ignorant mess of things as usual instead of doing their job and reporting facts. Ok, well bent stories do sale more papers. :2funny:

Surely it feels faster during a file D/L. I know mine did. So you got it running better then?

You did fine kefir_papa and to the forum. -
That was gonna be my question. Whats the speed package, as all of shaw is lumped into the same speed as far as average goes. Like DSL with 768, 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, etc... will all be given the same speed average to be compared to. So of course a 768 light will always be way below average, and 6.0 will always be over on average.

I don't fully agree, my great grandpa live in a small Irish village also. But not to keep things the way they were, it was just so damned hard to understand English that fast. And like stated he later changed our name from O'Gorman to Gorman to better blend in to America. And yes worked very hard to become Americans. My whole family that was eligible to enlist have done so, even on my moms side. Except my mom of course, she had too many kids for that.

A MUST READ................... Newspaper This is a very good letter to the editor. This woman made some good points. For some reason, people have difficulty structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting the currently proposed immigration revisions. This lady made the argument pretty simple. NOT printed in the Orange County Paper ......... Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which does not agree with the philosophy they're pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published; but, with your help it will get published via cyberspace! From: 'David LaBonte' My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful letter to the editor of the OC Register which, of course, was not printed. So, I decided to 'print' it myself by sending it out on the Internet. Pass it along if you feel so inclined.. Written in response to a series of letters to the editor in the OrangeCounty Register: Dear Editor: So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry. Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented . Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss ed the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home. They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them . All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity. Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany , Italy , France , and Japan .. None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan . They were defending the United States of America as one people. When we liberated France , no one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German-American or the Irish-American. The people of France saw only Americans. And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white and blue bowl. And here we are in 2008 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges, only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country.. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life . I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags. And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty , it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet. (signed) Rosemary LaBonte KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING. FOR THE WRONG THINGS TO PREVAIL THE RIGHTFUL MAJORITY NEEDS TO REMAIN COMPLACENT AND QUIET!! LET THIS NEVER HAPPEN!! I sincerely hope this letter gets read by millions of people all across the nation!! And personally I don't care what snopes says about it. I still says this has a lot of good words and meaning. And I for one stand behind it.

Of that I have no doubt. I never figured the russian gov't to have much of a humor. Now those were the days. If it had been done just a bit differentit might have made it.

Ok, I just thought maybe he just went away. One guy I do miss is Grizz. That kid from Louisianna. I even looked once for him. Just disappeared. Good kid though. Last I saw of him was in Hid's thread about the after life I think. -
the wife has cricket and they never did that with the bill and a shut off. They only shut her off when she's late. (which used to be often ) I have verizon unlimited. Are you dreaming of a genie? A short one with light hair shug?

I am pretty much with Roco on this. Its not like they got close enough to have a magarita or what not at the local floating bar. I would be pretty sure we are in their 200 mile range watching them also. Like our spy planes never go over russia and have a peak or listen. How else would we know what each other is doing. Our spies have a paycheck to earn also. By the way, what did you guys do to Reso anyway? -
I like that. "With apologies to Kipling". Nice poem, honest. Thats the part I have been talking about bro. Sometimes its all that gets a soldier to the next day. Country=family, friends, neighbors, relatives, ancestors, etc...

Great song, I think I'll start requesting it played. ( I know good luck, but eventually they have to get the drift and play it if enough asked )
