“uh… yeah thats me up there… sorry guys”

thats great

@Janus1:

it may be a good political decision, but politics should have no place on the battlefield.

Looks like somebody’s forgetting their von Clausewitz:

@von:

War is the continuation of politics, by other means.

In other words, when diplomacy fails, send in the grunts. :)

I’m not going to bother arguing right now, just keep listing cool battles as I think of them. That being said, siege of Constantinople, 1453! :wink:

good CC. i find no validity in the complaints of people against the traffic cameras. the fact is, its absurd. they are breaking the law when speeding, its in a public place, there is no reason not to have the cameras.

@cystic:

The world is not perfect, and this is the least of the things i believe important to correct.

I guess that last point is where we differ massively :)

Most places I know have speed limits that actually make sense, and of those that don’t, there’s not much danger in exceeding them.

@sherman28:

As far as Cuba Anexxing Florida-

I’d bet we are better armed than Fidel’s P.L.A.!!!

Yeah, but haven’t the Cubans been infiltrating FL for years now?

It’s a good story, nonetheless, and possibly has some actual roots in some dark corner of history. :wink:

Naturally i wouldn’t be happy.

I shouldn’t have been speeding I shouldn’t have gotten caught speeding. I really can’t afford a speeding ticket or loss of my merits.
what is the point of this post?

This isn’t impressive at all. Spain had little where to go but up. They’re still Portugal’s black-sheep cousin (and Portugal was a 3rd world country 19 years ago). It’s not like he took a “great nation” and made it “greater”. After all, twice 2 pennies is only 4 pennies.

And the same could have been said about Canada when you speak of it’s economic growth. :wink:

thats a horses ass, and yes he said it, but its not his joke. its a pretty common one, one of those that just springs up and no one knows from where. the amish one probably came first ,and undoubtedly, the arab one came after 9/11 or something

Oddly, conservative gov’ts in both US and Canada have recently developed a disposition towards increased deficit spending. Oddly as well, the “Liberal” gov’t in Canada has been working quite well to diminish the debt.
(note: i do not have a problem with deficit spending during times of recession, however it is a ludicrous thing when the economy is responding well, or on an even keel and there is debt)

Jefe - you are right about that. For the most most part MSNBC is DREADFUL,
but their war coverage was pretty good. David Bloom’s reports were otstanding it was a shame he died. In general
Fox news is the absolute bes news on Cable.
Fox news.com is excellent too , but I like News max a little better!

Wait… how do you know each other?

Berard Cornwell-

The man is a genius- Sharpe’s series, Starbuck, Archer’s tale etc.

Jefe- if you are going to read AnnCoulter’s recent book then I
Highly reccomend Sam Tannenhaus’ biography Whittaker Chambers.

I read TR Frehenbach’s This Kind of War (it’s about the Korean War)
every June for the last 4 years.

I also reccomend, Stanley Karnow’s, Vietnam.

Recently, I’m reading Ernest R. May’s, Strange Victory. It’s about how the French lost against The Germans in 1940.

-Joseph Ellis’, Founding Brothers.

-John Earl Haynes & Harvey Klehr’s Venona:
Decoding Soviet Espionage in America.

And Reading the Lord of the Rings Books with my oldest.

So…
If they are not allowed to not support the system yet still use parts of it…

seperate issue. 1st, its the opposite from the offset (onset? i dont know, you get the point). i support the system they do not (the respective systems that is).
2nd, protesting the use of oil, than using a diesel powered boat, which is not simply powered by diesel, but uses mass quantities of it, to protest drilling is inherently hypocritical.
3rd, my being pissed off if the downside of my system occurred to me does not change my support of it, it simply pisses me off. supporters of the current legal system could be wrongly imprisoned and/or summarily executed, yet they may not stop supporting the system because of it.
4th, I take it that at this point, you know what i mean, and i honestly cannot believe you would couldnt see this

@El:

F_alk, don’t do that! You remind me of a Communications professor …

That’s what I said!

big grin

well, i just took the freedom to restate what you said with my and not your personal bias :)

The ammo, monsters, med kits and hidden stuff: Doom maybe?

Dubya also Gatorade

But the “end” is not covered by Machiavelli.
