  1. I have an Idea, if the UK likes Kerry so much, why dont you invite him over there?
  2. They must be with the WMDs we cant find anywhere.
  3. I am not voting for Kerry or Bush, I believe Micheal Badnarik has what I am looking for in a president. A couple of points I like: No compromise support of the individuals' right to keep and bear arms Advocates and will seek to repeal all unconstitutional gun law Understands that law-abiding gun owners are vital to our nations freedom and self-defense Opposes the renewal of the "defense" weapons ban (aka the "assault weapons ban") Supports maintaining a strong military—for purposes of defense of the United States Veterans benefits and military pay—This is one of the few areas wherein spending should increase. Those who have served our country should be fairly compensated for their service, and their medical benefits should be the best available. There is no excuse for providing less than adequate services to those who have put their lives on the line to defend our country. Strictly volunteer military—no draft—and none should be needed if our engagements are limited to defense and our military compensation is commensurate with the private sector Supports complete separation of church and state and get government out of the marriage business—John Kerry only supports civil unions; Badnarik would keep the federal government completely out of marriage Supports equal treatment of all people under the law—opposes racial profiling Advocates repealing federal regulations that prevent minorities from starting their own businesses Opposes federal control over abortion End the war in Iraq sooner than John Kerry End foreign interventionism Publicly opposes the draft Badnarik supports the repeal of federal mandates and controls over schools; this system ruins education and holds all schools to the same standards despite their different means and demographics End the "War on Drugs" Allow the sick to use medical marijuana Michael respects the concepts advocated by Dr. John Hagelin and applauds any innovative approaches to create peace through voluntary means that respect individual liberty By executive order on the first day in office President Badnarik will instruct the DEA to cease the persecution of medical marijuana users Will advocate that all states legalize medical marijuana Will pardon all persons incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses Will begin a policy of dismantling the insane War on Drugs and establish policies that take drug abuse out of the realm of law enforcement and place it in the realm of a health problem—where it belongs Strict polluter pays policies Eliminate EPA permits to pollute Rescind sovereign immunity for government polluters, as the US government is our largest polluter Hold both government and corporate polluters responsible and individually liable Protect the environment by defending property rights Allow private groups to acquire and preserve federal land after securing legal agreements to preserve and protect them Oppose the use of "eminent domain" (taking of private land by force) Promote the development of alternative fuels, recycled products, and environmental innovation by allowing a responsible free-market to thrive End all corporate welfare (subsidies to oil companies, timber companies, corporate farms, etc)
  4. Here is the one I should be flying in, P51D Mustang "Red Nose" Red Nose's History "Old Red Nose" has had a long and colorful history, dating back to the closing days of World War II. It was produced at the North American Aviation plant in Inglewood, California, and rolled out on 11 April, 1945 and was to accepted by the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) as serial number 44-73843. It was shipped to Page Army Air Force Base in Florida later that month and assigned to the 388th AAF Base Unit of the Third Air Force. Little is known of its service there, but it was probably used for training purposes. In September of 1945 the aircraft was transferred to the 336th Base Unit stationed at Sarasota, Florida. In November of that year, it was shipped to Hobbs AAFB in Texas and placed in storage. Its only other journey in the next six years was a transfer to the San Antonio Air Material Center at Kelly Air Force Base in 1947. Though in storage for six years, this aircraft, now known as USAF F-51D-25NA s/n 42-73843, had not yet finished its tour of duty. In January of 1951, this aircraft was dropped from the USAF inventory and transferred to Canada under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program. It was officially accepted by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) on 11 January 1951, and was placed in stored reserve in Trenton, Ontario. A month later, on 26 February, this aircraft was once again flying, now with the No. 416 "Lynx" Squadron (regular) of the RCAF, based in Uplands, Ontario. It served with this regular unit for little more than a year before transfer to the No. 10 Technical Services Unit in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on 28 March 1952. Here it stayed until assigned to the No. 420 "Snowy Owls" squadron (auxiliary) of the RCAF in London, Ontario. Its tenure with this unit lasted until 19 July 1956, when the aircraft was listed as awaiting disposal and placed into storage. It was then bought by a private company in the United States, and ended back in San Antonio, Texas, now as the property of Stinson Field Aircraft. What followed was a fateful day in the history of the CAF. On 17 October 1957, Mr. Lloyd P. Nolen, then of "Mustang and Company," bought the aircraft with three friends for $2,500. This signified the unofficial start of the CAF; indeed, later that year, someone painted "Confederate Air Force" on its tail and the name stuck. In December of that year she was repainted with invasion stripes and coded VF*G, and at this time the members referred to the aircraft as "Old Red Nose." She was officially donated to the CAF in 1977 and became part of the collection of the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum in 1991. The airplane was restored in 1993 and is in excellent shape. "Old Red Nose" was assigned to the Dixie Wing of the CAF in November of 2002 and took to the air for the first time in 4 years in September of 2003. Early pic of the plane.

  5. I am 24 with an electronics degree, took some chemistry, and have had many physics courses. I havent been to any classes for over 4 years now (associates degree). I have always excelled in Math and Science, but failed at English courses. I work as a Facility Technician for the local telephone company, I live and die Ohms Law in the real world. I havent applied my science knownlodge in quite awhile. I havent been able to find one particular area to focus on yet, gotta find my specialty. An idiot is someone who does nothing to better themselves, if you apply yourself and work at improving something, then you are far above that.
  6. Nah, there will be something going on for a few days, then a few months later, I think if so and so was elected.
  7. Iraqi surplus?
  8. I have a chance for 750 USD to fly in a P51 Mustang for a half hour. Its one of my favorite planes from history, and there will be a restored one here in the area. What do you all think, is it worth it, would you do it?
  9. I still think you should get more comps and build a Beowulf Cluster though.
  10. Abortion has a serious affect the woman. My exgf had an abortion befor I started dating her, she also has Bipolar disorder which didnt help but put her into a real bad mental state. She has to take 3 different medications to stabilize her. People say its not living till a certain point, but yes, it is a living being from the time it is created. We came close a couple of times, but was lucky not to have pregnant. If it was to happened, I would have been a man about it and took responcibility. Her x was a looser bastard that didnt care for her, just used her. In the long term, maybe it would of been good for her to have had her baby, but for now, she could not handle it.
  11. The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Winston Churchill John Kerry and George W. Bush are 10th cousins, and both was members of Skull and Bones.
  12. Dont forget, when nasa put up Hubble, they forgot to put in the lens. Ooops, and calculated in feet and programmed in meters for the last attempt to put something on Mars.
  13. Since I dont like guns or anything of that nature, I had to go get this today... HEHEHE, thought my Glock 21 needed a buddy.
  14. Hey subjunk, I have my limited edition reserved and ready for pick up on day one.
  15. It really doesnt matter who you vote for though, they both belong to the Skull and Bones. And they have went back through there families and they are 10th cousins. Kerry will most likely win because he has more blue blood in him.
  16. Bill Clinton takes control of UN in 2006, Kerry or Bush is president, the Pope dies = A New World Order
  17. Flu shot is just another form of population control anyways.
  18. It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government. — Thomas Paine
  19. Get the car, just think of GTA or Need for Speed while you are driving for the intertainment value.
  20. Why do we want to clone humans, do we really more of one person? It makes no sense to me to make a copy of someone. I would rather see time put into something better.
  21. I just bought a 19inch LG LCD monitor, and I am running dual monitor with my 19inch crt flatscreen. All I have to say, Im glad I waited for the speakers and went with a new monitor instead.
