loki

nice... i'm closer to 1/6th million, it's coming slowly. lol

i seem to hear Taft being brought up as the last of that kind ...that got to the oval office. maybe isolationism has to much stigma... would insulationism be a better term? lol you know..when it gets cold or the door is open too long, we gotta take action...? lol

there should be a trial of the high ups at AIG... oh, and the people that spent our money on them too. i'll take my share... 150B/300M, back please.

very nice.

so true. good ideas and good products come from good competition... laws that limit competition degrade the quality of those goods. this could also go for wages. the Intellectual Property laws need to be revised too, i think, i think many others think that too.

you mean like uncle sam? or the bald eagle, or the.... yeah. hehe it'd be great if we were once again the "shining city on the hill"

Great post Ricer. yes the rule of law would be nice to bring back... especially #4 seeing it's only congress' authority to control our currency (gold and silver) healthy bit of nationalism... as in how it was for WW2? we love our country, don't F with us! lol

that's just ~1hour north of me. that would be pretty sweet.

Awesome comic and

Washington told us to be permanent allies with none, friendly to all (who don't attack us) ....basically Sweetums from muppets, hehe. that ended around WWI if i remember correctly.... The U.N. is horrible for our national sovereignty... and other countries' sovereignty too

yes, but ideally people should beable to cross freely, as long as they are known (to authorities) to have crossed.... and not be people with blantantly bad backgrounds.

taking it in another way, more personal level... isolationism and indepence can coexist, but they're not same.

the concept behind the word would mean individually (or families) we'd have to be self sufficient. as a nation we'd have to be that too... it could be theoretically possible, if people wanted to do without quite a few things... but before we got there, we'd have to fundamentally change the idea that gov't can do more good than bad (not sure how i mean this...?). becoming isolationists would grow certain businesses bigger, and practically kill others... like GM, and other international businesses the good that would come would be quick increases in mining and manufacturing jobs, given enough knowledgeable people to work in those sectors... we'd have a big influx of military men and women back into this country (something that should happen anyway) the bad would out weigh the good, in the long run, i don't think people would be content in an "isolated" country. isolationism would either require much more gov't or people practially being uber-nationalistic ( edit: /conservative, but not as in libertarian conservative /edit).... ideas on this thought? ideas on the rest of my post?

fosgate is still good, it could just be that they're partnering with oem's and the results can be much less than what people that would have a set up installed properly, would like. so ..they're just trying out markets, to mixed perceptions... just remember everyone's hearing is a tad different, and some just don't care for good sound quality, over loudness.

has promise....

happy birthday

yes.. studies are showing more "soot" on snow on "us", mainly from china and such, which more easily melts snow.... so even if it's not warming of any significance... the tells of it "warming", ice melt, could be absolutely misleading when not truly shown why it's melting (not air temperature)... so i think more ground based science needs to be done instead of just looking at sat pics of ice retreating.

any updates CK3? early performance specs of the RV740 (AMD's radeon 4750) is showing huge promise to compete between the 4830 and the 4850, while costing only ~$100est.

i thought this thread was about dogbert. lol anyone hear that the satellite that was going to study GW "closer" failed to reach orbit? lol

nicely summed up, and mostly fairly.

yes, but you noticed the separate linear scales for torque and hp, right? very nice idea overall... but the premium fuel required doesn't fit.

looks like i'll prolly see this for my birthday. comes out on my dad's lol

pretty much anythign that you don't normally hear on the radio... my college's station used to play cake, ben folds, even they might be giants once in a while.... now... might have cake on 1 time a day.... basically if you can hear it on a nother channel, play it...maybe 3-4 times a day, never more. if no other station plays it...play it 2 times aday if possible ..have theme days...?

best followup question ever. lol $18... OMG!!!!!

did a little, but powerful and new, set up here. just remember that phenom sounds like it overclocks to 3.5ghz very easily... some have gotten to 3.7-3.8 on air.
