Text message explosion and addiction
technology has given us lots more free time...and then filled that gap with more crap we can/must do... i do it seldomly, but only when i'm not really do anything else. I find it more annoying when people are in class and can't stay off the phone for more than a minute at a time.

Jewish ‘modesty patrols’ sow fear in Israel
it's Utopianism... you can't force people that don't agree with the "law" to conform to it. that's why only adult utopia's can almost succeed...and once something changes that balanced system, it will almost certainly be crushed by it's own limits. edit: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=utopia utopianism 1. the views and habits of mind of a visionary or idealist, sometimes beyond realization. 2. impracticable schemes of political and social reform.

Plan on graduating with an Industrial tech degree in May. find a good job not out of the mid west and beable to buy a camaro too. buying a new PC as a (maybe early) graduation present, so maybe i could play things like COD4...? and diablo 3 when it come out. wanting to secure some of my wealth...maybe buy a "safe" drawer (~$80 on-line walmart) and start buying some (rolls of 20?) silver dollars every year. edit: 68, a friend and his wife, Julie, are expecting in the 1st 1/2 of nov, too, i think

McCain's trend
sorry... that screams limiting freedom of speech...that is most certainly not country first. not that BO is any better, he wants to send even more of our money overseas for the "world poverty tax"

McCain's trend
a "stock market/banker" guy (not really sure) came into my work and talked to my boss... I said..."we shouldn't let the government get involved" or something very close to it like this is what happens when the gov does things and he said, yeah but we have that or FDIC gets used... which of course is just more Gov getting involved... edit...grammar and such.

Filling the local landfill
no no no..Dems love for tax payers to foot bills..so he wouldn't "spend" his money on charitable causes when they want the only "charity" to be the gov, and by "charity" i mean mandated taxes so they either steal from you or raise the prices through taxes/tariffs....

Sarah Palin.........?
the little substance usually showed up from 1 or 2 people...the people that didn't have substance showed it.

Sarah Palin.........?
can't one say these are the same view...potentially? i think one could.
-
Sarah Palin.........?
i watched a little here and there... Biden says it more like BOOSH. hehe lots of things he said was "we'll spend more money" for this or that. Palin...uh...it's funny when she comes up on a word and then has a Yupper accent in it. i didn't really pay attention, but it was a lot of john McCain: the maverick, comments. LA, you're right, there should have been more like 5-6 people on that stage if we truly believe in democracy...at least from recognized parties.

Recommend me a system
the same basics but an intel system E8200 2.66ghz and a MB with only 1 pciex2.0 comes out ~$650 of course my amd system is a bit overkill the amd with a tricore is ~$670.... that'd give you plenty of room for a vid card / dvd drive.... maybe a monitor?
-
Recommend me a system
a test first. https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedW...4750%20amd%20QC that doesn't seem to work... it's a ~$730 system.... 500gb Hdd, 9950 125w, 790fx w/ sb750 mobo, smilodon case, 550w seasonic PSU, 4 GB 2x2gb ram....just no dvd/video card... so you could choose that yourself.... i forgot the 9950 would not have a fan/hs... that'd be ...$30-60?

Just had a thought about CAFE
couldn't you say the same about v8s in some areas? not that that will continue much if things keep going the way they are. is the widespread v6's a sign that there are too many similar models on the market?
