Unhappy America
satty is right, but then points the finger at labor needs, not what FOG was saying. we have the born in the US, you're a citizen!!!...go to school free, get tax payed medical treatment....and what not. the "people who are ecouraging these people to come here" are our welfare regulations and unfair trade...AKA the politicians "children". take away those "rights" payed for by true citizens, tax payers. then they only come here and fill in jobs we evidently need. not to be mean, but you're trying to address a symptom or 2, and not the illness. One usually has side effects from medicine that doesn't totally cure your ails so you have to take it for...ever, and you never get "healed". this country should not have a "step over the border, collect $200, just watch your illegal back space". it should be, show us identification and welcome to the US, now get to work.

Unhappy America
I'm "arguing" that even the most "intellectual" president has made...some of the worst precedents, and GW's disregard for the constitution has many precedents too. I'm thinking of picking up the book, who killed the constitution. that author spoke briefly in DC at the Freedom march that was not in the MSM. he gave some examples thinking it was from bush, but it was actually from H. S. Truman's presidency. Yes, i agree that GWB has not been a good president, and prolly one of the least "intellectual", at least of the last 100 years. If Cheney really has not "told him what to do", would be even more surprising, cause that man has been in D.C. WAY too long, in positions of "high authority".

GMnextWiki
isn't that what wiki's are about... they are incomplete untill people fill in the gaps and are agreed upon because of evidence.

something i saw
if you headed a global company, don't you think you'd want to be living high on the hog too? your product is subsidized, needed practically everywhere, and can spend multi-millions on people to bribe, i mean lobbyists to talk to law makers. idk if you've heard of Pickens, oil man running for congress, i think, in TN or KY, pushing wind/solar. he's prolly a great businessman, but I'd very much question his motives. greed pays and pays and pays,...over greediness doesn't in the long run. if one does not like greed, live only to your needs and see how you like it. even if it's temporary, $3 gas will make tons of people rejoice, i will, a little, and if/when things go sour again, they'll just find another scapegoat.

Unhappy America
really? Wilson had a PhD and was the president in power that "helped" create the US central bank. the FED. something that was quite discussed between the founders.... or at least jefferson and hamilton i believe, might be wrong, and obviously they didn't make one back then.

Unhappy America
and lots of people treat Obama like a messiah... I can't vote for either with a good conscience In Bold... I agree, but there is no "common man", unless they're getting pretty old, receiving their SS checks, and...uh, know what it was like with $.25 gas. those people are getting more common every day... and sadly that puts McCain in that camp but he can't tell the truth, or remember what he said just a few years ago. I'm still in the air for a write in, libertarian, or constitution party vote. I voted for bush last time, my first pres race vote... I wish i knew then what i know now. most likely, nov won't be good, cause it'd take near a miracle for the best man to win. forever.

Unhappy America
and sadly, more than 1/2 the people that are elected, think we need to help the rest of the world first. "we", the majority voting public, just need to see how far we've gone from our roots and what makes this country truely great are those roots. honor past commitments (internationally and internally), but examine them if they are not favorable, and correct them when needed. the rest should fall into place.

The strange things that end up in Germany

Camaro Nurburgring time
just think what it would turn in if it was ~150lbs lighter, like some of us really hoped for..~3750 or so. ok, so maybe 100lbs lighter. think that would be good for 6secs? edit: we are assuming it's the ls3/stick combo for that time. that would be awesome if it was the L99/auto combo for that time.

Major Camaro Announcement

The Torrent takes Vacation... In WY, MT and SD!
very nice pics. what kind of camera do you have? just one tip on a few pics, try not to put the horizon in the middle of your pictures, add more sky, or add more ground.

something i saw
there was an "article" saying that the price of oil is dropping because the dollar is gaining strength to the Canadian dollar. makes sense since canada is the biggest % of where we get our imported oil from. just info for thought. "article" as in on the net, and i can't find the link at the moment.

Other topics you want to explore....
LOL wow. prolly cause they have "freedoms" found nowhere else in the world. ?? on topic. sorry LA if i was kinda one of those people, or something. uh, i'm kinda with camino, just about everything 1/2 way decent has been brought up in the lounge. i could vote hot chicks, but i think i've seen at least a few women start posting, then sooner or later stop, for whatever reason, but i doubt "hot chicks" would help keep and bring in more women to the forums. sports don't seem to get much attention here. fashion...unless it's about other people is rarely brought up.... ever, maybe, more than 20 times, not that i've seen. to end a lengthy post.... speaking of, look at word association. lol

The California Exodus
any slug fest seems to quickly turn into a locked thread. so as long as it's fairly enforced, i don't know why anything can't be talked about. anything having to do with regulations, company direction has vast potential to incite "political talk". if this site was relegated to only comment about new and old cars.... i think here would not be near as lively as it is.

The California Exodus
i think that is a vestigial rule from the Josh days. LOL
