  1. The problem was so bad on one particular bridge here in Pittsburgh that the city built a net and a second "bridge" under the bridge to catch anything tossed over.
  2. From the debates in Michigan: Sorry, wrong. Go directly to School House Rock, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.This guy is a front runner? This is why we're allowed to be disgusted. Here we have a leading Presidential candidate who doesn't even understand something covered in a PBS cartoon from 20 years ago. In a moment of sanity that was viewed mostly as insanity:
  3. Darn.... the "For" got cut out of the picture.
  4. best quote of the evening!
  5. Unfortunately, what most people have forgotten is that our electorial process has now been rigged by companies with political agendas..... I don't just mean by buying votes. I mean wholesale manipulation of the vote counting process. Why more people aren't angry about this, I'll never know. I don't think anyone has forgotten those. Nor have we forgotten the Oklahoma City bombing or the L.A. Riots. The Liberty that was sough includes the freedom to burn the flag in protest. Have you watched Faux News in the past 8 years or so? Yet the children's book series Harry Potter is the number one banned book in libraries across this "free" nation. Yet we have some religions in this country who would like to impose their own laws on the rest of us. They have been getting dangerously close to doing so. We should be swearing at the vast corruption involved in actually building much of this infrastructure. Senator Steven's bridge to nowhere? West Virginia having some of the finest highways in the country? Whatever happened to funding public infrastructure OTHER than highways? After world war 2 we rebuilt much of the German and French rail infrastructure while the Pennsylvania RR and New York Central RR, the largest rail networks in the world crumbled into ruin. I don't think anyone has forgotten any of those mass murders. We should be horrified of injustice regardless of scale. Further more, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard. No one has illusions that it's "better in Burma". However that does not mean we should allow injustice at home. We MUST take our politicians to task for their wrong doings. We MUST stop erosions of our liberty. We MUST refuse to allow the circumvention of our Constitution. We become a little less free every day by our acquiescence to our government's assault on liberty. We are at a time... the first time in our history, where there is a chance that only two families will have been in power for over 20 years. Think about that for a second. There are people on this board... who can only remember a Bush or a Clinton being president....and now there is a likely chance that there will be another Clinton. If you think she'll give up any of the executive powers the current president has seized, you've got a big surprise in store.
  6. Ugh.... false patriotism used to further the eroding of what we had in terms of freedoms. Just because what other people are doing is worse doesn't mean we should lower the standards we set for ourselves. I am disgusted by our actions at home and abroad simply because we're supposed to be better than that. We're supposed to be the good guys remember?
  7. False. If you get rear ended by a semi, the jarring motion will be just about the same in a Prius or an Escalade. Big SUVs have a greater propensity to flip and in general have fewer safety features. You are most safe in something like a Taurus AWD with side impact airbags or an '08 Malibu which "covers every interior surface with an airbag"
  8. Not bad! Not bad at all!
  9. I like how the rear door on the flower car are still intact.
  10. 9-3 currently has a $4,000 rebate. Base model with automatic is $23k, nicely equipped for $26k. Aura is coming with a 4-banger also.
  11. I'm not jewish, but if I see the nazi flag being presented in a way as to demonstrate the nazi party's intent... then yes I get offended. I get offended whenever I see irrational hatred being spewed at anyone, even if I'm not the target.
  12. Taurus/Sable - great new engine, more room than anyone in this class, surprising fuel economy for it's size, safer than anything in this class, available AWD Impala - more car for your money, flex fuel available, V8 available, in black people get out of your way, great reliability CPO CTS 3.6 - Solid reliability, still turns heads Lucerne V6 - solid reliability, vault like quiet, more style, presence, and panache than Camry or Accord Milan - even a base model 4cylinder looks more upscale than a Camry, great fuel efficiency for it's size
  13. 9-3.... unless a waterfall grill is required.
  14. I medicate myself with gin. screw prozac
  15. Trucks can go off road!?! :mind-blowing:
  16. Clipped from The Onion?
  17. LOL @ the mud that's been photochopped onto the grill of the Ridgeline! It almost looks as if they put a plexi-glass panel up in front of the truck and then splattered the mud. I didn't know mud could stick to the empty area of a grill!
  18. bah! never! pick another letter... they can't have this one... *channels 68*
  19. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
  20. Everyday problems aren't what one goes to a shrink for.
