  1. What's up comrade!!! I like the new interceptor, it has kind of a Robocop look to it........ Wait a minute, didn't they use Tempos in the original Robocop movie???
  2. Maybe..... They have already announced that 190 will be laid off in January when RV (heavy truck steering gear) goes out... Maybe then.....
  3. I tried that. They said there has to be an ILO, plant closing (duh, we're closing here in Indianapolis) or an open window........ I don't quite get it, everyone else that I know of here got one regardless of whether or not there was an open window.....
  4. thanks, I've been looking to get one but have been told there are none available.....
  5. Great start, I think next we should rip up all of the highways in the nation too, I'm tired of paying for them................ I only drive on the ones near me, so why in the hell am I paying for people in, say, Alabama to drive around willy-nilly whenever they want?!?!?!?!?!?!?
  6. That's a really nice way to think of your fellow citizens. Wow, I'm sorry not everyone makes as much money as you...... Very classy........
  7. Sorry, I firmly disagree. Hundreds may die due to unsanitary conditions in Canada but THOUSANDS die here every year because of a lack of coverage. I understand that we get into the "Is health care a right?" debate here, I happen to land firmly on the side of it being so. I haven't actually heard a Canadian sound off on their system as "evil" or "bad", nor have I heard anyone from the U.K. say so either. I HAVE heard our (FOX news, EIB network, etc......) media spoon feed us the story that it is, in fact, evil...... Who would I believe? Probably the ones who live it rather than those who have an interest in keeping it from happening. No one says that we have to carbon copy the U.K. or Canada for our system either and from what I've seen, it is not. As to the specter of "socialism, fascism, or communism" rearing it's ugly head, please stop. You know it and I know it, that the U.S. will not become George Orwell's "Animal Farm".
  8. I don't really care who trashed it, even if he did, I hadn't heard that one... Mitt Romney was the last one I read a quote from. Doesn't matter, it's still untrue....... I haven't lost any bills in the mail, had my car repossessed or lost my house because my loan payment didn't make it, had the power, heat, phone, or cable TV turned off, I've received everything that I've ever bought on eBay that they handled. Hell, I've even got all of my junk mail....... All of these are handled by the U.S. Postal Service.......
  9. You are correct, though there are those in Washington I like and even think of as good and decent individuals, I trust none 100%. Some have their hearts in the right place and are truly trying to help the best way they know how, some don't. I wouldn't go as far as to say I would be afraid though, but I will stay informed and involved. This IS our government as much as some would like to say that it isn't. No, we can't walk into the White House and start making demands, that's what our representatives are for. Apathy has put us in this situation, fear from fringe groups (on BOTH sides of the spectrum) have perpetuated it. We have voices, lines of communication, and a representative who is supposed to do our will. If they don't, they should lose their office! When only 35% of registered voters turn out in a presidential election year, that's when I am afraid. Because then, we HAVE given up our power............
  10. BINGO!!!!!!! It's always more fun, and interesting, to listen to the outlandish and the inflammatory rather than gathering the plain and simple, though less sensational, facts.
  11. Oh yeah...... The famed, and untrue, "They're throwing grandma under the bus" argument..... That sprouted, like most things, from a half-truth. The new plan would be EXPANDED to include end-of-life counseling for the families of elderly patients....... Somehow it was twisted around by the Faux News crowd to include the infamous, and imaginary, "death squads". Say it with me: "OMFG!!!! THEY"RE GONNA KILL GRAMDMA!!!!!!!!" ..........and BTW, it's spelled "Daschle".........
  12. :hysterical: HA HA! :hysterical: I thought they were friggin perfect...... I love how when we have a recall for something, it's usually something nominal like "your head light bulbs may burn out faster than normal", which then becomes front page news...... I'll bet something like this, which could prove FATAL, will only get an honorable mention in the back of the sports section by the topless club ads, if it gets printed anywhere........ Like the last one where their TRUCK FRAMES WERE RUSTING IN HALF, or maybe the one when the Tundra's ALL NEW V-8 was barfing up its camshafts.......
  13. The USPS is ALWAYS brought up as a failure when this subject is discussed..... How on earth is the postal service a failure? It operates on it's own funding, offers very competitive shipping rates, delivers in a timely manner and if you've been to a post office lately, they have been upgraded and offer EXCELLENT customer service and several shipping options, both full and self-service...... I ship a lot of items, and have a lot of things shipped to me... My FIRST choice is ALWAYS the USPS, UPS second and FedEx ONLY if there is NO other option.......... Let's see........... USPS, least cost, self-funded, great service........ GOVERNMENT AGENCY UPS, greater cost, though still competitive, great service...........UNIONIZED COMPANY FedEx, MOST COSTLY, service not so great, I have had several items LOST from them and NEVER saw them............NON-UNION COMPANY...... Hmmmmmm........................ Maybe folks who throw out crap like saying "the USPS is a failure" should be saying "If there's going to be a public option, we should model it on the USPS".
  14. WHOA!!!! Easy there tiger!!!!! I'm not throwing these out as fact....... AND I'm not saying that I agree with this number, because I don't... I think it's complete bullshit, I'm just relating how these jagbags at FOX news and every other right wing POS "news" outlet get their numbers. We're on the same side here........
