Ok, the rebellion thing was a response to Joel. The voting thing in a nutshell. (Solves all the problems in the country today.) 1) If you own land you can vote. 2) If you are, or have been in the military, you can vote. (We are going to assume that if you have #1 or #2 that your a...

Sure, but I pay for healthcare and longterm care insurance man, so if I suddenly could not work, I would have some measure of income. Same with my retirement plan. It's there for times of need, not just for when I decide I'm done working for a living. Welfare is a nice idea, but it's been...

Population? LOL What the population of those on Welfare? LOL So, in my society, these people on welfare would not be allowed to vote untill they owned land, or joined the military, so what rebellion are you reffering to? Oh, and if they rebelled, at least they would be doing something...

Inhumane is North Africa today. If they don't like you there, the ones with guns kill the ones with no guns. That is reality outside of the developed world. They kill you if your the wrong race. They kill you if your the wrong religion. Finding food is secondary, so there is fammine and...

Ok, so now exxon is killing people... Hit squads you know.... I don't want to load up the jails with anymore welfare reciepiants than we already have, so just end the program completely. Here is my plan. You live where we tell you to live. There is plenty of housing already built for...

Cool for you man. Seriously. There is one group I forgot to have in my "voters" and that is the military. So, if you own land or serve(d) in the military you should be able to vote. (And it would pretty much guarentee being a citizen in my book too.) Joel, I know your stuck on the idea...

Killing people? Allowance? Ok, where exactly does the killing people start and stop in the Insurance business? You should think before you write Joel. Comments like that make you look stupid. (To use your word.) And Derk, did your parents make you do anything for your allowance? If...

Selfishness and greed? Based on who's idea of what these are I ask you? I belive that the money you "earn" is the only money you will appreciate spending, and I stand by that statement for life. History has proven that money given away freely to those that have not earned it results in a...

Next item is Indian Reservations. What a complete error on our part, and theirs. The state of reservations in this country is for the most part pretty pathetic. The rate of poverty is overwhelming, and they are now discovering gambleing as a route to wealth for the tribe, but has it really...

Let's expand this further OK? I will use examples to make my case as well. Let's tackle welfare first. The idea was to help those that could not help themselves.... (Or something noble like that, but basicly it was a nation apologizing for how rich some had become, and trying to give...

Very interesting book, and subject. I belive that only the money you have earned is truely worth anything of value to you. Sure you can spend the easy buck, but you don't appreciate it's value as much as the money you earned with your wits, brawn or forsight.

Well, if you belive we evolved from apes, then your right. But that is a whole other thead my friend! Personally I think we are here to evolve into a higher life form, but that is just my opinion. Oh, and conservation of hydrocarbons and fish worshipping is not required in my version of...

I find that street racing my neighbor who is a local watch captian is the best option... His Mustang is faster off the line, but I can pull him on top 9 times out of 10... The funny part is his guessed my speed at over 120mph when I passed him one day... (I was going about 123mph, I looked...

Smoking is like guns to the civil wars around the globe. The more you smoke, the faster you die. The more guns you have, the faster you die. I say give them a pack of smokes and an AK! Oh, here in the more enlightened and educated parts of the world, anyone who smokes, or starts smoking...

So, BP has the silly ass advertisments talking about reduing C02... Promote the myth and raise the profits... Shell is going the same route. what a supprise. At least Exxon has the stones to go their own route, and it's leading them to reccord profits, so I suppose either route works fine in...

I know your going to claim the source is bogus, but Patrick Beddard from Car and Driver magazine wrote a very good article on electric cars. Now keep in mind this guy likes hybrids, and electric cars. Thinks they are neat, and likes to see if he can get the best fuel economy, or power use...

5150, just buy the Prius, get the JDM mod so you can plug in your car at night, and sell your supra if your so worried about C02. There is one thing you have to keep in mind if you are using a electric car. That power has to be generated somewhere, and if your using coal produced power, it's...

Hate it when the Dr's are trying to figure out what's wrong with you, and your in pain, and they act like they don't really care too much... My wife had her apendix out last year, and it only took them 5 hours to figure out what's up. But a friend of her's was in there for like a week before...

Stock to stock, the STI would kick the cobra's butt in a true rally race. (One with corners, traffic and other stuff you come across driving across town.) Straight line, the STI wins to 30mph, then the cobra finds traction and the gap closes up with a cobra win in the 1/4 mile generally...

Economics drive what you drive, if you'll excuse the pun. When I lived in Iran, they barely were paving the roads then, and people were buying cars and trucks and mopeds as fast as possible. I thought Iran when the Shaw rulled there still was a great place, and it was entering the 20th...
