There is also discussions to incorporate attachments into that as well. Once the mechanism is there for charging, it's just a matter of time . . .

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 01:52 PM) I'm not a Paul Simon fan, but "Sounds Of Silence" is a kick-ass song. I've been getting into a lot of Dire Straits stuff recently too. They probably don't qualify because they emerged in the Disco era, but then again, Pink Floyd tracks from "The Wall" should qualify as classic rock, so I'll mention this absolutely phenomenal track: The Sultans Of Swing Dire Straits came and went so fast I don't think anyone really noticed their talents. Simon and Garfunkel ave the greatest harmonies I've ever heard. Many times it is impossible for me to tell when one voice stopped and the other started.

The balancing act that the US always finds ourselves in is: We are the 800000000 pound gorilla that everyone hates. We can annihilate almost any country on the planet. Right or wrong, nations fear us and see us meddling into problems that aren't ours. If your in BIIIIIG trouble, who you gonna call? Of course, the US, and we'll spend billions ridding your stink hole of a country of some idiot that you, and possibly us, put into power. Of course while doing that, you will have to denounce us as aggressors and evil.

I guess he doesn't understand that a member of that group can use that insult, but outsiders don't get that same privilege. Duh, what planet is he on? :headshake I hear Mexican slang all the time and have to be very careful in not repeating it. I know they can get away with it, but from me it would be insulting to all but my closest friends.

Any sailors? I need to learn to sail and don't have the first clue where to start, except maybe on a sailboat and I have that.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) Just to clarify, I wouldn't want to eliminate any country from the UN. They all need a chair at the table. I just think that some countries' human rights records are so obviously disgusting, that there is no reason why they need to be given "their turn" on that particular committee. That placement should be earned, and voted on by a majority of countries (not a select few). How about one man, one vote for the UN? Those that dislike the electoral College for American Presidents, would you agree to allow China and India a billion plus votes each?

I feel sorry that any life ends like this. One f***ed up person destroys so many lives on his way out.

We will fall not with a bang, but with an economic whimper, like the Soviet Union. Under mountains of debt, when the rest of the world can not or will not loan us any more money. Or perhaps from civil strife. Of course it's a long shot but a billion Chinese could have a say.

If by cleaning up the UN you mean eliminating waste, corruption, etc. then I agree 100% If you mean they should agree with everything any single country wants, including the US, then I disagree. We are a super power and rank third in world population, but I don't think the UN functions very well if they just rubber stamp anything we want, or the Chinese want, or that India wants, etc. There are countries we want eliminated, and their are countries that want to eliminate us. The UN should be one vehicle to resolve these things peacefully. That can only happen if countries are free to make pronouncments like Chavez just did. And I assume his view did not come as a surprise to anyone with an internet connection and a brain.

Boy Scouts of America has a couple excellent DVDs and discussion guides that are age appropriate for 7-10 year olds and 11-13 and 14-up. It is scary how ill prepared kids are to recognize, resist, and report. Many Scout units do not offer that training, if your child is in a Pack, Troop, Crew, or Post, ask to run the training. You may also ask at your local Council center if they will loan the DVDs to community groups. What has worried me the past couple years is all the focus has been on Catholic Priests, teaching kids, without causing anxiety, that a predator can be anyone, is important.

When old farts like FlaSoxxJim and I were kids this device was wireless, now wired is more popular. I'd bet everyone here has one. Any guesses?

Sounds like much of the same social programs the government offers to the general public, in various ways, sounds perfectly acceptable to me. I would be interested in the results and what application it would have to the general public.

The GPS technology will be so small that it isn't like wearing a scarlet letter. By the way, we had a similar law for adult establishments that prevented them being opened within 1,600 feet of Churches, Schools, Licensed Day Care Facilities, and one or two other types of places. Turns out there is no point in the city that isn't within 1,600 feet of one of those places When I first saw 1,600 I knew what someone must of had up their sleeve, I was just thinking there was a specific location they were trying to avoid, then I saw it was the whole city and LMAO.

Hmmmmm, none here. But I will say we have one jam every year that would rival any of the worse in the nation. There is one highway on and off South Padre Island. Two lanes on and two lanes off. During Spring Break, everyone hits the bridge at the same time. It is not uncommon to have a 3-4 hour stall to cross the 2 mile bridge. Two years I've watched it from the beach and laughed. What gets nasty is all the people drinking a few beers while they wait, then needing to relieve themselves. No place to hide on a bridge.
