"Mr. Kerry has the MOST liberal voting record of any US Senator. " Hey, haven't heard that one trumpted constantly on right wing ads and commentators or anything! Did you come up with that one yourself? The record is public knowledge. I WAS unaware that it was from 2003 only. But, as I po...

I would say that it depends on what you said in the voicemail you left yesterday. I'm hoping you gave some explanation for mixup. If not, I'd absolutely call again. Even if you did, calling again probably wouldn't hurt you in the process, unless the guy's a complete jerk. As the owner of a tech busi...

"1. Democrats (especially liberal ones) are generally not seen as strong on defense. Mr. Kerry has the MOST liberal voting record of any US Senator. " Not really. http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh072904.shtml Interesting read. It still puts Kerry on the left end of the Democrats though. It al...

EDIT: Sorry Will, I missed your last post before I posted this. Let's just review a bit... 1. Democrats (especially liberal ones) are generally not seen as strong on defense. Mr. Kerry has the MOST liberal voting record of any US Senator. 2. Our current situation regarding terrorism is generally see...

Followup... I believe that the "real" purpose of this thread is an attempt to blow holes in Thurlow, thus tarnishing the believability of all of the SVs, their ad, and the book. I think that I've put forth a possible explanation of events that could make both sides think they're right. Gra...

Hehe, OK, I'll play. But I have to tell you... snotty patronizing responses like that are annoying. Now go back and read my last sentence, think about it, and then I'll tell you why I wasn't, and am STILL not dodging your post :) . First, I have to admit that I'm not going to register for that site....

So what then do you make of Thurlow's own medal contradiction? Well, his own explanation is here Excerpt: For Immediate Release August 19, 2004 Statement By Swift Boat Veterans for Truth Member Larry Thurlow I am convinced that the language used in my citation for a Bronze Star was language taken d...

If it was JUST Thurlow, or a just a small group, I'd be inclined to agree. How can anyone be 'disgusted' about someone who went to war, then came back and argued against it? Talk about bloodthirsty people. The way YOU put (spin) it, yeah. What Kerry did, though, was come back and talk about all of t...

that's exactly my point kurupt. forget all his medals and all that crap...he went to vietnam. case closed for me. national guard is where the people went to eek out of the war...he went to vietnam, whether he thought he was going to europe or not, he went, and he fought. The WHOLE POINT in this cas...

Wow... I'm an 'old' guy, and that would put you already reading German 20 something years before I was born.

I've got to admit that I can't remember how long ago it was, but the whole topic of In-Vitro fertilization, surrogate mothers, and all that's related caused a pretty huge debate, and THIS is why. Pandora's box was opened anyway.

... I mean with one hand you'll raise a bible and go on a rampage about something as simple as an avatar claiming it infringes with your beliefes and in the other, a stone to cast going completely against your beliefs.. To much manâ?¦ :roll: I don't recall raising a Bible OR going on a rampage OR c...

It's as offensive to you as your praise jesus signatures are to me. All relative. :) I'm Sorry... I don't remember ever doing that. I'm not an "in your face" kind of person, and I don't practice my faith that way. Interesting, though, that you jumped to that conclusion about me. I was als...

Ok, what if someone had an avatar that was made my taking a picture of some other DBB member's 5 yr old daughter and photochopping it onto some kiddie porn? I know... HAHAHAHA... lighten up Herc. That would be funny too, right? I don't really expect you to understand it if you don't already. There's...

When you kids grow up, hopefully you'll grow to understand that defiling a symbol of someone else's faith is a little more serious than a joke.

Doesn't it at least violate the rules of the (non-NHB) DBB forums?

I know we have some mutual friends, and I've never had ANYTHING against you, off-color humor included.

Still, I have to say that I'm finding your latest avatar more than a little offensive and disturbing...

As to the "Bourbon" vs. "Whiskey" question... Bourbon is defined, as I understand it, as sourmash whiskey. It used to be that alot of whiskeys were labeled as bourbon, but some time ago, they were forced (at least in the US) to remove the word. Early Times comes to mind as an exa...

I'm seeing a disturbing pattern here. Kinda like that latest TV show where they pick un-talented people, and play them up for a big fall... then everyone laughs at them. Just because someone's a geek doesn't mean they can't have a place to meet other people that might understand (and accept) their g...

Personally, I like the Trinitrons. Dell used to sell their own branded 19" Trinitron in black. They don't sell it anymore, but we've started seeing them showing up on refurbished sites for very good prices. Sorry, don't have time to look for a link at the moment. I have one of 'em at home, and ...

Maybe someone can either give me a suggestion, or point me at a web site that discusses this stuff. Here's the deal... My company currently has a small-business Roadrunner package (1M x 384 with one usable static IP for $125/month). The static IP is assigned to the WAN side of a Linksys cable router...

Sorry to go a *little* off-topic. I don't really have an opinion on what to buy, but instead a tip on how to buy. The best advice I could ever give anyone with regard to car buying (or anything, except for maybe a house), is to never buy beyond basic, used stuff UNTIL you have cash. It should be as ...

Historically, Republicans have been more fiscally conservative (as well as conservative in general). Democrats now, however, are making the case that THEY are the more fiscally resonsible, pointing to two compelling pieces of data: 1. THEY balanced the budget under Clinton. 2. Bush not only blew the...

I have to admit that I haven't followed this battle at all, and don't know any of the details. I didn't even really mean to try to make SCO's case at all, just to point out that copyright law goes further than just copying source code. Let me relate an example that actually happened... I was close t...

On the surface, yes, it looks frivolous. However, in order to get away with producing and selling something that is that similar to copyrighted material, you need to be able to demonstrate a clean-room environment. You can't start with someone else's code, and then change it around enough so that it...

I think you have great taste, Ray. That's Linda Vester from Fox. This picture doesn't do justice to her. I'd say she's way hotter than the pic pertrays.
