DDoS would do that, but if they get enough info to dox the terrorists, that would help. Or cut off some funding sources, no? 'Social media' has me envisioning the terrorists on Facebook & Twitter, lol. o_O

If they say no and have the usual expectation of someone else picking up the tab, they might be planning to build/renovate a major league team facility. :rolleyes:

Every one of us has some anecdotal stories like that [some more than others], we all see it, nobody thinks it doesn't happen. And we all know someone who is ripping off the system, faking disability, whatever, and we have nothing but contempt for them, because we work for what we have, and...

Yep, the 'whipping boy' of the trucking world has changed from JB Hunt to Swift, and the mnemonics for SWIFT are pretty amusing. [My own: S#%*! - will insurance fix that?] My favorite is the sign that warns of unsafe road for tractor trailers, and says "Swift, this means you!" :D

Thanks, everyone, it was pretty cool! Well, it was actually warm instead, [in Alabama], but I did have cake: I made fruitcake in muffin cups. My sister said that's weird, but I say: if you think outside the loaf pan, every day is fun, lol. :D

What makes you think it's gone? Do you suppose the person paying for food with food stamps doesn't see people scrutinizing their choices, judging what they shouldn't be able to have? Do you think Mom is proud to tell her 5 year old that he can't have a birthday party, or even go to a friend's...

That's funny. If you sold a gun to a friend, how could you know !00% that they have no disqualifying history? That they weren't dishonorably discharged, or diagnosed or treated for mental illness, or are a dug abuser? The answer is you don't. You can't. As I pointed out already, if we really...

I would agree: assimilate, or don't move here. But I think many immigrants feel singled out, [esp Middle Eastern and Muslim] for suspicion of wrongdoing. The line between welcoming and appeasing can be pretty thin - it's hard to know how far to go sometimes. That reminds me of my thoughts...

OTOH, we have Americans reporting suspicious activity at the drop of a hat, like the woman who reported it on a Spirit air flight about to take off, so the Captain taxied back to the terminal while it got sorted out. After 3 [Middle Eastern] people were removed from the plane, it turns out the...

They don't 'need' to be here, specifically, they just need to be away from the violence and war and death. As who wouldn't? The problem with setting up 'safe zones over there' is maybe mostly one of credibility, as in we have very little of it in the Middle East. Had little before we bombed...

Either you didn't bother reading Snopes' appraisal of the comments attributed to HRC, or you accept anonymous "sources" as 100% believable. Almost none of the comments can be proven as fact - they're just something somebody said.

I just can't - if I embraced stupidity, it would qualify as assault in legal terminology, lol. ;)

Yes. Because I don't need a passport, except for this. I have no idea what 'N/A' is, but it just cost me $55.00, lol.:mad:

This is a great example of the petty attitude that saves a few bucks, but costs good people. Plenty of loads offered involve tolls that one doesn't know about upfront, as in Florida, Oklahoma, even Texas, so how can a driver negotiate for them? It's not like there's time to check the route...

It's not always about the $, sometimes, HOS makes the call. For example: running 20 from Detroit to Cleveland is free, but it takes a lot longer. [And you better not exceed the speed limit, because the people living in the many small Ohio towns don't like the trucks going through, so the cops...

Except when someone [like Cruz] decides he'd rather shut the government down [sending it into default] than negotiate across the aisle, it's not so funny anymore.

The birth certificate has a different name on it, which is the new rule: different names must be explained via documents for each change. In this case, that documentation spans decades [and 4 different states!]. To add insult to injury, this is not a first time application, it's a renewal: I've...

The census reports don't offer anything but numbers - they can't tell us a single thing about the people behind the numbers: their history or their "suffering". Which is why the myths continue, because no one bothers to look at the people, they just make assumptions. As in the assumption that...

Please provide specifics about this law: what does it require, and how is it enforced? The mention of child [sexual] abuse was not a distraction - it was an illustration of how little we know of people who have something to hide. That makes a travesty of any law that allows selling weapons to...

PS to Xiggi: the person you called irresponsible is one who has been working full time since age 16, and has never collected government benefits beyond a couple 3 week stretches of unemployment during annual layoffs. When the factory closed it's doors, I found a job to cover the year I had to...
