Saw that this morning. I was looking forward to watching the showdown tonight.

Your employer wouldn't punish you for repeatedly publicly making an ass out of yourself? Most jobs expect their employees to conduct themselves in a certain manner. It's not "facist", it's simply common sense.

So a semi-automatic 9mm or .223 is overkill just because it looks scary, but a shotgun that could punch a fist sized hole through somebody is an appropriate response to an intruder? Personally I love having my Mossberg Persuader shotgun as my main home protection gun, but certainly not because it isn't "overkill". I have an AR-15 too there is no question which gun will do more damage within 20 yards. (it's not the scary looking one). Other than being much more accurate, reliable and easy to conceal, a common 9mm pistol is really no different than an uzi or tec 9 since NY already has laws banning magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds and automatic weapons (very few exceptions).

Very off topic, but I always get a kick out of the bikes with the "loud pipes save lives" sticker and the rider wearing the absolute minimum legal protection helmet, shorts and no sleeves. I'm sure those obnoxious pipes are because you are a safety nut.

From the little bit of info I could gather from the articles, it sounds like the cyclists were following at an unsafe distance if they were unable to stop in time to avoid the vehicle in front of them. I always thought that the vehicle that rear ended (giggity) another was always at fault?

Just tell the border cop that it is a military dog and it's deserting. They will treat your dog like a hero.

My Dad will sometimes only get the aura. As he got older the headache wouldn't always follow. It's pretty scary stuff if you don't know what is going on.

Your "migraines" must not have been as bad as what most people experience. Questioning someone's toughness for not being able to work while suffering from a migraine makes you look like a real jackass. I gaurantee you would not "suck it up" and go to work if you had a migraine similair to the ones that I and some of the other posters have experienced.

Many people cannot function when they get a migraine (myself included). I can't see for a half hour prior to the migraine due to the aura effect that is kind of like a big blob of tv static. It is extremely painfull and can cause hypersensitivity to light and sound. I've even had times when it caused my arm or leg to go numb. (thought I was having a stroke) You have obviously never had one.

I speak French, in flawless Russian.

And the fact that you are cool with someone acting like an ass to a cop that is innitially being very professional, resisting arrest, deciding that they should be able to get in their car and leave after being told thay are under arrest and collecting $40,000 of taxpayer money says all I need to know about you.

That seems to be the Cadilac of filters. I just bought this one for $70. http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/water-treatm...ofilter/product

That is some serious preparation! It would be great to live off the grid, but from the little bit I have seen about it, the cost is outrageous to get started and you need to make some pretty big lifestyle changes to survive with the amount of electricity you can realistically produce. It would be nice to get a utility bill that read $0 though!

I have read a couple good survival books. Les Stroud (Survivorman) wrote an interesting survival book. http://www.amazon.com/Survive-Essential-Sk...e/dp/0061373516

What happened to wholesome family shows like "Ouch My Balls"

The Neanderthal vs modern man topic got me thinking...Could the average person today survive without electricity, clean tap water and the local Wegmans? I try to be prepared for a disaster, but certainly don't have a bunker and tinfoil hat ready to go. How long before panick and mass looting takes place? How long until people start starving or dying from drinking unclean water? I have a generator, portable water filter, a small supply of canned or dehydrated food, guns for hunting and/or protection and a little bit of hunting and outdoor experience. Along with all the cold weather gear and camping supplies, I would probably have a decent chance of surviving a while. I know most of my friends wouldn't have a clue how to kill and prepare wild game or search out edible plants and once their lighters ran out of fuel, starting a fire to boil water would become nearly impossible. Most people probably don't think we will ever have to worry about things like this, but how far fetched is a huge power outage? Weren't some people without power for weeks after the big snowstorm in Buffalo a couple years ago? With the success of shows like Survivorman, Man Vs Wild, and The Colony, it seems like people are a little more interested in being prepared.

I agree that modern man is certainly not inferior overall compared to a Neanderthal, but most people would never be able to survive without modern conveniences let alone find their own food. If the electricity went out in this country for a month we would see huge amounts of deaths and people woud be starving. Most people think I am nuts when I talk about preparing for an emergency that would require me to live without a food store, clean tap water, or electricity.

Please tell me what I can do to improve your impression of me....Seriously, I'm crushed right now.

Looks like she got a $40,000 settlement. Moral to this story...Disrespect and disobey the cops long enough to force them to physically arrest you and wait for the taxpayer cash to roll in. Of course it helps if you can pull the "little old lady" card when your horrible behavior gets you in trouble.

How about the guillotine that was passed off as a paper cutter! Those things could chop off an arm. http://www.papercutterstore.com/cart/large...sp?image_id=655

Somewhere a group of politicians are laughing and fist bumping each other.

Those of you who feel insurance companies should be forced to accept everyone regardless of pre-existing conditions should start an insurance company that accepts people with pre-existing conditions. See how long before you are in debt up to your ears and out of business. Does anyone understand that insurance is a business not a charity? They cannot pay for the care of their clients who get sick AFTER purchasing a policy if they are forced to accept every client that wals in the door. If you feel that people with pre-existing conditions should receive free health care, that's fine. By directing your anger at a business that has to make money to provide service to the millions of clients it serves, you are showing your lack of understanding of the concept of insurance. I also see two different issues being discussed. Dropping people from coverage who get sick is entirely different than refusing to accept new customers that are already sick. There are many issues that need to be fixed in the health car industry, but forcing insurance companies to lose money is not the way to solve the problem. I must give the government credit though, they have come up with a perfect strategy to take over the healthcare industry by convincing the ignorant masses that the enemy is the "greedy" insurance company.

I wonder if Whoopie would consent to being "not rape raped" (drugged and sodomized) in order to prove her point that he doesn't deserve to be prosecuted. The only problem would be finding a blind, deaf, incredibly desperate man to agree to the experiment.

I do not have any problem at all with Owens not talking to the media. As a matter of fact I prefer it. Don't pretend to defend my "right as a paying fan" to hear Owens speak. Tony Dungy lost what little bit of credibility he had when he defended Michael Vick. Maybe if Owens tortured and killed a puppy on the podium Dungy would be more supportive.
