deafdyke, just a heads-up but your first link gives me a 404.

Ugh. The last thing the military wants is draftees.

Funny that you blame Clinton for everything. He's your favorite scapegoat. Didn't you know that we started cutting back on military spending during H.W. Bush's administration at the behest of one Donald Rumsfeld? Yeah, that's a fact, jack. Time to learn some history before you go...

Maybe all these hurricanes will start discouraging people from moving to Florida. It is too perfect of a target!

Natural gas burns far too hot to be used in a car without modifying engines to have a better cooling system, which puts extra weight on the car. Personally I believe the future is in engine research. Check this out: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/quasiturbine.htm

But you do tell them to "keep the change" after paying your bill. How is this not "tipping?"

They don't need to, unless they want to communicate to deaf people using ASL. It really is that simple. I wear HAs and don't use ASL -- I don't need to. Therefore, it has nothing to do with CIs except with those that make it an issue.

Don't blame guns. Plenty of people in the U.S. own guns and would never dream of shooting others.

I always wondered why so many homes in Florida are so cheaply built. You'd think that updating building code would prevent a lot of the structural damage to homes, which is the costliest sort of damage. My grandfather's condo was built of cinder block and the windows reinforced with...

Dear Steve, Please shut up. You're giving me a headache.

Define "bad boy." All of you have different ideas of what a "bad boy" is.

The problem with hydrogen is that there isn't enough of it found naturally in nature to meet our consumption levels, therefore it must be extracted from water by splitting atoms to isolate hydrogen atoms. To do this requires enormous amounts of energy to split the atoms and then keep the...

It's not just the fact that there was oil in Texas & Oklahoma. There's a reason we continue to buy crude oil from OPEC countries for refinement. And that is: Gasoline does not take up a lot of space, but releases enormous amounts of energy upon combustion.

I like Reba's advice the best -- it's sensible & straightforward. Voice of wisdom, she is! Once a cheater, always a cheater. So true. Ask yourself: Did he cheat on someone to be with you?

That's just the quandary, the parent is faced with that choice at 18 mos. old. At 18 mos., the child is obviously not cognizant enough to tell the parent "lets wait." Fuzzy described the dilemma perfectly in the above post. You know, I can understand that, but once it's in and on, it...

Higa, thanks for sharing your story. That was really well-written and more informative than some of the other info. here. Ellie, how many hours of ST does your son participate in each week?

I wouldn't call him a Republican, nor a bible-thumping neocon, Cady. He's all over the place.

Battery powered cars are worse for the environment than combustion engines. Let's ask ourselves some questions. Where does the electricity to charge the car come from? - Power plants. What do power plants use to generate their power? - Gas, oil, coal, nuclear fuel, water, wind...

Even so, I think the parent/guardian has a right to do whatever the heck they want with an 18 month old child that isn't even cognizant. Only the parent/guardian has the capability to educate themselves about the available options @ 18 mos., which is the time frame originally discussed before...
