  1. While you're at it, please make it legal for me to drive my Jeep through the center median and over sidewalks when traffic is stopped. kthanksbye!
  2. She is an "example", and because you're an American. If you don't like it, move your ass to China or North Korea.
  3. I'm Irish. To me, it's e, not a.
  4. Your grammer, wow. Do you ever read what you type? It's almost painful!
  5. Fuck kicking a mirror...shoot them (claim they where trying to kill you with their car/truck)...
  6. Electrocution, sushi. Lot's of sushi. Voltage. Done.
  7. You can't compare the little bit of true Autobahn left plus the training the drivers over there have to go through, to the dumbasses that drive in our country. Hell, even that road was designed for high speed, unlike our roads... Keep trying...
  8. Wow...that's about the dumbest statement I've ever read... How about this. Imagine a society with laws and law enforcement. Imagine no retribution for killing someone, imagine no speed limits on the roads. I don't know about you, but that's not a world I want to live in... I've had a few run ins with the law, included being incarcerated twice, and I've never met an LEO that wasn't 100% professional. For what they do, what they risk, and what they get payed...i'm surprised anyone would do the job...
  9. He's in doggie heaven now...and you two will meet again someday... Sorry for your loss, sir.
  10. The subsidy isn't to keep the company from failing...not even a little bit. The subsidy was to make that particular line more efficient, by being able to haul double stack containers...thus one train could now haul what used to take two trains...now using less fuel, creating less pollution, taking less crews, less track congestion, and the ability to get your Chinese goods to Walmart faster. The railroads are booming, and with fuel prices getting more expensive everyday...it's only going to get better for us. Look at it this way... Look at the amount of rail that is covered just in the state of Ohio, and look what you the tax payer(Ohio) paid, less that one million dollars. The amount of trucks we take off the road every day due to being able to efficiently run these trains, and the subsequent less traffic on the public roads making them safer and help keeping them in better shape longer, more than makes up for that million dollars. I see it as an investment. Also, realize the source of the article, and that it's the sole opinion of the writer, and may not show all the facts of how or why the subsidy was given. The word subsidy was given a bad name due to the auto bailouts...but this is not even close to the same kind of situation.
  11. Guys, ignore ped... He's a troll, and we're just feeding him. I'm done responding to his posts. He's already proven himself stupid, and you can't fix stupid...
  12. How many times does your Roush say Roush on it? Are thou going for a Roush record?
  13. Scooters are fucking gay. Kidding (kinda) Welcome to OR!
  14. OP, you need a hug and someone to talk to...fast, and i'm serious...
  15. Lol...ya, you don't count... Speaking of you...I heard something a while ago about you that disappointed me, but I'll not about it here. Call me sometime.
  16. Furthermore, just strictly speaking of unions...specifically, railroad unions... There is a reason that the BLET (Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen) is the oldest still operating union in the United States. It is needed! Trust me, I'd love to work for a company where I didn't have to have union protection, but seeing how I have to carry "job insurance", the union I belong to is a necessity. Do any of you carry job insurance?
  17. All this, and then some. If you don't, didn't, or don't personally know someone who works on the railroad, you have ZERO comprehension of our work conditions, and the BS we face everyday. Now, you may ask...why do you keep on working if it's so bad...? Two things: Money, #1. Retirement, #2.
  18. The "railroad" is subsidized...the retirement is not. This potential bill is about retirement, and that's it.
  19. I'm not going to sit here and type away on my computer to try and convince you that you've really got the wrong idea as to what this topic is about, but what I will do is invite you to one of our local union meetings where we can sit down and discuss any questions/concerns you may have. You might have a different outlook on this if you really understood it. PM me if you're interested.
