  1. What has he done to deserve this? What has he acomplished? He was president for a whole 2 weeks before the deadline to be nominated for the prize? This is just another way the Obama nutswingers are promoting this man as being something hes not! White: he is amusing, i have to laugh at every speech the celebrity pres gives. He and his cabinets have not clue what they are doing. He should be winning an Oscar too for fooling the American public into believing he is something he's not. Also gald to see the Olympic board didn't follow suit and bow down to him and Oprah.
  2. what a joke just like the man in the oval office
  3. Outta the options you listed I'd say MI is the better, Stay away from Maronda! I had an MI home built when i first got married wasnt a bad home had some issues but for the most part a nice starter.
  4. Well now we know where the hate for OSHP comes from.......turned down were we?
  5. Going to Walmart is like going to the state fair, only the Finest in attendance.
  6. Opinions are like assholes.......... everyones got one. Who fucking cares what you think. If someone wants to spend $1K for something so be it, might not be your cup of tea just like some may think cruising around in a Subaru is Gay.
  7. Didn't realize i had to prove anything to anybody. This is just the kind of people they were. All politicians are pieces of shit and the one we have ruining our country now is no better. http://www.encyclomedia.com/mafia_john_f_kennedy.html http://people.howstuffworks.com/mafia9.htm http://www.greaterowego.com/communitypress/1997/12-97/KENNEDY.htm http://www.glennbeck.com/search/results.php?q=joe+kennedy&submit.x=22&submit.y=8
  8. History channel had a pretty interesting series a year or so ago on the rise of the family and how they made their money, how the old man (JOE) had ties with the mob, and ran business's outta town by ways of threats and muscle. How the Old man paid JFK's way into the whitehouse. The old man was the Biggest piece of work of them all, he was a womanizer, and a corrupt bully. JFK didn't fall far from the tree, not as bad as Joe but not the Camelot people were lead to believe. People are just blinded by the glamore that the media has painted for the public on this family. I'm sure they did a few good things, but for the most part they're Bullies, murder's, drunks, addicts, etc.
  9. Totally agree.........whether or not the S2000 was racing or not, that fact is someone WAS RACING might have been 2 trucks, might have been the truck and the S2000 might just have been a fucking brainless prick weaving through traffic and speeding. Whatever the cause someone died AGAIN FROM THE LACK OF FUCKING COMMON SENSE AND DUE REGARD TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. Why don't people understand this?
  10. I get sick and tired of hearing about how the Kennedy's are the closest thing we have to royality here in the US and how they we so damn great. If people would actually do alittle research on that family they'd realize that they were one of the most corrupt, cheating, womanizing people in this country. If they didn't have some much damn money to buy their way they'd all be in jail. Their misfortunes were just payback for the lives they lead.
  11. now he'll finally face judgement for what he did
  12. That dealer is 5 min away from me. It's off st rt. 158 just south of baltimore. Seems to always have nice vehicles.
  13. if your looking for cheap you can go to lowes or homedepot, or grossmans, menards
  14. Congrats Jay on your new Dodge, i mean government owned...........er wait.......Fiat owned.......nope shit I got this hold on.........uh. Oh Fuck it........who the hell owns Dodge now?
  15. Haven't been to brice road to cruise in years, it pretty much sucked then and i've heard it's worse now. Just a bunch of assholes out there. On the other side people say heath is where it's at now, might check it out someday.
  16. So be it........you use you lose
  17. It is the Mayors stance and they City's that they would rather pay OT than Hire more people......They have said it is cheaper to pay OT than the cost of training, outfitting, insurance cost etc for new employees. IS this Stupid? Hell Yes it is. As I stated above CFD is operating at 1987 levels we are set to loose another 200+ members by the end of next year These people HAVE TO GO NOT AN OPTION!. On average we loose 15-20 members through retirement each year, this # does not include members who have resigned for whatever reasons, passed away while still active (10+ in 3 yrs), or the idiots who decide to shoot their dogs and get fired (PLEASE DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT TURD). Just food for thought, in the last 5YRS we have hired 79 FF's 1 did not make it through the academy, 2 others resigned for other job's elsewhere. So 75 new hire's, now in that same time with FF deaths, retirement, Firing's, Resignations we have lost 100 +/-. Where the police was pumping out classes of 75 2 times/yr we're VERY lucky to get 25 every 1.5 yrs. Yes OT has gone up and will continue to go up because we don't have proper staffing for the size/people in Columbus. OT has also gone up due to the fact of increased arsons, structure fires,vehicle fires, having to bring in Medics, FF's, Bomb squad individuals to cover shift for members who are ill, injured, or who have vac etc. Again lack of personal and the increased incidents within the city. Sta 10 in the bottoms was averaging 3-4 working fires a day on some units the fist couple months of 09. That same sta had 20+ working fires in a 1 month time frame. 90% of structure fires occur after midnight so this requires an OT investigator (40 hr personnel). Each time some college kid thinks he's cool and sets a couch or a dumpster on fire on campus.......guess what! Investigator! I have been held over at work multiple times because we don't have enough manpower to staff a truck, sometimes it's 20min sometimes it's an hour before we can locate another FF in the city on duty who is extra and get them to another station to work so I can go home and they can staff the truck. Now i'm not saying people don't abuse the system, cause like any job theirs always that guy who try's to screw their employer on OT. But for the most part the OT is a necessary problem. We have to abide by NFPA staffing levels on equiptment. If the Levy didn't pass, not only would OT go up, but then to help offset the OT and loss of members, Equiptment, Stations would begin to dissapear. And let me tell you this if we lose it the city ain't giving it back. So the long term affects would be very bad. Does OT need to be reduced? YES, the only way to do this is more people on the streets! And Coleman dosen't understand this! He dosen't care! The only way to get us back on track in this city is to vote someone else in office! But then again.......all politicians are worthless IMO.
  18. Not to be a ass here but you actually don't see the need for more COPS? Seriously... Most of the Officers at Goodguys are their for a reason (requested by OHP, fairground consultants etc. working special duty paid for by Goodguys, and it's sponsers). And you have a problem with cops pulling over or giving tickets to people who acting like complete ass's who happen to be drunk in public or under the influence while driving? And you also have a problem with cops because they have a vehicle pulled over for speeding or driving with a total lack of due regard towards others on the road? Wow your bright. I wish it was done more!........if people wouldn't be complete F-ing morons and make better decisions then, some people would actually live to see the next day! And Cops wouldn't have to enforce "Harass" as you say the LAWS! Tell ya what man.....how bout you walk yourself on down to the Bottoms, near eastside, or Cleveland ave precinct's about 10pm and ask for acouple "pansy ass pigs" and explain to them how you feel about them and see if you can do a ride along for a night! In in the mean time while your pissing your fucking pants hiding in the car crying for your mom to come pick you up, maybe you can take a moment to reflect what these "pansy ass pigs" do for you and your family everynight of the week.
  19. Actually It's been 27 yrs since the last tax........1982
  20. I understand why people didn't want this tax to pass........Coleman is a joke and so is most of city hall. They spend money with no fiscial responsibility, he's gotten away with it to too damn long. The Real crime is the people who voted for him in the first place! The same people that put Strickland and Obama in office! Now as far as people citing public safety layoffs were a scare tactic.........I can tell you first hand these were NOT scare tactics. We were preparing for the worst. Closing House's, Browning out companies and taking companies out of service were a reality! From a FF stand point we were already trying to get our members set up with jobs else where (not as easy for us as the Police). We are understaffed as it is (staffing is lower than levels in 1987 and city has grown in population and square miles), Layoffs would've been a disaster for the dept. with less people ENGINES,MEDICS, LADDERS ETC WOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE. What this means is......LONGER RESPONSE TIMES, CARDIAC SAVE RATES WOULD DROP (CFD has one of the highest survival rates in the country, twice the national avg.) So that convience of that Medic right down the road who can be on scene in about 4 min from time of call will now take 8-10-12 mins? comming from the next closest station. I know alot of people feel the threats to PS were bullshit and would never happen, go ask a FF or Cop with up to 9 yrs on the job how much of it was BS! I also agree that not being able to vote for this if you work in the city but don't live in the city is BS. I too work in the city, but live outside the city. I still have to pay the tax as well, hopefully it helps out come tax time? Did I or fellow FF's/Cops want to pay more and ask the people of Columbus for more money in a time like this? Hell No! Did we want to support Coleman? Hell NO! WE DID NOT SUPPORT COLEMAN........WHAT WE DID DO IS PROTECT JOBS AND THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS OF COLUMBUS.........OUR JOB. So the most important aspect of this issue passing is the people of Columbus will still have it's Public Safety forces intact to protect and serve not only Columbus but surrounding communities.
  21. Oh I know where it is, just stating their pizza is tasteless. Never knew they had get togethers there though.
  22. Must be talking about another Kingy's.........
