Big BBC and Bloomberg fan.

This might just be the coolest car I have ever seen.

Right, I sure hope not, lol. I have to keep faith in what Tim Cook and Jony Ive say, and so far they have done everything to prove they are worth it. As of now I am just going with Beats by Dre was actually a good deal for what they got (spending foreign cash, Lovine, Dre, the streaming, and the headphones) and was also the most overblown/overcovered acquisition this year so far.

Fudge me, why did I even look at this. Soooooooo tempting.

Hellz yeah! Glad CR is making some cash off of this. My dollar cost average is right at $396 per share. I'm going to take most of my position out when it hits $700 ($100) and just stay in with some of my profits aka my free aapl stock lol. Now the hard part is finding another no brainer stock to replace it with.

Or at $400/share when I was telling everybody too.

I know when I sold Tundras after college (2004/2005) the main difficult point was that Toyota didn't offer nearly the discounts off MSRP that Chevy, Ford, and Dodge did. I would say the Tundra, however you optioned it out, was about $10-15K more than the equivelant domestic.

I guess I was the only one bored.

I was thinking the same thing as I looked through these pics. That flame throwing semi is awesome.

Well, I feel the same way about the entire war in Iraq, along with many other things presidents do. This seems to be a case of his priority was to get this last pow back before US troops leave at the end of this year. Obviously, I wouldn't have done it and it would be nice if Obama would say that he wanted to get the prisoner released and that he thought that the trade he made was worth it to get this guy back (of course it had to be this scumbag, worst of all us troops) and the people released wouldn't be able to harm the US (although this goes into the question of if we can hold people forever with no specific charges). Unfortunately telling things like they are isn't something you can do and be president. Also, my statement wasn't directed towards you.

Honestly buddy, this anger at Obama is really mainly a class of angry white people who long to "keep America, America" (my new favorite racist saying). They hate how the country is changing and blame president blackenstein when in reality it is starting to become more equal and the days of an uneducated/low skilled person being middle class just because they are white is over. Honestly, I used to try to actually exchange ideas with these people but there is no use at all. Republicans are fine in my book, I am friends with some and agree with some of their views while I disagree with others, the whole time understanding that we both love our country. The people you are talking to think you, me, and Obama hate America. Maybe it's because I'm not white but these Obama is a criminal, birther, etc... people come off as very salty and sad to me. Listening to them talk it reminds me about what Justice Stewart said, "I can't define porn, but I know it when I see it". They aren't specifically racist, but all of the "good ol' days" in America that they miss so much were really only good for white people. I've thought this for a while but haven't wanted to say anything because of the shitstorm I understand will follow.

Well, If you ever care enough to really educate yourself you will see the huge basic flaws in his thinking.

Since "money" can be defined I don't see it as something that is up for opinion. Now as far as what constitutes money, you are completely correct!

This guy has a fundamental misunderstanding of what money is.

As far as the negotiating with terrorists issue, I don't think you have to worry about that, at least not more than you should have before (maybe this is a case of ignorance was bliss, haha). First, the Taliban isn't technically a terrorist organization, it is a religious fundamentalist political group (and the ruling government in Afghanistan at the time of invasion), the US has been trying to get them more and more involved in the new Afghan government the past few years (yes, they did let Al Qieda (sp?) train/exist in their land but so do many other countries). So, if we did want this kid back, negotiating with them to do it isn't really breaking with any tradition we have had in the past. Now, as far as our history of negotiating/working with "terrorists" we actually have a pretty long one as a country. The main ones that come to mind as particularly relevant in our current period would be the supplying of weapons/training to Al Qieda to help them fight the Soviet Union and Iran Contra. Democrats said the same things Republicans are saying now as far as how the terrorist groups would respond by seeing kidnapping Americans as a good strategy but it obviously never happened. As far as the kid himself and what he did or didn't do to get kidnapped and the cost of his actions that's not something I know enough about to have an opinion on. What I would take from this is a pragmatic view. Yes, if you negotiate with terrorists and people know you will than you will become the victim more often. Fortunately Obama typically responds with Drone's and not negotiations so I don't think we have to worry about people thinking the US is not willing to kill their asses. However, if you do not negotiate at all then you resign yourself to either never ending conflicts, like we have now in a way in Afghanistan or you must completely defeat your opponent, something that we have not been able to do the past 13 years given the moral view of war in our society (we can't just carpet bomb Afghanistan and kill every living thing, lol). Since neither of these options is both good and possible it leaves us with negotiating.

When I read the title I thought we were talking about Iran Contra.

So very super cool, I am jelly.

Nice pickup. I believe this white is very similar to Cadillac White Diamond?

Good looking cars, I couldn't choose between the colors.

Welcome to the site.

Looks like a whole crap ton of fun!

Congrats, that blue is nice.

I've never really been a fan of BMW cars, but I love their bikes, very nice.

I can't wait until I can illegally download blueprints for FD parts and print them at the house.

Hot damn that's clean!
