im in this school of thought on the subject i guess. i mean its such a personal thing though. if you have a real deep need to find your biological parents, then by all means, follow your heart. but at the same time, IMO family is more about who is there for you when it counts than it is about blood. my best friend that i grew up with is as much a son to my parents as i am. i have two sisters who i rarely speak to. nothing personal against them, they just were not around when i was growing up, and they arent around now either lol. i did see them last year though... my point being that there are people totally unrelated to me by blood that i would consider more "family" than my actual sisters. i wouldnt think its fair for anyone to say you dont have parents. you do. they may not be blood, but they have and will be there for you when you need it the most.

lol i only read to the post i quoted when i replied. funny that you said this but please, do what the coin says. do not go against its wisdom. it would be a grave mistake.

IMO flip a coin to decide which direction to head out of town and just start going that way. let the road take you where it wants.

tru dat

in saudi arabia its illegal for a woman to drive. and people here say they are a backwards country

whenever is cool with me. i was gonna get off here and play prototype for a little bit. just add me, and we will figure it out. ill be on tonight for sure.

its funny you posted about this. it was on HBO a few nights ago and i watched it. the only other time i saw it was when it first came out with my gf at the time. we used to go to the movies all the freakin time. i cant remember the last movie ive seen in a theater now though. i think it was dark knight? im going to break the streak this week though and go see harry potter.

has anyone played prototype? i picked it up last night. its pretty bad ass so far. i also got tiger woods 10, so if anyone wants to feel good about themselves by whipping my ass (i really suck) hit me up on xbox live cptn janks is the name

where ever the fuck i want! srsly tho i just park out of the way on the sidewalk. just dont block the walk or a door and no one will have any room to bitch.

that shit is so hot when sarah michelle gellar and selma blair are making out. also: sometimes when I'm feeling down, I turn to Jesus and he helps me through it.

honestly it does kind of piss me off when im in the cage and a bike gets right up on my ass. i dont stare at them and try to fight them though. i just slow down to give more room for me to stop and let them go around. not saying you were right up on his shit or whatever, i know you said you were not THAT close. hell, it pisses me off when ANYONE gets right up on my shit. bike, car van or whatever. you're supposed to have at LEAST 2 seconds between you and the vehicle in front of you

my dad can look up willshegag.com and thats about it.

rule number one on the craigslist scam page DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 99% of the scam attempts on craigslist. do it. if you cant meet them face to face, tell them to go pound sand

can you adjust the throttle plates? i.e. synch the carbs? id think you could get a carb kit with all new seals and gaskets too for less than the cost of new carbs?

next time use a proxy. preferably one based in bulgaria or something where they will never reach it

also, if she does take part in the next round of 2A cases, its not really clear what difference she will make. she is replacing souter who dissented in heller. if the same 5 who made up the heller majority ruled that it does reach below the federal government her vote would probably not be decisive.

thats maloney v cuomo right? where the 3 judge panel ruled that the prior SC precedent (from presser in 1886)that the Amendment only applied at the federal level is still binding law. interestingly enough the 9th just ruled that the second DOES apply to state and local governments. these circuit splits will usually result in the case going to the top. if maloney makes it to the SC, she would have to take herself out of consideration on that case, due to her previous ruling on it.

didnt she say during her hearing that she believes that 2A is an individual right?

so wait, how did they know who you were in the first place to contact you?

yeah, its a complex situation (as are most things in life) and there really is no black and white answer. when someone sets off some bombs, and then you agree to bring them to the table, you have a) set a precedent that violence will get you what you want and b) you give legitimacy to their organization. it can undermine all the work that has been done to accomplish a "peaceful" resolution. on the other hand (and it really does depend on the group you are dealing with) many of these groups did not start out violent, but turned that way after they felt that they were not being dealt with fairly in the political process or when they see violence as another option to further their cause. for groups like this, bringing them to the table could be beneficial. just as an example, the IRA. In the 80s, they realized that their campaign no longer furthered their goals, and they began to explore alternatives. they did not abandon their goal of a united ireland, just changed how they were trying to do it. the other part is if the leaders can actually control the rank and file or not. the IRA was much more of a structured organization than, say al-qaeda, where their "leaders" dont really control every little detail of every operation. they are more of a network of like minded people than a structured organization. the IRA's counterpart, the UDF had this problem. the leaders would agree to something, but they couldnt really control the members. the other thing is that, while governments will SAY "we wont negotiate with terrorists", in practice, they DO. the brits maintained secret contact with the IRA, even after they launched a mortar attack on downing street. spain sat down with ETA after they blew up a grocery store. even israel secretly negotiated with the PLO (oslo accords). hell, even the USA will negotiate with terrorists in secret. carter and reagan negotiated with the iranians during the hostage crisis. also, iran-contra. one could maybe argue noriega as well... additionally, the US army has worked very closely with the MeK as well, which is on the list of terrorist organizations. any american found giving support to a group on the list is guilty of a crime, yet the US army would escort MeK members to and from their camp. i guess the hardest part of the entire situation is answering the question "what defines a terrorist". its such a broad and all-encompassing term, and its so politically charged too. edward peck wrote:
