  1. I saw this pop up and though my god that need to be a sticky. I hope people see it. Props Ben
  2. Ben just so you know I tried not to make a debat in your thread but you made me. I tried to have it taken care of but we were too late. We can still be saved!!! This thread can still be saved though before the evening Rush.
  3. I see what you are saying I should have made that more clear. Im sure you know the government regulates health care provided by private companies. If you give all the control to the private company then who regulates them? And then you may have what you are saying Ben. If a private company is more concerned with there profit who do they help first and when do you get helped? As a small business owner myself I could relate to that example. I look at two jobs in front of me at the same time and ask myself which should I do first. For the money in my pants side of it I chose the small faster one. And that larger one may sit for a while, in the mean time I have done 3 other jobs that were small and the larger one is only a 1/4 of the way finished.
  4. My main point to the statement made is this year there is not really anyone good for the Republican party. Do the research its all there. As a Repulican I am just not happy about this coming election. This wasnt meant to be a Paul Bash. I could write whole articles on why each canidate in bad for this country. Its not just about the war. As we all know Canidate find a hot topic and make America believe. Damn it I should be working right now.
  5. LOL yeah untill I saw Bens question of why not? Then I thought well what the hell its just my good friend Ben.
  6. Damn it. Never mind Ben... Not you stillman While I respect Ron Paul for speaking truthfully about the war in Iraq I do not think that his stances on other issues are right for America. I respectfully disagree with the tenants of Libertarianism. I think that Ron Paul truly believes that Libertarianism is right for America and that he's doing the right thing. This puts him in stark contrast with most politicians who just say whatever they think needs to be said to get a vote today. He has integrity. Ron Paul is NOT for universal health care. As a Libertarian he would never support the government's involvement in health care. This is unfortunate because it's clear to me that something as basic as health care should be the realm of the government just as firemen and policemen are. Would we want a private company policing our streets? no of course not. So why do we place something as basic and important as our health in the hands of businessmen who have nothing but their profits in mind? Ron Paul does not support the right of women to make their own choice about whether or not to have an abortion. He believes each state should have the ability to make their own law regarding abortion. If the states were to make their own abortion laws this would inevitable lead to most southern states making abortion illegal. This would bring us back to the dark ages before Roe. Why should a woman have the freedom of choice in New York but not in Georgia? All women in America deserve the right to make their own choices about their bodies. To me this should be considered a basic civil liberty that is protected at the federal level. That being said I am not willing to not support Ron Paul just because of the abortion issue. As voters we are too easily controlled by these sorts of hot button topics. Paul believes that the US Department of Education should be abolished. He thinks that all education decisions should be left up to the states, local governments, and personal decision. While this may seem like a reasonable position, in reality it will stretch the divide between the rich and the poor even further. Every child in America should have the right to a good education. I believe education should become more federalized not less so. Why? Because right now children in rich districts (those with rich families) get a good education while those in poor districts (those with poor families) get a poor education. There must be more equality of opportunity in this country. All children whether poor or rich deserve a quality education. This is not only a matter of fairness to all Americans but a matter of national prosperity. Libertarians such as Ron Paul believe in a free market to the highest degree. This means little if any governmental oversight. This means that big businesses would have even more power if Ron Paul had his way. Big business must have governmental oversight or they will absolutely trash our environment. While I agree with his non interventionist policy militarily the last thing America needs is to make more enemies internationally. The United Nations has done a lot of good for the world and we should be a positive part of that. Ron Paul wants America to pull out of the UN.
  7. Nice Ben If Pauls wins were not in as great shape as everyone thinks.
  8. Now your just hating. Made out of glass. Come on now. My 10 Bolt has taken one hell of a beating. And yes F-Body LT1 Auto's were 13 second cars
  9. thats what i was thinking when i read that. outside storage of a motorcycle?
  10. I feel the same way. They are just another person. When someone sister on here gets pregnant and they are sixteen you wont see them putting that on here. Shes pregnant because she learned from her sister. She had a bad example.
  11. Take it to Fowlers and talk to Chris
  12. Oh I thought this may have been B.C. Might have to stop up.
  13. The post office is against tipping your mail carrier. They're not supposed to accept it.
  14. Bringing this back up. Ben I asked what you were doing today because of this. The gun is a 1938 Arisaka Type 38 6.5 Cal. 5 Round Its not a "last-ditch" like said. And its not a carbine. Its a long rifle. If the end of the bolt has the pattern like you stated then its an earlier design. I showed Dale the 4 original pictures that you had up and he knew right off. The gun was manufactured by Pietro Beretta Firm in Italy for the Japs. Gun should measure 49.75 inches. The Arisaka Type 38 rifle was influenced by Mauser design. There were more then 3 million produced. He said you could get a couple hundred out of it tops. If the gun still had the whachamacallit on the action he said you could get about 3 grand out of it. I am meeting Dale to go to the gun show at Westland on the 30th if you want to go. He knows practically everyone there so we can get the hook up.
  15. It doesnt matter if a Reputable shop installs it or some guy off the street. I have seen a lot of systems fail. I used to install them myself, I got out of them all together. When 3 different systems on 3 of my vehicles went to shit. All were remote start systems. One drained the battery constantly. The other engaged the started when the car was in the ON position. And the other just plain went to shit. Now this wasnt all in a month or anything but over the coarse of a year and a half they all went. They were all install the previous year at different times. Its not as hard as these guys are making it out to be. It pretty damn simple actually. When you get it, it will have a sheet of vehicles and what wire is what. Ive seen a lot done numerically. EX. #1 wire goes to Red at Column #2 wire goes to Yellow at Column. So on so on. Its easy.
  16. A lot over priced and I dont even know the car.
  17. +2 I had to go back and look. I have passed this thread for day thinking I dont need another one. Then finally I was like ahh what the hell Ill see if he still has it.
