  1. Still waiting for the rest of the story....
  2. Damn dude relax, you asked for opinions and people are giving them. You just need to expect to be critisized for it, especially when there are better options out there. Yes swap cars are cool and different but they cost ALOT of money and when they break they break good. You can have a dependable car, and a dependable drivetrain but neither will be dependable after you add the two together. I agree you can find a Fox for 3k, or an LSx for more money and dump the rest of the money into mods and probably have a faster/more reliable car AND it wont take 2 years to build. I have to ask the obvious, aren't you getting married? If so dont you think there are better, higher priority areas of your life that could use 14k?
  3. You know I thought the same thing but figured he was just excited about finally getting the car he's always wanted. I know the feeling driving my "beater" jetta everyday, its a great car, very nice and well built (so far) but just not what i want. Good for you in your new purchase, how much did you drive it home for?
  4. As i said, I really like this guy and his platform. Its that small little fact of deporting ALL illegal immigrants that I was undecided about. The only reason I dont like it is because there may be 30 million + illegal immigrant in the country, and yes most/all of them are a burden to our society in some way or another, but some of them do occupy jobs whether they be jobs no one else wants its irrelevant... their still jobs. lets say half of those people hold meaningful jobs, so your just gonna chuck 15million of america's workforce? Then again, I hate the idea of giving them citizenship simply because their here and its just easier that way. Guess Im just looking at the logistics of removing a big chunk of America's blue collar workers. EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwZsBiZYocg&mode=user&search=
  5. I thought the same and thats why i stayed far away form any candidate with an R next to his name. But then i read his views on govt spending and taxes: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/debt-and-taxes/ Of course this wouldnt be the first time a candidate has "lied" or bent the truth on his platform when campaigning.
  6. After Reading his platform I really like this guy. Here's what he said on the Patriot act: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/privacy-and-personal-liberty/ On Iraq and war in general: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/war-and-foreign-policy/ Imigration: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/border-security-and-immigration-reform/ Imigration is probalby the only concern I would have about his platform, while I dont illegal immigrants I do think they serve somewhat of a purpose in today's society. It sounds like what he is proposing is to not only close off our border's but deport all current illegal imigrants aswell.
  7. Everything I've seen, read, or heard about this guy I've liked. Especially his stance on the spreading of democracy. "we should spread democracy through good diplomacy, not with guns"-Ron Paul I thought he wouldn't make it this far but I've been hearing alot about him lately and he seem's like a really good candidate. Im sure there will be something about his platform I dont like but Im not going to agree with every candidate about everything. He did say something about creating a smaller Federal Government on John Stewart Show a few weeks ago, and getting rid of some government agencies. I would be afraid of the influx of unemployed federal workers if this happened but he didnt really get into specific's so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
  8. Thats great that you actually like your job, hell maybe your one of the few that works for a company that values their employee's but thats wasn't what was suggested in the original post, and even worse its simply not the status quo. He's not looking to find a "good job", he mentioned slinging burgers at a fast food joint, and I think we can all agree probably isnt the best working condition's and I highly doubt a huge corporation like McDonald's is gonna seak vigilante justice over one employee who decided he didnt want to work there anymore. I should point out that what you suggested, going to your former employee's work and telling them what a bad person he/she was, is illegal and could be construed as slander. But I do agree with you, i think people who seek/find jobs just to simply leave them after a short period are undependable and shouldn't have employment anyway. Its these types of people who wonder why they always end up on the unemployment line. But this particular case in point is different.
  9. I agree with you to a point. All companies will look out for their bottom dollar and their profit margin over everything else, no matter what. Though it's nothing personal, you just have to understand that going into it. So why is it so wrong that employee's do the same for themselves?

    Theif Hurt

    Paintballs hurt and all but why didnt you try and detain him? or at lesat beat the shit out of him? I know all the cops will say "no dont do that" but the dude was in the middle of robbing you, you obviously had him outnumbered.
  11. Dont forget their doing so without the "overhead" of actually paying athletes' salaries. They make rules banning monetary contribution's to players and their families but then turn around and sell the very product the player is giving them. Who benefits? Sounds like slave labor to me. In 10 years the NCAA will be just as profitable as any major league sport, all while not paying a single player what he is deserved.
  12. Ok first of all, its probably a good thing that your a failure when it comes to posting pics. Because had those pics showed up and they were less than work safe, you'd be an asshole. Always post NWS icon's when your throwing up pics, if their NWS pics just link them, its that easy. And Im just assuming, knowing what his sister looks like, what kind of pics these must be.

    Cleveland

    I know theres a nice hotel right across from Indian's stadium (whatever its called). Look at hotels.com they will have a large assortment to choose from and decent rates.
  14. thats the westerville community center. Its got a pool, gym and im sure some kinda daycare, unfortunatly in your condition i dont think it would be such a great idea. If you live in westerville you can call up there and see what they have going on.
  15. Hell no its not wrong, like Austin said, do what you gotta do. But i agree, find a pizza delivery job and work a few nights/days a week, then the less time you need cutback your hours. If they let you do it one night a weekthen if you need some more cash work a bit more. I have a second job but I only work saturday nights and its 'fun' so its hard to call it work.
  16. HAHAHAHA, driving a murdered out Pinto with chrome hubcaps... damn that was funny. I say go LSx, You said so yourself its the powerplant you know and you know how to work with why not stick with it. Your already going to be doing alot of Fab work as is why add in a new motor that you've never worked on before?
  17. I read your post 3 times and still have no idea what your talking about. Its safe to assume we've all seen transformer's so if you have a question just say so. Maybe its just me but your post doesnt make any sense.
  18. Columbus Monthly comes out with an annual issue about the top school districts/high schools in columbus. That might be a good reference for what your looking for. I graduated from Worthington Kilbourne in 02 and at the time the top three high schools were New Albany, Kilbourne and UA.
  19. I got the 'tape deck adapter', if you can call it that, before I drove to Florida last month. I had similar problem's, it sounds like crap. You have to turn the volume all the way up on you ipod and your radio to hear anything worth while and the quality still sucks. I didnt expect much for 19$ though and I really didnt want to bring all my cd's so to me it was worth it. Now it just sits in my glove box most of the time.
  20. Both my brother's have it, I dont. Its mostly related to being over-weight. Alot of NFL linemen have it also. My brother wears this "thing", for lack of a better term" on his nose that constantly push's moist air through his nose, it looks fuckin stupid but he says he sleeps better now than he ever did before.
  21. I had an 18 year old buddy in HS that passed b/c of a heart condition. He was in shape to, played alot of basketball and sports in general. Just like that, gone.
  22. HA I've done that once or twice, wake up hung over and still semi-drunk... get showered, dressed and ready to walk out the door then you realize you dont have to be at work for another hour... yup still drunk, im calling in sick. But I HATE having/taking a day off and not getting anything done, that just annoys me.
  23. Ha....Hey everyone lets phsycho-analyze this kids relationship for him. GREAT!
