  1. BKT...have you had your water well tested for lead lately? HH Good question.
  2. I personally have no idea what if anything the GOP offered to the bill. All I do know is that I have 2 friends with small businesses (Restaurants) that had or will have to fire people to comply with the law and stay in business.
  3. You've been in BKK too long. (Lucky duck!) A child would have to buy or be given the car and drive it to have to buy insurance. If I take the tag off my car and turn it in (Called "de-registering) I do not have to have insurance. With the health car law, you have to have insurance no matter what you do. There is no exception.
  4. A child the age of 2 has no requirement at all to buy car insurance from anyone. A child the age of two has a legal requirement to buy health insurance from a private company.
  5. Actually next to nothing does. As to your example' date=' you have to own or drive a car to "have" to have ins., so there are millions of people that are exempt from it. [b']With the new health care law.... you just have to be alive to have to buy insurance.[/b] Exactly the same thing. If you have a car, you must buy insurance. If you get sick, then you must buy insurance. Nope. Before you at least had a choice... Now, you have to buy insurance if you at all draw breath. This is the only and first law that makes you pay for something for the simple fact that you are alive and if you dont, makes you a criminal. As was said in a recent ruling.... "Never before has Congress required that everyone buy a product from a private company for the simple fact of being alive."

  7. Nope. None of it was "virtually impossible." Re read your Sun Tsu. No one was even looking for an attack like that. That makes it very likely
  8. No. You have been watching too many movies. No. If you believe this you have never worked for a large company as a junior guy. Again, you are watching too many movies and projecting that to the real world. The problem was the focus of the FBI was on other things. Nope. Naaaaa.... Mathematically?? Huh? Please show me this math. Absolutely it could happen. Everything that does happen... could. (And a lot that just has not... can.)
  9. A few points: Who ever you were speaking to apparently knows next to nothing about the US System, but that is not surprising, and got most of that from movies. The CIA reports to congress, specifically to the Committee on Intelligence and since 2004 the DNI. It is not true that they answer to "just one man." In fact, nothing in the US does that except for maybe some small companies. Even the president answers to the people as is evidenced by the one term presidents we have had and the extreme 180s of power we have now seen twice in the past 3 years. Does the CIA fuck up? Hell yes. But everyone does that. The Dept. of Education and the Public Parks people screw up all the time, the difference if the expectation. It is just not fair to expect perfection esp in this area. Add to that that the group can not even announce a success, and anyone would look very very bad in public light. The US MIlitary has mistakenly killed more people in the past 10 years than the CIA ever has in its history. But many of you that have been in the military know that yes.... we fuck up. It is almost never the intention. Things just fuck up sometimes and we try to learn and go forward. And when malice is shown, there is a huge investigation that convicts way more people than it ever lets go free. Again, this happens in CIA too... you just dont hear about it. (Take any of us, only talk about the bad things you have done and none of the good and our neighbors would hang you from a light poll.) I know about 20 serious and former serious players in this area. I know of 4 that have been ruined (Jail, financial penalties, cant get a job except at McDs) and deservedly so for over stepping their bounds. But again, the problem is that you still cant talk about it because that puts other operations and methods at risk. I disagree. The system really broke about 1990 and 9/11 was the result. The system did not break on 9/11 because if it had worked before that... 9/11 would not have happened.
  10. Funny thing, he was acquitted of that!
  11. "Testified" means to give evidence in court, under oath. Bill did not do that. You're kidding right?
  12. I dont think Ron ever actually testified. Has any president? The way I look at it is, delay them coming home a few hours or a few months for what? Ron in office? No way. Ron was unpredictable and willing to blast you cowboy style and let everyone know it. Carter they could trust to do as little as possible. That's another counter, Iran had more to GAIN with Carter than with Ron.
  13. I never said there was / were any in 2003 and after. I just said our sensors keep detecting traces of it. In some areas we had to take the batteries out to get them to shut up. But I did say, and can show you photos of buried jets. So I would not be around when they dig the foundation to your summer house in Al Abnar!
  14. I lean toward the Hostage thing being a non starter for one very good reason. There was tooooooo much to be gained by the Dems bringing it out in the 1984 election. If it had been true, they would have done it and Mondale would have whooped ass!
  15. I'll get back to the hostage thing. For WMD in Iraq, they for sure did have them. We have a few burned out northern villages as proof. Did they have them any more in 2003? Not sure. I say that because our sniffing machines went of constantly in some places and never in others. So there was something there at some point in the recent (as in a year or two before the invasion) past. Saddam buried fully working Mig's in the sand. No telling what else might be out there.
  16. Nothing. You think their bosses like him much more than they do?
  17. More government workers live in tents than there are prisoners in Az.
  18. Yea, it was them. As much as I loved it when they did it.... a look at their highway death rate and DUI death rate was an astounding cost for ...that freedom.
  19. It would be like an email trail. There are too many topics to put them all in one place and keep it all straight. But I find it funny in an LOS forum, USA threads would dominate enough to warrant this type of request. Ok it is not that odd. It is the same everywhere there is a P&R or News forum. Even in Pakistan forums.
