[quote=flu]Ricechex,

Why did you bring me into this mess? 🙂

I promise, after this nastiest part of this recession passes for me, I will have purchased my car that i want, and have taken my car-philes to that car’s enthusiasts forum, rendering this forum intact. I’ve already pulled 3 car deposits over the past 2 years, due to recession concerns/future product rumors/etc. I’m getting sort of antsy, but I’m sort of a lost, unloved child right now, because I got no juice to hang with the car-philes on that forum (yet) 🙂

Note though: I am (trying) very hard to keep things economically related.

1) Anti GM/Chrysler bailout (because I don’t want to pay for this crap) on my taxes.

2) Car safety (because, purchasing a miser isn’t necessarily the most cost effective thing to do..sort of)

Ok, #2 was a stretch. But hey, that thread is no longer on the right hand side.

Sorry, I’ve tried to stay mum on this thread…Because it was getting a little to deep for me, heh heh. I’m a pretty shallow person…That’s why I like Southern California. Heh heh. But if some of you folks want to start comparing PENS sizes, hmmm I might have to take a raincheck on that one.

I’m trying to post less these days. It’s not really productive…It’s not working. It’s also not helping that I can’t doing anything else right now. No sports, no outdoor activities, no work. I can’t even frickin drive a car right now…It’s driving me nuts. I can’t understand people wanting to stay on med leave. It blows.

Sorry Flu..I actually think you are a nice guy too! Another smart one…and there are many on this board. That is why we come here….to dispute and share information, but yet we agree all agree on many societal issues. I am hoping you get well soon, sounds like you are young having physical problems….and that is certainly a stressor for you, plus the issues of being the breadwinner for the family. Flu, you hang in there okay?

[quote=Veritas]Russ, you have class. I read other blogs and the personal attacks are relentless, personal and often tasteless. This site is full on intelligent, interesting, opinionated and passionate people. It is unique. I apologize if I have offended you fellows, but I believe that our veterans deserve our praise and respect. I will continue to wave the flag and praise them for their sacrifice and service.[/quote]

Yes, Russ has total class. I suspect he is a good man.

Allan, you do get a bit much with yourself at times. However, because you are so intelligent, my guess is that gets in your way. The way Flu brags about cars, is the way you brag about special ops etc. Allen, I think you are quite brilliant, it is just the way you come across sometimes. Remember, message boards….we don’t have the ability to see non-verbal communication and tone of voice.

I totally support the military. It is a wonderful institution to help mold people, give them discipline, character and responsibility. And, that is what Allan is talking about…he has integrity. He will take his training to the grave, and pass on that discipline and responsibility to his children. (Just please don’t be the Great Santini)

I enjoy ScaredyCat’s postings too. He also has critical thought.

People range in grays….I support guns (yes, we have a few) and yet those that know my field would say I am a liberal. Little do they know, and they would make assumptions based on my profession. Can’t all of us accept that people do not fit into a box created by the media?
