    Kill a cat Theresa - Kurt's Answer to California

    Good point CSR, but when raw emotion replaces common sense then becoming pretty standard sucks. Suing companies for producing something society needs and values sucks. Impossible air standards, such as the CARB standards for formaldehyde which say that wood products must emit less...

    Almost Hyrdolocked The Motor Lastnite

    When I was in highschool I was on one of those fishing trips to Canada, and about 2 hours from home one of the trucks in our caravan broke its alternator belt. We had rolls of 3M strapping tape and made a belt from that, and it broke after maybe 20 miles. We figured we would just keep making...

    Almost Hyrdolocked The Motor Lastnite

    I'll bring things back to topic. Damn Fuzz. That was lucky as shit! It made me sick just reading it. Right after I left home, my mom gave my dad a ton of shit because he took their car on a fishing trip to Canada and had to cross some deep water. Somehow he ended up with water in the...

    Canada or Australia?

    I've been to both, and they both have their strengths. If walleye fishing, great hunting and snowmobiling are your thing, then Canada is tops. The winters are a big downer. I grew up in Wisconsin and lived in Michigan's UP for 7 years, and winters get to be a serious downer after a while...

    Auto Insurrance...

    Who could blame you? There's no feeling like getting a deal. Especially on rip-off insurance. Do they do package deals, like homeowners/multicar, etc?

    How to get the BEST $2500 Paint Job

    Thanks, I was hoping to hear from a pro and that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for, so +1 to you. As far as specifics of body work goes, there is literally zero rust on the car - even surface rust - with one minor exception. I have a small, apple sized dent in the passenger rear...

    California Socialism

    I don't think you're going to be that lucky Drunk. I'm in KY and work with primary manufacturers throughout the eastern US. The number 1 issue for all of them are CARB (Calif Air Resources Board) standards for formaldehyde emissions in forest products and building materials. Like the CO2...

    War on Drugs = failure

    s383, if been there done that are the qualifications, then I'm your man. Been there, done that. What Hells is trying to say is that there are consequences to drugs - failing drug tests through work, negative affects on memory both short and long term depending on amount of use, lack of...

    Kill a cat Theresa - Kurt's Answer to California

    Okay, but in all seriousness a lot would be accomplished to straighten things out if companies would simply respond by not offering their services/products to a state that is simply unreasonable and without any good scientific evidence to support their environmental policies. The losers in...

    Thank you for your agreement, but I'm not surprised we agreed on this topic. If nothing else it looks like my brilliance and charisma are doing some good! :biglaugh:

    Kill a cat Theresa - Kurt's Answer to California

    I think I have a very simple win-win solution for the eco-conscious Californians who keep passing senseless legislation and who are now responsiblle for the sickingly frivolous anti-automaker lawsuit. I propose that all automakers simply agree to no longer sell new cars in the state of...

    War on Drugs = failure

    Lets just finish this thing off once and for all, cuz I've got to get to bed soon: I could be wrong here, but I don't think I am. Poll the entire American population, and you MIGHT get a majority to support ending the prohibition of pot. You WILL NOT see the same support for other drugs, by...

    War on Drugs = failure

    In response to paragraph #1, if my wife, child, sister, parent, dear friend or coworker abuse drugs, then then affect me a great deal. Same with those people in your life. That answers the question you said I failed to answer.

    War on Drugs = failure

    And I think that's the right attitude to have. But alcohol is used responsibly by most. Coke isn't. Heroin isn't. Meth isn't. See the difference? You have to go with how the majority are able to use these substances.

    War on Drugs = failure

    Brewster, another fair question. I've never said alcohol should be banned - it can be and is often used without abuse. I've said pot is one illegal drug that can be used without abuse more than any other, and legalizing it should be discussed - maybe the public wants it banned as a whole...

    War on Drugs = failure

    A fair question, and I will say it for the 10th time tonight. You say anything goes as long as it doesn't tread on anybody elses rights. I think the catalyst for the revival of this topic tonight clearly demonstrates that it does negatively affect the rights of innocent people. Are you going...
