  • Is there any way to get Yahoo Mail so all your messages are on one page?

    I HATE this BS of 25 per page, because I don't use this account much and now I've got like a couple hundred emails backed up and I just want to delete them all with having to do it a page at atime.

  • OK, I finally opened up the little brown envelope?

    in the case of the .22 pistol I bought a while back, and there was a spent shell. I assume as proof that it was test-fired, but any other reason? Is it something I should be sure to keep or anything?

  • Are most guys who buy Macbooks?

    "compensating"? You know, the way they say guys who buy some cars are "compensating"?

    It seems a lot the same - overpriced, a lot of hype and flash, and no need for most of the available features.

    Truthfully, I'm skeptical about the whole car thing anyway. I mean really, one guy starts talking about cars, and the first thing another guy thinks about is the first guy's "size"? Sounds a little - well, you know. Hey! That brings us right back to Apple, don't it?

  • Barrel length & Muzzle velocity?

    Hey gang. I understand why a longer barrel gives you a higher muzzle velocity at the business end. What I'm wondering is, at what point does the Law of Diminishing Returns kick in? That is, about what is the maximum barrel length you could have before you don't get more velocity? And how would caliber affect the answer? Would your max length be more for an 8mm than for a .22LR?

  • A thought about Tebow and "Tebowing"?

    A thought about Tebow and "Tebowing"?

    The streets of New York, London, and Paris are mobbed every day with literally thousands of Mohammadens praying in the streets, multiple times in a day, disrupting traffic and business, inconveniencing passersby, bringing entire neighborhoods to a standstill, yet some people are outraged over one man praying in the end zone a few times a week.

    Do you all have your priorities straight?

  • Hi, I'm one of a handful of Yanks who likes cricket...?

    and I've wondered about the possibility of something.

    At the end of a match, there is always the one last "Not out" after the last wicket . . . or is there? Is it somehow possible to have something like a baseball double-play, where both batsmen could be dismissed at essentially the same time? Like maybe the striker gets out LBW, and the non-striker gets a hit wicket, or is in front of the crease and someone throws the ball in and breaks the wicket? Or the striker is caught out, and the non-striker gets run out at the end with the ball coming back?

    Or does one batsman getting out automatically end live play?

    Thanks!

  • If atheism isn't a religion,?

    why do so many atheists waste time in the religion forum?

    They say too, "Atheism is a religion, like not collecting stamps is a hobby."

    Right, I don't collect stamps, but I don't troll the stamp collectors forum, insulting their interest, screaming at them that "stamps" are nothing but worthless little bits of paper and ink, that they are idiots to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars buying a single one, and that in any case, there is really no such thing as a "post office," and that letters get from house to house by perfectly natural means, without any mythical "post office" or "mailman."

    Come to think of it, why don't you guys do that too -- the ones that don't collect stamps? Why are you so obsessed with other peoples' faith? Some deep-rooted insecurity? I've heard some people say that someone who bashes gays is really afraid he's gay himself. Is it something like that? Are you deiphobic? Are you guys afraid that if you stop sneering you might find you actually believe in something?

  • Who said this and when?

    "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

    A) Sen. John McCain in 2008

    B) Sen. Scott Brown in 2009

    C) Sen. Jim DeMint in 2010

    D) Sen B. H. Obama in 2006

    Yes, you got it! That was the current president on the nation's debt crisis when it "belonged" to bad ol' George. What is the White House's current take on the issue?

    I don’t see why anybody’s playing chicken with the debt ceiling. If we get to the point where we damage the full faith and credit of the United States, that would be the first default in history caused purely by insanity.

  • Recently, Republican Congressional candidate Stephen Broden...?

    of the Dallas, Texas area, made waves when he said: "We have a constitutional remedy...And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution." (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/lat... Liberal news outlets and blogs (MSNBS, Kos, etc.) were appalled!

    What have other Americans said about armed rebellion?

    Thomas Jefferson on the Shaysite Rebellion:

    "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. .... It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government. "

    (http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/P/tj3/writings/brf/jefl6...

    And elsewhere:

    "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. ... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."

    (http://www.earlyamerica.com/review/summer/letter.h...

    More recently, unabashed Marxist domestic terrorist Bill Ayers of the Weathermen said:

    “…We came to do material damage to pig Amerika and all that it’s about — its school-jails, its pig armies, its fat businessmen, and its greedy empire. We came to do it in the road—in the open—so that white Amerika could dig on the opening of the a new front, on the birth of a new brigade in the world liberation army. We came to attack—because we know that the only things to defend in honkie Amerika are the privileges—the cars, the apartments, the hotels, the TV’s,–that we’ve gained off the sweat of the people of the world. We came to vamp on those privileges and destroy the m—–f—– from the inside…

    From here on it’s one battle after another… Pig Amerika—Beware: There’s an army growing right in your guts, and it’s going to help bring you down.”

    And he remains a hero of the "Professional Left," as VP Biden called it, as well as personal friend of - - well, let's just say other people in high places.

    So why was this statement from Broden so controversial? Is it only because he's a black Republican, and the Liberal Plantation thinks he's gotten too uppity?

  • Hey have you heard this about the racist Republicans?

    "The racist, horrible, hateful Tea Party elected more minorities than Democrats did. Including Governor Sandoval in Nevada .... First Hispanic governor. Brian Sandoval, Latino Republican... New Mexico elected Susannah Martinez, nation's first Hispanic female governor. Florida, of course, elected Marco Rubio, son of a Cuban immigrant. And South Carolina elected Republican Nicky Hailey, state's first female, whose parents immigrated from India, as well as Tim Scott, the state's first black Republican Congressman. There's a few more. There's Allen West, the first black Republican elected to Congress from Florida. Since a former slave served two terms in the 1870s. Two Latino republicans from Texas, Congressman Bill Flores and Francisco Canseco. It's awful. A racist bloodbath."

    Oops! Talk about diversity, huh? Can we start calling the Democrats the racist party of white privilege now? Or would that be unfair, considering how few Democrats actually got elected this week?
