I think that every day. That would rock. And I want one of those trailing message bars in my rear window so I can tell those I just cut up exactly what I think of them too

If my head were severed in an accident, I'd know more than you about rights, and pretty much everything else too.

One of these, Preprogram 16 messages, scrolls up to 80 characters each or text with the help of a library of 100 words and phrases.
Can be set to run all the time, on a switch, or with your brake lights.

That's pretty cool, and would come in very handy here in Southern California.

That's the sucker. Solong as it's not limited to the preprogrammed library of 100 words

Beest has several paintball markers (guns), you'll have to come on over and borrow one, Jim. Thing is, the paint's too expensive to waste on morons who can't drive.

OK, here's a case where the remote control is so shitty as to be life-threatening.

You thought it was hard to hit the pause button in the dark, now try it at 80 MPH when some crazy-ass motherfucker has just cut you off on the exit ramp!

What we clearly need, people, are big-ass buttons that say

SORRY

and

THANKS

and

FUCK YOU

These big red buttons should have rounded edges, and should be visible in different colors and shapes, in the driver's peripheral vision, so that the driver does not inadvertently select the wrong one.

This one is not like picking the wrong intermittent wiper setting. You are communicating with average human beings. This could be your life, people.

I need the following options

"start praying"
"get off your fucking phone"
"that mascara ain't gonna make you look any prettier in the morgue"

ok, maybe that' last one's a little lengthy.........

Trouble with that idea is that to become mature, you've got to do the time, day for day, year for year. So the immediate result is mutual irritation, glaringly visible. (Kid, Radar's always going to have about fifteen years on you until the day he dies -- though when you're into your twenties the gap will be smaller in all ways except calendric.)

And experiences too: people raised like hothouse plants don't do so well out in the fields. An experience that would teach Pierce why I talk the way I do around here would be at least one hitch in any branch of the Armed Forces but the Air Force (their SpecWar specialties excepted -- which would take him beyond the way I go at things). Some people will tell you the military is not for them. Only in a few cases are they right. A military is very much one-size-fits-all, and you will be called upon to adapt. Of course, it's about an equally poor or equally good fit on those all, which is to say there's only a small group for which it's perfect and a larger group who for reasons nearly as varied as the individuals who find it a fit that's close enough. Those two groups are the career military.

That's enough digression upon the digression. We return now to the previous digression... popcorn, popcorn, who's got the airpopped popcorn with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and grated parmesan cheese sprinkled on...?

What, no :Popcorn: in the Smiley window?? Ah, -- and doughnuts with...

I'm wasn't the one pathetically attacking someone with all the information I knew about the other. My perspective is valid whether you like it or not, and is held up by many people that are older than both of you. The age card can only work sometimes, but not in this instance because we are talking about philosophy which is purely opinion and I wasn't the one flinging insults around left and right.

Well I think MASHfreak has a lot going for him. Specifics of the argument aside, he has taken an interest in the topic, questoned and -most importantly- not allowed himself to be beaten down. He may be wrong, he may be right, frankly, I don't care. What he is, is true to himself, not afraid to speak out and not willing to be told "because I said so" by his elders. Many an internet veteran would have slunk away by now.

....And thank goodness he's not my child. (they know their place....)

To paraphrase George Carlin, everyone should have a gun that shoots suction cup darts with a flag on the dart that says "asshole". If a cop sees you with three or more flags on your car, you automatically get a ticket.

that'd work.

National borders are obviously a limit imposed by government. Does a Mexican have the inalienable right to walk across the border into the US?
