You won't find what I wrote on google because *gasp* I made it all up.

I seem to remember it being the centrifugal force of the wheels giving my bike the gyroscopic effect, but that was many, many years ago and that sounds pretty damn good, and I have yet to master the google magic, so thank you.


Dang, that google business isn't overrated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_dynamics

First off, sweet name Enzoblue. Second, I don't think most police officers are like this. I am a Deputy Juvenile Officer, so I work with a lot of kids, and I find that if you respect them, they'll respect you. If I were that kid I would have turned the video into the department. If there is a followup to the story I would like to know. Thanks!

I love my avatar more and more everyday.

^ that's a perfect comment for a man with a crude bush avatar

It sounded like you were saying that you couldn't have the fourth amendment and the second amendment existing in harmony at the same time. That's what I don't get.

In reply to this comment by schmawy:
The video was about Wiretapping, which is a fourth ammendment issue. Redsky brought up guns, which is a second amendment issue. If he wished discuss the two together then you have to combine the right to own weapons and the right to privacy, that's why I came up with the government making warantless searches your home for guns. Admittedly, a flimsy reach, but most of my thinking is like that

I don't get it. Why would the government search everyone's homes?

Redsky-

I think there are other threads that cover the second amendment issue of the right to keep and bear arms, and I'll keep out of those because a friend of mine labeled me a "black powder liberal" on that issue.

This is a fourth amendment issue which of course states "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..."

If you'd wish to mix the two, applying FISA and Wiretapping to gun control, you'd get something like the following scenario: The government having the right to enter EVERYONES home, without your knowledge and without court permission, to search for firearms. Would this be acceptable to you?

Charisma is a very important characteristic to have when you're attempting to be elected the most powerful man in the world.

Poor Ron Paul. You make such great points, but your competition has better charisma. That's all that America seems to care about. Guess we'll have sh%t on the right or sh%t on the left to choose from again.

He did them for Wes Anderson's film: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. That video was an extended scene from the film.

Anyone know the story of these covers? They are absolutely brilliant. Makes me think Portugese goes well with anything. Respects to Astrud, Joao & Bebel!

Thanks!

50? Nice. I think I'll take a little wander through your published to celebrate.

E: there was a whole bunch of stuff I'd already voted for, and even more that I watched and enjoyed but didn't. Don't know what my problem is! Congrats.

Thanks, Dooder.

...and I forgive you. Just stop coming to my house and throwing pebbles at my window.

Dude, that was mild compared to what I usually get.

ahoy! so, I replied (very bitterly) to your comment. apologies in advance!

Oh, please. The Bush Administration can fire whoever they want to fire.

You people obviously don't know anything about Gonzales' record.

Qruel gave me the impression that he felt other religions don't need to be accepting of Mormons.

He also stated indirectly that Mormon doctrine was "nonsense."

I don't mind when people say that Mormons have different beliefs than most other Christian faiths. It's true. They do. I find it offensive when people make anyone's personal convictions and beliefs out to be "ridiculous" or "nonsense". If one believes that ALL religion is nonsense, that's a different story.


(..and Romney did make specific references to what he believes and how it relates to the office of President of the United States.)

In reply to this comment by Farhad2000:
Deedub81, I believe you are misinformed.

Mormons are not Christians, there is a marked difference between Mormonism and mainstream Christianity. Here's BeliefNet with a helpful charts of differences. This one is from Religion Facts.

Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet and that Christianity fell into apostasy after the passing of Jesus Christ. The Bible to them is far below the The Pearl of Great Price, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Book of Mormon.

"Whether Mormons should be considered "Christians" is a controversial and rather complicated issue. Many Catholics and Protestants do not consider Mormons to be Christians because they believe the differences in doctrines are more dramatic and more fundamental than those between Christian denominations."

You don't want people to see this?

In no reasonable way can I upvote this.

Are you seriously comparing John Sinclair with Dr. King and Rosa Parks?


There's a difference between laws against drugs, or laws against...say...praying. It there were a law, that forced me to do something (or not do something) that went against my principles, that's a different story. John Sinclair just wanted to get high. That's a selfish reason for breaking the law. Don't act like he was doing something noble.

sometimes you have to break the law and demand change.

All you gotta do is change the pitch of the sound when you slow it down. Otherwise, you're right: It would sound much lower.
