JiggaJonsonI never denied saying that. I'll say it again if you like.
"You common cry of curs, whose breath I hate
As reek o' th' rotten fens, whose loves I prize
As the dead carcasses of unburied men
That do corrupt my air, I banish you!"
-Shakespeare
"Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run."
-Herman Melville
"That Edward shall be fearful of his life,
And then, to purge his fear, I'll be thy death.
King Henry and the prince his son are gone:
Clarence, thy turn is next, and then the rest,
Counting myself but bad till I be best."
Shakespeare
"All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled upon the whale’s white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he burst his hot heart’s shell upon it."
-Herman Melville
“Destruction is a form of creation.”
-Graham Greene
I should probably thank @bobknight33 . Now I know why people cut the tongues out of some men.
No, I've got documented proof that you wrote, and I quote, "FUCK YOU".
A signal that you have accepted their anger as your own. Now you prepare to give it back to them in War Games.
"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play." - War Games
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" - Isaac Asimov
The winner of a fight does not make him the best man.
The round goes to bobby.
Edit: BTW, If we have to "teach those dumb rednecks a lesson again." then I guess we didn't get to the heart of the problem the first time.

newtboyLol. I've done similar at that turn in my Civic with super wide tires, it was a go-cart, totally rode on rails, but that turn had the rear end hanging out and the front tires smoking. I also got pulled over doing 110, but on the straight right after the turn, just before the artichoke fields. The cop asked didn't I think over 80 was a bit fast, I said yes, he let me go. I was so lucky. Should have lost my car.
Then there was the Acura Legend I inherited...the Speedo topped out at 150, but the car sure didn't. I think I got it to around 175 based on rpm calculations. Ahhh, to be young and stupid again. Crashed it into a K rail at 55 mph, went airborne. Good times!
I love 84!
I had some friends into exotic cars and we'd take 84 over to the coast now and again, mostly because we had a shit-ton of money and a shit-ton of spare time to kill -- the Dot-Com fucking rocked!
There's a bend in the road just outside La Honda on the coastal side that's a 15mph hairpin with a tree at the apex. It's a lovely goddamn thing, especially when you forget it's there. So here we all come, lane-trading and exercising general assholery in cars that cost what a nice single-family home does.
Oh FUCK, the turn!!
My friend in the 911 does this beautiful trail-brake and swings through the curve. Elise follows suit, complete with smoking tires. Next up is Countach. He BARELY holds it together, but gets through without any real drama.
Now it's my turn.
Did I mention I was driving a '97 Camaro Z-28? Yeah, Camaros of that year are good at exactly one thing: driving very fast in very straight lines. Corners? Yeah, not so much. I realize I'm in trouble and I'm coming into the turn WAY too fast. I grab the shifter and get ready. My plan is that I'm going to slam it into first, let the rev limiter do its thing to save the engine, pull the e-brake and swing the tail, then punch it and swing the ass-end around and launch out of the curve with smoking Z-rated tires and all!
And HERE WE GO -- grab the shifter, yank it all the way down and...
That's when California emissions standards fucked me.
You see, when you buy a Camaro Z-28 in California, you don't actually get first gear. You get what's called a California First, which is actually SECOND gear, because if you were actually able to use FIRST gear, the goddamn car would belch enough emissions to make a farting Brontosaurus blush. And second gear ain't exactly gonna work for my little plan.
tl;dr is that I hit the no-lock brakes hard enough to get my speed down and was able to bring the ass around with the little e-brake trick. I wasn't out of the woods because I over-corrected on the way out and spun. The same God that I spite and don't believe in actually saved my ass and I didn't end up going off the road. Apparently, he loves fools and Z-28 Camaros.
I honestly had more fun in that car than the law allows: sometimes literally, like when I got clocked at 110 coming onto the straight at King City. Good times, man, good times.
Did You Ever Imagine The President Could Act Like This?
bobknight33I never thought the media would act like that.
I never thought a sitting president would spy on a candidate.
I never thought out Government would try to de rail and remove our POTUS.
Thank GOD we have a POTUS that actually fight back.

bobknight33What BS are up pushing?
Blaming Trump for begin at the for front and Democrats railing against his measures.
Personal responsibility and sensibility are foremost not government.. Protect yourself and your loved ones..
Your spin is like blaming Obama for SARS or EBOLA. Grow up.
Trump is the right man for this job.
I now have 5 students who have lost parents, ??? how many have lost grandparents.
These are the parties responsible for this mess in the USA:
THE MONEY MAKING PROPAGANDA YOU SUPPORT
THE PRESIDENT YOU SUPPORT WHO REPEATS IT
THE SYCOPHANTIC FOLLOWERS (LIKE YOU) WHO REPEAT IT
These are the fruits of your labors; I hope it comes back on you TEN-FOLD.

1,000km Cable to the Stars - The Skyhook
newtboyEdit: Thanks Eric for the link that addressed my questions/concerns.
Imo, rail guns and gravity couches are far more feasible and that technology does exist today. I hope we develop something before the Kessler syndrome (when space junk in orbit is so prevalent it's impossible to avoid and constantly increasing, like in "Gravity") makes orbiting or leaving earth impossible. That day is approaching quickly.
Next generation vertical lift Bell V 280 Valor
SFOGuylol; well, yes.
Actually, as a civilian, for short trips in bad traffic areas (yes, I know that light rail and mass transit would be better)---I would try this out.
And---for Air Ambulances (yes, mixed evidence on efficacy) and Military MediEvac---farther, faster, safer with more load?
Not having the fleet is even cheaper.

Black Mesa: STALWART XT - Full Walkthrough
BSRThe thing I like about this guy's videos is that he gets in and gets out. Wastes no time getting through and you don't have to listen to him blab throughout the whole thing. And I gotta say, he's near perfect shot!
Just make sure you are not the one he shoots and your body lays over a railing with your butt up in the air.

A Hard Question For Religion
BSRWhen you realize you have been sent to hell because you have loved and been loved, the only way to heaven is to continue to love with the knowledge that you will be sending the people you love to hell also. You must go through hell to get to heaven. You are born again when you realize you've been in heaven all along and never realized it.
"So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?" -Wish you were here. Pink Floyd
You are God. You are Satan. Enjoy the dance.
THE test? Hardly. That's not even the only test for your small sect.
If you've been saved, "born again" then sin again, or question dogma or your own belief, you have to do it all over again....according to your particular group's belief...right? It's not a one and done thing, it's a constant subjugation and supplication, incessant adoration by the congregation, suffering degradation without protestation.
What happens when one side has been saved and doesn't change but the other side no longer believes after surgery?
