Illegal refers to the act, not the person, your argument is a straw man. Someone who immigrates is an immigrant. Someone who illegally immigrates is an illegal immigrant. Call them whatever else you want, it doesn’t change the fact that the phrase is correct. It is only demeaning for those looking to feel hurt.…

Let’s just call that a bad analogy. A more appropriate example would be if you drive without a license. I think some would say you are driving illegally. (Leaving aside for a moment that whole movement that says the government can’t constitutionally require you to hold a license in order to drive on public roads.)

I’m not sure what part of my little story you are trying to refute, other than the part where I’m trying to illustrate that there is culpability on the customer side as well (to think otherwise is nieve). And there you don’t even provide any logic to back up your statement. You will note that I did say it is more…

I’m not saying cost plus is the better way to go, but there are reasons why the government uses cost plus contracting. Much of it is related to the department of defense procurement agencies’ motto: Indecision is the key to flexibility, and the fact that they are asking for stuff that doesn’t yet exist.

It would be more like:

That only works if the number of seats on the aircraft is sufficiently high to make the statistic valid. Since the system used by other airlines is likely to have some margin in it, they could be wasting cargo capacity. Wasted capacity means the airline is less fuel efficient. Why do you hate the earth?

I think buzz might be a little strong for what happened in that video. I’d accept flyover.

You can probably cut the price by getting toxic ones from China but something tells me the citizens would object.

These kids are sociopaths. I don’t know if that can be fixed or not. But they are just as likely to end up banking executives as they are serial killers. Or maybe patent lawyers. Politicians?

That is just luck. It has nothing to do with their intent.

In hopes that it spread to her husband maybe?

Sure, in raw quantity, nobody can hold a candle to the US (USA! USA!). But per capita I think there might be some competition out there in some of the wealthier Arab countries where almost everyone is a prince of some sort.

I have no illusions that she would make a good president. I didn’t mean to imply that, if that’s the way you took it. She is a failed leader at least a couple of times over. While she seems to have done well for herself financially, she did it by nearly tanking at least two businesses.

How about we don’t make they company pay anything. If you want to make it universal, make the government pay for it, just like unemployment. That is how most of the rest of the world does it. Oh, and you need to raise taxes, probably by adding a payroll tax, just like the other developed countries. It needs to be sold…

Wow, it seems the lot over here have gone over the nest and completely forgot that this is a woman speaking, that is a woman who gives her female employees a great benefit. I’m not defending republicans, but give some credit where it’s due.

Yes, the Republican Party is a single hive mind and no two republicans can have differing opinions on things. Therefore it is all a conspiracy to confuse you.

At 6000 rpm a Harley connecting rod will create its own crankcase ventilation system.

I think the big air cooled Harleys typically red line around 5500. Harleys have a decent peak torque, but no real horsepower so high revs wouldn’t be much help anyway.

And here we have the problem with the USA. Not having cable, two cars, and a new iPhone every year is a miserable life.
