    Judge blocks Fla.'s new welfare drug testing law

    Since you are more of an expert at this than I, could you please elaborate on the hair strand test? Is it more cost effective to test urine vs. hair? What would be the government stance on testing in states where marijuana is legal?

    Books that have changed your view on the world...

    Beyond Good and Evil- Friedrich Nietzsche This one really made me think about everything I was "taught" as a "Christian." Up until this book I was ok with being told what to believe instead of figuring it out for myself through research and study.

    Why are you patriotic?

    I believe in the ideals of our Constitution, but most importantly the freedoms and liberties afforded by it. In December of 1998 I decided to join the Marines at age 20. I had a good government job and a promising career, but left to serve my country. I remember there being rumors of war at...

    Should I wait?

    LOL! I haven't even considered the 150gb model. I'll look into that. See, I have 3 items left to buy. I had 4 as of last night, but I made a quick trip to Fry's to snag me the mobo/processor combo with the Q9550 for $229. So now I need my OS, a DVD drive and the hard drive. Which would cost...

    Should I wait?

    I have almost everything I need to go forward. I'm just missing some crucial parts to get it running. The hard drive is really the last thing I'm waiting on and I wanted to go with the WD Velociraptor http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136260 but was thinking of maybe skimping...

    ***DEAD*** Fry's q9550 & ecs mobo $229.99 B&M

    Are you saying that yours wasn't a retail Processor and it didn't come with a fan? I live in Dallas and my Processor was in a sealed Intel box and the mobo was too. I looked in the Processor box and there was a fan with it too. ? ? ? ? I actually only bought this for the processor. Don't...

    Time to stock up on ARs/AKs and other fun weapons for real now...

    I would be for banning certain weapons. As mentioned before in this thread, I also do not see the need for most assault/semi-automatic rifles for anything other than defense from a foreign invasion. Even semi-automatics can be illegaly modded to become fully automatic. Pistols and Shotguns...

    Dear Mr Obama

    Hey man, props to you for serving. I have a friend going back out again too, and I just hate to hear it, but I know you are both just doing your duty. I understand your view from having been there, so I'll take your word on it that you have a better eyes on account of the situation. As for...

    Dear Mr Obama

    Morally obligated? And what is your sacrifice or commitment(other than tax dollars) to the the present situation? Are you currently serving in Iraq? Don't get me wrong, I'm not being hostile with you, I'm just trying to understand your opinion. Also, I'm sure I don't understand your...

    Dear Mr Obama

    Invading Iraq was a mistake. This is correct. So how do we further justify our presence in a country that we shouldn't be in? Do we continue to say "Well we've lost so many of our troops! Their sacrifice should not be in vain!" and just keep our course sacrificing more lives as time drags...
