am I the only person who is surrounded by good marriages? Seriously, there is not a single divorce between my parents, any of their siblings, grandparents, long-time girlfriend's parents, and they all do great together (with the exception of maybe my alcoholic grandpa who crosses the line sometimes). Makes it really hard to be cynical about marriage when pretty much everyone in my life has met the person they married in college (sometimes before, sometimes very shortly after) and stayed with them.

record book:
grandparents #1: elementary school, grew up together, inseperable
grandparents #2: alcoholic grandpa doesn't help but they still get by. right after college.
mom&dad: first week of college. first date second week.
gf's mom/dad: first year of college
won't get into all the aunts and uncles, but from talking to my parents there are no real problems or mega changes in people. They are themselves and a colorful bunch at that

me and my girlfriend: known her since I was 14, didn't start dating until 18, now pushing 21. no plans of marriage as of yet lol

I have examined all the evidence from both sides, and arrived at the conclusion that planes hit towers, exploded, and later towers fell down.

So yeah, chalk me up for believer.

also, there is some really, really shitty science in some of the conspiracy theories

It's really hard to tell with those camera angles... some blame to share there for sure.

I voted Watts because it looked like his car went straight on at the turn and Cleland tried his best to turn behind him but failed. I'm not a mind reader, so with the limited information we have I'll give him the benefit of the doubt in this case

Quote from PMD9409 :

I remember that exact test you are talking about. I remember how they tried to cover that up by saying: "VIR is alot like Infineon. Doesn't require alot of power because it has many slow corners, and rear tire wear is important. The last thing we would want to do is destroy our rear tires."

because it's impossible to apply a little less throttle when needed excuse invalid. try again. Especially with Marcos Ambrose behind the wheel...

EDIT: I am struggling to find a time and a place where less horsepower is a GOOD thing... within reason of course, a 5,000 horespower beast would be nearly undriveable

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Essentially, every team in NASCAR is factory-backed nowadays to some degree.

Basically, this is your answer. Though dodge has no "factory team", I have seen multiple NASCAR cars (?) down by the windtunnel section in the Chrysler building

also, there was this car which at least carried manufacturer sponsorship:

After a long, difficult hunt, the blood-thirsty Fiesta pounces on the unsuspecting bush and rips it to shreds. The plant never had a chance.

Haven't seen him once reply to someone, that's ban material right there, 'answering' polite questions with even more CTRL+V.. nor did i saw a smiley face from him ever..

some people just don't like smiley faces:wmann3::biggun::uglyhamme:jedi::fence3d::bewarespa:littleang:smash3d::static::laola::laola::bananalla:woohoo::rally_dri:bounce8::fence::dogrun::banghead::something:heartbeat:chairfall::bump::inq::hidesbehi:elefant::hyper::guitarist:bluegrab::leb::ufo::feedtroll:mr-t::smurf::spyoda::banana_ra:clapclap::ambulance:wallace::bowdown::tempted::sleep2::huepfenic::heyjoeani::monkey::cookiemon:riceboy::gt:

EDIT: also, it would be awesome if people quoted this entire post. You should probably do that.
EDIT2: I wasn't really serious about that DONT DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MY EYES ARE TOO OFFENDED ALREADY

Herman Cain 2012!

same crap, different skin

... I kinda liked this post anyways

citing CBS on that article (by one local affiliate) is like saying that because one member of this forum doesn't believe in 9/11, the entire forum is made up of crackpots.

Quote from PMD9409 :

We expect it, as presidential elections are only a month before. Possible thoughts of Sarah Palin or Donald Trump being president means we can not last much longer.

latest polls say more than half of people here would never vote for either of them. thankfully.

Not like the GOP realistically has that much of a shot at beating Obama anyways

Being Swiss you probably didn't get the joke.

Quote from burn4u :

Not sure "Ctrl C" is classed as writing talents.

that's about how much skill it takes to write for the National Enquirer

Quote from sermilan :

Why not going with funds that already exist, such as Lens Armstrong's one? I'm sure your project would do better as a part of bigger one.

It doesn't get any bigger than Relay for Life. seriously, at least look up the program before bashing it.

Logitek, I already do my own walking and fundraising for Relay, good on you for doing this

Quote from flymike91 :

Today on CSPAN

You sure that wasn't The National Enquirer?

I can almost guarantee they will run a similar story about Osama still being alive sometime in the near future.

Also, they could use Racer X's writing talents

woo hoo!!

Quote from Racer X NZ :

( Let's hope they do a better job than Obama's latest CLB ):

oh dear god, not this noise again...

Boris, you're right, every piece of evidence is fake to him, always.

officially, I don't drink, since I'm not of age for another few months

if anyone has netflix, the documntary Senna is streaming as of today

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Nope on either

Bay: Not enough explosions

Sly: Not enough carnage

:P

Michael Bay, I'll give you maybe, but that plato crash was straight out of Driven car goes off, just happens to hit something that makes it flip and destroy itself

And then it was out for the third race, now that's not very realistic, is it?

Quote from Minimaxman :

James Nash is my hero at the moment,

I am so looking forward to him and Andrew Jordan battle it out for years to come hopefully

Quote from BlueFlame :

Yea, where as FIA GT series can't even make the rolling start without crashing...

ILMS and BTCC can't even get to the start, so they are doing good
