Yeah, it's definitely different but those things are great. They are great from 0-25 so if you ever get stuck you can drop it in to four wheel drive; they are absolute tanks at getting out of ditches. If you can find a 4-door automatic the insurance shouldn't be toooo bad, but I can understand if you're dead-set on a manual.

Everyone that has owned a Jeep is crazy about them (including this guy :-P).

Demby, if you're looking to get a small hauling vehicle, I'd suggest trying to find an early 90's Jeep Cherokee. Those AMC engines NEVER die and they're great for hauling things around. Pre-1995/6 is what you're looking for. Check Craigslist, there are many for sale.

Finally a time to put my education to work! :razz: Here's an economic take on slavery. Eric Williams, in his book Capitalism and Slavery [1944], has argued that: In my opinion though, slavery is always morally wrong. One group of humans--ethnically grouped or not--exerting complete control over another group in order to benefit (while simultaneously disregarding the basic human rights of the enslaved) cannot possibly be morally justified under any circumstances.

First, I am defending the concepts of constructive criticism, not the content of his article. Never have I said I agreed with his article. In fact, I don't! Second, Croce is very capable of defending himself. He doesn't need me to defend him, I chose to. Just like how I am choosing to leave this thread. Have a good day.

If you think you can demonstrate how weak an author's argument is in seven words, you are out of your mind. Your attempt seems to be the turd in this situation, but you just keep on polishing.

Fancy words describing the same core content. I believe you were implying Croce's article was nothing more than a twelve year old's rant that used "fancy words". It is a base, juvenile response that gives no consideration, respect, or helpful advice to the author. I will not sit idly and watch that happen. If I am wrong, then I am genuinely sorry for my responses, but if I am right in my interpretation, what you said could not be--in any way--considered a form a constructive criticism.

I'm not against criticism, in fact I'm all for it because it makes writers (or anything, for that matter) better, but only if it is constructive criticism. What you posted was nowhere near constructive criticism. It was an insult.

I didn't think so.

Fancy words describing the same core content. [spoiler=Here's a bridge, just for you!] We've got a spot in the Times later in the month that is open, would you care to write an article? :-)

My friends can fend for themselves when it comes to women. There's no "bro-code" as far as I'm concerned except the no [rooster]-block rule. That kind of goes without saying though.

You forgot to add the part where they took forty five minutes to decide which flavor Doritos to pick up at the convenience store. (Even though they eventually settled on Funyuns)

Saying marijuana isn't addictive might be true, but it's misleading at the same time. I would say that it is highly habitual but doesn't have the withdrawal symptoms of an addictive substance. EDIT: Ring World, your post saddens me. Marijuana does not impair you in the same way alcohol does neither in operating machinery nor making decisions. If anything, I think it would make you scared as hell to go on a rickety bridge whereas alcohol would make you fearless in that situation.

What are the rates of charms from Spirit Implings, Charm Sprites, and Dorgesh Kaan chests compared to other top notch ways of acquiring charms?

Drunk TIFing is always a good idea. It's best to post in controversial topics when doing so.

Magnolia (1999) It's like a modern Steinbeck Salinas Valley story. Great stuff if you haven't seen it.

Good choice....[bleep] corn syrup.

Today I spent a good hour talking to one of the professors on the review board for graduate studies (who also teaches my Cultural & Intellectual history class) about pretty much everything related to an M.A. program. I'm almost 100% sure I'll be pursuing an M.A. in History after next year. If the M.A. goes well enough, I'm almost positive I'll be pursuing a Ph.D at some point. Oh, and SUMMMMMEERRRRRRR :shades:

Okay, so when you get the Completionist Cape, do a Rhino and a Hydra spawn in your POH??

I watched a few this week that I haven't posted: High Noon (1952)---Much better than I expected, sometimes the black and white westerns take some effort to get through but this one was great. THX 1138 (1971)---Interesting, but not groundbreaking. Dead Poets Society (1989)---One of those movies everyone has seen except me, it was pretty good.

I play my drumset. It's nearly impossible to think about anything else when you're concentrating on playing perfectly :thumbup:

What? I said ruined? What's wrong with saying ruined?

I knew a sailor once, got tangled in the rigging. We pulled him out, but it took him five minutes to cough. He said it was like going home.

And all of them are [bleep]ing terrible and I'd end up ragebanning half the [bleep]wits for general stupidity. Really, they're all stupid. Reason #1 I have NEVER posted in the religion thread. 41 pages and counting; all unread.
