I would buy speakers finished in packing tape and old bumper stickers if I were blown away by the sound. To me, nice looks are a bonus rather than a main criteria.

No, we have not been led astray. The war is divisive because it is wrong. (If Bush is replaced by a democrat, the other half of you will despise him or her, hence my use of "either half".)

More A/Bing has convinced me that the Mirage soundstage/imaging trumps all other factors. My next upgrade will have to be within the Mirage line (unfortunately, the next step up is the OM15s, which are over 4X the MSRP of my 350s and never on sale.:()

Patriotism means wanting what is best for the country. That is why opposing the war is patriotic. Resistance to the pledge centers around the line "under god". Take that out, and nobody will have a valid reason to object to it.

That kind of unity would be great, but it isn't going to happen during an inherently divisive war, or with a president that half of us despise (either half.)

It is not through news stories that I hear about these incidents, but through word of mouth. Usually from rednecks who think it is funny.:( Also, more than actual violence is involved. It is common for me to hear people muttering "g*dd@mned raghead", even when the target of their bigotry is a...

What is the point of posting all these gag-inducingly ignorant stickers?:eek:

Oh, and just to be clear, I absolutely support our troops. It is the idiots in Washington sending those troops to die for no reason that I will never support.

Precisely. Which is why fighting an idiotic war will do nothing to slow them down. The next 9/11 is likely to be by people who "homeland security" never noticed at all.

Once again, you are rather hopelessly confused. I have not singled out anybody, merely pointed out the fact that many others do. You are also reinforcing my point, as all the peoples you listed have become targets for violence by bigots and abuse by authorities. (The way that those of middle...

I have never started. You are merely wrong (wrong in a mundane, boring sort of way, rather than anything to get excited about.)

No, you are wrong as usual. I am not categorizing anybody by their looks. I am merely pointing out that there are many who do. Someone who looks like they might be Iraqi has to worry about being beaten up wherever they go in this country, and is likely to be searched if they set foot in an airport.

You have it backwards. I (and my fellow liberals) are the ones who have sense. You right-wingers are the ones we are trying to talk some sense into, but I agree it isn't working. Instead of "look islamic", I should have said "look middle-eastern". As far as bigots and police are concerned...

There is a thread about tailgating. This isn't it.

Nobody knows if communism would work, because it has never been tried. The so-called "communist" countries are (or have been) much closer to dictatorships, especially Stalin's Russia. No, I am not communist. Merely pro-personal-freedom, anti-war, and pro environment. I am too young to have been...

It is right-wingers who look like fools. Always have, always will. Sadly, while some fools are funny, they are humorless and malicious. We may be "neck deep" into it, but there has never been a valid reason not to simply pull out at any time in the last 5 years. The so-called president keeps...

The amount of money saved by not fighting pointless wars that accomplish nothing for the American people, and by reducing the military to a level appropriate for defense instead of imperialism would be sufficient to pay for all other democratic programs, eliminating the need for tax increases...

How can anyone possibly know how speakers that haven't even been released yet will "stack up"?:confused:

If you are definining "not viable" as "not republican" then this statement makes sense. Otherwise, it does not. As for pulling out and letting the chips fall where they may, I say yes, that is the best plan. People were killing each other in the middle east long before we got there, and will...

They are among the worst offenders for recommending exotic cables and equipment racks. They even carried an ad for blocks to raise cables off the floor! Nowdays, I read TAS for the pictures and for laughs.
