    Well, I went home and successfully read the forums, but I logged on with a computer that had never visited the site before, just in case they were keying the ban on my registered user ID. here's the thread (in it's entirety). ================================================== From yeldarb12: i am a good painter i just cant get on psp7 right now because i got grounded from the computer with PSP7 on it, althogh i can get on the one with N2002 on it so i need a 2 cars done for me, these babies are teamates. First car: Bradley Thibeau Number: 12 Sponser: NIKE Associate sponsers: Pepsi,Gatorade,skittles,oreo,YAMAHA,nesquick Side Notes: Please make a bright colors like Blues and greens(neon green perferably cuz that is my favorite color) Second car: Trent Legassie Number: 23 Sponser: Oreo Associate sponsers: Pepsi, NIKE, Gatorade, skittles,YAMAHA,nesquick. Side Notes: Please put a milk splash on it( Perferably Rockhounds) Thank you these are for N2002 From Chris_Reed: LOL...........now that is funny. From yeldarb12: What is so funny? From jsimmons: The whole thread is funny (grounded?). Nike has been done at least twice, maybe three times. YAOCWMS (yet another oreo car with milk splash). Why don't you guys be original and ask for something that hasn't been run into the freakin ground? (If he asks for a flames car or a Harley car, I'm gonna puke.) From Ash_Hogan: simmons if you not gonna drive it don't worry about it! From jsimmons: I'm here to say what everyone else seems to be afraid to say for fear of ridicule or some bizarre need to be politically correct. It's a burden that I have chosen to share with others. From Brian_Simpson (a moderator): That's great John, But if you think you are going to come here and belittle other peoples choices and tastes so they fit yours, you are wrong. Please refrain from the attitude. From 30+Fog Hats off to Brian!! From ShoppingCart: ahhh nike, i have a patch that says slavery... the v is the nike swoosh, i wonder what that means... simmons actully has a point to a certain extent. these cars have been done multiple times... just do what i do, steal them, change the number font and pass it off as your own. (if u need help with the slavery thing, it has to do with 3rd world countries and cheap labor... then they turn around and sell it to us for brutal amm

    I often find myself humming something not stupid, but very peculiar - the US national anthem. What's peculiar about it is that I'm not American, nor have I ever been to the US. Whenever I catch myself doing it, I feel :confused:

    Jamie Hale wrote: Canada need stiffer gun laws You really should learn the difference between facts, and what you're told by the media. There is a clear, inverse relationship between per capita violent crime rates and ease of public gun ownership and possesion. In the US, 27 states have passed concealed carry laws in the past few years. Without exception, each and every one experienced an immediate and lasted drop in violent crime. One state, I believe it was New Hampshire, has no gun laws; significantly, it also has the lowest crime rate in the nation. Conversely, New York and California, the two states with the strongest gun regulation (and highest police presence) have the highest crime levels. Each year, the presence of a gun in the hands of an average, law-abiding citizen averts approximately one million crimes in this country. In the vast majority of cases there was no need for firing the weapon. The facts are available, but one has to search for them, as they conflict with the liberal agenda and the media refuse to report them.

    Yeah, I've done that from time to time. It's much easier than trying to make popcorn in a pan with oil or one of those noisy blower things. When I'm at the grocery store I forget to buy more though. I don't use my microwave for real food though, as it tastes like crap.

    ****Colin Davies wrote: schools should teach gun safety to "all" students from a young age I'm all for it! :) We had a little form of gun safety back in 6th grade, but that was with bb guns (though the same rules apply :)) ****Colin Davies wrote: And let them pop of a few rounds to see the damage they can inflict. Sounds good, but they'd have to rig it up so that nothing could get in the way, maybe in an enclosed area with the gun mounted stationary so it can't be aimed elsewhere; otherwise you have 'accidents' :( Maybe even have a member from the state police there holding the weapon as well.

Good analogy of what is called the flatworlders, 2d people aka flatworlders can not imagine a 3rd dimension like we can not imagine a 4th an n+ dimensions. Daniel Ferguson wrote: I remember a little about this. Is there anything besides photons that exhibit this behaviour? I'm pretty sure photons are haven't been prooved to exist, although a lot of research has been done on them. Another form is gravitons which would show similar characteristics.
