texas dude___ what is your opinion of manual versus automatic 4X4 ATVs? My Big Bear 400 almost got me killed a couple times because I had to downshift on a steep side hill. If I had an automatic I wouldn't have rolled it over my head backwards while trying to climb a field to see if it was deer or a human crossing the field in the moonlight. My buddy didn't come in untli late after dark. And I headed out to search. Turns out he stayed in stand because too many were grazing after light by him. But I tried to climb a hill before downshifting. Big mistake with a four wheeler.
Anyway, Halloween is coming soon. Good time for bow season.
Russia is now the victim of Islam with the deaths of 26 of its citizens killed by Muslims.The Train travelling between Moscow and St Petersburg was derailed after Evil Muslims planted a bomb on the train track.
For some reason, it is not on the mainstream press. I wonder why. There is this one city in Russia who had 200 deaths from Muslim suicide bombers in the past several months. I saw that on BBC.
Hey, Nasfan. If there is racism, it is on this thread. Look for mine.
A sparrow farted in my garden yesterday, was it a muslim sparrow, the forum (SOOTY) racist seems to blame all else on the muslims etc!
As of today no body has claimed responsibility and it seems that it was a homemade bomb ..... hardly the trademark of professional terrorists so, come on, SOOTY, how have you determined it was Muslims responsible and where is your evidence?

TVER, Russia — A day after investigators determined that the deadly crash of a luxury train was caused by a homemade bomb, relatives of victims arrived in this regional capital on Sunday to carry out the tearful process of identifying the remains.
Martin most bombs used by Terrorists are home made. When are you guys going to get a clue in Europe, look at your own history with Muslims. Did they forget to teach you that in school?
Since 9/11 there have over 14,000 deadly Islamic attacks. Far more than the debate muzzy and I got in regarding the Provisional IRA and 2000 deaths over a 20 year period. Some of you in Europe need to pull your heads out of the Sand and stand up to the menace at the door and not worry about a guy like Geert Wilders who is telling you the truth.
This is just a snippet of what's happened in the last few days.
2009.11.27 (Bologoye, Russia) - Twenty-six passengers are killed when suspected Chechan terrorists derail a train with a bomb.
2009.11.27 (Farah, Afghanistan) - Three Afghanis are taken out by a Fedayeen suicide bomber.
2009.11.27 (Bajaur, Pakistan) - A tribal leader is assassinated by Taliban bombers at a mosque.
2009.11.26 (Iskandariya, Iraq) - Children are among the casualites when Sunni radicals set off a bomb at a crowded marketplace.
2009.11.26 (Yousifiya, Iraq) - Jihadis explode a car bomb at a bus stop, killing two Iraqis.
2009.11.26 (Yala, Thailand) - Islamists shoot a 62-year-old civilian to death as he is riding a motorbike.
So Martin, Muzzy, is this proof enough our should I list the 14000 attacks in chronological order for you to digest???
RB now I understand your difficulty. Mainstream press for your information. Also Please, I just read the Poetry Thread, please show me where the white man was keeping you down? The racism there was scary.
My comment was directed at the racist ignoramus a.k.a. SOOTY who has no interest in FSU dating and only posts his racist propoganda here.
Of course any terrorism in Russia immediately makes people think 'Chechnya' but the ignoramus wasn't happy to point his finger in the direction of Chechnya, he pointed his finger at all muslims worldwide.
It isn't known yet who was responsible for this train incident, responsible adults wait for hard facts, beyond reasonable doubt, but then there's responsible adults and then there's SOOTY!
I'm not getting in to the for or against muslim debate, that's a debate that will go on long after you and I depart this earth, I'd prefer to occupy my time getting on with my life :)
I knew that the Swiss ban on the construction of minarets would please some of the boys here. For myself, I am pleased and proud to live in a country where such a ban would almost certainly be found unconstitutional.
Only because we've given up our sovereignty to a Activist Judiciary. Congress controls what the courts can and cannot hear. Though congress can be a gutless lot. They are afraid to challenge the supreme court.
I guess you supported the Dred Scott Decision Durak.
Because I was born rather later than the Dred Scott case, I'm not certain whether I would have supported the Supreme Court's ruling, or not.
As it happens, my great grandfather was a Union soldier, in at least 5 of the great battles of the Civil War.
Over time, both the Constitution and its interpretation have moved in the direction of expansion and protection of individual liberty. In my opinion, this is a great thing. The United States protects freedom of religion in ways that people in most countries could only dream about. BTW, many religious idiots don't understand that the the intention of the establishment cause (separation of church and state) was to protect churches from government, not the other way around.
By keeping these institutions separate, we ensure that no religion can become "preferred" in the eyes of government. In my opinion, this is a great thing.
During the presidencies of George Washington and John Adams, the United States drafted and signed, and the US Senate ratified, the Treaty of Tripoli, including the words (Article 11) "As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity of Musselmen [Muslims]..." This language was no secret: the entire treaty was published in several newspapers.
I take deep pride in American traditions of liberty.
Durak Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli is used by Atheists for their lame arguement. There is nowhere in the constitution that says separation of Chruch and state, that was penned by Thomas Jefferson when he was thanking the Baptists for their support in his election to the presidency. Funny Jefferson penning a thank you to the Baptists who supported him. He was proclaimed in many newspapers in MA. as a Atheist, an agnostic whatever, during one of the most acrimonious elections ever in American History.
Nor is God mentioned in the constitution. The amendment states that congress shall make no law with respect to religion, nor the free excerise there of. There are no guarantees for religious freedom in the constitution. What that means is no government involvement.
The penning of the article 11, which is not in the Arabic translation, was done by Adams, not Washington in appeasement. You will note that the treaty only lasted a few years, until Madison got tired of the horseshit and laid the wood to the Barbary pirates. Also the penning meant that it was not a war because of religion.
You cant take your deep pride in you traditions of repression. Especially citing something as ambiguous as the Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, geesh I expected more out of you.
You neglected to mention in Article 10 that we paid bribe money to the Pirates of the Barbary.
What the amendments' intention was Government Neutrality in religious matters. That includes the courts. Though we have seen the supreme court create legislation that isn't even their constitutional right. Though most Americans live with their heads in the sand. I simply refer to Churchills, The river wars and his observation of Islam. It's kind of like those who have never worn the uniform of the armed Services in the United States or the Police. The people support all the same. It falls the same way with Islam.
Obama is showing his Islamist sympathies. His decision to try Islamist Major Hassan in a military court martial, as opposed to federal court. Obama no doubt made this decision for one very good reason. If Hasan is convicted and if he is sentenced to death, only the President of the United States has the authority to ultimately condemn him to the gallows. Not so in federal court, where a federal judge has this authority.
Hasan will live a fairly good life at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. He will be afforded three halal meals per day, meals prepared in accordance with strict Islamic purity laws. He will be allowed to pray five times per day; visits by an Islamic Chaplain on demand and of course, he will have his Koran, Haddith and Sunnah as well as any other Islamic texts he might demand. He will have the right to wear Islamic garb and will be allowed to grow his hair and beard per Islamic customs and traditions. He will likely have access to Al-Jazeera TV, Islamic newspapers and other publications. He will be allowed to assume the role of a living Muslim martyr
