54Gasoline Price in your area
by JH inyesterday alone the price of gasoline went up 9 cents a liter here in eastern canada passing from 68 to 77 cents a liter.
a one day jump of 9 cents a liter is equal to about 40 cents a gallon.
so now we pay 77 cents a liter or 3.50$ a canadian gallon.

Wishing you all a happy holiday season no matter what your beliefs!
Myself and a friend made my home festive. For the first time in my life I have Christmas lights on my house. I even have stockings hung on my mantle for me and my pets. Garland? (spelling) hell I didn't know what that was. My huge 3 ft. fake Christmas tree kicks ass with my Star Wars ornaments and multi-colored lights.
I wished the woman at the Wendy's drive through Merry Christmas.
For those who have recently, or not-so-recently, (I'm not out recently but just let go of it this year) came out or have finally let go of the JW heavy burden of guilt and supression, please share your happy feelings and thoughts on this festive season.
Fa La La La, La La La!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

The mother of all gripes
by kenpodragon ini personally feel that the single biggest problem in modern society, is the lack of taking personal responsibility for our own actions.
i think that as a culture we have allowed people the room to make excuse after excuse, and accept these as something that should be legit.
well w e see kids raised in families that love them, feed them, take care of them to the best of their means.

When they put to death all those on "death row" is when people will start being accountable for thier actions.
I guarantee, if you were executed within 3 months time of your haneous crime a lot of the BS would stop.
Just my 2 cents, TT.

The best weapon by far
by DJ inhi guys,.

as a jw, i was better than everyone in the world because i was no part of the world simply by virtue of my dubdom.

((((((DJ))))))
I have two 88 year old JW grandparents, I will definately go to the funeral talk when the time arives. I'll just put the brain in off mode as the religious views spew forth. I'm wondering if the Jan-March witch hunt will change me to DA?.......I'll go sit right in the front row with my family and be DAMNED if anyone tells me where I can or can't sit or anything for that matter.
It seems you're not DF or DA if they can benefit from you but after that they throw you out with the rest of the garbage. Hating someone who is loving and caring just because you don't share their beliefs may one day get them to do some thinking. Hang in there.

Is it a gamble?
by link ina jw family member tells me that dealing in stocks and shares = placing capital at risk in the hope of obtaining financial reward without working.
he claims that it is therefore unchristian.. is this view correct?
apart from stocks and bonds donated to it, is there any evidence that the society uses subscriptions to deal on the markets?.

You'd want to work because:
Any capital gains are taxed, then since it's your income you get taxed again. Mutual funds should return on average 8% so you'd need to have 300-400k invested to make around 30k before taxes.
The stock market is low risk - what's high risk is day trading, individual company investing, and short term investing. Mutual funds are designed to lower risk by having shares in a number of different sectors of the market. The trend of the market is always "UP" if you look at the history.

Irresponsible Parents!
by TTBoy ini know i'm going to get a few "you're an asshole" responses but bear with and read and than decide if i performened a greater good or wrong.. situation:.
i'm driving down the main road to my side street.
i have some retard mom driving a mini-van following me with an 8-10 year old child in the front seat.. i approach a stop light (red) and this bitch (irresponsible parent) riding my ass.

I made no mistake nor am I angry. What I did is inconsequential to the lack of responsibility shown by this parent. I'm sure all of you will make sure your children are buckled in. because you are responsible Also you won't tail gate people no matter who is in your car. What I did plays no part in the equation of:
Stupid Parent + Child Not Buckled = Potential Life Threatening Situation for the Child
What ifs - who did what - what were the circumstances -none of this means anything.

If I could have gotton a liscence plate that said "asshole" I would have but they don't allow it. NOTY BOY was as best I could come up with.
The whole reason I did it was becausing she was riding my ass as I was approaching a RED light. Like I said I didn't know the kid was a potential flying object.
Was I wrong for doing this? - NO. I have every right to stop my car when, where, and as fast as I want. It's the person's responsibility behind me to allow enough room to safely stop their vehicle. That's why that law was made faulting drivers who rear-end for not "allowing assured clear distance" or "to fast for conditions". The best would be if they were uninsured that way I could take everything they own and garnish their wages to pay for my damage. (OWWW my neck hurts) Morally or ethically wrong? Don't impose yours on me.
If she had hit me, I really don't care, it can be fixed. I have a spare anyway though it doesn't brake as well but I'm sure I can still get someone to rear-end me in it. I'd of laughed at her. She'd lose her insurance, get the points on her liscence, and have to pay for it all, not me. One less moron on the road that I don't have to deal with. Would the kid have got hurt? I don't know, she should have had his belt on. Is it my job to make people safe and responsible drivers? - no. But I do my best. If someone did that to me would I be pissed? Yea - but it won't happen because I don't tail-gate and all my passangers must wear their seatbelt.
Anyway, I think some of you need to rethink the situation. Go 10-15 MPH and hit your brakes, you can stop in like 3 feet maybe 10 feet with reaction time. That's a car length, why would you follow anyone closer than that? She was aproaching a red light, she was looking ahead, and was already braking. It's not like I was on the highway and braked for no reason. (though that's fun too - I've never seen people move from the speed lane to the slow lane so fast and quit tail-gating people).
The whole point is that she should have had the child belted in no matter what. Yea, I did do her a favor/wake up call unintentionally. You may not agree but that's what I think. Better what happened than her have a serious accident and she has to visit her child's grave.
I'm damn proud I can stop 70-0 in 160 FT. I only have 11" rotors on the back though- I was wrong. They're also vented in addition to being drilled, ABS, and over 3FT of lateral tire-to-road contact area. I didn't expect people to agree with me. Hell I could have lied and just said I had to stop fast but I'd rather tell it how it is.
I also have a lot of creative ways to get dents and damage on you car fixed at the expense of other people. Any side damage can be easy fixed by driving in an area with a double turn lane for an afternoon. If you find the right intersection you can get nearly any part of your car fixed for free.

So depressed...(world conditions)
by DanTheMan intoday was one of the hardest days i've had yet since leaving jw.
i was barely able to work, and i have a knot in my stomach.. i look at the world situation and i feel so hopeless and helpless.
knowing there are millions of people outside of the u.s. that, if you were to put a button in front of them that had a label below it that said "kill every man woman and child in the u.s.a." that they wouldn't even hesitate to press it.. i wonder where it will end.

I know I'm going to get a few "you're an asshole" responses but bear with and read and than decide if I performened a greater good or wrong.
SITUATION:
I'm driving down the main road to my side street. I have some retard mom driving a mini-van following me with an 8-10 year old child in the front seat.
I approach a stop light (red) and this bitch (irresponsible parent) riding my ass. I see the child but did not notice he did not have his seat belt on. I saw that she did. I know because she was riding my ass rushing to a red light while I was coasting to it and I was watching her in the rear veiw mirror.
So about 10 ft. from that large white line you're supposed to stop in front of I hit my brakes hard at @10 miles/hour. I have a car with 13" disks all around drilled rotors so I can stop on a dime. Now remember this is only 10 feet sooner that I should have stopped. She should have been at least 3 car lengths from me which is around 30 feet.
Well the POS mini-van, that has no stopping capability, almost hits me and guess what?! This irresponsible parent didn't have the child's seat belt on!!!!!!!!!!!! He touched the dash board with his hands. Nothing serious but it was enough for his mom to freak out. She immediately started yelling and I saw him start to grab the seat belt after she was stopped. Ummmmm I think that's a little too late!!!!! At this point I was mad because this bitch had a child in the fromt seat with his belt off.
I turned around, out stretched my FASTENED seat belt, pointed at it, than proceded to flip her off! I felt bad about the kid but here's why I think I did a greater good.
From that experience I can almost guarantee she went home and told her husband some punk, sports car driving, asshole, almost caused her to get in an accident and almost hurt her child. I would hope she will never have that child without a seatbelt on in the front seat or any other seat in any car she operates.
What if she had been on the highway and had to take evasive action (nevermind it was a clueless driver in a mini-van) - perform emergency braking at 60-70 MPH? That child could have been killed! What if someone really jammed on the brakes in front of her while she was riding their ass and that kid went through the wind shield?
Yea I know "what if" philosophy isn't an excuse but think about it. I really didn't know the child didn't have his seat belt on but maybe I saved that child's life in some future circumstance. Maybe that mom will be more responsible. Or maybe I'm truely an asshole. I don't know.
