Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Noble, just because something is YOUR opinion or YOUR thought......doesn't mean the rest of us must think it or agree with it. Once again you're attempting to project your own beliefs onto me. Please do not attempt to say what I think or believe. Example:
Quote:
On the other side of the coin however many bad things have come out of the USA and you can hide your head in the sand about them or you can accept the fact that there needs to be changes made in many areas that will allow the country to be what it really could be.
That is your assumption not my belief nor my statements.

Now, I think you belittle my nation and my countrymen almost every time you post. That is my opinion. Yours may be different.....but that is MY opinion.

I apologise to WCP, to you and to all other Americans for my harsh response to his post.

In my defense, I have found that there is a lot of anti-Canadian sentiment on this forum and elsewhere on the internet and had assumed this was the case with his post. My comment that he lacks knowledge of world affairs outside his doorstep was uncalled for and I really should have known better.

I will try not to knee-jerk a response the next time I see a post that I feel is a slag against my country.
I like Canada and I grew up with some Canadian kids in school.....


I just have a problem with any form of socialism....That's just me.....

I was raised to be self-sufficient and not rely on government...
Unfortunately my work ethic and my belief system are considered "biased" and not Politically Correct.

There is a "change" underway in the US and the social engineers want people like me to just go away quietly........

Odd remark from someone who has a self-proclaimed disdain for "liberals".

If you think the Democrats here are unbearable, just visit Canada and you will see that even the rural people talk politics like they were born in the Bronx.

America is one of the most Socialist countries on earth.

The USA has been socialist since at least FDR and the "New Deal".

Lots of Americans seem to be railing against "Socialism" while demanding and cashing their Social Security checks.

Quote:
Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The "ideas" or "cognitions" in question may include attitudes and beliefs, the awareness of one's behavior, and facts. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.[1] Cognitive dissonance theory is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology.

I doubt I'll ever see the money I paid into SS......

Juan and Jose might be spending my check as we debate....

Speaking of paying and not receiving.....
Did you know that Cali small business owners are required to pay into UEI...but can't collect?

Hmmmm...that's fair right??????
Because every small biz owner is rich.....well according to Cali's liberal lawmakers...

Really.......

I have no problem with liberals unless they're extremist like Ayers, Obama, Soros, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Baca, both Sanchez's, Rachel Maddow, Oberman, Matthews.....


I recently heard an interview with Michael Moore....although his views are about 180* from mine... he presented a reasonable argument...and Alan Combs is reasonable as well....

The liberal who wants to separate me from my wallet; tell me who I have to hire or not hire; demand I stop talking about illegal immigration; demand I stop driving my rig because it causes global climate change.......is the liberal to whom I take an issue....

I'm becoming more convinced that there is only one liberal poster on the board posting under several nicks. They present the same arguments in the same way word for word right down to that "Cognitive dissonance" quote. Not that a true liberal could ever come up with anything new or original.

Have a good time in Hotlanta but before you leave please enumerate precisely what in those towers (including jet fuel) contained sufficient BTUs to combust at 1800 degrees or higher? Or even anywhere close to that?

You may want to do a little fact checking on this RK; it could prove to be eye opening...

Seems RK ain't the only one who needs to read up on stuff.

I doubt, however, that your eyes will be opened.

It's about the "heat" not the "temperature"...

Did anyone else besides me see the images of the beams that were twisted?

The building collapsed not from demo charges...the support beams structural integrity were compromised...from the exposure to excessive heat damage......

Remember.....metals are made up of crystals....heat can change the structure of the crystals to either cause them to strengthen or weaken......

How hard is this to understand.....I can't go below the 6th grade explanation...I'm sorry for the rest of you who just don't get it......

I guess you are not a welder. Extreme heat dissipates pretty fast.
