I am NOT a sexist or a bigot. However, as someone who went through gender integrated basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC, I can tell you this about it.

IT DOES NOT WORK.

The idea behind it was that men and women will work together, so why not train them together? However, IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE.

You can't put men and women together in a place where they are temporarily deprived of all priveleges and then tell them they can't fraternize and expect everyone to comply. It's not going to happen. Yes, maybe it's a matter of self control, but it's different when you know what someone is going to do.

Another thing is physical limitations. When the males and females got "smoked" together, they had to end it early because of the females, so it wasn't really instilling discpline into the males.

The Marines are the only branch doing it right when it comes to basic/boot camp and gender. Not only is it segragated, but only male DI's train male recruits, while female DI's train females.

I was watching this episode of 40$ a day on Food Network hosted by Rachael Ray and she was in Washington, DC I believe. Anyways, to travel she used this scooter type thing. It had two big wheels and it was pink all over. All she had to do was lean forwards a little bit and the scooter would begin driving.
Does anyone know what these are called and where (and if) they're avaliable to purchase?

Since you feel it is your duty to attack Liberals and Democrats all the time! How is it that you really think you are so much better, and have the right to do so? I defend when we are attacked! It seems that sarcasm is your favorite form of attack!
Don't you agree we could accomplish much more without the back and forth?

Two fleas from Detroit had an agreement to meet every winter in Miami for a vacation.



Last year when one flea gets to Miami , he's all blue, shivering and shaking, damn near frozen to death!

The other flea asks him, "What the hell happened to you?"

The first flea says, "I rode down here from New York in the moustache of a guy on a Harley."

The other flea responds saying," That's the worst way to travel. Try what I do. Go to the Metro airport bar. Have a few drinks. While you are there, look for a nice stewardess. Crawl up her leg and nestle in where it's warm and cozy. It's the best way to travel that I can think of."

The first flea thanks the second flea and says he will give it a try next winter.

A year goes by...when the first flea shows up in Miami he is all blue, and shivering and shaking again. Damn near froze to death.

The second flea says, "Didn't you try what I told you?"

Yes," says the first flea, "I did exactly as you said...I went to the Metro airport bar. I had a few drinks. Finally, this nice young stewardess came in. I crawled right up to her warm cozy spot. It was so nice and warm that I fell asleep immediately.

When I woke up, I was back in the moustache of the guy on the Harley."

I have a dell with two processors (it's a workstation, and I don't mean dual-core) that I want to use for gaming. My question is, wont having two processors take up a lot of power along with the video card? Here are the basic specs:

Two Xeon CPUs at 3ghz
3 gigs of RAM

And the video card I want is an 8800gts (320mb). According to dell, the power supply is 650 watts. Is that enough?

The two above people are current and former leaders of North Korea, respectively. The North Koreans worship them as Gods in their country.
Any misdemenor, no matter how small is a death sentence, not only for the offender but his/her whole extended family.
The people starve and die everyday while Kim Jong Il indulges himself in a lavish lifestyle.
Foreign imports are banned while he himself owns 1000's of imported limos, luxuries and prostitutes.
He has created a hate impression of Americans in his country and blames America for a divided Korea while the truth is that America saved the South from the tyranny of the North.

What are your views on this?
Do the North Koreans worship the Kims out of fear of being prosecuted or do they really love them?
Do you think Kim Jong II should suffer the same fate as Saddam Hussian?
Would you call Kim Jong a great leader or a great shame?
Do you think the people will hold the same reverence for him if the Americans dispose him off?

I already know it is not the condensor or compressor or anything else in the AC system itself. Those all work fine. It is just the blower motor or something connected to it that is not working. When it first broke, I could get the a/c to blow out a little by banging really hard on the dash board. It was not as hard as it should have been, but at least it worked. Now that won't even work. My questions are: 1) Is it the blower motor or could it be something cheaper/simpler than the blower motor? 2) If it is the blower motor, where the hell is the little sucker? 3) How much should it cost, parts and labor to repair it if I can't do it myself (which is a safe bet?) thanks!!!!

We rent now, and we want to buy a house. One of us prefers the new-builds and one prefers the older houses, so which house sounds like a better deal? Consider price, investment, area, etc... They will both cost about the same monthly payment, and are similar distance from work, freeways, airport, downtown, etc

New-build house: On outskirts of town where there's lots of new developing, shopping, etc. We qualify for 1% down, interest-only, least out-of-pocket as possible. No hidden structural surprises, which would be defects covered under warranty. Pick colors/carpets/floorplan, design center, etc.

Older house: Closer to central metropolitan area, so it's near other older structures, and some pockets of crime & crummy apartments. We will be lucky to get in with 3% down, and hope to talk seller into paying closing costs. Not "energy efficient" and this is the desert where the AC bills get up to almost $500 in July/August even though it's only 83 degrees in the house during day.
