I just found out that if you change lanes the camera cant tell how fast you were going! no way!!! but its true ive seen it a proper report this was probly already on the news and i just missed it. but basically it states that the camera can only look at one lane so after you pass through the first camera it clocks ya but if you change lanes before the second one it cant, it also says that this problem was noticed before they started using them but the cameras are to expensive to have one per lane!!! and so say on a two lane carrigeway there is only one camera looking at one lane and on a three lane carrigeway there might be two cameras looking at two of the lanes. has anyone else heard this?

Not only that, but they bring them into their otherwise white homes! How immoral is that?!? Shouldn't it be illegal?

This is a generalization folks, at least of those 'religion hippies' that openly try way to f-ing hard to get the media's attention (i.e. Terry Shaivo scenario or w/e). Don't try putting this question down, because that will only reinforce this into fact and show that some tampon has been shoved up your rectum. I'm not putting down the religion itself, I'm merely thinking of pointing out the hypocrisy of when such Christians critisize other passionate believers of other religions or groups of the same thing. Unless, of course, you are completely aware of your hypocrisy and would like to stop yourself and are just trying to point out the same problem to other people just as reminder to stop yourself from so called problem.

I would like to know the opinion of others from a non-uptight point of view. Even though you may be one of those uptight unfortunate beings, give not being uptight a try and answer my question(s).

I am an American and am not fond of nuclear weapons, but I don't understand why everyone is acting like North Korea doesn't have the right to have them. Aren't they their own country? Did they sign some treaty stating they would not own nuclear weapons?

Looking at this fat little pudgy-faced as*wipe makes me want to laugh. He has a million-man army, a couple of nukes and still can't get anybody to take him seriously! His starving people will eventually get tired of him and his demise will undoubtedly be very unpleasant. I can almost hear him begging now....

I don't personally think this will happen because terrorists are not in the habit of warning before they attack - otherwise, it is not terrorism. Are there others who believe this will occur?

It just unsettles me that an Alien would get his first glimpse of
humanity from JJ on "Good Times", or a chorus of an ABBA
song.......Radio waves have been expanding in a sphere 170
light years across at this point, from earth.
The strange thing is, if we annihilated outselves by nuclear war,
and the human race became extinct, our radio and tv messages would still continue to expand throughout space.
We could blow up in 20 years, and in 20 million years some alien
could "watch" a PeeWee's Playhouse episode!

My question is, do the signals lose strength over time, or are they essentially infinitely decodable and expanding?

I know this is heavy stuff, but better than wasting time thinging about b u l l s h i t......

Have you heard that a Cosmic Trigger is occurring today? Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength TODAY.

I'm not asking if you believe in it or not, I'm wondering something....

I'm just curious, if you were to CHOOSE your thoughts, emotions, intents, dreams today, what would that look/feel like?
