First off, sorry for the absence, I have really busy andhave not seen a article that has really grabbed my attention. About 12,000 Americans will be shot to death this year. Iwould like to know more about this figure. How many will be shot because ofaccidents? How many will be shot becauseof self-defense? How many will be shot in cold blooded murder? I find it funny and very dumb that someone thinks it is okto sue a gun maker because a gun kills their loved one. In what w...
In case you have not heard, a Michigan woman is suing Mars because; it caused her to develop Temporal Mandible Joint Dysfunction and “permanent personal injuries”. Come the foo-foo on!

He is a nut job and his previous movies are way out there. 2: I have read lots of write ups on his previous movies and do not seem very good to me. 3: I think he has finally might have made a well thought out movie that I am really considering seeing. 4: I am not feeling sick or unwell... I think. Despite all his eccentricities, Micheal Moore ha...
Ok, Let's start taking apart this news story. First off, I am glad Boeing is helping on the operation of the system. The Army does not have anybody trained to use this system yet. Let alone fix any problems with it. With Boeing being there to fix and partially operate the system is a good thing. They are not only able to spot problems but able to come up with solutions to bugs in the system. This is not the first (nor the last) military system that the company built, that they are a b...
