    Iran...

    I believe Iran's motives are not to destroy Israel, or to lead to a war with the 'West' at all. Instead, Iran is trying to become the center of power in the Middle East, a position currently held by Saudi Arabia. Both countries absolutely hate each others guts for a variety of reasons, a main one being their religions; Saudi Arabia is mainly populated by Sunni Muslims, and Iran is Shiite. Right now, many political and business dealings are done through Saudi Arabia. Essentially, if you want something done in the region, the people who will do it for you are the Saudi's. With this power, Saudi Arabi is seen as the representative nation for the Arab population, and Iran would like to take that crown. Iran's rhetoric towards the West, and Israel is similar to Egypt's attitude during the Nasser era. Nasser gave stirring speeches about uniting the Arab world under the banner of Pan-Arabism which would overcome Israel; however, it was merely a domestic, and foreign policy ploy in order to get respect on the world stage as Nasser really had no desire to wage war with Israel at all, because he knew Egypt would not have a chance in hell of winning, and they would lose even more territory to the Israeli's. In my opinion, Iran is merely repeating history. Ahmadinejad has adopted a populist stance which is confrontational, and bombastic... but he is a paper tiger. He appeals to both Pan-Arabs, and the Pan-Islamic crowds, much like his predecessors Nasser, and Hasan al Bana. Iran has no desire for a war with anyone. Trade between Iran and the United States has grown almost ten fold under Bush. It still pales in comparison to trade with China or Canada, but it's still money. The uranium enrichment is just one way to rally Arab's around Iran, because it allows Iran to puff out its chest and look tough. The leaders of Iran are smart enough to know that if they do launch a nuclear missile, or allow a terrorist organization to get their hands on one, the Middle East will be a sheet of glass within a day. Plus, on the bright side... Iran hates al-Qaeda because al-Qaeda is full of Sunni's, and we all know how well those Shiites, and Sunni's get along.
  3. I might get picked on for this, but I think this is the right decision. I love the Camaro, but does it really need that big, stonking engine that is already slated to be in two other vehicles: the Corvette, and the CTS-V?
  4. A Jetta TDI? Although the Prius may have better build quality, and you won't be hassled by freshman-fifteening college chicks.
  5. I'm gonna go to my dealer right now, and give each and every employee a blowjob because they are all just so AWESUM! Hell, I'll even take our Toyota Sienna there too, and show the people at the dealer the leak behind the rear window, and the near-busted climate control system! We'll have grand ol' time, pointing and laughing at me because of course, Toyota's ARE THE BESTEST, and it's always the owners fault when something fails or breaks!
  6. I don't see a future for HUMMER, simply because the name itself is associated with 'gas-guzzling' and excess. I'm sure GM could have remedied that with a product like the H4, or more efficient engines, but instead, they just had to go and make an H3 with a useless box. Whatever brand goes, here's hoping SAAB goes away with it.
  7. Looking sharp! I really like the high beltline.
  8. For the love of Christ and all that is good and Holy, please, please, pleeeeeeeeease don't name THAT... thing an El Camino.
  9. I can hear the fanboys raging over the fact that the Cobalt beat out the BMW 1-Series.
  10. My parents had me try to do the similar stuff for my brothers. Although it was a different program that had features to block links, it still didn't do much good. I also tried fiddling with ports on our network, but it ended up causing more trouble than it was worth. After trying to fight it for a bit, I figured I'd just download them an e-condom (Firefox), and explain to them the sh*t that is out there is not real, etc., and let them use their best judgment.
  11. The motorcycle idea is cool, but I'm not sure if an independent dealer would be too great. Maybe park the bikes next to brand new Silverado's, or hell, park them in the box of the Silverado, and they might just sell themselves.
  12. Does that mean we can kiss any chance of seeing this bad boy come to fruition 'goodbye'? It would've even made a nice Lambda.

  15. Happy Birthday!
  16. Are these speculations by the same people who speculated that buying funds based low interest mortgages was the next big thing?
  17. Wow, you're probably doing your body a lot of hurt. Especially if you're consuming all that caffeine with a supplement that has Nitric Oxide, Arganine, and stuff.
  18. A few of us are trying to get it going, but we're hampered either by connection timeouts, or Java, or other weird technical glitches. Is there any way to get some of the kinks fixed?

  20. Dodgefan and I are in there right now; so it's working for us. Maybe try a system restart? If this keeps up, maybe we can get a separate chatroom that works.
  21. Maybe try Internet Explorer? That's what I did when it timed out on me. :|
  22. I think it works again...
