+1. Is this G&L new place?

Actually America has more manufacturing now than we have every had. The difference is some of the well known manufactures have moved off and we are making more specialized stuff. more technical stuff if you will. edited to add: we continue to produce more than anyone in the world, however we are loosing jobs in that sector due to an increase in efficiency (computers, robots, etc.). It is interesting to watch. I can't find the good article I usually refer to but here is a good picture from 2008 http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2009104319/g20-manufacturing-output-capita

Does this count? Cost me quite a but i might add, worth every cent!

Seriously! What's with that sig line Jamie?

Well the job will be good and I'm really excited to get off night shift. That was wearing me thin. Having a normal schedule will be nice. Now if someone knows a Church that needs a Pastor who carries the circle would be complete! I've enjoyed having some time off to be "normal" but I ready to get back to that as well.

Ah, the gift that keeps on giving! As to where all I will say is it is a new gun shop that I'm really excited about! I don't want to step on toes or start anything that will, so I won't say anymore till the owner gets his vendor status and opening date set. Hey Rightwinger! what are you going to be doing with your weekends and evenings?

Never really used it. It works, but the FOV is really narrow and it reduces the eye relief. It's nice to play with, but I leave it off for practical reasons.

You know that you can write off "hobby" items and accessories if you are itemizing.

Now I think you just trying to win KB4NS's title back!

Ah, here you go.

I'm scared to ask what a "raspberry" smilie is.

Jaime, I'd more thank welcome having a debate with you. Problem is forums don't tend to lend themselves well to that kinda discussion. As evidenced in several threads and why TGO David is usually wise to terminate them fairly quickly. On the other hand, sooner or later it comes done to the balance of evidence. There will be no conclusion since the final verdict can ultimately only come after the fact. So, essentially it comes down to faith in the evidence for both sides. I just wished both sides would admit that what they believe, they ultimately accept by faith. The divide is not as large as some think. PS when I use faith i mean in the Biblical sense "evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things not seen."

Just take it on faith that it was done for you benefit.

Start Monday on a new job that promises to be one of the most enjoyable I've ever had! My not make any money, but I'll enjoy every minute of it! I'm sure an official announcement will be forth coming about where it is, so I'll not spill the beans on that. Can't wait! I'm also looking forward to meeting some of you guys ...especially Jaime! Maybe I can sell him some stuff and we can talk Jesus!

No. It was started before.

Yeah those horrible people staying true to their convictions and trying to bring what they believe is a tremendous gift to those who may not have it. How dare they care about others. Just saying, there might be a perspective you don't see in all this.

I'd say ya'll were being pretty dogmatic in your efforts to refute him. So who is the fanatic? The one who passionately post his thoughts or the ones who post four or five to ridicule and attempt to refute him? Just saying. I see very little difference is the dogmatic beliefs of either side. I should add, if he does believe what he says he believes should he not try to give hope to those who have none?

Just what is it you guys so detest about trigem?

you already gummed it up.

Clear some of your PM's!

setsdw, seriously... I said it tongue-in-cheek in what was a good discussion. That is why we use smilies to help differentiate "tone". So yes, it does make a difference. I guess I thought our discussion was a little more light hearted than that. (that means give me a brreak) ....... couldn't resist. j/k

Maybe I misread your intent. It's been a long day, but your insinuation that my self or my "church" would kill someone is a little much. If I took it wrong my apology.

I said it in humor, thus the smilie, and it wasn't a personal attack. Maybe you need to read it again.

Your ignorance shines. This thread has run it's course IMO. I don't mind discussions, but you're crossing the line. Moderators making personal attacks ...nice.
