  1. I listened to a Talk show on this Question. Should the Government Bail these guys out? Here's what I learned, Most say no. But the Canadian Government Basically has their hands tied in that the States are putting in Moneys to Bail the Companies across the Border. We'd be stupid not to follow suit as you can see ,if I was the Government or Company Id take care of our own first. Detroit Vice Ontario. Secondly, Ford goes down the competition will taker up the slack. Unlike a Bank going down. Now this is unbelievable. A person with benifits is making shy of seventy dollars an hour. When he gets that pension, he will not have paid into it enough to, not warranting moneys coming from else where. The consenses would be, that the Government would give cash under these conditions. Fat Cats dont touch a cent of it. The Union and the worker takes a pay cut. The management has to covince the Government that the money is not going to incure more loses due to Mis-management. Makes sense but that wont happen. CEOs and the Union will look after themselves as usual first. Most listeners figure they should just declare Bankruptcy and start over. This Bailout money is definitely protectism that has the overseas companies steaming. Its one thing that we continuously Bail out Air Canada and Bombardier, but at least they're Canadian.
  2. Instead lets temporarily Bail them out so they can carry on with their traditional Mismanagement. Kind of reminds me of Air Canada. Just Maybe, Just maybe, they should Re-build or finally die. Fact- Auto Workers make way too much money Fact- Without Jap vehicles, the Big three would have 90 Day warranties Fact- Domestic Dealers have ripped off customers for years Fact- Domestic Industry builds cars to break down obviously to sell parts. Fact. I would take my present Toyota, former Nissan, even my Hyundai Pony years ago against any domestic vehicle at the same price range Fact- Its about time that our country isn't totally reliant on the auto Industry to keep us afloat. Because its going to always have problems And Yea I would go nuts pushing a button, but wow the pay is great. Whats your Union doing for you when you loose your Job. Betcha you go to the government for some kind of help while your Union Fat Cat doesnt worry about his job.
  3. It don't matter if they crash and burn. Some Fat Cats will just take the money and start all over again. Greed does not stop. However here what we should see. The big three should do a total revamp. Get rid of 80 percent of their products and rebuild the other 20 percent with the aim of quality. Revamp all their dealers and start serving their customers as customers and not low life suckers. Give their workers a choice of company incentives or a union. Nothing like being loyal to the company instead of the Union. Again give the auto industry our money, who's next in line, Circuit City maybe, there's a good one, the Banks. Of note, do you really think I give a crap about an auto company that tells Americans not to sell to Canadians when our Dollar was Par. I don't forget when our own robs us.
  4. If hes looking for Gophers, hes in the wrong season
  5. This Bailout thing is like an aggressive cancer. Its spreading, word is getting out that we are going to Bailout the fat cats even after they've taken the Money. What peeves me off, is its their fault. The Big three decided to put all their money on SUVs, while the over seas markets not so much. Well guess what Sherlock, with the price of gas who wants a gobbler. Anyways they make way too many models. More is not better. Yea I agree on your statements.
  6. Nice fish thanks for sharing
  7. Sorry to Bump this but I'm still looking for an answer to my Question. Best I got was 88. By the way I bought it legitimetly. Who cares about the history, lets assume its not hot.
  8. ALCOHOL MAY BE A FACTOR
  9. But I like the Hippie. At least he tells it the way he feels about it. Hes allowed to say what he wants. I just like the fact that hes so negative and I still want to hear in his own words what his solution is. All I keep getting is listen or read this video. As far as Roy locking this, maybe nobody hasn't pmd him yet because nobody's feelings have been hurt. By the way, I like these threads. Other Peoples fishing reports get boring after a while. Who knows I might learn something. Never knew what P3TA was till this forum for instance.
  10. I wouldnt worry unless there is an OFC sticker stuck under the bed.
  11. Maybe we should go back to Trading furs for Mirrors. Opps, that means killing animals. I JUST CANT WIN
  12. tta Id like to thank both you and Cram for answering my Question. LundBoy, you remind me of my Brother, but his only excuse is he had brain damage due to an accident when working in Fort St John on jugline looking for oil. I came home one day and he had spikes around his neck and wore leather. After a few beers he bragged about how he was at the GATHERING. He then tells me that there was music, Wacky tobacky, and scientists lecturing in some field North of Mtl. Curiously I said what gathering. He blurts out THE RAINBOW GATHERING. I near choked on my beer. later on he says how I suck off society IE being a soldier. I looks at him and says. But your on Welfare and you never ever paid taxes, ever. You drive without a licence, you always borrow money and never pay it back. That's when he chased me around the camp fire with an axe. My problem with you is how you can con screw things to put your belief across to me or others. First of all, Holdfast is a Radio Pro Word meaning Combat Engineer. We use Holdfasts to secure lines or Ropes to the ground for Gyn and Shears or guy lines. Has Diick to do with Fascists, Congress or any other thing you dreamt of. As far as urban training, if you didnt know the terrorists like the cowards they are will hide with the civilians including Women and Children. You should see what they do to anyone that opposes them As far as using it on our own civilians, Possibly as we sometimes had to replace prison Guards, or break up riots overseas. Don'T forget about the Natives that thought it was OK to shoot at cops. But Canadian Soldiers if ever always AID our CIVILIANS. They can get nasty like the FLQ for instance. Ask my Dad how he felt as a letter Carrier those days when the letter Bomb was the fashionable thing. All I got to say Lundboy is you remind me of a Jehovah Witness going door to door. You can never argue with them because they will take the Bible and con screw that if you question them on anything. By any chance are you young and smoke dope and watch Dr Who
  13. I kind of thought it was a Bayonet, but the knuckle Rings and the lack of Barrel clips, tells me its a Pre Rambo knife. Was it ever GI issued?
  14. So Lundboy and Cram, seems you guys are into the Doom and Gloom. Without sending me a Link of any sorry AAAssss gloom predictors I want to know your take on things. Now I'm a Man that hates complainers, I even hate complainers that are not doers, or have no solutions of their own. A waste of good rations I say. So, my feeling is your not happy with society. Canadian or American I suspect. So.. Whats YOUR solution. What is your Point. And don't quote someone else's crap thanks.
  15. And its been Painted over too
  16. I know one thing I didnt do, That's Christmas shopping at Walmarts or any where else. Totally disgusting, I don't ever remember Christmas Carols, Tree shopping before Remembrance Day. The Kicker is that I didnt see anybody wearing a Poppy working there.
  17. Yaaaa Hoooo Guys those are great fish. Id say a fantastic Day of fishing. Excellent Pics to boot.
  18. Now that's what I call a Deterrent. Unfortunately though the cry babys here will feel more sorry for the Dead guy. I mean the guy in your house with a gun
  19. I don't have a serial number consequently I have no clue of Model and year in order to get parts. I may need an impeller soon. Prety bad when a mechanic cant figure it out but thats my dilema. Its 9.9 and no numbers outside. Inside the cover only is the # ........PC 32BPH or the front On top of the Flywheel is the #....... 68271 Spark plug wire.......... TDT-132 On the Carb..... Japan TK Carburettor CO LTD And on the gear shift side stamped inside below the engine........ 63201 Y-2 stamped I would appreciate any input
  20. Oh, Oh shouldnt of said you agree with me. Now your scum out there. LOL
  21. Ishmal, Take this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-AvcKJnx9I
  22. Yup, then there are medals that should of been given out, like the Somalia medal. .
  23. No Deterrent for them. A case of opportunity for them. Till we get tough on crime this will only increase. I had my garage broken into and my truck window was broken into even though it was unlocked. nothing stolen but just pure vandalism. Too many retards out there with this so called Fetal alcohol syndrome. I say Jail them all. Of note out here, they just let out a sex offender with a history of over 50 related crimes including murdering a five year old. Only in Canada, some bleeding hearts really think that not only should this thing be set free, but not told where hes going to seek residence.
  24. Thanks on the spelling mistake.
