  1. Let me approach American education from a different perspective. I've lived in foreign countries, and have witnessed how other cultures work. There is waaaay too much competition for education in America, K-12. Here are a few examples. Almost every kid here has 200 channels of TV, countless movies and music,stereos,school sports,cell phones,internet,Facebook,YouTube,video games,skateboards,bicycles,dirt bikes,ATV's,UTV's, boats,skiing,fishing,hunting,guns,camping,backyard playground items,pools,animals to play with and take care of,cars,trucks,toys,K-horns-Haha,all of our major sporting events and great entertainers,both parents working. Most countries don't have all these luxuries and distractions. The kids just go to school, come home and study...

    RIP Burt Reynolds

    RIP Bandit. So many great early movies. White Lightning, is an absolute hidden gem ! He turned down being James Bond, after Sean Connery left. Hmm, that would have been interesting...
  5. I'll never understand why a warning label, makes people freak out. Geez, it's just a warning label. They are on almost everything we buy...
  6. Clearly the Bose Wave Radio, is the choice here. With it's Wave length, it beats any horn with ease...

    What I Got Today!

    Tried that, didn't work. Was fun trying, tho...
  9. My Jubes are ugh-oh's ? That's a little hurtful, I'm gonna go cry a little...
  10. Oh snap. @AHall. The little woman seen your room, and says I should get that big bass thing (1802) and put one between my Jubilee's. I hope Cory doesn't see this...

    She said that would be a reward, and might encourage more bad behavior...

    What I Got Today!

    I got dusted ! The little woman decided to use the riding mower, in the morning while it was cool and the windows were open. Sad Jube. She has taken full responsibility, and has agreed a punishment is in order. Hmm...
  14. Me too. I have the jumbo set 1"-1 1/2. They are right perty. When a friend wants to borrow them, I only loan them the cheap ones. lol.
  15. Craftsman tools, when there was a reason to go to Sears. They were decent tools for the money. No more, unfortunately. Snap On rules, when I was wrenching nothing else came close. The truck came by every week to sell tools, and so us mechanics could pay our weekly bill...
  16. Yes, that's fair. As long as people are being reasonable. To pay 5K, and turn around and flip it for 10K, (as an example) just rubs me the wrong way. I guess I'd be a terrible used car salesman...
  17. That would make him a dishonest scammer in my book. That's not making an honest buck. Just my 2 cents, no offense intended. C'mon, Karma ! Hope he has to sell em at a loss, and a fellow audio enthusiast can live their dream...
  18. Does it enhance sound quality for music ? I keep hoping for a new audio format, but with current CD sales it may be a while...
  19. Maybe they can take that 25% off tag on the KLF 10's in the background, and apply it to the KP-301's... That would be reasonable.
  20. I hope I can afford a Blu ray player, someday...
  21. It's not how fast you mow, it's how well you mow fast. My LS1's with a sub, at 85db is impressive. My boombox on my toolbox will play 85 db, and will drive me crazy. Could not turn the volume down fast enough...
  22. My three Army buddies and myself, came up with a phrase for it. B ecause yoU D eserve W hat E very I ndividual S hould E njoy R egularly Ahh, to be young and dumb again...
  23. I don't think so, but I don't know you that well. If God doesn't have a sense of humor, we're all screwed !
