Parkie and certain other right-to-life activists aren’t all bad. They aren’t ALWAYS offensive. The world doesn’t begin and end with Big Bertha here…..But…………….

Between Margarine Messiah’s post above – and the bombast and overweening arrogance that befouled the Pharmacy blog, there’s steam comin’ out me pores.

But I’m tryin’ to be good…..I really and truly am…..

‘Cause when I’m bad…..I’m oh, so bad……

So, women who commit abortions have no human decency.

My ex was plethorically promiscuous before January 1973; yet somehow, some way, Roe V. Wade is solely responsible for his moral delinquencies. Are those Supremes responsible for the nearly-34-old child, now residing in Indiana, for whom this pig has taken no responsibility, financially or otherwise?

Okay, just what in the #$%% WAS I back in 1975? I THINK I was human; I certainly didn’t look bovine at 6 feet and 120 pounds.

Gee thanks, Parkay.

You’re a real prince.

Good night; good luck; God bless —
Whatever you conceive God to be!!

Blessings ALL!!

So mote it be!!

As you know Mr. Limbaugh, there are several liberal wacko websites that have nothing better to do than spread ugly rumors about you. I know that no one is perfect, I too once had problems with pain medications, and I’ve had a few skeletons in my closet, just like you do, but please, address these ugly rumors that you go to the Dominican Republic and elsewhere to go on ‘child sex’ tours, and that you were stopped coming back to the U.S. with a suitcase full of viagra.

Just say it Rush, just say it, “I did NOT have sex with those children”

“What is the average or typical enlistement time for the Marines? (U.S. Marine Corp)”

It is 8 years for the initial enlistment contract for all branches. Most often that is 4 years active and 4 years in the IRR. In a more technical MOS where school can be a year long, the time active would be 5 years and 3 inactive.

For reserves it is 6 in the SMCR and 2 in the IRR.

“Does that time include boot camp/basic training?”

That time starts the moment you sign your contract. The day you set foot at boot camp is the day your active time starts. The day you sign your contract your IRR time starts.

So if you sign your contract and don’t go to boot camp for X amount of time, then X will be subtracted from your IRR time after your active service.

“Is boot camp/basic training 13 weeks?”

For the Marines yes. Then you have 2-3 weeks of Marine Combat Training after that. Then you have your MOS school.

“Would the above information have been the same 20 years ago?”

To my knowledge, yes.

Thomas Jefferson invented July 4, by writing the Declaration of Independence for “Independence Day,” and later writing the Constitution, and then patriotically dropping dead on July 4. This is why George W. Bush went to Jefferson’s famous slave brothel, Monticello, to read a July 4 speech that quoted Jefferson except for the part of the quote where Jefferson said Christians were idiots.

Here’s what Bush tried to read while everybody heckled him:

On the 50th anniversary of America’s independence, Thomas Jefferson passed away. But before leaving this world, he explained that the principles of the Declaration of Independence were universal. In one of the final letters of his life, he wrote, “May it be to the world, what I believe it will be — to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all — the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.”

Shrub left out the best part!
The actual letter says this:

May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.</i?

If Nathan is around, I need some Marine info. If he isn’t, anyone who is familiar can answer.

TIA I couldn’t find the answers I needed online and calling a recruiter might result in getting me signed up. :O

13 weeks sounds about right.

Back in the Nam days, I think they were pushing cannon fodder through at 9 weeks. Not sure about 20 years ago.

I think enlistment time is dependent on your career field as an enlisted. The more technical it is (the longer the tech school) the longer the enlistment is. Some schools that are highly technical, can be 18 to 24 months long with lots of post tech school training. (NUKIES in Navy have long tech schools)

Used to be 3 year enlistment for Marines, I think and 2 years, back in the Nam era.

Could be wrong, memory is fuzzy and decades have passed. :)

HLP is a wacky nutcase.

I wonder if he’s managed to find someone to kill with his concealed weapon.

Good luck HLP, perhaps tomorrow you’ll get lucky!

Breaking news: Now, Jim Webb takes himself off Obama’s VP list

Jim Webb, the Virginia senator and former Republican who packs his own heat most places, has withdrawn himself from consideration as Barack Obama’s Democratic vice presidential running mate.

In a statement released moments ago, Webb said: “Last week I communicated to Senator Obama and his presidential campaign my firm intention to remain in the United States Senate, where I believe I am best equipped to serve the people of Virginia and this country.”

“Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for Vice President.”

Webb also promised to campaign hard for the Democratic presidential ticket this fall.

More than likely, whatever the statement meant, it has nothing to do whatsoever with atmospheric pressure anyway. However no matter how you slice it, a measurement with out volume can not contain anything.
——————————
Here you go, put in 32 for PSI, which is standard tire pressure for a lot of American car tires and see the results expressed in different units. :)

I told him the sign of insanity is jumping out of a perfectly good air Plane! My son the airborne!
Two more jumps tomorrow and then Wednesday a night jump, funny the boy did not seem insane but then he is my son it may have rubbed off.

Of course not. I said so basically in my first post. I know what you are getting at. That in a column of air one meter square through the atmosphere an increase in pressure of .42 kg = an increase in content of .42 kg of water in the entire column.

However: from the Wikipedia:
“At the same temperature, a column of dry air will be denser or heavier than a column of air containing any water vapor”

Thus the more water there is in the air, the less atmospheric pressure. Can you see now that something has to be mis-stated in your quotation. An increase in pressure (kg per meter square) means a decrease in actual water in the air. (grams per cubic meter)

Are you claiming that a 1 meter square vertical column, extending from Earth’s surface thru the atmosphere, is not a “volume”?

If so, please tell me what it is.

Not gonna Google it, dumbkopf… YOU made the claim… YOU prove it!! I am not playing your silly game anymore… You dont run this Blog, and I am fed up with your lousy attempts to constantly disrupt even the simplest of conversations… So, go fly a kite!! (in a thuderstorm)

You’re confusing pressure with content, Regular.
Cosmos, you have no idea what you are talking about.

“Absolute humidity is the quantity of water in a particular volume of air” — Wikipedia

“Absolute humidity ranges from 0 gram per cubic meter in dry air to 30 grams per cubic meter (0.03 ounce per cubic foot) when the vapour is saturated at 30 °C.

Note Regular, “grams per cubic meter.”

A statement that something contains an additional.42 kg per square meter is nonsense. Without volume you can’t have mass or content. A statement that something has an additional pressure of .42 kg per square meter is correct.

Then pounds per square inch when inflating a tire is nonsense. :)

I don’t think I’m the one confused here beber.

I was also on an 8PSI Study funded by NASA which took place in an altitude chamber. It was the pressure experimented with to determine what PSI the ’space suits’ that the shuttle mission specialists would be wearing while in space.

But NASA is probably wrong too when it refers to atmospheric pressure eh beber? :)
