Comment FOOLS! FOOLS! American and British FOOLS! (Score 1) 93

Why are you allowing yourself to make ANY statements to cops? You FOOLISH answer: Well, if I refuse to make statements, the cops will think I am guilty. They think you are guilty regardless of whether you make statements are not. The only thing you are doing is giving them statements that they are going to scrutinize and try to use to entrap you. As any good lawyer will tell you, NEVER make statements to cops or prosecutors. "ProPublica has determined that dozens of state and local agencies have purchased "SCAN" training from a company called LSI for reviewing a suspect's written statements -- even though there's no scientific evidence that it works." Have you ever heard of the lie detector? There is also "no scientific evidence that it works", yet cops and governments continue to use these phony machines, and what is worse, people continually submit to these machines, even though there have been several studies showing that they do not work. The problem with people is that they don't have a backbone whereby they can tell cops and prosecutors to take a flying leap into hell. All they know is how to try to use brute force to get people to confess to crimes. All it takes in many countries is to exercise their right to remain silent at the very beginning of any questions from cops.

I Wonder if Ford will make major parts out of the hulls? I worked with a fellow in the early 70s who drove a medium size Plymouth. I noticed that he didn't bring his car to work for several days, so I asked him where it was. He said that he had stripped his distributor worm gear and was in the process of fixing it. I said that it was hard to believe that a worm gear could be stripped. He said that Chrysler made the gears out of fiber board because it made the gear quieter. I saw through this as just a cheap way of producing worm gears. I never in my entire life have bought a Chrysler as a result. Since I don't know what Ford will be making out of 'Used Coffee Bean Husks', I won't be buying a Ford again either.

I used to have to sometimes drive trucks working as a supervisor for a truck driver leasing company. There is a company in Houston that does this kind of sewer pipe lining. The odor it puts off is only during the initial lining and once the lining has dried shortly there after, there are no more fumes. If someone is being affected by fumes in an office, they should evacuate the office. If the boss says no, are you so stupid to stay in an environment that is obviously damaging your health? Anonymously call the police if necessary to try to get them to evacuate the office.

As a steak loving, lifetime of eating steak Texan who is 73 and in very good health, with both sides of my steak eating relatives living into their 80s, 90s, and one to 106, I can attest that eating red meat does not hurt you. Possibly they mean if you don't cook it first.

Comment 1969 (Score 1) 96

Majored in BA at Texas Tech and graduated 1969. Computers were starting to become big, so Texas Tech decided we business majors needed to take a computer course. The term "Computer Science" hadn't been invented yet. They couldn't figure out what to call the course so they named it Accounting 401. We had to write a COBOL program and the professor basically just wrote it out on the board for us. But at times he would say: Ok, here you will need to figure out what to do to calculate the data at this point, to the gasp of everyone in the class. After getting through with the course, I didn't want to ever see a computer or hear the word computer again. Four years later, I was in my office at a company and the head of the data processing department came in and said, pack up your belongings. Tomorrow you move up stairs with us. We are going to make you a computer programmer. It turned out to be the perfect career for me. I loved it!
