    Re-read my edit.

    By the way, I'm a Giants fan, but I'm rooting for the Indians (3-1 over the Sox) in their series with the over-hyped Red Sox. Too bad the Yankees aren't in it anymore. I hope my boy, Barry Bonds, goes to the Yankees. That would be icing on the cake.

    Nice red herring.

    You made the claim I'm not gonna do your research for you. I'll be perfectly willing to accept your concession if you can't back up your claims.

    Yeah and those shipyards were torn down, and rebulding them costs what? Oh yeah money, money the city doesn't have right now being in debt and all.

    Whatever, transplant. I'm not going to get worked up over someone who hasn't been living in my city that long to know any better. For someone who's living in my city THE LAST 3 YEARS, you sure don't know jack squat. Peace out bean town dude. Try reading SFGATE.com more and stay current. Also, try wearing a U.S. Armed Forces uniform from any of it's branches, then I'll give you some credibility when it comes to talking about the Military.

    We didn't have the facilities to properly support a BB floating meuseum in the city, nor the spare money to build them. That more than anything else is what determined it.

    No loser Supervisor Chris Daly whined about the Blue Angels after accusing Gavin Newsom of being a cocaine addict did nothing for Daly's mayoral campaign. Of course his whining was about as effective since his bill to ban the Blue Angels was shot down by the board of supervisors (SF's name for city council) twice by overwhelming margins.

    No tried to remove JROTC as an official school program to protest the fact that DoD policy discriminates against a non-insignifcant portion of our popluation.

    Again see my comments about mistaking foreign policy disagreements for being anti-military. Supporting the troops does not equal supporting the war in Iraq.

    This is the first I heard of it. Do you have a news story?

    Again have a news story to back this up?

    Google it RED SOX fan. Go SAN FRANCISCO Giants.

    but having lived here for over three years now

    *LOL*

    What's this "we" stuff? You weren't even here in the 80s when the Missouri was docking in my city and don't think for a minute I believe SF doesn't have the facility to support a ship *lol*. SF used to be a major naval shipyard way past WW2.

    Well again that's the story you see pushed a lot in certain circles but having lived here for over three years now I haven't seen it. Defencetech seemed to think the lack of a carrier was an FU because the navy thinks SF is anti military (of course their own inaccurate reporting on the subject wouldn't have anything to do with it), but I'm inclined to believe it had more to do with being stretched to thinly right now.

    I was born and raised(reside) in "FRISCO" and this place is anti-military to the bone. Mayor "prettyboy" Newsom is trying to clean up the image of SF as a anti-military city, but that's not going to fly. Too many so called liberals, outcasts, transplants, and aging hippies here. This is the same retard city that prevented the USS Missouri from finding a permanent home there. That would have been sweet having a BB to visit once in a while and the revenue to the city ?! It also pisses me off that the Presidio was closed by the U.S. Army and I actually don't blame the government for leaving that beautiful base. You go to any other U.S. city and for the most part, they support the military ( I should know, I've been welcomed a lot and thanked for wearing my uniform and serving this country ON MY OWN discretion).

    San Francisco the past year:

    Whined about the Blue Angels

    Tried to ban high school kids attempting to join ROTC (which apparently isn't going to work)

    Constant whining about the war in Iraq/Afghanistan/Immigration on a daily basis

    Bay Area whining about flags being put up in honor of dead soldiers next to a freeway

    and .....oh yeah, a bunch of U.S. Marines couldn't even walk around Oakland Airport a month ago. As a soldier, I've utilized that airport a lot and we were never stopped even with weapons in our hands. Why the special treatment to my MARINES BROTHERS/SISTERS? Retarded Bay Area.

    Great 1/55 M&M's from Ratchet. Items where exactly as described. The only problems were....

    1. Even though I am on the SSL and he is not that I know of. I shipped my items first with the agreement of we would both ship USPS EXPRESS. Then after receiving my items I had to wait and he shipped only using USPS PRIORITY.

    2. I asked for him to leave me feedback here first since I shipped first and as you all can see...that has not happend.

    I am DONE with leaving feedback for people who cannot leave feedback for me. I ALWAYS work out my transactions to be as smooth as possible and yet I seem to get jipped one way or another. So to you RATCHET....THANKS for the 1/55's...they are VERY BAD A**.

    :ph34r:

    Misterryno's a man of his word. Ships fast. Of course, I had to give him $10 to help him ship his package Express so in a sense , I actually shipped my package EXPRESS.

    Anyone notice any digital skipping? There were at least two instances where the movie froze for a second, and the screen went into one of those weird digital block modes. Got my $15 copy at Wally World.

    Could be your DVD player. Mine does that all the time. If I want to watch DVD without interruption, I use my ps2.

    I just got back from Bestbuy tonight and I hung around the TF Video section trying to decide which DVD's I would get. I looked at the Prime/Cliffjumper DVD set, but decided to get the regular 2-disc special edition set instead. Those miniture robots are fugly! <_< Used the $5 I saved and got me a double cheeseburger instead ^_^
