What is the world coming to when you cant simply put out a one foot by one foot sign in the yard without getting it taken just b/c they dont like the person your voting for.There were like 10-13 of the same signs all down my street in my neigbors yards and they took them to.Ofcourse they left the only Obama one on the street.

I think the next sign i put out,im gonna outline it with razor wire,or hook it up to a 12v battery and then will see how many times they keep coming back.

lol, you should really do that. Just make sure you get it on video. I can't stand people that ignore the basic rights this country was made for. If anything, catch them on tape so that you can figure out who it is and if they're from a particular neighborhood, put McCain signs in their yard.

At least follow through on the hooking the sign up to high voltage. I'd love to see that.

Whoever took it was just being neighborly in trying to help you avoid making a mistake.

Just surround the next one with Obama signs so it can't be seen & and you'll be ok.

I will admit that's pretty despicable.

My neighborhood is very politically active and nearly everyone has yard signs. Everyone gets along, signs don't disappear, etc.

Hell, I helped my neighbor get a McCain/Palin yard sign as the local office was out and I knew of another place that had them, lol. What do I care? How insecure must these people be to be stealing yard signs?

My wife has 3 yard signs and we don't have problems in our neighborhood (thus far). In her old neighborhood she had multiple yard signs get taken.

Also, stealing signs won't prevent people for voting for a candidate. I think its pretty retarded. Which reminds me, we have some yard signs to put in our yard. Some Democrat candidate running for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

if you think someone taking your sign is bad... try having a reasonable conversation with a black 'Joe Sixpack' about not wanting to vote for Obama... but right before they shank or shoot you, tell them you're Liberal. ;]

What else would you expect coming from Texas, the home of GWB, & the worst president this nation has ever had.

You don't know me concrete, you don't know what I have been through. Walk with me through southeast D.C. if you want to show me how tough you are, your cute little rants don't impress me, they are gone, as you will be if you cop that pissy attitude with me again. Like forealz

I think you're confusing that with Georgia, the state where Jimmy Carter came from

Well, Bush's approval ratings will be lower than Carter's were when he leaves office, and I don't think it's a stretch to assume that Bush 43's Presidency will be evaluated, historically, as having been worse than Carter's.

Both were bad Presidents, but the stakes were higher this time and thus the bungles were bigger.

A 2008 poll that History News Network performed among professional historians concluded that 98% thought Bush's Presidency was a failure and that 61% believe that it is the worst in US history.

I guarantee you that when they release a new ranking when he's been out of office a few years, he'll be in the 40's or very high 30's, down there with prizes like Andrew Johnson, Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, and Millard Filmore.

Carter gets beat up in rankings too, but he's never lower than high-30s and usually in the 20s somewhere.

Come on now, there's plenty of democrats in Texas. Just because David Caresh was from Waco doesn't mean everyone in Waco is a psychotic antichrist.

I know that you can't lump all of america into one bucket of governing law or ideals because each city has it's own pulse and reactions, but I really wish all politics stopped and common sense became law. Then again, personal experiences make this world go round and also bring it to a halt. I don't agree with everything I hear. I don't disagree with everything I hear. That's politics.Main thing for me is, this is the internet, not a democracy. Everyone is expected to think the same, and I don't like that. I'm here to learn about cars; I can talk about politics anywhere, but I can't get an audience about technical Nissan stuff anywhere. And technical info is like math, it's either yes or no. No arguments, no fighting, just install and remove. That's what I really love about working on my car. There's nothing about it that's controversal or misleading; it's just me and my rachet.

No contraversy? You must go to great lengths to avoid the great engine debate. It seems to be an SR -vs- KA thing with RB and CA taking the roles of the annoying independant parties.

lol, I mean beyond personal choices, when you're talking about something it's either this torque or that sort of sealant. Or this bolts on but this has to be modified.

For the record, KA.

3rd cylinder crank bearings. After the rings get worn, they're real easy to oil starve. At least everyone I talk to that's blown a motor, it normally is from the 3rd cylinder. I'm guilty of doing that once so far. That's when the rods throw, valves bend, cams snap, chains warp. LOL. But it's a cheap replacement engine and it's got enough stock rebuilt power to tick off Honda owners.

Not to threadjack, but I really don't know too much about the CA's. They come from Australia right, out of the 180sx? But that's about all I know, sides they're good engines.

They are the early model engine in the S13s. Only the Japan and European markets got them. Aussie ones are grey market imports.
