  1. Why would you want to predict 250 cities in a particular order? If I was a betting man, I'd say your prediction is off by one or two cities.........

    This movie sucked big time. Although I'm a big QT fan, I could tell this one was gonna be a bomb months before it came out. Why? Because good movies don't need any advertising. This movie had advertising weeks and weeks before it came out. Always pay attention to that. If it's a good movie, they will not advertise it very much. Word of mouth will suffice. If it's bad, they will advertise the hell out of it.
  3. The Browns just don't have that much talent. Even with good coaching, they would only be around a .500 team.

    We need more pics of Akron, my hometown.

    I don't think so. Latino is a marketing term for people from Latin America, more specifically, mestizos. Marketing term is different from a factual definition. Just like the definition of "hispanic" means "of Spain". Thats the literal definition. Now, common usage is different from the literal translation.

    The definition of Latino is those countries which speak a Latino language. Italy, Spain, France, Romania. Those are White countries.

    American Indian, Asian, and Pacific Islander all fall under the Mongoloid racial category.

    Whites are listed as Caucasion, why arent Blacks listed as Negroid?

    I'm just curious which member came up with the choices for Race, because they make no sense whatsoever. There are 7 choices in the "poll", plus one for "mixed". The Australoid race is completly left out.

    I attended basic training at nearby Ft. Benning back in '84. They used to tell us that we would learn just enough hand -to- hand combat to go into Columbus and get our asses kicked..... Oh, and Victory Drive was renamed VD drive, in honor of the hookers thereon.
  11. More pics of the airdock: Can you imagine the day they flew the Akron out of its hanger, driving to the airport in your Model-T, to witness the event? A more modern pic showing the immensity of the building:
  12. One can't really blame the unions. Their members are just getting what the corps and the CEOs agreed they would get. Those union contracts were signed in better times when GM-Ford-Chrysler had better profits and a larger market share. Another thing that hurts the US companies is that they have legions of retirees to support. Newer companies such as Kia and Hyundai don't have that same burden.
  13. And who might that be? Obama (is that his first or last name?) was born and raised in Hawaii.

    I'm scratching my head as well. At what? Bush, along with Obama and the rest of the Globalists, have been flooding our nation with illegal aliens. 38 million according to a couple estimates I've seen. Bush, McCain and Obama all want to grant amnesty to them.

  17. San Diego is very nice. Clean for a big city, right on the ocean. Somewhat conservative due to a major military presence in the area. Has some of the best weather in the United States. Very close to Mexico if you want to take a trip and do some shopping. San Francisco is absolutely stunning architecturally. Surrounded on 3 sides by water, very hilly. A huge diversity of neighborhoods. Los Angeles is a major hell-hole.
  18. No and I hope that was a joke. Kinda, sorta. Born and raised in Akron, living in California the last 25 years. Went back a couple years ago to check out the old neighborhood. Now, this part of town was built by the tire companies, and the residents for generations worked in the factories, til they closed. My casual observation (and opinion) is that many people who had the means to leave for other areas with better economies left a long time ago, leaving behind those without the means to move. This includes people caring for elderly parents, or retired people unwilling to move.
  19. Is 11.00 per hour a good wage in Ohio nowadays? When I was in Akron a couple years ago, one thing that struck me was how many pawn shops, check cashing stores, and corner video arcades there were. Oh, and strip clubs. Growing up there, I didn't remember all those types of business' being so prevalent Did everyone with any money get the heck out?
  20. Airport pics: This used to be an airport terminal/control building. Now its a restaurant: Airdock:
