Your insults to Moon among others basically negate any contributions you've made (not that I can think of any). Let's not forget your feeble attempt at discrediting a dyno sheet provided by Pettit (I never saw you admit fault/stupidity there), and all of the other times you just made !@#$ up.

I think you're just insanely jealous of the success Pettit is seeing, and you wish you were Moon. You'd trade everything you own to be in Moon's shoes right now (in spite of the fact that it's a small miracle he can even walk in them). Oh, and you're right, he can't spell worth a !@#$, big !@#$ing deal. You can't multiply and divide, which is worse?

Furthermore, even though you've called me a huge ***** and an *******, I still love you You've made me laugh more often than you probably realize. Also, sticks and stones, and all that

I did chuckle.
You should come over the the "Boost Atheists" thread. Fun stuff over there.

BTW - Moon came out of the blue this time around. He didn't even threaten me first. Oh well. If a tree falls in the woods...

Mazda stopped putting a "beam" on the OE leading plugs. There is a good reason for that.

There are actually two issues of concern when trying to gap these plugs; the first is the relatively brittle ground strap. The second is the Iridium that is on the tip of the electrode. It isn't that difficult to knock it off, so be careful. That's why I clean my plugs with an old toothbrush and not a metal brush.

I clean 'em and re-use em several times before they are wasted. F/I apps might be a different story.

That looks "yucky" but how are the edges of the electrodes? I can't see 'em. Is the gap larger due to electrode wear?

It is a frightening thing that people can be manipulated so easily. We have been brainwashed into thinking that buying each other gifts is the proper way to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Not trying to really pick at you others have expressed the same sentiments in this thread...but for HUNDREDS of years this has been a complaint throughout Western society and within literature. It happened when you were a child, and it was happening multiple generations before you.

Most do not care about the birth of Jesus. Yeah, it's Christmas and perhaps they should. But signs of compassion - such as gift giving to others - is basically tradition. And giving to neighbors and community is a direct outlet of the church's themselves, which whether you're Protestant, Orthodox or Catholic at root exist for the benefit of the community.

I understand what you are saying and i have totally agree with you that a gift when given with COMPASSION is a way of growth and celebrating , if you will, some principles that Jesus preached. Nothing wrong with tradition either, when the tradition makes sense. What I refer too is the mindless buying without compassion, the acceptance without true thanks, the so called 'pressure" that others try and place on you to buy, the celebration of the season and the the name Jesus is never even mentioned etc.
Now i understand and see and participate in giving with compassion through various groups I associate with---the family in which their Mother died of cancer, the family who's house burned down, the solders overseas,etc. All of that type of compassion and giving is a great thing. It also should and it does happen more than once a year.
But I be damned if I am going to buy my teenage daughters an I Phone(for example) for Christmas just because it is the latest and greatest. THAT type of giving along with all the office parties, the neighborhood parties, and the pressure to buy,buy, buy is what I speak of.
get back to the real spirit of Christmas, celebrate family, adopt a family or person down on their luck, help build a home for someone, deliver a meal to an elder that physically is unable to leave their home, help serve meals at the salvation army, give of yourself--dont take the easy way out and just BUY something.

No real argument with anything you've written. I feel the same way, for the most part. Iphone example, philanthropic endeavors, etc... - perfect.

Alway seems to me 10 months out of the year we, as a collective (not naming you or anyone else in particular), are all "buy, buy, buy" and then Christmas comes and there is a lot of backlash against the very system we support and embrace for the majority of the year. A system, that again, right or wrong has been in place for centuries. I could go on at length, as I'm sure could others...but really no point.

Anyway, enough threadjacking...happy New Year all...
