I SERIOUSLY shoulda stayed in bed this mornin !

This is turning into a pandemic ! First, the lady (?) i Floriduh with the Raw steak, now this - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091211/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_grits_attack Moral of THIS story, break up wit her in the MORNING !

You lucky dog you !

Welcome Aquifan ! Well, Ima probably no help here, but I CAN tell you it doesnt matter with my 510. I leave it on a charger overnight all the time. Im sur someone will pop in here soon and answer for your model. Again, welcome, and keep us posted !

Hey Links, welcome to VaporTalk ! I suggest you check out our Suppliers Forum for various vendors. Personally, I have used Awesomevapor.com, wordupecig.com, rockymountainvapor.com, and they are ALL excellent suppliers. And of course, dont forget the VaporTalk store ! Let us know how things turn out !

Wow, a princess of few words. Can you hang out with my wife and teach HER to be quiet !? Shes the QUEEN of gab.

My presumption may VERY well have been wrong, and in that sentence I went ON to say "YOU may be right". I went on to say after that, that this war has turned INTO a clusterf**k. I AGREED with you on those points. My ONLY, my ONLY reference and start of my rant was your comment "The war on terror is a hoax", or lie, or whatever you want to call it. So, I just wanted to give "IN MY Humble Opinion", a refresher that I thought, IMO, people have forgotten. VaporTalk is a forum. A Forum of WORDS. Which is WHY I try VERY hard to choose my words VERY carefully, as not to OFFEND anyone. I sometimes, IMHO, apologize too MUCH. But, this BEING a forum of words, I expect only the same and nothing more from others. NOT demand, expect. And where I come from, "Shame On You" is not taken lightly. I ALSO, did not want this to be a thread about the towers, I wanted it to be YOUR thread,but, IMHO, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. IMHO, if you attack a problem from the middle, and dont go to the beginning, you're not gonna fix the problem. THAT was the only reason for my post, a RESPONSE, not attack, to your "hoax" quote. Please, please Speakeasy, feel free to continue this thread, lets agree to disagree, and I too, once again, apologize for any offenses incurred.

I said "Again, Speak, I hope Im not saying this wrong, please dont take offense, I ENJOY this type of debate and do NOT want to agitate you or anyone. Sometimes when I speak my mind I tend to do that, and if so, my apologies. " HOW you turned THAT into a personal attack on YOU by ME, is beyond my intellect. I tried , obviously I FAILED, to get across that I was JUST giving my opinion, that I did NOT mean to offend anyone, that I WELCOMED these type of debates. I SERIOUSLY went OUT OF MY WAY to not offend you. But, for you to put SHAME on me !!! How DARE you. I havent been THIS mad in I dont know HOW long. I'll shut my friggin mouth now. How many apologies do you want, I'll be happy to send them

I also WELCOMED this topic. I also said I ENJOY these debates, IN A FRIENDLY MANNER. I quote YOU "the war on terror is a joke". THATS WHAT I WAS RESPONDING TO, IMHO, and NOTHING else !!

Wow, Speak. Now , after TRYING to be as polite as possible, Im offended. I NEVER SAID you were against the war, I NEVER IMPLIED you were against the war on terror. I DIDNT presume you thought our being in Iraq was wrong. NEVER DID !!! PLEASE point out WHERE I DID, and I WILL APOLOGIZE !!!!!! I DID NOT demean your service to our country ! I DID NOT imply your service, AND MINE, was wrong ! I WAS ONLY stating, IMHO, IMHO, IMHO that people forgot those events. Shame on ME !!?? Those are pretty strong words !!!NO SIR, NO SHAME ON ME !!!! SHAME on YOU for taking a polite political discussion to a higher agitated level !

My heartfelt sympathies Speak. I too, am a Vet, USN, was on a destroyer in the Gulf LONG before it was in the paper every day (1981). I hope I didnt mis speak here, I was in NO way trying to minimize ANY one elses experiences of that tragic day. If thats how it came across, I ABSOLUTELY apologize. What I AM saying is, from my OWN personal standpoint, this BEGAN as a retaliation for an act of terror. What it has turned INTO is a whole other "New Topic" post. I dont disagree that it is more than what it was in the beginning. But, I believe, wholeheartedly, my opinion, that this STARTED as a war on terror, a knee-jerk response to terror, and changing horses mid-stream is what has MADE it what it is today, a cluster-f**k. Thats the ONLY thing that raises my hackles, people FORGET where this began. It is what it is today, but its NOT what it was back then. When Bush stood on the rubble with a megaphone and said "The people who DID this are gonna hear our voices", THAT, IMO, was a "Declaration of WAR on TERROR" My point is, that was the conception point, that terrorist act on Sept 11th. THAT was why we went to Iraq. THAT was why we, at first supported it, and we did as a country. Bush's approval rating at the time was historical. THAT was why we went to Afghanistan. An act of terror. We can argue till we're blue in the face about what it is NOW, but Im referring to what it WAS. And, IMHO, I think it is wrong on many levels to ignore that. I think it is demeaning to our troops to ignore that. Again, Speak, I hope Im not saying this wrong, please dont take offense, I ENJOY this type of debate and do NOT want to agitate you or anyone. Sometimes when I speak my mind I tend to do that, and if so, my apologies. But I dont think anything can change my mind on that. I will be HAPPY to see or listen to ANY proof that Sept. 11 WASNT an act of terror.

LOL! I have decided to make this, my ACTUAL 1000th post, a special one, and announce my candidacy for the office of The United Vapes of America. As for now, there are no other opponents ( but Im sure that underhanded, low-rent, diabolical individual known as "TheSmokingMan", will throw his crusty old hat in the ring any day now). With your support, we can make this a happy warm and fuzzy world, a change we can believe in ! Thank you for your support, and now its on to the NEXT 1000 posts ! You guys ROCK !

Hey, Speak, havent seen you in a while, glad yer back. As for politics fitting in this forum, I think thats the reason Chris created the Vapor Lounge, where anything "unrelated to e cigs" can be posted. He must have had the forsight to see that a big bag O wind like myself would eventually join the fold. Also, the social status and ongoing battles for the e cig community, almost DEMAND that we be political in nature, for it is the politicians and legislatures that we must convince of our "Right to Vape". Now, I havent checked out the link you posted yet, and I WILL, because I believe its only right and fair to listen to ALL sides before forming an opinion. But, that being said, I had to make one comment first. I have to disagree wholeheartedly, 100 %, with your statement that the "War on Terror" is a joke. It is NOT a joke, in any sense of the word. I watched in horror, as most of America and the world did, as 2 planes flew into the World Trade Center on the morning of Sept. 11th 2001. When the first plane hit, my initial reaction was, "OMG, what a terrible accident !, All those poor people". Then, I realized something. My sister works in those buildings. I imeediatly tried to call, and couldnt get through. Then the second plane hit, and I, along with the world, realized this was no accident. I cannot speak for the families of the 2500 other directly connected to those days events, but let me tell you, Terror is the only word that can describe what I and MY family were experiencing. Long story short, my sister survived, Thank You God, and we only found that out 7 hours later, 7 hours of pure hell and, TERROR. ( Ironically, she was ALSO there during the basement bombing of the WTC. That day, she was shopping there, not working there yet,)To this day, my sister will NOT go to lower Manhattan.Sept. 11th was ALSO my daughters 15th birthday. One she celebrates a little more somberly now.On a lighter note, I took PERSONAL offense for another reason. Being a native New Yorker, I remember WATCHING them build those towers from my bedroom window in the 70's. The construction lights from the crews working at night were my nightlight. Now, JMHO, but this was the absolute definition of a "TERROR" attack, added to the other ill fated planes of that day. An organized, planned, calculated, premeditated act of terror, plain and simple. Now, if you had told G. Bush, or me, or Mickey Mouse on Sept 10th, that 3 planes would cause so much pain the following day, we ALL wouldve shrugged our shoulders and said "yeah, right". We did NOT need to have congressional hearings and witch hunts to find blame here. 11 "terrorists" were to blame. Now, I presume your argument would be, "We didnt need to go to war in Iraq because of it". Well, while I disagree with that, you MAY be right, but on Sept 12th, myself, and the majority of the free world said to our Commander in Chief, " Yeah, lets go kick some butt". Right intelligence, wrong intellegence, doesnt matter to me. Someone had to get a message sent that we will NOT stand for this, and if that ***-clown Saddam Hussien had to be the one, works for me. Has it turned into a quagmire, did we get in a little over our heads , maybe so, but so be it. It is what it is, because it was what it was. And, most importantly, IMHO, I have NOT seen ONE airplane fly into ANY buildings in MY country since Sept. 11th 2001. THANK YOU GEORGE BUSH. If you wanna drag him through the mud and burn him in effigy from coast to coast for other misgivings, go ahead, but G-Dammit dont be hypocritical and IGNORE that fact ! ( not aimed at you Speak, just a rant there). My whole point here, is I am open minded to ANYONES political beliefs, I will defend to the death your right to hold those beliefs. But please, please, please, dont belittle our troops who have fallen on the field of battle, and given the ultimate sacrifice, in this "WAR ON TERROR". Rant over. Now Speak, buddy, I'll check out that link.

WOW guys, thanks so much. I didnt even notice it. last time I paid attention it was like 957. Its more of a testament to how great Vaportalk is really, and proof that I have a big mouth, ( or hands ? ). Anyway, thanks again, and the next 1000 will be as much fun as the first, Im sure !!

I have said many times, if you want to find the REAL problems with America, FOLLOW THE MONEY. Why do these bozos care about our healthcare. THEY have the BEST coverage in the world. FREE !!! Wanna see them fix healthcare the RIGHT way, make them pay for thiers. it'd be solved in a DAY !! Uh-oh, I feel a rant coming on ....

Dannyboy, I voted to impeach BEFORE I read your post. But I have to ask, whats the source of this quote. Ive never heard it, and would think it would be on the FRONT page of every newspaper in America. At the very least, one paper. I hope to GOD this is accurate, and gets more widespread, because I think you are right, he wouldnt get ONE vote from any Vet or Active duty member in the military. He is a disgrace to the office irregardless. A false prophet. JMHO.

LOL ! Damn right Gazoo ! Babies are chick magnets !

I have one that I used a sharpie on. Works good. Rappin the wife on the back o the head works, but only once.

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You're a nasty, wasty skunk. Your heart is full of unwashed socks Your soul is full of gunk. Mr. Grinch. The three words that best describe you, are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

DD, I dont have the final say here, but I have no problem with this post. I think it is IMPERATIVE to band together as a community, and fight this coming trend. As with all important issues,there is strength in numbers. JMHO, Chris will have the final say though. Good post !

LOL DrJ ! I know Im a damn yankee, but Ive always said, Floriduh looks like a turd hangin off the continent !

Ha ! Hammer, you almost got me with that one. I didnt pick up on it till Vacker pointed out, tenderly, the word you used.

ROFL !!!! Vacker, that was EXACTLY what my son said. Ive laughed twice today on that old saying !

Joe, AWESOME rant. I have ALWAYS said, if you want to get to the root of this countrys problems, FOLLOW THE MONEY. Capitalism begat Prosperity. Prosperity begat Greed. Greed begat Dissention. And welcome to 2009 ! I think it is an absolute crime that EVERY elected official in this country wins thier position NOT on the basis of thier political beliefs as much as how much theyve accumilated in thier "war chests". Its gotten to the point that the race for the Presidency begins the DAY AFTER the general election, so the candidates can gather as many donations as humanly possible ! That sickens me to no end. Its ALL about the money. We keep electing bluebloods and gloryhounds to office, who have NO earthly idea what its like to struggle day to day. What its like to have to decide WHICH bill to put off for another week to pay another bill. Its like hiring a plumber to fix your faucet whos never seen a leaky faucet. Then, with Senators and Congressmen, we put them in office, with the best retirement plan on the face of the earth, the best healthcare in the universe, and expect them to take care of OUR retirement and healthcare. The answer to healthcare is simple. Want to lower the costs. MAKE THEM PAY FOR THIERS. Want to help every American - PUT US ON THIER PLAN ! I GUARUNTEE you, if you make it so THEY have to pay the same as us, they'll come up with a plan toot sweet !!!! If thier 401k's were in the same peril as ours, you can bet the baby's milk money our 401k's would be gaurded like Fort Knox. With this new joke of a healthcare plan theyre trying to pull over our eyes, there is not ONE concession from a Govt. entity to lower cost, just sacrifice and struggle from business and the individual. I fear for our future, seriously. I fear if something BIG doesnt happen SOON, something BIG is gonna happen.

This is funny and disturbing at the same time. You guys think Floriduh is the land of sunshine and vacations ? Not in this house ! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_odd_meat_attack
