Civil Air Patrol

The AUXILIARY of the United States Air Force. The Civil Air Patrol performs many missions including Search and Rescue, Disaster Relief and Aerospace Education. The Civil Air Patrol also had ground teams for search and rescue, and average 100 lives saved a year.

The Civil Air Patrol also has the largest fleet of single-engine aircraft in the world, complex VHF-FM and HF-SSB radio systems that allow for interoperabily with navy, air force, marine corps, coast guard, as well as disater relief organizations such as the red cross, FEMA, etc.

The Civil Air Patrol is a national asset that at least does something useful, unlike the ROTC.

CAP owns you.

Clear Channel

Radio used to be good until Clear Channel came along. Now it sucks, like "rock" stations that play nothing but Linkin Park, Disturbed and Korn, and about 20 Top 40 stations for every single city in the USA

Your listening to Clear Channel Radio, now for another song by some shitty rap song or yet another Linkin Park song.

Tiocfaidh Ár Lá

"Our day will come" in Irish (Gaelic). Some also interprit it to be something along the lines of "Tommorow is ours"

Tiocfaidh Ár Lá is a popular phrase used by Irish Nationalists...however, me being an IRA supporter, screw them

losing my religion

it literally means "losing my temper" or "going insane" to some degree. If you would look at the REM lyrics to the song by the same name, it makes more sense, it really has nothing to do with religion.

I was pretty much losing my religion after being forced to listen to rap music by all the freshman girls at my school.

Driver's Ed

What I find surprising is how easy it is to get a driver's license in the Unites States (well, in Virginia, at least). First you get your learner's permit. This is sinfully easy, I spent two hours at the DMV waiting, and 10 minutes taking the tests. First there is a sign test, which I don't understand how someone who hasn't spent thier entire life in a barn could possably get the one question wrong to fail (there are 10 questions). Next is a "driving thoery" test, which is nothing more then common sense, however many people seem to fail that also. The next requirement is that you take classroom Driver's Education. All you have to do is sit through a boring class (you spend your whole school day doing it anyway), you will have a grand total of three tests and two homework assignments for the class, but people still fail this also. The third requirement is taking behind-the-wheel driver's education. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DRIVE THE CAR. Listening to an adult is not hard, considering you won't have to drive with one in the car after this. But many people apperntly do not posses the motor skills/eye-hand correnadtion to 1) make a left turn 2) signal a lane change 3) PARK FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE 4) obey the speed limit 5) stay in your lane etc. etc. Finally you take the practical driving test, which is just like behind-the-wheel execpt the person in the right seat has a clipboard with your name on it.

I don't understand how people can think getting a driver's license in this country is hard. In other places, such as Europe, I could understand, because in places like that you actully have to prove that you know how to drive a car.
