Kenny, I know you locked the thread about the republic bit, but I was tickled to see how everyone is honed up on the government. It was great while it lasted.

Mike :-)

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 25-Apr-01 AT 04:51 PM (EST)[/font][p]I didn't mind the thread. But when mention of change through gun cartridges and Hispanics was mentioned it became a bit too much. After seeing heated discussions of this nature in the past, it eventually gets out of hand. Bill and I got pretty heated about it just from an admistrative viewpoint (Bill is still around if anyone is wondering).

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 25-Apr-01 AT 10:31 PM (EST)[/font][p]I have to admit that I still am surprised by the stance of people to various topics/positions. But,what an opportunity to learn! There, however is no reason why you should't be able to defend or advocate your point without resorting to name calling or advocating something that is non-conducive to other peoples welfare.

The thread had a hot debate, but it was the right thing to do in locking it. At the rate it was going, it would have reached critical mass.

>>For the record. I know I mentioned shooting in my post under that thread. I was not advocating it and was referencing a previous comment that mentioned it.

I've learned in my time that there are two things that reach a critical mass in no time, religion and politics.

I'm in agreement with Ken on this one. I love to debate politica, but it can get into a bitter exchange very easily. Try yahoo chat rooms Government & Politics or Washington Watch. That is a much better place to get into a good ole fashioned political debate! My opinion, that is......

Hey Ken,
I know what you mean I am glad to see that Bill is still around though. We had our differences and scrapes but When the smoke clears we are all tied to our love for our Fords. Pretty Cool.

Hello,
I am new to this site.
How do I ask someone a question about my Ford Ranger.
I want to remove the Rotors to have them cut but can't figure out how to remove the large nut.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Vping

There's a conference specifically for Rangers about halfway down the page. It's listed under Small Chassis Trucks.

I want to find out how to take off the rotor from my 4x4 ranger.
I can't figure out the nut. I also can't figure out who to ask.
Can you steer me in the right direction or help me out?
Thanks
V

Vinny, Bill was trying to suggest to you, that you go to the Ranger forum and post your question there, not here.

I think that you will be happier there, with the Ranger crowd answering that question.

I think the men are suggesting that when you log on to FTE, and go to the "Message Board", instead of clickint on the first option "General Conversation", scroll down a bit until you see a "Ranger" board and click on it, or just click below...
