Yeah it is. I wish I had a local show like that to watch/listen to. I've passed many an hour in the last few months with that show and some of the completely ludicrous callers and some of the things they say. Really reveals how uninformed so many people of religion and faith are in America. Which probably has a lot to do with why America is one of the last modern countries with a population over 50% who believe in a god. A lot of the rest of the "modern" world is down in the 20%, 30% or maybe 40% range, where as America is a ridiculous 85%+. I like to think a lot of that are just people who don't really care and just label themselves Christian because that is what they were raised as.
PS, Matt Dillahunty is a really brilliant, well spoken guy. Very sharp intellect, and very informed on many things.

About your thing with America being the only modern country with high religious concentration my searching showed the UK between 50-80%, US at 80% and Canada around 80% of the people considered themselves affiliated to some religious system.

You say that like only people of faith are uninformed. You can have people call in on ANY topic, and you will get the same results, most people that call in will be full retard. There are just as many stupid atheists as there are stupid religious people.

I said "one of the last" countries with that high of a percentage. The UK in my research is closer to 50%, certainly not as high as 80%. Canada, I don't know. Aren't they just an American colony, anyway...?

Seems pretty straightforward. They used an old snowmobile engine to turn an exhaust turbine from a tank, remembering that modern tanks don't use piston engines, they have turboshaft engines similar to those in helicopters. The fan was positioned to draw in air from beneath the car, and the addition of an articulated skirt around the perimeter of the floorpan allowed this to create a significant negative pressure differential below the car. This, in turn, produced roughly 1,000 lbs of downforce regardless of vehicle speed, which significantly enhanced the vehicle's cornering performance and stability.

the video will display like this:
So if you click share, and then select "long link" or copy the address, you're in business.

That's badass. I dont get GRM anymore so I never saw it. Totally legit!
Sorry, I left off an important step. Take "http://youtu.be/Lspi5sWaZFc" and remove the "http://youtu.be/" and enclose what remains with the yt brackets.

How this whole YT video embedding was ever hard in the first place always has me stumped. I mean holy ----, if you cant do that.....what can you do? Its been posted time and time again, its not that hard to understand nor to do. So why is this a problem??
P.S. I have NO IDEA who was even having an issue. Didn't care enough to look into it. I just had to ask in general, WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND???
