Any felony incarcerations in this country should ALL be forced to give labor toward the next PRISON construction effort for that state. We also need a new Devil's Island where we send rapists and murderers. They NEVER get to step on free soil again. Gun and knife crimes should all be life sentences as well. The delineation should be where the gun or knife is used in self defense.

Some vacuums use the air from the vacuum outlet to >cool the motor, and the motor has exposed brushes. Stupid, untrue claim. Such "air" is POST filter. Think of debris hitting the brushes, not just flies, idiot. THEN you will realize the stupidity of the claim you derived with your bent "common sense" guess of what takes place. ANY air that passes over ANY motor in ANY vacuum cleaner is POST filter. > The fact that 'fly >spray' is usually flammable, More utter bullshit. MAYBE the propellant is a low flammability propane mix, but even that would be relatively safe. > and brushes spark, No... really? > will help prove the >big bang theory quite effectively! You are quite effective at being an idiot. >> otherwise >>they'll just fly back out again. >>

A tobacco retard! You probably think that being a cigar smoker makes you a more virile "man". You are neither virile nor a man.
