I suppose 'Get Over It' by Henley and Frey is apropos to the subject at hand.

The narrative keeps changing. It was abiut WMDS that were never found, remember? Or stopping terrorists. Or about ensuring oil (of course, ISIS has control of a bunch of it right now. You'd think that the US would have secured that. But nope. So being about oil is a bit of a stretxh). I do think it was a massive cluster fuck. And still is. We e gone from over estimating a threat to dealing with the consequences of underestimating a threat. I'm looking at the Middle East under Obama. What are his accomplishments? With the exception of passing off Israel there is little difference between him and Bush. Leaving wakes of instability First off, we know for CERTAIN that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, and we have the RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT! Having said that, I think that both Harvard grads either failed to take History or cheated to get the grade.

For someone who claims to respect a person's religious dogma if it is sincerely held believe derived from God, you sure find it easy to insult the same dogma. Hypocrite much? I thought her last "sandwich" comment was rather funny and well played...I felt obliged to respond in kind with my own tongue-in-cheek jesting - c'mon man, she walked right into that one. Personally it's really becoming quite the buzz-kill having to explain everything to the liberal hypersensitive types looking to pick a fight. I greatly prefer Offspring's version of 'Feelings' to that of Morris Albert.

For someone who claims to respect a person's religious dogma if it is sincerely held believe derived from God, you sure find it easy to insult the same dogma. Hypocrite much? But, but but, hers is derived from Allah... Which, in Arabic, means 'the God' (masculine). Its transliteration is more properly 'al Lah.' The female counterpart of al La -, banished by the misogynist psychopath who founded the whole thing - was 'al Lat.' As an aside, it is a truly insecure guy who puts so much stock in virginity, and the ism he founded is apparently appealing to those of his y'lk. If you're a total dud in bed, find yourself a virgin and convince her that the female orgasm is a myth. Yeah, that's the ticket... BSBD, Winsor

I am very much okay with Germans, but think this guy is a real asshole. If someone is hoist with their own petard I might find it amusing. If they are being victimized, I do not. In the same sense that Tailgunner Joe McCarthy did more to engender sympathy for Communists (who were otherwise beneath contempt) than anyone before or after, this guy makes his victims look wonderful by comparison, regardless of how they might stack up absent his tender ministrations. I might not be a big fan of those he does not like, but I prefer them to him. BSBD, Winsor

Traif.

He's a mulatto (or 'zebra' in SA), not black. His father, the only black in the mix, took a runner very early in the game. As a result he was raised largely among white haoles.

You might want to read the article again. The attack was reportedly planned 10 days in advance. Obama was not in the planning session with the terrorists, as much as you'd like that to be true. He turned down the invite to go golfing?

No... you can't. Many of them never get a chance to a decent education.... and that applies to white and black... as any trip thru the backroads of the rural south will show in a hot minute. Bullshit. If you are indigent, with no hope of ever having a pot to piss in, and you have children, you are the problem. If there had been a hue and cry in the '60s about poor people overbreeding, poverty would not be the problem it is today. Instead, we fostered the policy of 'kids as a cash crop' for people on the dole, with the inevitable results. If you insist on breeding like rats, don't bitch. BSBD, Winsor

Smaller diameter than one's thumb is fine (the 'rule of thumb').

Bullshit. They do not deserve respect. The whole drive to 'modesty' is that they seek to be sexually unappealing. Mission accomplished. BSBD, Winsor yes the whole point is to be sexually unattractive, what is not clear about that? ok i get it you hate Muslims. No more than I 'hate" Christians. Their track record through the ages has been simply ghastly, and they still use an execution device as their symbol of choice. Negroes are touchy about nooses, and I have the same warm, fuzzy feeling about crosses. Sure they would! They just would be clueless about how offensive they were. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was not a Nazi, but he was tight pals with their brass. Actually, Nazis were a much more modern and sophisticated group (with a few minor failings here and there). I never said anyone was paranoid, nor manic (you may well be - I don't know). The person who claimed to have a direct line with Gibreel was a certifiable psychopath, and revering such an individual does not warrant much in the way of respect. Not to worry, I have NO expectation of changing your mind about anything. I am absolutely underwhelmed by anyone who thinks that archaic writings of one stripe or another are the Word of God (tm). Knock yourself out. BSBD, Winsor

Let economics prevail. If you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em. If anyone goes on the dole during their childbearing years, a condition is that the fertility of anyone receiving compensation is forfeit (by a reversible means). If someone has such staunch convictions that they won't go with it, fine. They're on their own. If someone on the dole gets knocked up, their choices are either terminate the pregnancy in the first few weeks or never receive another nickel of compensation. If someone cannot afford the operation to reverse sterilization during their childbearing years, they can't afford kids. Unless the next generation of indigent is halted before it is spawned, we will live with it. This was the case when the 'war on poverty' was announced in the '60s, and look what we're stuck with as a result of overlooking the obvious. BSBD, Winsor

Having lived in areas where it was no big deal to see breasts of every description, I agree that our reaction to the whole thing is fucked up. Muslims, among others (Haredim, for example), take it to another level. You wonder why the young men of that culture are okay with blowing themselves to smithereens on a regular basis? It could be a culture that is beyond sexually dysfunctional (they breed like rats, but sensuality has nothing to do with fecundity). Dying begins to look more attractive than a lifetime of more of the same. At least when you hear "don't touch me there - I don't touch MYSELF there!" in the West, it is generally a joke.

Correct. No respect was intended. When I go through Passenger Screening and one of the screeners is wearing a hijab, she may as well be wearing a swastika as far as I am concerned (as far as Godwin goes, i do not distinguish greatly between Islam and National Socialism - six of one, half a dozen of the other). There is precisely no humor intended. BSBD, Winsor

My standpoint is that someone as toxically fucked up as is Tsarneaev should be summarily euthanized. You do not send Cujo to the pound for the same reason. As long as he is alive, there exists the potential that he will infect others with the evil that possesses him. I do not think he should be made to suffer - what's the point? How can you possibly visit upon him the horror of having one's little kid killed? Just put him to sleep and be done with it. BSBD, Winsor

This is nice. Very conservative Not so much conservative. But evidently controversial Jilboob? First I have heard about it. Ninja women are scary.

Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes. Henry David Thoreau A way of life that has a dress code? You can have it.

Nice try.

Whether is not climate?

I think it is from the principle that 'guns don't kill people - negroes do.'

Except in this case, doing nothing IS doing harm since the current system is broken (as you admitted) and had (still has) parts that are getting worse. Let me walk you through this difficult concept. Things are bad. Don't fuck it up even worse than it is already. When you're losing your ass at the table, doubling down is a bad idea. You run out of markers even faster. BSBD, Winsor

Bullshit. Rather than a step toward good, this is the kind of 'change' of which Dr. Kevorkian would be proud. Obamacare ist eine Schlimmverbesserung (no real English equivalent). Our legislators are apparently unaware of the Hippocratic oath: Primum non nocere (first, do no harm). It would be a good start. BSBD, Winsor

A real problem with many issues is that they are viewed as binary. While it may be convenient to oversimplify things thusly, it tends to obfuscate the issue. More often than not, one might observe that, while the problem at hand is massive, what is proposed as a 'solution' is somewhat worse in the long run. The cure is worse than the disease, if you will. Having some familiarity with the Medical/Pharmaceutical Complex, both here and in other countries, it is clear to me that the system is badly broken. The solution put forth by the Government (as usual) goes something like this: A) There is a service (in this case Health Care) that everybody needs. B) The way things are now, very nearly nobody can afford it. C) If everyone gives an affordable amount to the most inefficient and ineffective bureaucracy imaginable (think getting a Driver's License), these people will use whatever funds they do not absorb themselves to go out on the market and obtain the services you could not afford in the first place. What's wrong with this picture? The 'solution' does not change the Liability Lottery where every physician is the keeper of the Jackpot, nor does it address the massive overhead that absorbs well over 90% of actual medical payments (think $35 Band Aids and $10,000/night hospital beds). The emotional appeal of Universal Care is that Somebody Else gets stuck with the tab. Unfortunately, since everybody needs health care, the Somebody Else is us. Putting Attorneys in charge of ensuring that Physicians do not charge too much is an interesting concept. If there is anything about which Attorney's know less in general than Medicine, it's Arithemetic. BSBD, Winsor

The only thing crazy is your predisposition to take a stance on things before the facts are laid out. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight..... the other driver... said he Trutles lovable little zimmie brandishing... while both of them were locked in a testosterone display on the public highways.... endangering anyone else who was near. Showing off your Gun....... like that.. is the definition of SYG.... I do not know the specifics of this incident, but should he display a gun and get shot dead, his cause of death should read "suicide." That's pretty much the way it works where I'm from. BSBD, Winsor
