Well you tickled me and I thank you.

This is interesting: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/american-migration-patterns-should-terrify-gop/598153/ Apparently, Generations Y and Z are already moving to where they definitely need to go. If it's only the cost of moving holding them back maybe that's where the money should be spent. I mean, does anyone not know at least one Millennial they wouldn't pay to be rid of? I didn't think so.

Seriously, I wasn't being serious. If anything Bill should send them a few more bucks. Great study, though. Now we know that we all consider everyone one not like us to be uninformed dipsy doodles. I couldn't have worked that out on my own, that's for sure. So did this More in Common think tank that did the study fire all of their college educated researchers before or after they published the findings?

Goddamnit Bill, you need to back off. Did they not teach disconnected realities at MIT? Maybe we should go get your money refunded.
-
No thanks, I like you better asleep.

There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998

We aren't the only consistently boring people on SC. You fancy yourself clever, have you ever considered buying a new pony? -
Well, they do have a product to sell.

And they are damn good at it. Hopefully we’ll learn, too .

So what? Another $1,000,000 gets blown to send 20 of our most advanced fighter jets off to attack a small island with 40 of our most advanced bombs. No one seems to have guess how many, if any, bad guys were killed for the effort. headoverheels on SC (above) got the number of 25 KIA from somewhere. For giggles, let's take that number. So we spent $40,000 per KIA and that would be just for the bombs, Jet-A and maintenance. But for many, it was worth every penny just so some guy can post "Get sum!" on an obscure blog somewhere. After all, we're now only at 3.2% of GDP spending on our military which is way less than the 25% that collapsed the Soviet Union. Lucky for us there aren't millions of bad guys to bomb, right?

No worries, we're just happy to get you on your slow days.

Indeed, it was inciteful.
-
Because it's "SHOW TIME!".

If that's true it's just another flag waving, yellow ribbon whoopsiedoodle event. Sir, it's just a river island, probably next to zero kids around, definitely some bad guys are there and it'll all make sense and look professional because we can be sure all the bombs will hit the island. Sir, no fuck up this time for sure.

Now if Brent narrowed his sample down to recent examples I'm pretty sure you'd rub his nose in it.

Bill, that's an unfair analogy and it denies reality. Quitting smoking is a devilishly hard thing, I know first hand. Now, you might be able to squeeze a Methadone/Heroin analogy into your point but it still wouldn't be fair to do. Right now with what we know I'd say it's a fair guess that vaping is less of a danger to the users and those nearby than smoking by a very long shot. Personally, I don't like it around me but I'm a very long way from judging those who vape to get off cigarettes.

It's just vengeance. So, was there an after action report confirming the numbers of ISIS killed? Was there any unfortunate collateral damage? Do we even give a shit about either? I mean, it is totally sick vid and now we feel better, right? Is this is what winning looks like when wars end in this day and age? Inquiring minds, you know.

I can recommend an excellent otolaryngologist. There's no need to live that way.

Brother, you did not shame me. I'm in your corner. I don't like the vaping thing for my own reasons, which is sufficient. Honestly, it's like a fart in the airplane. Is it hurting me? No. Will I agree it's good? No, again. Do I need further education? Um, I don't think so. So, here we are and I'll cheer you and other friends on if it keeps you away from smokes.
-
Brother, I am in no way opposed to your use. If it keeps you off smokes It's a win in my book. I won't defend my position which is merely that I have my doubts that it's all good. I'm also willing to suffer my doubts if it does you good.

I said "I think", I won't claim to know. In truth, it is more of a gut feeling. But: "According to the CDC, substances found in vaping aerosol include: Ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs. Flavoring like diacetyl, a chemical linked to a serious, irreversible lung disease called obliterative bronchiolitis. So-called volatile organic compounds, or gases emitted into the air that may have adverse health effects. Cancer-causing chemicals. Heavy metals, including nickel, tin and lead."
-
I hate the vaping trend. I absolutely think it's bad inhaled first or second hand. But, because I had high hopes that it would help smokers quit I decided to allow it around the DZ outside of the designated smoking areas. So far I don't think anyone here has gone from smoking to vaping to neither. So now we have vaping around, which has it's own problems, but at least they aren't smoking

Come on, man, that's absurd. In your fantasy is that heroic fellow in Tiananmen Square pointing his Glock at the tank? It matters not how well armed and disciplined you are if you don't have the numbers and your foe cares not a whit about about cruelty or image. You've heard of the Spartans, right?
-
I can't do that but I will toss in one red spamming notice. Some day those will be worth something.

Who knows, but check out our new Middle East Peace Envoy. 30 year old Avi Berkowitz. No foreign policy experience but who cares, he made his bones as Jareds personal assistant. He'll have Hamas by the short curlies in no time, methinks. Hey! Maybe Tin Tin is available to take over Boltons portfolio. How hard can it be?

There's a reason you have 34 Green Merits with only 208 posts. Normally I wouldn't do this but if you are in the mood to deal I'll trade you 4 Warning Demerits for just 2 Merits. I can't keep the offer open ended obviously.
