  1. S'okay. I'm helping out with research involving jumpers, and I haven't even been able to WATCH a skydive in weeks. Plus I'm at the tunnel every week or two, and can't fly there either! AND the beermoney fund is running low. How's your life look now? It can always be worse, but how many people can say they've got it better than a jumper at the DZ? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  3. hamas are the democratically elected government of gaza... OK, I'll skip the godwin's law response. Let's talk about merits. The Israelis were attacked and won the war. (doesn't it sucks when your victims practice effective self defense?) they gave up the vast majority of the land they seized. They kept three small sections due to their strategic value and repeated attacks launched from them. Hamas is a rerrorist organization the targets civilians including women and children. None of the involved parties are innocent. Hamas has a right to exist, yes or no? Israel has a right to exist, yes or no? Which one has the destruction of the other as a founding principle? If Israel pulled all forces out of Gaza and ended the blockade, what do you think would happen? Would the attacks stop? Would Jews in the area, if any, be allowed to live peacefully? Egypt is working with Israel. Is any country willing to admit working with Hamas? Why? Do you have any understanding of the history of Transjordan? Have you ever thought Hamas was wrong and Israel was right for even a single instance? What do you think of the busstop bombing mentioned in the OP? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  4. I have no idea. Don't really understand the motives of these idiots... All I know is that if rockets keep flying out of Gaza again (and so far they are), Israel will be dragged into this mess again. Hamas aren't psychopathic or stupid regardless of how you feel about their theology. And Israel aren't being dragged in to anything when they are occupying other people's land and destroying their entire society. Also no mention of the family and children that were killed by Israel - but thats standard. Do you really want to debate the merits ofHamas versus Israeli control of Gaza? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    boobies....

    which leads one to wonder: should "boobs" and "boobies" have separate options? same for "tits" and "titties"? Or no? Ah, the wonderful neverending thought provoking mystery that is breasts. Or should that be "that are breasts"? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  7. Sorry, I don't find Heinlein remotely impressive as a source of wisdom. Wisdom? Maybe, maybe not. Observation? When's the last time you read Starship Troopers professor? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  8. Well, he was the one who made a deal, and the judge said he was leaning towards a life sentence, so it's not that surprising. It will really tell when the others are sentenced after a guilty plea or a conviction. If there was a ringleader, I'd support a sentence of "short drop and a suddent stop." Life in a federal pen should suffice otherwise. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  9. How can you worry about where it's going when where you are isn't even on the map? It doesn't exist, but we'll fly you there four times a week... witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  12. Hamas must feel like they're not getting enough attention these days, what with Iran, Iraq, and Libya stealing the middle east spotlight. Awww, poor widdle wewigious psychopafs...

  16. Understood and agreed. i'm not blaming the kid. He doesn't know any better and doesn't yet have the self control to restrain himself even if he did.

  17. In general, there is only one way to stop this country from going under. The feds will have to cuts programs and raise taxes. Doing one or the other is not going to sovle the problem. Anyone talking about cutting taxes further or expanding programs is either ignorant of our coutry's situation, or simply unwilling to fix it. Think about it. Forty to fifty percent of the population pay no income tax. Our sales tax doesn't cover much. Military, medicare, and social security make up more than forty percent of our expenditures. If the feds cut every single program and agency, shut them all down tomorrow except for those three and stopped paying back other debt, the budget still would not balance. Not even close. The argument in WDC right now is whether or not cutting fifty to sixty Billion dollars is radical. I don't know if it's radical, but I do know that it's a completely insignificant number. If the government is going to stop the country from complete insolvency and/or bankruptcy, they are going to have to man up, risk their jobs, and cause their constituent some pain. The kind with past politicians' faces on it. Other wise we'd better all prepare for a government breakdown and some riots in the streets. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  19. I don't know if it's medical or not. Doctors don't seem to think so. The problem is the kid eats more than two full sized adults, and so he is three times the size of a healthy child. There are always complicating factors, but like they said, more kcals taken in that kcals expended equals gain in weight. He's been to medical doctors. His parents need to see psychiatric doctors. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  20. I would hope that if one has been in the 100k range for the past three decades that they saved enough money and had enough networking contacts that they (alone or with partners) could open their own company and create more jobs. Or retire. You'd hope for that many years he's been squirreling it away using 401k or some other savings/investment vehicle. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  23. A bad job is worse for your mental health than unemployment - says Aussie study I don't see how working a shitty job can be worse than not having any job. I suppose if you've got a steady source to mooch off of, it might not be all that bad. Personally I went without a job for a short time and I hated every minute of it. Lots of job type stresses were worse with no income, I felt like I had no control, and I was bored out of my skull feeling like I wasn't accomplishing anything. I don't know about people on the bottom of the world where toilets flush backwards, but I don't buy it. This just sounds like more spoiled brat "I'm entitled to a free ride" bullshit. Our grandparents had a word for shitty jobs: opportunity. Think about it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  24. Well, he got three kinds of brown people that he's working on right now. He's got afghan brown, Iraqi brown, and Libyan and North African brown. And since he built up force in the 'stans instead of withdrawing, I think afghanistan counts as our country's longest running war ever. Makes me wonder if he's going to hit SE Asia next, or aim for somewhere that white folks go to get a tan... witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  25. Probably because no one can figure out just what the hell he's doing. Is it installing democracy? Regime change? Nation building? A limited intervention to save the civilians? No combat flights? No boots of the ground? A combat flight crashing and being saved by boots on teh ground? Depending on which admin czar you listen to and what time of day it is, it's all and none of the above. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
