...is a Rhodes scholar with a doctorate. Hey, just having a conversation here.

I hear they used phantom bombs, too.

Thats exactly what I thought when he said the part about voting again I was shocked that he would say that and thought it was a poor joke, then when he said it wouldn't hurt anything, I was like no way he just said that. When he ended with the part about electing the DA and everyone cheered I realized he wasn't joking at all and he meant it. I think the people laughed at first because they thought the same also, or it was a nervous laugh. http://assets.academy.com/mgen/34/10095934.jpg?is=500,500

"Oh, fuck!"

Dude, you misspelled "cactus".

Any American adult (not apropos anyone in particular) who does not realize that that was an obvious joke and a play on the old cliche' joke is a fucking fool.

IMO this is getting into splitting hairs. I only considered those made specifically for sport use. Back in the '60's, Gary Patmor was doing a lot of work modifying some military openers for sport useage. They were available but really never did catch on. For an AAD, Steve Snyder is the man. Jerry Baumchen Didn't the Russians have a simple and pretty reliable AAD which was basically a wind-up timer.. wind it up like a music box, insert the safety pin attached to a static line connected to the plane... Jumper away pulls the pin, the winder unwinds for, say, 10 seconds and it activates on the main. .... ?

Did it differ much from saturating it with Scotchgard or silicon spray?

You got me thinking. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22horse+manure%22+business&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=nts

I think she likes me! Pull her pigtail and dip it in the inkwell.

Your current icon is almost a dead-ringer of her. Maybe therein lies the problem.

Google sez she's worked with multiple producers, and is currently represented by agent David Wirtschafter. But, maybe my search needs refining.

I invented dumping through my legs while on my back in a flat spin in the mid-1970s.

I knew that. I was just seeing if Lawrocket knew that. And yet he said nothing. For almost 10 months. Doesn't he look silly now?

Sounds like a lot of really pissed off people. Me, I try not to make a living out of pissed off people any more. Too much aggravation; and Ya know what? - life's too short.

That's your third spin-up of my words to fit your argument. Strike three. You're out.

Meh. Paul McCartney was 23 when he wrote "Yesterday". More than 2,200 artists have covered it, more than any other copyrighted song in history Pfft. Mozart started composing at age 5. Lotta bands cover his stuff, too.

Martin Luther King would have all of them peaceably demonstrate publicly en masse, and if that didn't get enough people's attention, would organize a nation-wide general strike by all African-Americans. He eventually caught a bullet as a young man for his leadership. Malcom X would take note that, clearly, not enough people's attention had been obtained, and he would advocate the means necessary by which the disenfranchised and powerless get the attention of the enfranchised, and the powerful. Sometimes that means smacking society upside the head by means of riot. (Sometimes, as in the case of the anarchists in the early 20th Century, it meant violence and targeted bombings.) With time and experience breaking bread with Caucasian Muslims during his hajj, his personality matured and his views and methods became less radicalized. Alas, he, too, caught a bullet as a young man, and both white bigots and black radicals alike said good riddance.

You grossly underestimate the group outrage throughout every segment of the American black population nation-wide today. Out of curiosity, are you justifying their irrational behavior, or just explaining it? Poor attempt at spinning my point. Answer: neither. Not playing the game. I will neutrally rephrase the question. Are you justifying the riots and looting, or just explaining a possible reason why they do it? Still a spin, so I'll just answer my way. I am explaining why black people of virtually every economic stratum, level of education and occupation throughout the US feel outraged every time there's a shooting of an unarmed black person by an armed non-black person, and feels that way about this case, too.

And if they're really, really good, they become Internet gods and achieve immortality.

I respectfully urge all to please consider this (and I hope this post is permitted to remain here): http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4685811;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread

Yeah. You didn't really read my post, did you?

exactly. so he was justified to warn them about jay-walking. and how can you say he wasn't aware that these kids had possibly robbed the store when he was with them? And when they responded to his request to get off the street with a profanity and kept on walking, is what started the whole confrontation. Mouth off to a cop like that, guarandamnteed the cop is going to do something about it. Walking While Black is a most serious offense.

..which is just a step away from drinking beer. Nip that shit in the bud.

Let's talk about profiling...last night Rox stops at a grocery to get some last minute Thanksgiving stuff and a couple of bottles of liquor. Not a terrible neighborhood but not the best either. The way that liquor works in Ohio is it has to be purchased separately and bagged up. So when you leave the store you have liquor in brown paper bag your other stuff in their own bags (plastic). As she leave 4 black youths appear from the nearest corner of the store and start following her to her car. She could tell they were interested in what she had in her cart. They were getting pretty close when all of a sudden the cop that was at the door yelled something to the effect of "you guys planning on helping that lady with her groceries?" They took off running. Profiling works and I'm glad they do it here in Ohio (and I'm glad we can still get plastic bags...lol) Yes, if they were white youths doing the exact same thing it wouldn't have raised a shred of suspicion. Especially if they wore, you know, penny loafers and stuff.
