  1. The left was waiting for this? What a pathetic statement.
  2. Well, Obama urged latino voters to "punish our enemies", it was in Arizona and Giffords was for stronger borders - so, not a far reach to assume it was a left-wing nutjob that pulled the trigger. It's not like the tea baggers were displaying guns at rallies to protest Democratic members of Congress.
  3. The work of a right wing nutjob, perhaps? You don't joke about guns at airports and you don't joke about guns with politicians. This was beyond Palin's comprehension. Bachman also spoke of "second amendment solutions"
  4. A very sad day. http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-national/breaking-news-arizona-congresswoman-a-critic-of-obama-shot-the-head
  5. This seems closer to reality. http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Commercial_Pilot/Salary But then again, from the same web site: www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Airline_Pilot,_Copilot,_or_Flight_Engineer/Salary The description posted on your site was for "airplane pilot" I thought a commercial pilot was a bit closer to that than an 'airline pilot" Private and recreational pilots are not paid at all. You would agree there are paid commercial pilots other than airline pilots? and these pilots, on average make less than airline pilots?
  6. This week? more like since DZ stared. I was going after Bill O, that was my intent. Not like you ever rehash a subject.
  7. The person who makes a claim has the burden of proving his claim. Claiming there is no God does not require presenting evidence, that falls on the person making the claim that there is a God. Having seen zero compelling evidence supporting the existence of a God, The same way I dismissed Santa Clause at the age of 5 with 100% certainty, I dismiss there is a God(s). Saying anyone who is certain either way about God is foolish, is taking the easy way out.
  8. In response the White House will just start appointing barons. Seems the GOP is already forgetting their promise to cite constitutional authority on every bill, what a surprise. And then the two GOP clowns who thought they could be sworn in to Congress at a fund raiser.... Priceless.
  9. I can't believe he said this: http://www.examiner.com/humanist-in-national/bill-o-reilly-fights-atheism-and-loses-claims-ocean-tides-a-divine-mystery

  12. Thank god those are not California wages.
  13. Another tea bagger nut... A member of Congress no less. http://newsodrome.com/journalism_news/allen-west-obama-should-put-his-life-on-the-line-when-he-visits-afghanistan-23064792
  14. Limbaugh sure let Pelosi Have it. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/09/17/rush_on_pelosi_getting_emotional_tears_of_a_clown.html What a fucking dick.
  15. Yeah, they are all in alphabetical order...strange.... You may or may not have noticed all the Islamic countries forbid gays from serving. You probably never knew that you and Islam have so much in common.
  16. Bingo. As a pediatric nurse, I try to convince parents to vaccinate their children and many seem to have no interest in science, just the bullshit that Jenny and Oprah have pushed for years. Oprah was the first to push this bullshit 10 years ago and I would love to see her now retract her bullshit. Jenny's child may have skewed her thinking, Oprah has no excuse.
  17. But he was only a black man right? This is the reason they should speed up executions, then theres no time for finding out about all the minor details.
  18. These countries don't seem to have an issue: Albania Argentina Australia Austria Belgium Canada Republic of China Colombia Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Republic of Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta The Netherlands New Zealand Norway Peru Philippines Poland Romania Russia Serbia Slovenia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Thailand United Kingdom Thses countries do: Antigua and Barbuda Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belize Botswana Brunei Cameroon Cuba Cyprus Dominica Egypt Fiji Ghana Grenada Guyana Iran Kenya Kiribati Jamaica Lesotho Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mozambique Namibia Nauru Nigeria North Korea Pakistan Papua New Guinea Saudi Arabia Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Solomon Islands South Korea Sri Lanka St. Kitts and Nevis St. Lucia St. Vincent and the Grenadines Swaziland Syria Tanzania Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Turkey Tuvalu Uganda Vanuatu Venezuela Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe Notice a pattern ?
  19. And yet one more who loves to dine at the buffet table of biblical scripture; I'll take a little of this... not so much of that... I'll take all of of this. Did Jesus not say that he has not come to abolish the law but fulfill it? (Matthew 5:17-20) When it comes to bashing Gays and all the capital punishment crap Christians always turn to the OT. I guess this also means the ten commandments are out. How do you handle the women that will not cover their head in church? Do you shave them as is prescribed by Paul? It is in the NT after all. 1 Thessalonians 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. The silly stuff is just not reserved for the OT.
  20. Obama would just bow to their leader and apoligize for our ships being in the way of their bombs! Your observations of foreign affairs are truly impressive, thank you for sharing. It is a shame that a man with such powerful and deep insight would waste it here with us on DZ.com.
  21. True but, again, who said anything about sinking them? Conventional weapons have been fired in anger during limited engagements without the nations involved collapsing into all-out war, and it'll happen again too. Diplomacy didn't just suddenly replace war when nuclear weapons came along. Rather, nations have opted for a mix of diplomacy and what I'll euphemistically call "warm force projection" to get what they want. Why do you think we have all these aircraft carriers in the first place? Is this kind of weapon something both the departments of defense and state should keep in the back of their heads? Certainly. Does its development or even its use during an engagement sometime in the future necessitate escalation into an all-out war? No. The idea that we'd have to bring the world to an end over a boat has just as much bravado behind it as the "bring it, we're invincible!" comments. I guess you can "kill" a carrier without sinking it but if we ever get to the point where it gets to where they fire on a carrier, we as a country are fucked. For starters the world markets would collapse overnight and we would all be digging bomb shelters. Weapons have been fired in limited engagements before, but not by super powers. This is done by second rate countries under the proxy of a super power to test their weapons, but none recently. Why do we have carries? intimidation. They work great with third world nations, not so much with the bigger ones. Back in 84, when I was on the Constellation, we parked off Somalia for a few days. We had the Somali president come on board for a tour. Normally when we had a tour for a dignitary they would let them climb all over the F-14's and even sit in the cockpit. Not this one. They roped off the plane and when they showed it to him, he was not smiling, the situation seemed very tense, I don't know what was said but I think it was a warning for one reason or another.
  22. If it it ever comes down to the Chinese trying to sink our carriers, I think it would be safe to say that the world as we know it is over.
  23. If you were voting for Whitman in the California Govenor's race, it would have been worth 47.00 dollars. This is the amount she spent of her own money. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2010/11/04/whitmans-campaign-cost-her-46-per-vote/
