    It's the free market at work... Is it not? 90% of the workforce is from surrounding areas, with some people commuting 2 hours each way. If people are looking at you like you're nuts, it ain't the shorts. I've lived in the South Bay my whole life, I would never think twice about seeing someone wear shorts, any time of year. We hate brown people? That's a new one. Did you happen to take a gander at how many of those engineers were brown? Mountain view is JUST barley a white majority.

    Sen.Tom Cotton (R) spoke on "Face the Nation" On Sunday and stated that Iran already controls Terhan. It appears the situation is much graver than we thought. http://youtu.be/mX8y-91tfCo

    Without my glasses, I thought this was a completely different topic.

    Perhaps we will all be treated to the Iranian version of the Duggers.

    Good for her... But living in Bierut is not a good place to start getting uppity. she should get use to hanging out with Rushdie.

    More often than not, I'm not nearly as witty as I think I am.

    One more reason why my kids won't be going to college. Seriously??? After starting a thread about Carson and his Homophobic views, I'm then going to say I'm afraid of my kid catching the gay virus?

    I really thought my sarcasm would have been noticed. I also thought my reputation as a flaming liberal would have been taking into account.

    While shopping in the Alleppo souk in 2007, I had the owner of a small silver buiness invite to the back of his store for Tea. While he was preparing the tea, he whispered to me that he was gay. I never quite got the feeling that he was hitting on me, he just seemed releaved that he could finally tell someone. He told me if anyone there found out about him, his life would be ruined That was a very interesting experience, unfortunatly, the souk, that did have the claim to fame as being the longest running market in the world, has been lost to the war.

    I don't believe the "gay is a choice" argument is represented correctly in this type of rebuttal. They're not saying that heterosexuals made the choice to be heterosexual. Rather their position is that everyone is born heterosexual, but occasionally a few unfortunate souls make a regretable decision to abandon this default status to become homo. Nobody decides to become hetero (because everyone gets that for free at birth) but some people do decide later to convert to homo. Therefore the standard jibe of, "When did you decide to become heterosexual?" is essentially attacking a strawman.

    Dr Ben Carson believes it's a choice. I really never remembered my sexuality being much of a choice. What say you? http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/04/politics/ben-carson-prisons-gay-choice/

    It's starts like this. "In their continued war on women and sexist attitudes the Rebublicans -------------" Meh... 40% on each side will vote their ticket regardless, this could significantly affect the middle 20%, they could go either way.

    The only other pic I could find.

    They did Somebody thought they could sneak it home from the Phillipines in the hanger bay. The captain found out on the way back to San diego. He simple said "Get it off my Ship" I'm on the ship's FB group and there seems to be only a few pics and no video. The truck seems so much older than I remembered.

    And FWIW, it's the flight deck of the USS Constellation, somewhere in the eastern Pacific, returning from the Persian Gulf in 1980.

    If I were a Republican, I would be ecstatic enough with this and not worry about making shit up.

    Anyone know the model and year of this truck? It's minutes away from accelerating quicker than any earthbound vehicle ever has... I think. 0 MPH to 150 MPH in 2 seconds, I wish I could find video.

    Bibi has only Israel to worry about. One or two Dems I heard mentioned his lousy record with this stuff as a reason to not pay attention to him. They lost that point, though, in the other fluff and bs. And yet him an obama agree do agree on one thing. http://www.motherjones.com/blue-marble/2015/03/netanyahu-obama-climate-change-terrorism

    Because we all know what wonderful strategic advice Netanyahu's has given us in the past concerning the Middle East. Remember when he claimed their would be wonderful benifits that the region would see if we gave Sadam the boot? He's just trying to get re-elected, over half of his own country wants him out of office.

    After watching gasoline prices mirror the price of crude, I've seen the price of gas go up $1.00 a gallon in the last month, 25 cents last Friday alone. Crude oil has hovered around $50 during this same period. I really hate oil companies... What other type of business sees their profits soar when they have labor unrest and fires? "In Torrance, station owner Frank Scotto was forced to increase his prices by 24 cents per gallon on Thursday. He hasn't seen such a spike since he went into the gas station business in 1967, he said." http://www.businessinsider.com/gas-prices-in-california-are-going-nuts-2015-3

    Probably a combination of both. 60 minutes is going to make anyone look bad if that's what they decide to do. Perhaps Anderson is shorting LL himself?
