Participant[quote=no_such_reality]Am I the only one the watches the news and think what the hell you taking about. Masterminds, complex attacks yards yadda and what I see is eight guys with machine guns and crowded popular venues.
What’s complicated or masterminded about that?[/quote]
Jeb Bush (and many others) is advocating no-fly zone over Syria. Really? How many ISIS planes are flying there? Whose planes are you going to shoot down? Putin’s?
Participant[quote=njtosd][quote=enron_by_the_sea]If GWB did not invade Iraq to find non existent WMDs, this day would have been avoided.
Sadly the architects of that strategy are still advising many presidential candidates and version 3.0 of that team is coming to to “keep America safe” soon.[/quote]
Hmm – you could also say that if Saddam Hussein had never invaded Kuwait there would have been no need for a truce allowing inspections for WMD (that Hussein later decided not to honor because he didn’t want Iran to know that he didn’t have them).
Perhaps we shouldn’t have intervened in Kuwait? And so on and so on. The middle east has been in a state of unrest forever. I think Trump’s wall should be built around that area.[/quote]
History has already judged GWB’s second Iraq war as purely a war of choice, based on manufactured phony evidence and conducted in an incompetent fashion. The verdict of history on that war is clearly written! People can bury their head in sand and pretend that some other alternate reality exists. I can’t change somebody’s wishful thinking. But history books on the second Iraq war are finished now. They are never going to look at GWB kindly. They will never say that Saddam caused it by invading Kuwait!

Ben Carson Shattering Stereotype About Brain Surgeons Being SmartWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Brain surgeons, long burdened with the onerous reputation of being among the smartest people in the world, are expressing relief that the Republican Presidential candidate Ben Carson is shattering that stereotype once and for all.
In interviews with brain surgeons across the country, the doctors revealed the enormous pressure they felt to live up to their profession’s inflated renown for intelligence before Carson entered the race.

September 5, 2015 at 10:55 AM in reply to: OT: Battle Ground Zero: Murrieta: Invasion of America #789159ParticipantI wonder what native Americans called white settlers? Surely they used more colorful language than just “illegal” !
ParticipantYawn!
Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=FlyerInHi].
Excellent advice, FIH, but I doubt many will take it, no matter WHO the audience is that you’re suggesting this to :=(
It involves foregoing of major consumption, which is too painful for the masses to implement.[/quote]
Why do all that? Let’s blame foreigners
Participant[quote=equalizer]
Then had bad experience with training H1B and salary decline that he blamed on the H1Bs. Like a moron, I stated that well at least they pay local taxes here as opposed to working overseas. That went over like a lead pipe. “Da** foreigners ruining quality of life”
Here is the kicker. No, he wasn’t waving the confederate flag cause he was Asian who had come to US on a student visa.[/quote]
Keep in mind that if he was on a student visa, then he must have been an H1-b himself for a while before getting his green card.
His rant was probably against H1-b users who did not go to U.S. Schools – not against the visa itself because he probably used it too…

Poll: Palin Would Bring Much-Needed Dignity to Republican FieldWASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would bring much-needed dignity to the 2016 Republican field, a new poll shows.
According to the poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, Palin’s ability to articulate her positions on issues with precision and restraint is sorely lacking among other entrants in the G.O.P. race.
Additionally, voters said that the former governor’s breadth of knowledge in the fields of economics, foreign affairs, and American history would place her head and shoulders above the current crop of Republican hopefuls.

ParticipantThe powers that run the city have already made a deal in the smoke filled room. There will be chargers stadium built (whether it makes sense or not.). There will not be any public vote.
The only thing remaining is to now make a show of tough negotiations with chargers and sell the deal down the throat of San Diegans.
Get on with the plan …
ParticipantDoes it fall under a CFD? If not, go for it.
Never, Never, never , never buy houses that have a CFD. Those are filled with over-indebted homerenters whose luck is going to run out tomorrow.
Houses without CFD are filled with super-moneyed homeowners with big fat pensions and no worries. They also have character (especially those with river rock fireplaces). However, by definition, you can not buy those houses, because they will never sell..
(P.S. Don’t take it seriously. Just kidding 🙂 )
ParticipantInteresting article about Anti-vaccine movement made 100-years ago.
Some of agruments people were making back then about small-pox vaccine were:
(1) Vaccines “caused” an increase in cancer
Before autism was something anti-vaccination activists linked to inoculations (despite substantial evidence to the contrary), other common diseases were said to be the result of vaccination — once again without a demonstration of causality.
“Cancer is reported to be increasing not only in England and the Continent, but in all parts of the world where vaccination is practised,” British activist William Tebb wrote in an 1892 paper.
(2) Vaccines are the result of a conspiracy by the medical establishment Vaccines are the result of a conspiracy by the lamestream media
J.M. Peebles wrote an entire anti-vaccination book after the school system in San Diego refused to let pupils without vaccines attend classes. (Sound familiar?) In the book, Peebles accused the media of refusing to give equal weight to the anti-vaccination argument, as part of an elite power conspiracy theory that, again, should sound familiar.
ParticipantWhile the whole country (including Mr.s Paul & Christy ) were hyperventilating about Ebola, Measles is the one that is spreading!
