Re: Russia
To be fair, the Democrats are no better. The same Dems who mocked Mitt Romney for saying during the debates that Russia was the top international threat are now screaming for Russian blood. Context is everything. In 2012 Russia hadn't annexed a chunk of the Ukraine and wasn't low-key trying to anne...
Re: Trump
I'm having difficulty figuring out this response because I did not write any of the things you quoted me as writing - those are your words which I am claiming are false statements. Statements can be false in many ways, so responding to whatever set of straw men or teacups you are imagining doesn't ...
Re: Trump
Just out of curiosity... in all fairness to whom? The Holocaust was undeniable horrible, but it is not unique in it's methodology or results. One, the methodology of Genocide has been defined fairly well. All genocides follow the same general steps. Two, if you exclude the non jewish deaths, then y...
Re: Trump
Then again, no one batted an eye when Hillary's SecState release on the Holocaust didn't explictly mention the Jews. [...] What's the difference, exactly? Do you seriously not see it? And do you seriously think nobody batted an eye at anti-Semitic or weak statements on the Holocaust before Trump? I...
Re: Trump
I am very sorry to intrude with real facts as opposed to these alternative ones but the Israelis are not committing genocide against the Palestinians. https://ccrjustice.org/genocide-palestinian-people-international-law-and-human-rights-perspective http://genocidewatch.net/category/updates/byregion...
Re: Trump

The United States joins the global community in marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Each year, we gather together to commemorate the victims of one of the worst tragedies...

I can only assume Jeffy is talking about Frankie's husband. Could be a different guy.
Re: Trump
Just out of curiosity... in all fairness to whom? Fairness to the Jews, to the non jews, to all humanity? The Holocaust was undeniable horrible, but it is not unique in it's methodology or results. It's one example of genocide, to be found concurrent with many others. It's unique in that it was one...
Re: Trump
In all fairness, some 11 to 13 million people died in the holocaust and they were not all Jews. Yes, the Nazis targeted Jews, specifically. They also targeted intellectuals who questioned their quasi-religious idealogy, those who mocked them through satire, those who were mentally handicapped, homos...

Re: Have you ever served in the military (a poll)
Joe didn't serve I don't think. I miss him, from llamas to aeroplanes, he was neat. Ray also never served. Andy(Paladin) served/serves. MacSwift on Deep Resonance was, if I remember correctly, former bundeswehr who joined the US army and became an officer. There's... laws. I can't remember his old h...
Re: Trump
While I understand the real problems of "trump is literally hitler", the replies that this parallels the end of the Roman Republic, or Pedron in argentina is exactly the point: While trump may not litteraly be hitler, he is an authoritarian, and his close aides are nationalists. And the co...
Re: Trump
Trump is looking supiciously like Hindenberg, and Bannon is looking like. You know. Which means I guess Spicer is Goebbels, though Milo could be Goebbels. Still need a KDP and Rotfront to stir up violence with the hooligans so you can approve "special emergency powers" that will never be r...
Re: Trump
So 1 out of 2 trump supporters are racists, and all that other jazz? Only on the republican side can we find deplorable who use racist language, sexist language, etc? Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test. Look, Democrats lost most among their "core": minorities. Hispanic, African Americ...

Re: Most Efficient Lighting
It may not be the most efficient, but I don't think you can get better than a good hardwood flame.
Of course, ventilation and scorching are negatives, but, well, you cannot have everything.

Re: Dog Howling
I think it's a form of communication. Howls carry for a long distance, with parts in the audible spectrum we cannot hear. Dogs apparently can understand about 300 words in a human language, so I would not be surprised if they have a primitive language of their own.
Re: Trump
I think people have been a little hard, unnecessarily, on Comey. I can understand his legitimate fears: a Clinton presidency marks the end of his career, his lower ranks are frothing for blood, his boss was basically in the clinton's circle. And he had a relatively simple case against her, one that ...

Oh yes. Massive. To the tunes of 400,000 tons, I think, for the newest one. And they never break even.

So, The elephant in the room...
Everything is horrible, everything is bad, if the terrorists don' get us, Russia will. The climate is getting worse, the oil is running out, the water is running out, we are all gonna be slaves to the credit card companies. People will be able to use whatever bathrooms they want, because we will be ...

Re: Political "debates"
Once again I will throw my hat into the defense of ones right to use substances that alter the mind and arevpossibly addicting. The central theme of my opposition to prohibition schemes are that they are subject to corruption, encourage crime and are non effective for actually combating substance ab...
