Quote from: VoteQuimby on March 13, 2016, 12:43:38 PMThe "silence is consent" part is a bit odd considering that I thought the SWJ were up in arms about the plague of campus rape etc. Now they say if the victim is silent she consented?

Quote from: SciFiAuthor on March 13, 2016, 03:06:22 PMI'm all for better logistics and use of rail but we still need trucks for places not on major railheads and local transport. Would like to see less of them on some roads- though as traffic is bad enough as it is. If I were a trucker I would worry more about the allowing of cheap Mexican trucks and, worse, a future of 'driverless' trucks at some point. But it is insane to say no more trucking.
Nice, send all the truck drivers to the unemployment line.
Quote from: RealCool Daddio on March 13, 2016, 03:10:14 PMWhat is more disturbing to me is that Trump thinks the BLM, Bernie supporters, and the usual other agitators etc have jobs or money from which he could take in a lawsuit! They are, pretty much, effectively judgement-proof likely.
I find it interesting that when given the opportunity to decry the violence in his wake, Trump chooses to talk about how he is going to "ruin people's lives". Odd that you think it is CNN's fault.

After the 2018 coup replaces President Donald Trump with a military triumvirate, historians will trace the fault line of American democracy's demise back to these two guys:
Quote from: RealCool Daddio on March 13, 2016, 11:46:58 AMYeah, it never happened or happens! All these "rightwing" newspapers and sites, like HuffPost, just made it all up!

Quote from: Hautex on March 12, 2016, 02:46:56 PMThat sounds fun. And interesting. Lots of like-types of festivals like that pre-Lent but I wasn't aware of after. A bizarre origin of a wet t-shirt contest or a 'show yer tits' so popular in other festivals that have gone mainstream or to cheap dvd? Kidding. I recall in Cologne etc there is a time during Carnival in which the girls can cut off the men's ties and are "in charge." There also was, as I recall various dressing up in Catholic parts of Holland. But all these were, before start of Lent- one last hurrah before the fast etc. I like your version to celebrate ending after Easter with more than church, an egg hunt, and supper. Sounds fun.
I'm only annoyed because the Polish celebration I grew up with, as did my parents and grandparents, is considered socially inappropriate almost everywhere but western New York. Dyngus day (or Dingus) is a tradition that is celebrated March 28th, with guys getting girls wet via whatever method works, water or cologne, then stroking their legs with pussy willows. Girls get the chance for revenge the next day by throwing dishes and crockery at the boys.... I know it sounds like a typical weekend at the trailer park, but it had an aura of springtime renewal and even included a parade.... and yes, plenty of alcohol. http://www.dyngusday.com/#!our-story/p95ly What bizarre local celebration did you grow up with?
Quote from: Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost on March 12, 2016, 06:58:11 PMHa, thanks I think the same of you. I was being a bit facetious, with the "false flag" "inside job" comments, I thought folks would get. But, then again. But to me individuals matter; not racial, ethnic, or religious groups- but when one of any says "I'm the enemy" I won't say, no you are not once they attack. If I look at history, maybe selfishly, I will say for all the "bad" done I will take Western Civilization and even Christianity over the others. And I don't wish to offend anyone or ever use personal attacks. Sorry, if did so. But I do find this idea that some methods or conspiracy theorizing are only 'allowed' for some situations or, even, believed based intentional of presumed badness. But, depending on situation- or especially who, or what groups (since it is all about identity politics and race, thank you Obama, and decades of cultural revisionism, political correctness, etc,) the same type of tactics, or even conspiracy theory, are verboten? Not a few decades ago attacking, for example, black school kids forced into white schools- or worse bused into outside of district schools was vilified. Rightly so. And the Democrats who did it in the South, or in Boston, moved on. But now BLM types can shut down an airport? Illegals can shut down roads? "Activists" routinely shut down schools, political speeches, throw bottles, rocks, even shoot and burn and loot because BLM or illegals need more hand-outs? BLM- they even tend to kill more of each OTHER on a yearly basis than "evil white cops" or even KKK over history? Crazy! Illegals matter- but look at where they come from or how they treat each other to get over here! Yeah, the best of the best. Crazy!
You know I think you're a good guy, but that's pretty rich coming from someone who sees the hand of "that character" behind most of our country's problems. Cheers, man!
Quote from: RealCool Daddio on March 12, 2016, 05:42:19 PMIt is certainly true in Europe, not here yet (most rapes, as with murder, here as still within same race. The blacks have killed far more blacks than even the KKK ever did. Because BLM. Just in the past few years compared to all historical KKK lynchings! Compare Chicago's murder rate with towns even in slave days, which were horrible days. Slavery is still costing this country- morally and economically. Imagine if we never had black slavery. All the costs over the centuries, and now, saved.) Sweden, for example, if one looks at the rape statistics where formerly peaceful places, remember Sweden? That socialist paradise where even terrorists or anti-draft folks could flee? When you can find them. The police and media are now instructed not to publicize race, ethnic status, religion, or if an immigrant or on the dole in many cases. Sweden now contends with some 3rd world hell-holes on rape rates. (Although, yes, Sweden also does a better job reporting and like all stats the definition of rape varies across jurisdiction.)
muh darkies are coming for our wimin folk
Quote from: Value Of Pi on March 12, 2016, 05:34:23 PMHas anybody researched if any of Trump's holdings or investments benefited from 911, another "inside job?"
Yes, it occurred to me. I think your analysis is right on. The later incident when the Secret Service swarmed Trump at the podium to protect him, even if not at all staged, has a similar usefulness for his campaign. Also, the more he can associate the protesters with his Democrat rivals, the more effective this tactic could be.
Quote from: Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost on March 12, 2016, 05:15:28 PMIt could be, everything is an "inside job" or "false flag," now excuse me I've got to relisten to Alex Jones's view of the situation.
Has it occurred to anyone that what happened in Chicago last night was most likely a brilliant strategic move orchestrated by Trump and his campaign to deflect criticism of the treatment of protesters at his rallies and to give him the license to blame any future incidents at his events on “organized†opposition groups?
It seems very fishy that so many obvious protesters were admitted into the venue and allowed to sit together in large groups when entry to Trump events is usually tightly controlled. The campaign had to know perfectly well that the protesters were going to be noisy and demonstrative and that supporters would respond in kind, which would then make safety concerns a valid excuse to cancel. The whole set up looks like it was meticulously planned to make Trump look like the victim and give him the opportunity to feign shock and outrage that he was denied his right to speak by dangerous troublemakers. I don’t believe his cancellation was an act of cowardice, as some have suggested, because I doubt he had any intention of appearing at all. The whole situation seems just a little too convenient coming at the exact time he’s been taking a lot of heat for inciting and condoning violence against protesters not to have been staged.
While there was shouting, shoving, and a few punches after the cancellation was announced, what happened last night in no way resembled a riot. The police were well prepared and appeared to have had control of the situation from the start. They kept the two groups separated, and it looked like most people left the area within an hour. Some protesters as well as Trump supporters undeniably acted like idiots, but not to the point where it looked like things would get seriously out of hand. However, there were enough scenes of minor conflict to allow the Trump campaign to play the voice of reason and give the impression that they had prevented a potentially much more violent situation. I have never liked the guy, but I will always give credit where it is due and I think his campaign pulled off a masterful stunt last night. It’s fortunate nobody got seriously hurt.
Quote from: Zetaspeak on March 12, 2016, 01:03:33 PMYeah but who else? Anybody but Billary and if even 50% of what Trump is saying he believes in or will do it is better off that with Obama and others of his ilk. At least Trump is somewhat strong on the border, a little too soft in my opinion but compared to the others. I will sort of be surprised if he makes it to an election: populists, progressives, pro-Americans, socialists, and/or brash personalities, or any one not in the Parties's pocket, often find themselves taken out, in some way, sometimes violent sometimes by a scandal or sheer weight of media and Party spending. By a crazy, by the establishment, by the media.
I have no sympathy for Trump vs the protesters, when it happened to Bernie Trump went on twitter and mocked him saying "If he can't defend his mic how can he defend the nation". Now the shoe on the other foot and it's all "poor Trump" from him and his supporters. Well I will just reply the same, if the nation is under attack will Trump run and hide like he did yesterday. Two could play that game. He and his supporters always have double standard, or better yet no standards.
Speaking of standards, of all the crazy stuff surrounding Trump. I don't think I have ever seen anyone lie so pathologically and compulsively as Trump. Look I am not that naïve, people lie. But most people lie under 3 circumstances. 1) Put on the spot, Somebody ask you a gotcha question and you make something up on the spot. 2) The truth is so bad, that you figure you have no other option but lie. 3) Something that's really difficult to confirm.
But to lie about Steaks, magazines and water? Again it's not like he was put on the spot, he waited a few days and did this whole dog an pony show by showing fake items like generic water with his sticker on it, a glorified pamphlet for his hotel, and steaks that might be steaks sold at Trump hotel but it's not "his brand". For all the things to lie about, why this, especially it's so easy to confirm it is a lie? He could have easily of said "I been in business a long time, nobody has a 1.000 batting average, you win some, you lose some. But I like to take chances and I win much more than a lose" Would anybody think badly over a reply like that, instead of doing this fake informercial and coming off as a total charlatan.
Of course the saddest thing is his supporters will not blink an eye, the most creepiest thing he said was that he can shot somebody and his voters will still vote for him. That's a comment says it all, that there no standard he needs to go by, his supports will like him anyway. Which makes me wonder, if he's willing to lie over something so meaningless like steaks, water and magazines. Why do his supporters think he's telling the truth about anything else. It remind me of somebody who's marrying someone with a bad reputation and multiple divorces then somehow is shocked when they get cheated on? You somehow don't see a pattern?

Glenn Beck is likely crying over this incident- even though he hates Trump.
Quote from: Uncle Duke on March 12, 2016, 12:10:21 PMYah, although dying on a sunk sub seem a bad nightmare NK leadership does far worse for those that 'disappoint' Dear Leader. According to other articles it is a Project 633 diesel (aka "Romeo Class" NATO-wise) built in China in the early/mid 70's- or build from Chinese parts between 76-1995. They lost one in 1985. I hope Dear Leader doesn't accuse us, or an ally, and do something stupid.

Probably better for crew to have drown than go home sans sub. NK leadership not known for understanding in situations like this.
Quote from: FightTheFuture on March 12, 2016, 10:07:37 AMHa, a "Daily Mail" reference! Nice. Supported Oswald Mosley, British Union of Fascists, and benign towards Hitler's Czech adventure; and you complain about "salutes!"

Quote from: FightTheFuture on March 12, 2016, 08:29:53 AMMaybe? Of course the "Roman" salute has nothing to do with racism, sexism, etc historically except for a small short period of time in history. But, yeah, not a good idea for folks to use. It still is used when taking office or assuming a commission and in parade in many South American countries and Mexico and was the preferred, instructed way for children to salute the flag during the pledge of allegiance until Mussolini popularized it and then a certain Austrian made it worse symbolically. Doesn't stop many countries from still using though, including those where precious illegals come from. (You probably don't even know about the Christian minister, who was a socialist by the way, who wrote the Pledge and the "Bellamy" salute.) Here is another demented woman using it. (Note the Islamic moon symbol behind her even. )

Quote from: Faustina on March 12, 2016, 02:51:45 AMYeah, nobody can't think that when it gets so late and listening to RCH etc. Especially since Obama was here today and there was so much disruption with normal things (traffic, schools, airport, etc) but Trump just wanted to talk and they sent the minions and activists to attack. I still think it could be a Clinton trick vis-a-vis Trump but hope not.
The caller made an interesting all too brief point about Trump's physical safety. I've wondered if he might be "taken out," a la JFK.

Quote from: (Sandman) Logan-5 on March 12, 2016, 02:20:43 AMIt would've been more interesting than "Big Short." And likely more audience. People don't give a shit about S&L, BCCI, LIBOR, Front-running, etc etc etc or the collateralize debt obligations and bailouts- but if it would be spun like some grandma got booked a ticket on CONSPIRA-cruise and might: get bilked, steal inheritance, die, or get encouraged to change will? You have a modern Christie-esque novel and a good movie.
Yes, that would be funny.
Quote from: (Sandman) Logan-5 on March 12, 2016, 02:16:23 AMYeah, that stuff was hilarious. I don't know why someone hasn't made into a movie but, I guess, it is such a marginalized group, it wouldn't be funny. But? Maybe at least a local news scoop?
