Another demonstration how backward the health service is in the UK....No innovation, no advancements, no pioneering achievements. How much would this cost an insurance company IF it was covered?

Their parliament just approved war.  Now, Obama said "There will be costs."

That is true, there is the cost of tank fuel, the cost of life and property.  Obama was right, there will be costs.  Nothing said, nothing done.  We have a limp-wristed president that only has the use of his oratory with no force behind it. 

Next, Chapter please.

How benevolent you are to think of the Ukrainian people, not many right wingers do think of how others struggle with life. Bravo!

Of course he'll get to first base on selection. However his anonymity is no more... So that's a no then.

** STAND BY FOR NEW TRANSMISSION FROM VLADIMIR **

-- ComradePresident Obama, plan going exactly as transmitted via helpful idiot Prime Minister  Medvedev.


да здравствует Родина! Your BFF,

Vlad

Yeah; But it's okay, only a  moron would believe that talks on North Korean nuclear capability had anything to do with the overthrow of a Russian friendly corrupt government in Ukraine by it's people. And as you have no context as to what the hell they were discussing puts you in the same field as the other morons who spout off and speculate on YT who just spout their prejudices rather than informed fact.

BTW, are you suggesting Russia is a communist country?

No offense taken, YP!  Shirley, you jest!

Okay, regarding the aforementioned Jaclyn Smith, I will go public and admit that I have always had a thing for older women... Picked up the habit as a Catholic schoolboy... (Do we have any recovering Catholics who catch my lowgrade pun?)

I'm not Catholic but I too have always been attracted to older women.

** STAND BY FOR TRANSMISSION FROM VLADIMIR ***


---- The weakness[/vts] flexibility of Obama has  led to a new opportunity for reconstitution of former Soviet Union future cooperation between Ukraine and Soviet Union Russia.

Go on then Kissinger; Exactly what would you expect/ want Obama to do about Russian designs on a penninsular that was gifted to Ukraine by a drunken Khrushchev? Naturally the added complication is that a goodly proportion identify themselves as Russian and some Ukrainian. But you knew that of course before defaulting to your predicable anti Obama shot.Didn't you?

the light source is in shot from the lighting I can see, plus the grain and everything, but its clearly a highly directional light source - like a flashlight - since its very bright yet not lighting up the room behind it.... You'd think a real 'orb' would be omni-directional.

Bringing facts to the table helps no-one.

"Chinese values"?  Well, Lord Douchington, here's some of those "Chinese Values":

Chinese Values, Customs and Beliefsby Lea Xu, Vice-President, Lotus Travel Inc.
Ancient viewpoint: “With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown”
"The Chinese take pride in their 5000 years of ancient history and long experience with creating important cornerstones for civilization.  Just a few of the listed inventions that originate from China include:  paper- making, gunpowder, silk, magnetic compass, abacus, ink, wheelbarrow, Chess, tea, paper money, seismograph, kites and umbrellas.   By contrast, Chinese view the US as a relatively “new” country with little history of only  200 years.

Confucianism is part of the ancient tradition upon which Chinese culture is derived.  There are four basic virtues considered the cornerstones of this philosophy and they focus on loyalty; respect for parents and elders; benevolence, and righteousness."

So, to recap: invent practical things, respect parents, oh, and have a 5000+ year old civilization.

Keep drinking that West Virginia water made kool-aid.

Right you are, I changed the last paragraph before reading your reply.

Tsk...quite the charmer.

We have even more in common than I thought!  Well, except that I am one year older (turned 18 in 1980) and was hopelessly geeky, spending my nights working at a small publishing house, playing chess, watching TV with the folks, and dreaming of the day when Jaclyn Smith would finally wander into my little town and realize I was she man she was to supposed to be with!

When I see her next I'll tell it was her loss my friend. It surely was..Sorry for calling you Shirley.

Seems to me some of you here,  act like a Pavlov Dog whenever the word Christian is mentioned.
Sure I understand getting upset with being bombarded with Christian messages but do you ever stop and think the world is a better place, for all the good work done by Christians and their many institutions.

It's same nonsense as people always ranking against the USA and not recognize the world is a much better place with its influence and commitment.

My goodness both the USA and Christians are no where near perfect but what's the alternative?
Chinese values, Muslim values? Keep tearing it apart fools and see what warped totalitarian system gains control.

Oh you were doing so well and on the money until the last paragraph.

Confession time: I've heard Breaking bad mentioned several times, but never watched it. It's why I didn't recognise him.

No one said the Media was exclusively 'left wing'.

- Rush broke the information whiteout with talk radio.  Soon after the internet became popular and anyone could have a news website.  Balance was restored somewhat.

So yeah, there are some bright spots out there.

Rush Limbaugh you mean? And he's balanced? I see....As for the internet being a font of journo's...Yeah, Alex Jones is in that category? News website is fine as long as it's news and not gossip, out of context and biased crap. So that eliminates 99.999% of it then.

However, starting with your insane premise that our troops were/are there for the sole purpose of murdering and pillaging, will only get you the ridicule you deserve. Enjoy.

Nope; Ben didn't say that either...

You really have no clue what you`re talking about. The war(s) had nothing to do with acquiring Iraq`s natural resources, nor Afghanistan`s.

I didn't say it was....I said it was about money. How much do you think has been spent in both theatres? How many US companies do you think have been gifted investments in Iraq?

Hegy how many?

Quote from: Paper*Boy on February 27, 2014, 03:07:33 PM

Well,the linked item was at Breitbart.  Hardly a [art of the Left wing Media.  I'm surprised a keen observer of the US such as yourself doesn't know about Breitbart and his work

Indeed so. Ergo the media isn't exclusively 'left wing'...


Carry on.

Quote from: wr250 on February 27, 2014, 11:47:43 AM

thats because our troops are handicapped by politicians with no real will to win a war. to win a war you overrun and utterly destroy/demoralize  the enemy until they surrender, or are wiped out.

The 'enemy' was/is a philosophy. Afghanistan and especially Iraq were convenient places to drop ordnance on civilians...100000 in Iraq-so far. Babies are being born with defects from depleted uranium rounds. Not to mention the ongoing poverty that many find themselves in.

Afghanistan was host to a Saudia civil engineer turned politician/terrorist leader. However, as we now know, he was finally found and killed in Pakistan, meanwhile the ordnance is still raining down on civilians, and our troops who have suffered huge casualties. As Ben said; It has nothing to do with anything other than money and commercial power. In Iraq, ONLY American companies were permitted to bid for contracts, not Iraqi. A (then) Whitehouse suit held a seminar around about 2004-5, and told the gathering that there was 'A great deal of money to be made in Iraq'. This is while troops, and civilians were dying dozens a  day..

Anyone who still thinks that the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan was to 'spread frdm, and Dmocry, and fight trrism'(Thanks to George Walker Bush) hasn't read the sub text. I know an ex soldier who was in Afghanistan; He came back and told me horrific stories that will never reach the evening news. He was also under no illusion that he was doing a thankless job, with no winners other than those with their nose in the trough.
