Субъект: Re: After all, when has a policy of appeasement ever NOT worked?
(V): "So.. stating something that has been seen to be true in many cases"
But in this case (the one I was talking about) a charge of racism is leveled by someone wielding power and influence to attack a police officer, who did nothing wrong. No politician in his right mind would try pulling a stunt like this, but this is who we have had as president for 4 years and will have for another four.
But at least he's not hiding under his desk, and has learned how to hide in plain sight. He's been running around complaining that Republicans won't work with him, but refuses to sit down to actually meet with them... to work with him. (?) And when Republicans submit a budget or anything they've authored Harry Reed just sits on it... like a hen sitting on an egg.
Maybe it's a game, and the Republicans are supposed to chase after Obama... and if we catch him, then he'll sit down and pretend to seriously negotiate in good faith. Yeah, that must be it... he's playing the 'catch me if you can' game.

Iamon lyme: Depends on who the appeased are. The Nazi's, Iranians, Egyptians, various South American governments who are supported and placed despite being nasty bully killer types.
"He criticised the police for being racist, then held a news meeting with both sides for the purpose of repairing his own image."
So.. stating something that has been seen to be true in many cases. .... .... The Met police in the UK was found to be institutionally racist.... it's being "robustly" dealt with, but that word "robustly" seems to be the in word at the moment for meaning jack.
Субъект: Re: Obama started off embarrassing himself (and us) by going on his world apology tour
Iamon lyme: reWho are you referring to when you say "This part of the world"?
I can't speak for the rest of the world, only the section I inhabit.The opinions here were positive when he toured during the election.I guess you have a different perspective.
Субъект: Re: Obama started off embarrassing himself (and us) by going on his world apology tour
The Col: "This part of the world enjoyed it, and found it refreshing ..I don't think anyone considered it an "apology tour" other than Republicans"
Who are you referring to when you say "This part of the world"?
Of course only Republicans would call it an apology tour... and only Democrats would see it as something that can improve relations between the US and people who regard the US as their enemies. After all, when has a policy of appeasement ever NOT worked?
Obama started off embarrassing himself (and us) by going on his world apology tour, and interjecting himself into news stories that have nothing to do with his job as president. Like the time he commented on a black professor who ran afoul of the law. He criticised the police for being racist, then held a news meeting with both sides for the purpose of repairing his own image. But now he's settled into doing what he does best, making speeches to promote what his party wants. I think this is mostly what he will be doing from here on out. It's either that or hide under his desk for the next four years.
I thought Obama was Carter on steroids, but it's actually the other way around. The difference between Carter and Obama is like the difference between watching a train wreck in real time and watching it in slow motion. Carter created so much havoc in so little time it shocked the voters into making a drastic change. Obama on the other hand just plods along, putting himself in front of the cameras so as to keep us busy focused on peripheral issues.
Republicans have made the mistake of thinking they need to do more than simply hold the line. They will probably lose more ground than they will gain in the next four years no matter what they do, but at least voters will be able to clearly see where the Democrats are taking them...and they will have to decide for themselves if that's where they (the voters) want to go.
Artful Dodger: Dennis Prager statements could apply to all major parties in the USA.. replace lefty with righty and no-one would know the difference.
I pick on that point.
At least you don't have a situation where you've got Silvio Berlusconi running again. You'd think being on trial for sex with underage prostitutes and tax fraud would mean he ineligible.
Субъект: Re:What?!?!? Harvesting green farts was MY idea!! I knew I should have patented it
Iamon lyme: I've already patented a removal of nappy mess system. I bought a load of non used mechanical meat stripping machines (the ones who strip meat of carcases) to recover baby poo. Then it is processed into fertiliser.
Субъект: Re:Hey, don't hate us just because we're gorgeous!
Artful Dodger: No kidding, you would be surprised at some of the "technology" that has been pirated by the 'you know who'... It's not just the high end stuff. A few years ago someone in California went to court to sue (to sue who, the Chinese government?) over a particular type of packing material and design he developed for packaging electronics. He discovered the same packaging material and design was showing up in US markets, but it wasn't his stuff.
But that's not what I wanted to talk about. I had something important to say about farts, but if we keep this up they might have to rename this the Gorgeous Men Farts board.
Субъект: Re:Hey, don't hate us just because we're gorgeous!
(V): "...my idea of an eco green fart deposit station..."
What?!?!? Harvesting green farts was MY idea!! I knew I should have patented it, but I was afraid the Chinese would steal my idea once they found out about it.
My next project is to make and capture rainbow colored farts...
(V): Hey, don't hate us just because we're gorgeous!
It's been so long ago now that I've forgotten what it tastes like. It probably made me gassy, but everything I eat does that so it's not really relevant or even worth mentioning... Obama is an incompetent moron.
Artful Dodger: I did... but not how dense the testing was in certain areas. That the USSR and USA liked to blow up their own country alot... that is scary!!
It's caused a change in the background radiation levels that will not go away for one heck of a long time. No wonder leukaemia cases went through the roof in children. :/
Субъект: Re: I don't blame the school you went to for saying dumb things, but it was you who said she should be sent back to school.
(V): "school"

The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Department of Public Safety has updated an online statement advising female students to consider a variety of unusual actions if they are attacked, including vomiting, urinating and claiming that they are menstruating. The advisory was updated Monday evening, just hours after the Colorado state House of Representatives passed a package of gun control bills that includes one that would make it illegal for people with concealed weapons permits to carry guns on the campuses of public universities.
The chances of an asteroid passing by the same day we see a big meteor like the one seen over Russia is 1 in 100 million. It happens about once every 1,000 years.

(V): "It's a line from a film called "RocknRolla"... the context is not the same as usual!!"
Uh huh... so, what is the 'usual' literal context? I didn't think you meant that literally, although I did (literally) mean it probably wouldn't help (if she was sent back to school).
"Is this line gonna be used forever more?"
ooooOOOOoooo ... In other words, if you don't believe it then it can't be true!!
He was just walking the girls back to their vehicles when two thugs approached the coach and the girls. One guy pulled a gun and grabbed the coach by a chain around his neck. He resisted and they shot him. Then they fought the two girls to the ground and took turns brutally raping them.
Oh wait, I got that wrong. I got the first two sentences right though. But the rest of the story I screwed up. Let me try again.
Police sources tell 7 Action News that a women’s basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot.
Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources.
The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police.
One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We’ve learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled.
Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities.
BTW, the coach is legally registered and has passed the background check.
The other thug in the hospital need to get life in prison.
Субъект: Re: So what? Just because I own an assault rifle doesn't mean I'm going to use it to attack people.
Artful Dodger: It isn't though your average hunting rifle, is it!
You mentioned hammers earlier. They at least require an up close attack, a semi automatic military assault weapon has a range of over 500 yards. It has a magazine that can hold at least 30 rounds, magazines holding 90 rounds can be bought.
Субъект: Re: I wouldn't use a hammer or a club either. I'd use a jack. But that's not the point. One can reasonably argue that there are many purposes for owning a gun.
(V): So what? Just because I own an assault rifle doesn't mean I'm going to use it to attack people. Most people (the vast majority) don't use their guns that way.
