This is like a fun little exercise. I like in step 5, where they just assume everyone is bloodthirsty and waiting for their chance to hulk out, instead of trying to engage with you in a dialog about why you felt the need to punch someone in the face, where you admit that you grew up in a broken home and hated by your family and just really need love and a hand up.

9. Use your one phone call with your lawyer to try to explain why you felt a disagreement about foreign policy was worth an assault conviction.

Also for three try "because that's literally what ISIS wants because it's how they recruit people."

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say: "Punch him in the face, and then watch him get up and try to punch you, your buddies, your mother, your father, and your children in the face, just to get to you."

Because that's what they are really advocating for.

Got this beautiful and classy reply earlier...

I do plenty of research. Maybe you don't do enough, or maybe you don't know how to interpret everything you're looking at quite right- I'm not sure.

Either way, something you maybe should know is that not everything I post I 100% agree with necessarily. Sometimes it's to get people talking, or to question what we were taught; as I am also a scientist. The best learners are those who constantly question everything, and if you knew anything about me you would know I've always done this- questioned everything. So before you point the finger at me for spreading misinformation, think twice because I always have a good reason for posting things. You may not always know what my motive is, but that's really not for you to know or judge. Even if my opinions do differ from yours every once in awhile, it doesn't make mine wrong or yours right. So I really don't have much else to say right now. I'm sick, I'm having major surgery soon, and I'd really like rest and get better without you nagging me about a post that was true and has nothing to do with pharmacy in the first place.

I'm not sure what your problem with my most recent post was anyway, I just found it to be interesting (the series of events) and posted that article- as others may also find that information interesting. I'm also friends with mainly highly educated people who can make their own decisions on the validity of what I post- it wasn't made public, I share with my friends only. Additionally, you say I spread misinformation, but that did happen before the Paris attacks. It's also common knowledge (or should be) that countries typically know that an attack is coming before it happens. There is some information out there that shows France did know these attacks were coming and didn't know how to stop it, but I don't believe I posted my information on that- as it would be very controversial, no matter how true it is. In fact that was the case here before 9/11. We knew the attacks were coming and did nothing to stop it. I know that as FACT. However, I am unable to release my source(s) on that information due to how it could affect the security of our country. And most likely you can't find that information in research yet, as I believe that sort of information is sealed for 50 years. I've been very up to date with what's going on with The Islamic State and Paris, Beruit, and Baghdad and the events that occurred in Japan, etc. So I'm not sure, nor do I really care, what you find to be so wrong with the fact the Facebook took down a method of reporting people/ profiles associated with the Islamic State (or maybe you still refer to them as ISIS) right before the Paris attacks happened. I also really don't understand what that has to do with my pharmacy career in general and why that gives you any sort of right to push your opinions on me or to judge me as a future pharmacist.

I have plenty of other health care professionals (not just pharmacists, but doctors and nurses too) on here and some of them have seen some of your past posts, ex. GMOs, thought you needed to do some research, were wrong for coming at me the way you did, and that clearly you had no idea what you were talking about; yet you ARE a licensed Pharmacist. That's probably more scary. Nutrition counseling can be important if your the only health professional a patient talks to about diet and if your supporting GMO's you definitely don't have their best interest or the environments best interest at hand. Plenty of research shows that.

Now, like I said earlier I'm sick, I'm having major surgery soon, and I'd really like rest and get better or unwind be able to have my surgery and I really need to be able to have this surgery as scheduled. So if you would like to entertain conversations more once I've recovered in a few months, I'd be happy to talk with you more then, but right now I need to focus on my health and preparing for all possible outcomes from this surgery.

Pittsburgh is stored in the balls.

It's kind of fails in the analogy as the "liberal" in question has been sitting on top of them pummeling them and their entire extended family in some fashion since August 2nd, 1990.

The reality of discussion on retaliation is not "we hit them back" or "we stand there and take it". It's "we hit them back harder" or "we keep hitting them just as hard as we have been".

I thought it was common knowledge that the plans for the 9/11 attacks were at least known about by some intelligence agencies. I don't want to touch on whether the reason for not acting was incompetence, inability, a lack of specifics, or a conspiracy; but have I accidently absorbed some truther garbage into my memory? Were the plans known?

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



I think what it was was that several agencies (NSA, CIA, FBI, etc) had different info on each perpetrator that if pieced together could of given enough indication they were planning something and it should of been looked into.

But each agency had almost no communicaton with each other so it never got looked into until it was too late.

It's a far cry from the "Well the government knew it was coming and did nothing." But then again reality is never as ridiculous as conspiracy theories say it is. Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity etc etc..

The great thing about that image is that most service men who have been in actual combat are cautious to move into war. Generals tend to be reluctant on committing people to death. Its regular conservative assholes that have no problem with sending people to their death. So I'd love for that person to act all tough on a service member.

Hard to make a political statement when you can't even form a coherent sentence.

Interestingly enough I saw some research on this stuff at a conference last year. Those who read meaning into these non sensical word salads demonstrated a notable lack of critical thinking. Turns out all that wish washy garbage plays on the same idea as horoscopes; vague descriptions that people inject meaning into.
