Lurdiak: Feb 26, 2006; I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

I'm reminded of the bit on the Daily Show where Stephen Colbert interviewed "the oil industry" as represented by his adorable 10-year-old daughter.

They applied for a registration under "the current name" in 1963, were granted it in 1964, and according to the manufacturer production started in 1964. I somehow doubt they used to call it friend of the family and managed to somehow suppress it from the internet entirely. Are you sure you didn't dream it? Maybe somebody told you this in a schoolyard and you created a false memory of the supposed photo?

Sorry for bringing this old derail back, but I went and found the picture. I guess the full name was "friend of the family-stang", complete with racist imagery.

Bors is also the living embodiment of the smug white liberal, so it's not that surprising that his hot take is contrarian in nature. He was good friends with Rall, after all.

He's no-poo poo pointing to the northern ice cap, which is one half of a global sea ice system that has been in the absolute shitter for years and, in a beautiful karmic twist, has been mostly breaking records since Trump started hitting contender levels in polling last year.

Garrison posted:

Western Civilization in Europe seems bent on self destruction. The media there have brainwashed citizens for decades. They�ve filled minds with a constant drumbeat of political correctness and the need for more globalist collectivism. Too many Europeans have become passive sheep who are taught to �run, hide and tell.� If they do speak out and complain, they get called names such as �racist!� or �Islamophobe!� Jobs could be lost or heavy fines meted out for so called �hate speech.�

Great Britain has at least shown some sign of a backbone. They resisted taxation without representation when they voted for Brexit, but too many of their leaders remain bent on globalism. The latest terror attack in London was good excuse for Theresa May to call for control over the Internet and the end of privacy and free speech. She doesn�t want a good crisis to go to waste.

All the globalists have blood on their hands by pushing for endless Muslim immigration. To them, terror is a tool�a useful excuse that enables them to replace liberty with more control. Merkel and her ilk are allowing the forces of Islam to conquer Europe. It�s part of their collectivist vision of total domination.

Islam needs a reformation. It needs to abandon Sharia Law. It needs to stop being a religion of force and become one of peace. The peaceful Muslims need to do all they can to stop terrorists before they get started. They claim they reject the violence, but too many aren�t doing anything to help stop it.

Mostly, Europe needs to ban immigration altogether and give those already there a chance to assimilate. It�s too bad the Illuminati don�t want that.

I can't wait until Ramirez gives up on the whole label thing and just draws a lengthy discursive essay about what he feels are the causes of terrorism on an object. I guess he's come close a couple of times.

Since I keep seeing this soundbite from the full quote:

quote:

"My message to Londoners and visitors to our great city is to be calm and vigilant today," Mr Khan said. "You will see an increased police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed officers."

"There is no reason to be alarmed by this. We are the safest global city in the world. You saw last night as a consequence of our planning, our preparation, the rehearsals that take place, the swift response from the emergency services tackling the terrorists and also helping the injured.�
