Holy poo poo, the bumper sticker is bad enough but they're taking up 5 parking spaces. It's like they're daring someone to key their truck.

I'd try something like this to teach them a lesson but they'd probably just end up shooting me.

Also it's something you only do when the other car is at least as nice as yours.

Where did you get this stupid idea? Taking up two spots is never ok, blocking their driver side door is probably the most tame "lesson".



If their car is less nice than yours, it greatly increases the chances that they'll slam their doors into you or scrape you on the way out.

the mountain is cool and all, but calling it a pyramid is sensationalist bullshit. that cnn article even refers to it as a "structure", implying it was made by some kind of intelligence. science journalism is poo poo.



http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Structural+Geology

quote:

The term “structure” is understood in structural geology to mean the spatial arrangement of rocks and of bedding irregularities resulting primarily from diastrophism. The principal task of structural geology is to investigate the external appearance (morphology) of structural forms, the kinematic processes of the displacement of matter that lead to the formation of structures, and the dynamic conditions (the arrangement and nature of the applied forces causing deformation) involved.

I don't think we have enough bullets to kill everybody who could fight us China.

The US spends 4x what China does on the military and has a much smaller population. If we can't find enough bullets for all of them, that means that they probably can't even feed their own, much less fully equip.



There was someone posting a while back who said that the parade soldiers and weapons aren't even functional or trained - they do nothing but train for parades and the actual military gets like 5 bullets a year for target practice.

"Black people not wanting to be harassed and murdered by the police are totally ruining my property values you guys!"

When will we recognize who the true victims are?

Also,

quote:

The real estate market actually improved following the riots in most parts of metro St. Louis. Home sales in the region were up 12.8 percent in the first half of this year compared with a year earlier, according to figures from the St. Louis Association of Realtors. That mirrors a national trend toward recovering sales and prices after a weak year in 2014.

Home sales were up only 2 percent in north St. Louis County, but that market was trailing the rest of the region even before the trouble. In Ferguson itself, 15 homes sold in the first half of this year, down from 18 a year earlier.

After every racist black power group put hits out on him and it was getting where everyone was wanting to hunt him down, why not leave?

The USS Texas (the only remaining dreadnought) is in a similar sorry state. Supposedly they're still plugging holes in the hull with rags and the plans to place her in a dry berth have apparently been shelved due to a lack of money.


Too bad it doesn't have the original lattice masts and superstructure.


I've toured the Mikasa and I wish they had restored the interior to original, to get an idea of what life on those old ships was like

I think some of it might be that the fulfillment of his 20 year dream of successfully inviting the Pope to address Congress saw members of his own party and faith snub the Pope for being a filthy liberal.

It was an early Medieval idea. They didn't know what the pyramids were so they jumped to conclusions based on the story in the Bible about Joseph overseeing storage of food in Egypt to last for a 7 year famine.
