So the college grad--who now has two-to-ten times the lifetime earning potential of the high school grad--should have the balance of his already-subsidized tuition paid for, in part, by said high school grads? We've done this discussion before, Prole. Just get a job, pay back your loan, and thank the people of the state in which you studied for the huge portion of your education they generously paid to begin with.

Well said. What will it take to finally pull the plug on cc.com's resident pompous windbag aka Tvastarketena? Sadly, an endless stream of TR camping reports, "recons", half-pitches, tall tales, and unsolicited pictures of other people's girlfriends seem to be his saving grace for whatever reason. The cliche "Limousine Liberal" was invented for this guy.

...forecast for the next 48 hours in the Olympics and Cascades. Remember what 18 inches did to Sunshine Campground, the WT, and the road to Paradise? Better pump up those mountain bike tires or change the oil in that Honda Ruckus if you want to get to your favorite trail head this summer. Shit!

as long as they are American whores doing American processed crack putting your American minted Ike's into American made slots the mechanical ones not those new fangled bandits with chinese boards inside and American swords made with American steel not that Hans u Hi tori shit they make in japan mmmhmmmm.

No. What Israel is doing is defending itself from an adversary who is not at all interested in peace.

I think we should cut off all aid of this kind, but last time I checked we give almost as much to Egypt as we do Israel.

...and the heirs of Marxism/Leninism as well. If you look like a duck, walk like a duck, quack like a duck...

Fine, then!

I imagine Israel's interests were different in 1980 than they are today--as were ours. As for the rest, surely you can do better than Huffingtonpost and Salon--left wing equivalents of Rush Limbaugh and Hannity. Dude, give it a rest.

Solar panels will just plunder blue-light photons produced in the stellar core that were intended to travel the universe. Is it right that we humans interrupt their journey and enslave them in such a manner? I mean, we're talking about UV that will be forced to produce work and never convert to IR to find it's way back out into space. It's just wrong, wrong, wrong.

Doh! I always forget that. Twin Sisters Lakes. I was, like, 2 miles off.

Hmmm. Definitely South Washington Cascades. White Pass region. Tumac Mountain area. Blankenship Lake?

I was about to key in on the same lines but also add that Isreal needs to deal with land ownership with in the 48 boarders for some of that land is legally owned by Arabs pre 48 and these people sould have the same rights as jews in Isreal and not second class citizen,thay should be able to vote and run for office!IMO The population of Israel is 20% Arab, 76% Jewish, and 4% other. Arabs can vote and run for office in Israel proper, so I'm not sure where you got your information. The issue of land ownership inside the 1948 boundaries would have to be balanced by like issues of confiscated Jewish land outside the boundaries. How far back shall we go? As for palestinian "right of return", this would mean the end of Israel and it will never happen. Period.

If Israel returned to the 1948 boundaries I don't think it would change anything. There are plenty of groups (including Hamas), and even nation-states (Iran), that continue to call for the complete destruction of Israel. Do you honestly think this would change? I'll bet it would only embolden.

Nah, my last project was the Sarah Palin hate collage. Unfortunately, the glue wouldn't stick with all the liberal misogynist hypocrisy dripping down the face of the work and the finished project turned out worse than the portrait of Dorian Gray. I'll share it with you via PM if you like--it's really u-g-l-y. Nice to see you're on the correct side of at least one issue, but I think you're being too kind to those who really do want to assign blame certain to Jews. I guess it was the title of this thread and its obvious implication that bothered me the most.

Um, Lemme guess j_b: The Moon landings never happened. Second shooter on the grassy knoll. WT #7 controlled demolition. Melting point of steel. Bush planned 9/11. FDR knew of imminent Japanese attack. The Builderburgers. Illuminati. (Of course!) Masonic order. Skull and Bones. Does this about sum up the dark corners of your belief system, j_b?

So who, exactly, is/was Hamas targeting with their indiscriminate rocket fire into small Israeli towns? The Israeli military? Where is your outrage? Are you claiming it's ok for Hamas to target civilians because they're really, really, really angry? Again, where is your outrage? You have none, because you agree with those who want to exterminate Jews. Yes.

Is LP gas more atmosphere-friendly than gasoline? More efficient? I honestly don't know. It must take a fair amount of energy to compress it initially, and that would have to be factored into the equation too. Anyone?

Above, you referred to the "murder" of thousands, but now you say "casualties". Apparently, you don't understand the difference, or are once again trying to leave your lies the cover of semantics. Weak tactics and arguments from a weak mind.

j_b: you should really come to terms with your hatred of the Jewish people.

Looks like about 75% of the 360 deaths are combatants/Hamas males. 25% civilian; regrettable, but hardly thousands. The Hamas target of the New Year's Day 2000-pounder sent his own fucking 16 year old son to die as a suicide bomber years earlier. Forgive me, but it's hard to mourn the death of his remaining sons. Nice fella: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/01/20091218131371179.html

There may have been a palestine, but never a Palestine. ?Comprendes? The UN of today in no way resembles the UN of 1947. Wednesday they tried to force a resolution condemning the Israeli air assault without even mentioning Hamas rocket/missile attacks! Fortunately, Israel still has a friend in the United States and this travesty of a resolution was shot down. Do you really believe the UN is pro-Israel today?

Since the UN is currently very anti-Israel and the NYT remains left of center--today calling the bombing of Nizar Rayan's house a "political assassination"--I think it's pretty clear that you are the inconsistent one here. If you honestly believe these two institutions are pro-Israel, then you truly do live in a fantasy. Kill yourself. Seriously.

How convenient for you. Are you claiming they have misquoted Bill Clinton? Lemme guess; you believe the NYT is a Jewish mouthpiece?
