Pretty much sums up the spray genome.

Any update on his condition?

Riot vs. War? One is the mob tired of the 1%, The other is the 1% tired of the mob.

Have to say it's much ado about nothing, gym ropes are a different breed from what we know as climbing ropes, they have to be bomber and some are not even dynamic in the sense of a true lead rope, as far as their traits go. Why don't you just ask the gym?

Probably cut off of a spool, hence to id tags.

Indeed, but the discussion wasn't about hippies. No, it was that you kinda misunderstand the Swedes.
-
Well the Swedes have one of the largest arms industries in the world and one of the most modern militaries, Bofors are particularly responsible for quite a bit of destruction. So it's not like they're "peaceful" or a hippy commune, in the strict sense. They're kinda like the Swiss--war profiteers that nobody really wants to fuck with b/c they CAN defend themselves. That and they help you fight your own wars.

Hey I'm 50% asshole, and 50% your bro brah.

Your point is assinine, way more than over my head. Have you heard the father of the family that suffered the most? He has only one son left. Why don't you send that point to the families of the kids killed over in France while you're at it. And by association I don't know how it makes the rest of us at cc look but it ain't good.
-
wondered that as well, though haven't been imaginative enough to think of a reason why we'd arrest one guy but not two or more? it's not like there's that big of a difference, scandal-wise? Sounds like it's a pretty sensitive/SF base so who knows what will eventually come out of this. Seems rather like the proverbial onion and we are just getting started peeling.
-
Ok how would you react if somebody(s) murdered your entire family, with the exception of a son, and someone posts that as a response????

Well, back to the thread, from the BBC: It has now also emerged that - along with another man and his company - Sgt Bales owed a reported $1.5m (£950,000) from an arbitration ruling nearly a decade ago which found him guilty of securities fraud while he was working as a stockbroker. We might also ask whether the Afghans are correct in asserting he was not the only person involved........ Well it appears Wall Street was.

The truth is unpopular, since lies are comforting.

'bout sums it up for every woman i ever met You haven't met me, Bud. I'm probably too honest and direct......that's probably a big reason why I'm still single. I'm confused, Ivan sez the women he's been with are dishonest and the Wookie sez she's honest and still single; aren't you two agreeing? -
OR The modern practice of "war" involves surrogates so things seem far more peaceful than they are, the few fight for the most who reap the benefits......

Well you two are just arguing right? You neighbors?

Most of the time there was shooting the combatants only relied on us for arms and for ZERO motivation. They weren't fighting because they loved/hated the U.S., they hated each other's guts and THAT'S why they got after it so enthusiastically. As in during the "troubles" it wasn't as if the IRA were inclined to like communists (after all they were staunch Catholics) or Libyans for that matter, they just HATED the protestants and British in that order. Plus in the Cold War the big international players were definitely not playing peacemaker, more throwing gas on the fire than water. Post cold war the international community makes a much greater effort to stop fighting diplomatically or even intercede militarily (Bosnia, Kosovo, Libya, Ivory Coast, etc) as there is zero danger of touching off WWIII. So the only thing "cold" about that war was that any combat between NATO and Warsaw Pact was covert, while wars elsewhere were much more violent and widespread than they would have been w/o.

Sure from the Western perspective (with exceptions like our civil war), but many wars are more drawn along ethnic, tribal or religious lines. Yugoslavia's disintegration shows that premise well, as do events in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
-
Uh, hello? Civil War? And what about the wars within and between city states within a single nation?
-
Can't trust Congress for anything these days, so I veto their veto.
