To tell you the truth I just thought it was an opportunity to get my funny little quip about the inclusiveness of high explosive detonations in. I didn’t figure we’d still be talking about it two pages later.

I feel sorry for God. He has been blamed for a lot of stupid s—t over the centuries.

The question is who fired the shot you or her!

Ask someone who has been divorced twice. People like us know what a f——-g marriage really is. My religious conviction teaches me that God loves us all. Can’t imagine he would involve himself in something like marriage if that were true LOL

I should have said that is the perception of it.

In the modern world it’s not enough to just not be discriminatory. If you’re not waving the flag then you are a homophobic bigot even if you’re not.

Actually I think it’s more like appeasing the bear hoping it will eat you last.

Don’t know. But I do think it should be mocked like everything else.

Looks like the Toronto Blue Jays can finally go home

Raytheon would like you all to see the virtue they are signaling. After all, what could be more inclusive and less discriminatory than the detonation of a missile?

Hannibal is one of my favorite figures from history

Carthago delenda est

Sounds like you were talking about “the patriot”. I think the only thing in that movie that was historically accurate is that there was a guy named Cornwallis and there was an American revolution. The similarities end there

Do you know the movie I hated the most? Braveheart. They didn’t even get the freaking year right. Absolutely everything about that movie was wrong. Other than the names of the characters. But the person they screwed over the most was Edward II. It’s true he was nothing like his old man but he was not a sissy. He lost the war because he was brash and couldn’t control his temper. William Wallace and Robert the Bruce never actually met each other. They were certainly never on the same field at the same time. That was Hollywood history at its absolute worst. The fact that so many people liked it and it actually won awards makes it all the worse because it encourages to lay more turds like that outlaw King on Netflix was so much better. It was in a completely historically accurate either but it’s only sin is that is compressed the timeline and skipped over a few things. But everything that is in the movie did happen.

Isn’t that all he’s good for anyway? Anybody who’s going to him for actual insightful commentary has already made a mistake

I remember a couple of glaring historical inaccuracies. I’m kind of a history snob when it comes to the movies. I expect them to get it right and they seldom do. It was a beautiful movie to look at. Cinematography, the cast, all that was great. The plot was a little convoluted and sort of didn’t make a lot of sense but even that I can overlook. But when the US Army is using the wrong type of weapons, the wrong tactics, even combat taking place in the wrong freaking places I can’t get past it. actually I had the same complaint with saving Private Ryan. The Normandy Landing that they depicted was great. Very well done. Stressful just to watch it. But the whole idea of sending a squad of men led by a company commander no less in the middle of the first weeks of the invasion just would never happen. And the premise behind the last battle and the strategic importance of a bridge that was less than 20 foot long. The Wehrmacht corps of engineers could have had that river bridged in a few hours. In the airborne would not have fought to defend it. The moment the first German column was sighted they would’ve evacuated across the river and blown the bridge then set up a defense to attack any of the engineers that tried to repair/bridge the gap. hey I get it it makes for great drama and movies. But it irks me. The funny thing is the war movies I thought were the best ones were the most historically accurate and are sold him the most popular. Gettysburg and Tora Tora Tora are probably my two favorites because they were excellent and very historically accurate. But they probably don’t top anyone else’s list.

It sucked

Sedition hunters use online tools to help FBI must be nice to have hundreds of people helping you do your job LOL. Well, if you do something criminal and stupid you deserve to go to jail. If you do something criminal and stupid and do it on camera then you’re just asking for it. The whole notion that this bunch of yahoos was some kind of attempt to take over the government is just absurd. Who breaks into a place then take selfie’s of them selves there and post it on the Internet? That is just weapons grade stupid. I do like the comment in the article about how there will not be a 911 style congressional commission so we will never get an unbiased report of what actually happened. It’s cute that they think that was what they were going to get from a commission.

In all fairness landing on the Darkside of the moon and landing on Mars China is trotting down a well paved road. The process and physics of doing these things has been worked out for over 50 years. Heck even longer. Even Galileo had a pretty good idea of what orbital mathematics would look like. but you weren’t far off the mark on one thing. When it component of our society tells us that expecting children to get the right answer in math class is a instance of racist white supremacy you have to figure 50 years from now the ability to put things in orbit will be lost to us all in the US.

US Supreme Court to look into male only selective service Conscription is slavery. And is a. s——y thing to do to the army. Professional service members is the only way to go. Volunteers. If the United States homeland were ever actually endanger the military will not want for volunteers. And if you can’t win a foreign war with the army you have maybe you shouldn’t fight it. Besides our defense budget is better invested in strategic rather than tactical assets.

There is a sickness in the human soul. Too many people say I don’t like X. Therefore nobody can have/do/say/think/read/write/eat/drink X. And since you can’t actually control peoples actions you vote for a government that will do it in your stead. People are unable to just leave each other alone. Live and let live. It’s why we can’t have nice things.

I fed the critters, checked the garden, and done a few little jobs. Looks like I’ve got the rest of the day to do nothing. It looks like a good day to sit on the porch, drink iced tea, and catch the ball games on the radio. After that performance yesterday I don’t know if the Marlins will even be willing to show their face on the field.

The physical condition you’re in those guys don’t have a chance against you!
