  1. They sure are down with the belt whippings.
  2. I never heard of it until now but I looked up the story and will be sure to give it a viewing.
  3. No, not muslims. Imo, Islam teaches an undercurrent of intolerance. Some act on it, most do not.
  4. I'm willing to concede that I do not know the motivation. Honestly its hard for me to wrap my head around what it must be like to grow up and live in the type of lifestyle of a hardcore/fundamental religion.
  5. Drawing Eyes on Cow Butts May Ward Off Hungry Lions.
  6. I dunno. When a fundamental tenet of a belief system is "smite everyone not of that belief system", then I don't hold out hope for much if any progress into the modern world.
  7. Whats the common denominator in the majority of terrorist attacks? The world is full to the gills with disadvantaged people yet somehow they go about their day without taking it out on random civilians. Or do people just go mad when they don't have a iPhone? And everything is better with drones.
  8. Can we get back to the victim blaming? I'm fascinated that these people brought this on themselves because someone else was poor or on the receiving end of fearful looks (which has a certain delicious irony to it). OF COURSE the only response to poverty is mass killing. Totally nothing to do with the religion. Nothing at all.
  9. ^And dont forget that its your fault.
  10. You heard this from a dating prospect?

    Granted I havent tried to pick up a woman in decades, but I dont get the "line". Is it supposed to be a spin on " go home, youre drunk"?
  12. Drones Will Drop Vaccine-Covered M&Ms to Save Ferrets.
  13. Gfted1 replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
    ^Yeah, my brain wouldnt even process that statement.

    I played it up until I realized I would have to leave my house to play it. Then I uninstalled it. My daughter seems to be enjoying it though.
  15. Brady's appeals petition denied; remains suspended.
  16. Heres hoping for a speedy recovery!
  17. Whats the first letter of the last word in the title? "W"? "U"? "V"?
  18. The Flash TV Show Debuts Wally West as Kid Flash. Canon accurate or not, I'm hatin on the mask.
  19. I don't know much about NA's and what I do know I generally learned from you so please indulge me in a couple more questions: Reservations are made up from the same tribes or tribes are mixed? Assuming the former, I would have expected a closer sense of unity amongst tribesmen, at least while on the reservation. Kinda "us-against-them" but that's not necessarily the case if there is such an antagonistic relationship between the citizens and the authorities? Is there a such thing as discrimination between different tribes?
  20. Um...well...I actually downloaded Pokémon GO. Totally for research purposes with my daughter. Totally. I started the game and there was a Pokémon in the corner of my bedroom! Huzzah! I walked over by there and threw a couple balls at it, missing every time. So I got a little closer. Still kept missing. A little closer now, where I'm literally almost standing in the corner like I put myself on timeout, and I finally catch Squirtle! Then the display changes to a map of my neighborhood and I realized that I actually have to leave my house to play the game. That coupled with the app, without permission on iOS devices, gaining FULL access to your Google account, made for a swift deletion. I aint trying to walk around to play a game.
  21. Are reservation police composed of Native Americans?
  22. Yep. All those locations I listed were visited more than once during my two WESTPAC's. Good times but definitely a young, single persons game.
  23. Oh yeah, I forgot about going to Dubai (UAE). Of course during Gulf War 1 it wasnt the glittering jewel it is today. Oppressive, ridiculous heat and cabbies of questionable hygiene aside, we always had a good time there. Sometimes in the middle of the day large spires would start broadcasting a prayer or something and the bars would stop serving until it was over, which was kinda a bummer. But we learned to overcome and order a crapton of drinks before prayers started to hold us over until the bar reopened. Hilariously Dubai has almost as many Filipino women as the Philippines.
  24. Ive been to a bunch of US states but while I was in the Navy: Hong Kong, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Brazil, Virgin Islands, and Chile (all in the 90's). More recently, the missus and I have taken a shine to any all inclusive resort in Mexico.
