trump's muslim ban has 'been 'bout entry as 'posed to deportation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-pushes-expanded-ban-on-muslims-and-other-foreigners/2016/06/13/c9988e96-317d-11e6-8ff7-7b6c1998b7a0_story.html the ban were original targeting any muslim entering the country, but trump's plan has evolved a bit. is still a ridiculous plan, and would be struck down by SCOTUS, but is not 'bout deporting muslims. deportation o' illegals is a different issue. the illegals issue is a bit more complex and is perfect trump fodder as gut-level sympathy for people who is admitted doing something illegal is gonna be low. the fact that many illegals has been getting away with their criminal activity for decades tends to reduce empathy rather than increas. after all, US immigration policies is already 'mongst the western world's most lax. regardless, the trump muslim ban has been 'bout entrance. HA! Good Fun!

Gorth got laid off? Shady did. As for moving back, let's just say I missed the climate and the geckos No that answer is lacking in accurate information, Gorth please dont break your record by being laconic or nebulous with your views What do you mean by weather ? The UK only has good weather in summer...you knew that ? But why not go back to Denmark,,,,where do your friends live? In Oz I assume...so do you consider Oz your home ? You should know by now that I'm almost physically incapable of lying... not even the little white lies. Truth is indeed that i missed the pleasant climate here in the sub tropics. Denmark is even worse than the UK, being cold and miserable 11 months most years. As for "home" and friends... being an old introvert I never had a large social circle, a few good friends, several of which I've had for 2-3 decades are not deterred by a bit of geographical distance. Besides the weather, I just felt claustrophobic in Europe. Whether in Germany or the UK, it was like it didn't matter where you went, if felt like there were hordes of people everywhere and endless queues of cars, even on the smallest of country roads. I just needed to get back to a place where I can get away from people when I feel like it, open empty areas without any people nearby just an hour or two away. does gorth like rabbit? gd likely has more recipes for rabbit than does Gromnir. personal, am planning to end up in idaho on a ranch/christmas tree farm 100 miles from nowhere. HA! Good Fun!

Bragging about how he gets away with sexual assault is a few steps beyond "something rude." anybody else waiting for a wod link to a dubious article that proves that 103% of women actual wanna be gropped by creepy celebrities? HA! Good Fun!

They lie about everything else, so why not? Hah, good one. Wait...unless your being serious. Please don't be serious. is difficult to be certain, no? HA! Good Fun!

queen is a qualifying exception. odd. is there a particular demand for cher impersonators in britain? HA! Good Fun!

gotta say the gif is pretty darn unfunny from our pov. disquieting.

http://www.swtor.com/eternal-throne/home december 2 and november 29 early access *shrug* am embarrassed to admit that we did buy the recent released sanguine somethingorother armour via gtn so we could unlock the outfit on all characters. the set is improbable ugly, almost intentional ugly, but it includes an eyepatch... for the just in case we wanna look like a cliche movie/cartoon pirate moments. HA! Good Fun!

is more than a couple best moment threads, and variations on the theme, having appeared on these boards and and the old ip boards. our response has been largely unchanged since late 1999. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/61866-what-was-your-favourite-quest-in-an-rpg-why/?p=1258604 ravel's incarnations all provide memorable encounters, but the resolution o' the ravel story as it plays out in mebbeth's hut in ragpicker's square is our best moment in a game. HA! Good Fun!

in all fairness, Gromnir don't dig J. Thomas. wod's third linked article attempts to imagine a flaw as a strength-- no Justice on the Court so often writes solo opinions, and he is one o' the Justices least likely to be called 'pon to write a majority opinion. why? answer is simple: he ain't a good writer. he ain't a brilliant scholar. write legal opinions is an exercise in argument... is persuasive writing. the fact that Thomas so often writes solo opinions don't mean he is wrong, but it does tend to indicate that he failed to persuade any o' the other Justices. fifty years from now only a handful o' legal scholars and historians will recall Thomas' contributions to the Court... and a few constitutional law attorneys. high school kids will never be exposed to a Thomas opinion that resulted in a cultural sea change. even university students, 'less they is poli-sci majors or somesuch, will likely only be exposed to Thomas in connection with the anita hill situation. and that is too bad. while Thomas's writings is pedestrian at best, he clear has had influence on his fellow Justices. dc v. heller and citizens united v. federal election commission won't be discussed fully w/o recognition o' Thomas' impact, but he didn't actual author either opinion. even so, build a museum o' African-american history and one need recognize the historical relevance o' events and people not only now but in the future. 50 years from now Clarence Thomas is gonna be little more than a footnote worthy personage for historians. is too bad, but is also reality. as we noted earlier, the politician's criticism o' Clarence Thomas is largely unfounded-- as with all the current Justices, Thomas is primarily driven by his legal philosophy. casual observers likes to divide Justices based on liberal v. conservative, and that just don't work in most cases. sanctimonious liberal politician wanna criticize J. Thomas 'cause he is a black man who opposes affirmative action? *shakes head* is J. Thomas' integrity that prevents him from comprising his beliefs. as a judge, we should be applauding those men and women who show such character on the bench. would you respect a catholic judge who treated catholic plaintiffs and catholic issues as if they were special or unique? Gromnir wouldn't. J. Thomas is an admirable judge, but ain't a particular significant Justice. is kinda ironic that such a recognition cannot be voiced w/o offending. would be dangerous to careers to admit such. nevertheless, would be amusing to see how folks react if the Smithsonian actual were honest and observed that Clarence Thomas just ain't relevant enough to get more than footnote kinda coverage in a museum of african-american history. HA! Good Fun!

The only other consumer car that's close is the Accord. Maybe a charger if you want to deal with dodge. The Cherokee that killed Anton was because of the ****ing stupid shifter design. I drove a 300 with that shifted and it doesn't provide enough feedback to inform you that you've changed gears. gives at least 2 visual indicators to let the driver know he is in park, and an auditory one as well. the shifter itself displays whether or not you are in park and an indication is displayed via instrument panel. in the version we drove, there were also the hud. is also a distinct beep/ding, but if music is being played too loud, such sounds could be missed. is different. you don't feel the shift as change from park to drive. also, the shifter does not lock in place when parked. nevertheless, there is multiple feedback options. HA! Good Fun!

wod, as usual, can't read. or doesn't bother to read... or doesn't understand what he read. take your pick. "Over the past three terms, no justice has written more concurring opinions or dissents than Justice Thomas." should sound familiar after reading Gromnir's post. we already noted that clarence thomas doesn't deserve the ire he receives from politicians and that his opinions has primarily been influential on Justices o' the Court... which were the point of wod's second linked article (although as it were 2014, am thinking it is a bit dated given some o' the obvious recent changes.) and again, the fact that not everybody agrees about thomas were exactly what we referenced when we observed, " in a museum dedicated to african-american history, clarence thomas is gonna be a divisive presence." so, posting links to articles that support Gromnir is a poor way to show, "Not everyone agrees with Gromnir's opinion of Justice Thomas" again, we used quotations accurate to show wod how it is 'posed to work. aside: hurl should recognize futility. given the obliviousness he shown for recent faux pas with linking random and suspect sources, am doubting you will convince wod o' his error. HA! Good Fun!

Why would I do that? I'm not publishing stories here. Do you really feel sending an email is digging deep? well, that advice mighta' saved him some grief a bit earlier in the thread. HA! Good Fun!

damn stalinists. good luck. is too bad there ain't any new released games that seem binge-worthy. ... 'course if you quit like did ed norton from fight club, then am guessing congrats are in order. am not being a &$%# by observing that the following is nsfw. HA! Good Fun!

Research is a Stalinist plot to indoctrinate people into Marxism. but clarence thomas was a stalinist. oh, the humanity! truly a moral/immoral conundrum. how do the stalinists feel 'bout excluding a fellow stalinist? as an aside, am not too surprised if clarence thomas' history has been glossed over. he is a taciturn Justice who, perhaps ironically, is one o' the most prolific writers on the Court. the thing is, J Thomas' voluminous writings is primarily concurrences and dissents. and as the second african-american Justice, he don't quite have same trailblazer cache as does thurgood marshall. larry doby mr. doby were the first black player in the american league o' mlb, and the second african-american to play in the big leagues after jackie robinson. mr. doby faced same/similar hurdles as robinson, but other than hardcore baseball fans, the number o' folks who recognize larry doby is small. "Larry Doby was a good and honorable man, and a tremendous athlete and manager. He had a profound influence on the game of baseball, and he will be missed. As the first African American player in the American League, he helped lead the Cleveland Indians to their last World Series title in 1948, became a nine-time All-Star and was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. Laura joins me in sending our condolences to Larry's family during this difficult time." -george w.bush 'pon the death o' larry doby is larry doby in the museum? if he is, am betting that he gets much more limited recognition than jackie robinson. clarence thomas doesn't deserve much o' the ire he has drawn from politicians. it took J. Thomas a few years to develop a coherent guiding philosophy, but since then he has been consistent if convoluted. clarence thomas were not a groundbreaker culturally or philosophically. he were the second black Justice, and his concurrences and dissents were tending to be influential only o' other Justices. his decidedly libertarian and originalist opinions offended democrats and minorities. his willingness to use the Declaration o' Independence as a legal lighthouse offended more than a few legal scholars. the refusal to even recognize lawyers during oral arguments angered everybody in the legal community other than fellow Justices. a willingness to quote ayn rand nowadays is also gonna cheese off politicians on both sides o' the aisle. so yeah, in a museum dedicated to african-american history, clarence thomas is gonna be a divisive presence. am not taking wod's sources (HA!) as dispositive o' some kinda neglect o' J. Thomas, but it would not surprise us if such happened to the Court's Larry Doby. would be an unfortunate but predictable oversight. HA! Good Fun!

am suspecting that if it were a random guy who didn't set his parking brake and got outta his vehicle, which were on a slope, and he managed to get dead while standing behind the still running car, folks would be more likely to chalk this one up to user error, particularly as fed investigators didn't note mechanical problems. is tragic, but am doubting there would be much anger directed at the auto maker in question save for the fact that the one person who died due to jeep's "mistake" were a famous personage. there were indeed a safety recall on the class o' cars in question, but that weren't resulting from mechanical error so much as a recognition that the gear shift design change resulted in a small number o' drivers being... confused. *shrug* am thinking one can see from the video that a distracted driver unfamiliar with the design might have problems getting his vehicle into park. can't help but be reminded o' the audi 5000. the brake pedal on the audi were indeed placed different and were o' unfamiliar size for the typical american driver. numerous fatal accidents resulted. in a sense, there were a design flaw in the audi... but not really. no mechanical problem and the only design flaw were that it were different. familiar. am gonna give jeep the benefit o' the doubt on anton seeing as how investigators didn't discover a problem... and 'cause if anybody else had died in the same accident, given the circumstances, we would be assuming user error until it were shown to be otherwise. as to chill observations, we mention the audi and bmw as they is actual comparable (better in many respects) than the volvo that you were considering. if you want a genuine off-road vehicle, we would choose other than the volvo, audi or bmw. volvo is not great off-road and it has noted lack o' coordination o' the powertrains. take leferd advice if you want a good mix o' performance, reliability and value. or maybe wait for the land rover discovery? HA! Good Fun!

he seems to be shopping in the hoity-toity range o' full-size suvs along with the audi q7... but not quite the bentley bentayga or mercedes amg g65. could wait a year for one o' the hellcat powered jeep grand cherokees, but am suspecting the price tag would be excessive. http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/jeep-grand-cherokee-hellcat-production/ as an aside, having already mentioned jeep, we were shocked by how much we enjoyed driving a jeep cherokee trailhawk. we had a 1978 jeep cherokee that we put through hell before switching to a ford ranger pickup as our primary vehicle. we never considered buying another cherokee given how they kinda became soccer mom vehicles for a couple decades... that and it felt weird driving a vehicle named after an indian tribe. then we got a chance to play around with the trailhawk version o' a 2016 grand cherokee and we were pleasant surprised. for a former old skool rock donkey, we were quite happy with how well the trailhawk performed off-road in spite o' the lack o' solid axles. is likely we woulda' purchased one if not for the fact that our dogs need a bit more room than the vehicle provides. HA! Good Fun! ps the 2017 version o' the trailhawk cherokee will have 10.8" o' clearance... not that anybody cares.

2x in the past year, Gromnir has had to get rearview mirrors replaced 'cause cyclists smashed 'em as they tried to squeeze past our teutonic monstrosity, and failed. am knowing that josh sawyer is one o' those hardcore cyclist-rights activists, but am getting to the point where we see a cyclist trying to thread his/her way through traffic and we suffer a sensation similar to biting into aluminum foil. HA! Good Fun! ps is not as if the cyclist/demolitionists stopped after damaging our vehicle. smash the car and keep on biking 'cause it ain't like we can get a license plate number, and we sure as heck ain't gonna get outta the vehicle and chase 'em on foot in our magnanni loafers.

possible the time in our adult life when we watched the least tv were the late 90s and early 00s. is almost fifteen years o' near zero tv. we complete missed out on the sopranos and the wire. am thinking we saw angel only eventual on tnt. saw deadwood after the fact via dvd releases. the two shows we did watch w/o fail during the early aughts both got cancelled w/o a full +20 episode season: firefly & wonderfalls. work, the gym and games... and a whole lotta reading. am still catching up on tv from that time period-- have been meaning to see the wire. ... the only reason Gromnir were aware o' the pretender is 'cause o' the guy who voiced tno. HA! Good Fun!

You're making an assumption here. This very thread is based on assumptions. Unless you enlighten everyone. perhaps he thinks it's more fun to be smug and mock your ignorance. that ain't an assumption. is simple a statement o' a possibility rather than our guess as to actual motivations. HA! Good Fun!

... "Good way to avoid responding." again, you linked to an article that draws parallels 'tween sjw to fascists and stalinists based on the author's personal experience viewing bad internet behavior o' sjw proponents? the article were incoherent. you didn't even realize that it were complete nonsense. you linked to an article that fails any number logical fallacies, an article written by joshua goldberg which you is still inexplicable trying to defend. HA! Good Fun!

Ive been meaning to watch this too but for some reason my wife gives me the stinkeye every time I think about renting it. Its weird, shes down for any genre but that movie in particular gets her throwing the veto. am not a fan o' tom cruise, but we liked edge of tomorrow. is not exact a resounding endorsement, but... HA! Good Fun!

failed to read article keeps resulting in same fail *Compared to the people who claim to be on “the right side of history” and crusaders for “social justice”, Stormfront is a bastion of kindness and civility. What does that say about you, SJWs, when you make neo-Nazis look positively civilized by comparison?* what does it say? it says nothing as far as logic is concerned. the question mark does not mean that joshua is actually asking a question btw. is an ad hominem. is untrue and ad hominem. and ignore the appeal to authority, false continuum problems is not helping your Non-response. HA! Good Fun!

in the joshua goldberg article? are you serious? am sensing we are at the crux o' the problem. Good way to avoid responding. Give me one or two examples, or stfu. *chuckle* we weren't avoiding, we were incredulous. ad hominem is in abundance. "I have been on the Internet since I was a small child and I have perused some of the most extreme and disturbing corners of the web. I have had personal encounters with every manner of vile cretin – the sorts of people who would make even Charles Manson himself blush." even if some sjw folks has said mean things, how does that show that they is wrong? to dismiss 'cause folks says mean is ad hominem. and suggestion that we take his word 'cause he is a self appointed expert on the intraweb is an appeal to authority. already a couple. we can go on, but is pretty much every paragraph that includes examples o' logic challenged nonsense. he confuses association with causation regularly. and like yourself, he fails to recognize the false continuum at every turn. neo-nazis and sjw is lumped together 'cause they both have identifiable "bad guys" as targets? wahuh? honest, review the following for a start: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/resources/logical-fallacies maybe pick up a copy o' copi. if you really wish, we can start a new thread so you can dissect the article by joshua goldberg and further expose your ignorance. am willing to oblige. HA! Good Fun! edit: apparent we thought it were too much fun as we added our catchphrase 2x. apologies.

in the joshua goldberg article? are you serious? am sensing we are at the crux o' the problem.
