As for me, I've looked down the barrel of a pistol, up close, three times in my life, one held by a certifiable sociopath who ended up behind bars, and I stand by what I say. I'd much rather see it.

At any rate the chances of being a 'victim' are pretty darn low.

Fair enough. If you've been there I'm not going to argue.

As for strange, I had no idea you could do this or that you would bother. Supposedly the Japanese grow them so they will fit is the small refrigerators many Japanese have. How about just buying a small watermelon?

Lol.... Geometry! From a 'practical engineer's' POv, it's great with a caveat. Pack your frig with boxes it could cause icing of the cooling coil by restricting airflow.
Production Economies? Dunno.

You all didnyt ask about the stories on what happened... the other two were part of sorta funny stories, Maybe I'll tell 'em here when I get bored... under 'Well, the sixties had strange days, too!'

Strange Days Indeed --- most peculiar, mama.

And now from the intellectual wing of the anti-Obama front.

http://harddawn.com/are-militant-atheis ... in-heaven/

Here's a "highlight"

America’s massive science-industrial complex is attempting a most dangerous experiment. Since Lyndon Johnson’s presidency, we have seen a grave movement towards science-based strategic thinking in all forms of national policy. Whole swathes of government have been taken over by academic PhDs with an intense obsession with scientism. From the National Science Board to the Department of Education, from NASA to the National Institute of Standards, a powerful cadre of elite intellectuals is seizing control. A common thread amongst these activist bureaucrats is a love of science over God.

President George W. Bush famously fought against the scientists entrenched in his administration. At many points they promoted evolution “theory” and “global warming” over good old-fashioned common sense. They tried to uproot Christianity in our schools through activist judges. And while President Bush fought the good fight, he ultimately did not win the battle. The long line of anti-theists ruling the inner halls of power since Lyndon Johnson remained in control.

So what is at the heart of this secret society of globalist atheism? One of their most significant concerns is the power of Faith. They despise the Glory of Jesus and the hope that He brings to countless Americans. The atheists are so insanely dedicated to their obscene cult they will try just about anything to destroy every remnant of Christian Love on this earth. As this sickening obsession was wed to advances in aerial spraying technology in the last century, one can surmise the evil compound that resulted. In this formula, it seems quite logical that the atheist’s next step would be to attempt the widespread murder of Jesus’s very Heavenly Agents of Love.

Science bad; science kill angels -- the REAL message of the creationist earth science haters. It is to larf.

You can't make this shit up. You know why? Some nut job already has.

Well, Don....For that piece 'Tin Foil' giveaway: 'Aerial Spraying'.
I'll say it again. You dont need a conspiracy when you got a narrative.
That the event resulting from a narrative fall neatly into a 'conspiracy' doesnt mean there ARE secret meetings to carry it out. Probably be better off if there were.
We see right now how well "Plans" work.
***
To illustrate how narrative works, in the abstract....
How ironic is this?
'Men are failing us,' says woman planning demonstration

Lots of things come to mind.. mainly 'words' like all listed here:

Whatever .. it's the logical culmination of several threads of Progressive narrative. And I'll assume she's blackballed from NOW.

Yeah... you actually have to click the links - all safe enough for your sensibilities, btw, not one to a RW site - and READ the stories.

Here's another one you wont understand:

http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/n...l-officials-are-no-fans-of-gun-ban-signs.html
,, cuz any picture of a gun is scary!

While schools didn’t allow guns even before the concealed-carry law was passed, they still are required to display the reminder. Some officials are questioning the mandate, and some find the sticker image disturbing.
...
While complying with state law isn’t a point of contention, some school administrators find the sticker’s image to be a bit alarming.

“One of my biggest concerns as a principal is safety and security,” Tinley Park High School Principal Theresa Nolan said. “It is bothersome to have to post a sticker of a gun that says, ‘Hey, folks, leave your guns at home.’ ”

Nolan said she is not opposed to posting it, she’s just worried that not enough people are aware of what it means and could misinterpret the new signage.

“I think the general public will be alarmed by it and wonder if people have been allowed to bring guns to school in the past,” she said.

She THINKS it will alarm the 'General Public' meaning uneducated / unsophisticated / uninformed people, I assume. or maybe just women?

Gee, I'm sorry that people .. mainly us conservative / libertarian retards point and laugh at these idiots.. and I feel bad about it because almost all of them are female.
I now have TWO sisters-in-law with Concealed Carry papers. Neither of them are likely to have to use them. But neither are emotion driven basket cases, either. None of my brothers carry.

I did click on the links and read what was there.

What I didn't understand was stuff like this:

You have a corkscrew way of writing that's hard to penetrate at most times.

Seriously? This from a guy who used to teach this stuff?
yet..
- Once said on here, when a member said he was an 'Anarcho/Marxist', that he saw no connection between the two. REALLY!!!????
- Also told me about Obama's Community Org days: ' I doubt he and Alinsky traded notes.'

Whose only political comments seem to be referenced against 'Faux News' and sometimes Limbaugh.. strangely silent on idiocies committed by Progressives, like if the country needs more money, just print more. Or 'Hate speech' uttered against conservatives.

Don, your politics are not private because you dont tell us what they actually are, they're also defined by what you dont say. I'm okay with that... but please dont patronize me by pretending you dont understand the narratives promoted by Howard Zinn, Herbert Marcuse, and then the champ of it all Alinsky. The rest of you who have a college education and dont know those names, shame on you!

Yeah.. I'm obtuse, again. But I dont for a minute think you dont understand me. We're all just observers and dont have the power to change things... doesnt mean we have to play dumb about the big picture. You of all people dont need a roadmap.

Maybe IF YOU WANT STRAIGHT dialogue, you could comment on the strange affiliation/ apologeia between Progressives and those who promote an Islamic Caliphate. While deriding Bible thumping nutjobs.
Let's start with Gay rights... Christians condemn the sin, Muslims just kill the sinner.

HatterDon · Feb 6, 2014

Okay, I give in. I AM the only person on here who understands what you're talking about as much as 40% of the time. You make constant sense and your style enhances your constant logic.

Now, just which Progressives are promoting an Islamic Caliphate again? I'm here to learn -- facts, opinions, and most importantly that wonderful writing style of yours. How else can I learn to think. for. myself.

I'm not really one for goal celebrations, but his one :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: He could've claimed that last guy pushed him. And why didnt he roll around like he'd been shot in the head?

Hehe... he got a red card for head butting the dugout.

dcheather · Feb 12, 2014

Ah...the Irish. One Man U supporter's tirade while watching Fulham draw. Warning, lots and lots of cursing. My advice skip to about 6:20 for the Bent goal reaction. I think the son is in for a little talking to.

You beat me to it Heather. Only I was going to give the video it's own thread. LOL funny. The best parts - the profanity counter, the puppy in his lap, and "dozy pinheads". :lol:

And to harken back to a previous discussion, should I be offended that every reference I've seen to this video in the media feels the need to refer to this man as "Irish".

dcheather · Feb 15, 2014

This is so weird, stupid, and yet I can't help but watch it a few times trying to understand why someone would take the time to put it together?

WTH?

I think the puppy's reactions to him are as good as his reactions to the match. Priceless.

Press release on The IgNobels

BOSTON (Reuters) - Researchers who studied the consequences of intense kissing, the global use of the word "huh?" and how badly bee stings hurt on different parts of the body were among the winners of this year's Ig Nobel prizes for comical scientific achievements.
The annual prizes, meant to entertain and encourage global research and innovation, are awarded by the Annals of Improbable Research as a whimsical counterpart to the Nobel Prizes, which will be announced next month.
Among the 10 awards, three went to teams of researchers that revealed that nearly all mammals regardless of size take about 21 seconds to pee, showed it is possible to partially un-boil an egg with chemicals, and used math to determine how a North African emperor from the 17th century fathered 888 children in just 30 years.
Other teams earned prizes for attaching a weighted stick to a chicken's rear end to demonstrate how dinosaurs might have walked, and for showing that acute appendicitis can be diagnosed by how much pain a patient feels when driven over speed bumps.
Researcher Michael L. Smith shared the physiology and entomology prize for arranging honey bees to sting him repeatedly on 25 different locations on his body, revealing that one of the most painful locations was on his penis.
Former winners of real Nobels handed out the spoof awards at the ceremony at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, organized by Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals. The ceremony included a three-act mini-opera about a competition between the world's millions of species to determine which one is the best.
The Ig Nobel medicine prize went to two teams of researchers who conducted experiments to study the biological effects of intense kissing, which include decreasing skin allergies, and the literature prize was given to researchers who showed that the word "huh?" appears to exist in every language.
Ig Nobel prizes this year also went to researchers who showed many business leaders developed a fondness for risk-taking after surviving natural disasters in childhood, and to the Bangkok Metropolitan Police for offering to pay policemen more money in exchange for not taking bribes.
