    For many years I had a quarterly DD to a charity of my choice, then suddenly things stepped up, I was inundated with, raffle tickets, “opportunities” to purchase assorted bits of useless merchandise, extra appeals at every opportunity holidays etc, all from the same charity which I already supported.

    Then I discovered that this organisation had enlisted the “help” of one of these so called promotional companies, I don’t know how successful they were over all, but they lost my regular contribution. I don’t believe that many of these companies understand “over kill”.

    My sister now works for the Salvation Army in Wisc. Her first permanent job in her sixty years of life.
    She works as many hours as they can give her that will not make her full time.
    They gave her another few hours a week and now she has jumped up a tax level and lost a lot of items poor people get for being poor but anyway.
    They help they ghetto people, no better word as that is where it is at, but the asinine gov. regulations they must now obey, or end up in court either being charged by the gov. or some “ghetto” sharpy who plays the lawyer game has drastically reduced the help they can give even in the ten years she has been there.

    Dealing with the rules means employees have to put up with abuse handed out by the people, especially children who have respect of no one and no thing, they help.
    The serve God by mercifully helping people attitude is totally gone in some areas, in the U.S., but often by ghetto burn out which comes by having to deal with low to zero standards of decency one finds in such societies.
    My sister works there because she needs a job but she reached burn out decades before she worked there by being among them continually.

    When wars are fought to game type rules, you might be correct but no war yet has reached that point.

    You could say that the US is actually quite a safe place to live.
    After all if everyone has a gun then the death toll is pretty light considering.

    IF everyone had a gun, especially in the large cities controlled by Democrats, it would be but as the majority of civilians in those cities with guns are criminals, it is not as safe as it could be.

    All good points,but you would think the gun nuts would try and keep in good shape to go with their macho image no? Surely this is a mind and body lifestyle for them, getting to play the role of outlaw types that get to sit in a restaurant with a gun down at their hip having fought for this ‘freedom’?

    A firearm is a tool, as are cooking utensils, therefore; you are saying all chefs should be fat as a hog due to a mind and body relationship, fascinating!

    When ever I see a picture of a chef now I will automatically think of a certain person in a Monte Python skit.

    Fury

    Not bad, does seem to be packed out with added violence when the plot gets a bit thin…in fact, not convinced that there actually is a plot.

    The last ‘set’ is sort of unbelievable too.

    One of the film review places on the net found and asked a man who was a WW II veteran tank crew memeber.
    He said except for the last scene, which was pure Hollywood, it was just the way it was during the war in tank warfare.

    This.

    the Eagle’s combat record owes much to meticulous maintenance, lavish information support, as well as the rigorous training and high professionalism of the people which operated it. Put other aircraft in its place with all these advantages available and they’d have produced similar results – as it is, a number of contenders never even got anywhere near the same opportunities (in purely numerical terms) to show what they were capable of, let alone in such favourable circumstances.

    Bingo!

    Hunger Games: Mocking Jay

    Does a good job of showing how propaganda is used by both sides in a war, with cold blooded efficiency.

    Back to the cave for you jonny, drop the machine you are using to comment on this thread on off with a responsible adult on the way! Plus any non-stick utensils, GPS navigation devices, mobile phone(s), television, any tickets for flights you have booked, oh and as you don’t want to know what the weather will be doing you get to stay sat in your cave for the remainder of your life. Do enjoy! 🙂

    Absolutely!

    HotRod magazine had a brief interview with a person who deals with mating metals that fight each other under normal standards.
    They use the term for what is now for sound bytes called 3-D printing but the gent says that the modes they develop usually do not hit the mass market for on average ten years after it is old school for them.

    HMMM, well the Wiki says:

    The Raw Story has been reported and featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, LA Weekly, the New York Post, the Toronto Star, The Hill, Rolling Stone, The Advocate, Roll Call, and Mother Jones.Boasting an average 2.5 million readers per month (2013), the site is described by Newsweek as, “Muck, raked: If you’re looking for alleged GOP malfeasance, the folks at rawstory.com are frequently scooping the mainstream media.”

    The Raw Story’s original reporting has also been referenced by MSNBC’s Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher and Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

    Yep, real honest reporting there.

    Yes, completely. The fight against ISIS is motivated mostly by the humanitarian threat they represent. You can’t defeat that by causing even more civilian casualties.

    That is pc bs at its worst.
    The pc crap being foisted on grunts for the past forty years got a lot of soldiers killed for no reason but political gain by scum-bag politicians.

    The only reason WWII ended as quickly as it did was there was no pc crap in play.
    You defeat ISIS by killing them till there are no more to kill; letting them butcher thousand civilians for humanitarian reasons to save ten is asinine and the fact that humaniatrian reality has zero to do with why they are not hit harder makes the current politics of war asinine and hypocritical.
