No, but the issue at hand did.

flip

Lol, why do you always have to be obtuse? I'd think reasonable people could agree the beginning as it pertains to modern civilization and try not to carry it back to the stone age!

flip

I see it a little differently. It all goes back to who throws the first punch. Whoever starts the fight is the one to blame. This is all reminiscent of the guy everybody on the block wants to beat up. After he lowers the boom on them and beats the piss out of all of them, somehow he's the bad guy. L...

flip

I think so too Snoopy. I'd love to see that again!

Or, depending on context, can also mean to determine the pronunciation of another word that is also in great dispute. What should have been which anywho. "In modern vernacular usage, "to beg the question" is sometimes used to mean "to raise the question" (as in "This be...

flip

The stupidest thing about that too, is right from the onset you could imagine this happening. I don't think near-sighted people have the right to exist. The world we be a better place without them

flip

A simple yes would have been sufficient.

flip

But what your dismissing is that that annexation at the end of WW2 was just in that it restored claim to the original possessors. Not lightly I might add, considering 6 million had just been wiped out. The choice seemed easy to me. Give them their home back. EDIT: Cause it should be more than obviou...

flip

I can't even figure out what point you are trying to make Slick. So, you don't think Israel has a right to exist either? You think Israel does not have the right to exist on land that it initially developed? You need to do some of your own personal research. I happen to know for fact that that Pales...

flip

That doesn't even apply Slick. Those people have long been displaced. Israel is not.

flip

Yeah, I guess I should have been more specific but Will has already stated the obvious. The descendants of Isaac.

flip

Yeah, but your talking about when the world went from nomadic to civilization. Somebody had to be the one and they were it. Not only that, there is none other people like Israel on the whole Earth. They are an ancient people who even being dispersed into all the surrounding nations, still retained t...

I look at it very differently than most I think. They can trace their heritage and inheritance of that land all the way back to Abraham. Provenance that cannot be beat. The only reason they lost that land over and over and eventually exiled was because of foreign invaders constantly contending for i...

God bless Flabby. Every time I see this screwed up perception that the American media started going around about 10-15 years ago I try and combat it. I have kept an eye on this situation for years and I know all the things Israel has done to try and integrate and make prosperous Palestine. The burde...

I honestly wouldn't mind the whole set. I can break my grandson in gently >: )

flip

Hah, I just thought about something else that makes a lot of sense. You know how people are in general and American's in particular. If the government does have plans to sur-veil the American Public, how many people do you think would go and buy RC planes and helicopters to chase them down, video th...

flip

That's funny Sigma! TC, first off, you can't shoot down what you can't see and I doubt any one of us would be aware of it was there anyways. Maybe at best you might catch a glimmer of some movement if you were looking for it, but who's gonna spend all their time looking for invisible drones! It's li...

flip

"thereby reducing his or her ability to seeandavoid other aircraft in the area."

Lol, just imagine what happens when people start knocking "invisible drones" out of the sky. There's got to be a way to mitigate that risk.

flip

The way I read it is that you can no longer fly rc planes over the horizon out of sight or have cameras on them for recreational use. Effectively gives a defined airspace which is line-of-sight only and illegal to use fpv.

flip

Just think about this. I was watching a program the other day of these drones have been rendered almost completely silent, so they can fly within 200 feet or so without anyone being able to hear them. Now, what if the were to start using this too:

flip

If this passes, I get the feeling we are going to have a sky full of drones soon and they are reserving those frequencies for themselves and eliminating interference at the same time. You would think they would want even lower frequencies to facilitate greater range though.

flip

LOL! Too Funny Isaac

flip

That's what I thought too. I watched a video where they introduced Linus Torvalds and they pronounced his first name with a short i. My brother-in-law who actually introduced me to Linux and is a pretty gifted programmer himself fights me to this day and pronounces it with a long i. EDIT: Come to th...

What begs the next question. L-ee-nux or L-ii-nux.

flip

Well, it's undetermined until there's a repeatable test. I know the runoff here between the 2 Republican for Senate was only a few one way or the other. Or just look at what happened in Florida with the "hanging chads" It's only a handful of votes that determine one way or the other in a c...

flip

Exactly. There is no way to determine it otherwise. Maybe even unnecessary in the past but considering the amount of illegals entering in the last 20 years, I surely would not want them to determine the outcome of elections. Especially local elections which usually only consist of a handful of actua...

flip

I'm pretty sure you have that backwards Slick. Palestine as we know it was created at the same time as Israel. Palestine is made up of group of people nobody wanted at the time and out of spite were sat right there. EDIT: Which is exactly why I say they would have assimilated into Jewish culture, an...

flip

Truth is, Palestine would have already integrated nicely culturally and economically if not for constant agitation. Don't get me wrong. I am not one of those Christians who blindly support's Israel's right to do anything they want on religious grounds, but the Palestinians would have long ago benefi...

flip

Depends on where they move Slick. Millions of them come in, they are bound to start building their own communities within these districts and by proxy change the demographics. I could also agree with that Snoopy as a solution. The more and more time we delay a solution, the longer the borders stay i...

And that would depend on the terms under which Amnesty is granted.

flip

Isn't this what is happening if we allow an insurgence of illegal immigrants and then give them amnesty? Would they not be predisposed to voting for the party that showed sympathy towards their plight? A kind of "mass redistricting?" EDIT: I ask this because at this point I see Amnesty as ...

Merlin has a point. I think you would be surprised just how different your world-view from 36 to 43 is, even more so if your still in your 20's. I myself considered them when I was younger but could never think of anything so profound that I'd wear it for the rest of my life. Of course, being a Chri...

Leadership is pure and simple. It says "come here" not "go there"

I would say follow the money

but of course that's not the world we live in.

So many pots, so few spoons

And before any of you chickenheads run off hollering "conspircy,conspircy", pull your head out your butt and try to connect the dots for yourself for once.

The first Gulf War was a benefit to the Saudi's, their investors and their 'consultants.'

When Bush Sr. took office we were the strongest country on this planet, His foreign policy started this mess. When Clinton left office, we had a balanced budget and a lowering deficit. When Bush Jr. left office, we got this.

I think people are tired of career politicians period. I hope anybody that's been there longer than 6-8 years gets their walking papers this cycle.

Well, a great deal of confusion comes in with people not being able to differentiate what Paul was saying and, not being Jewish and 2000 years removed, they don't fully understand. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the like...

flip

Maybe Paul's purpose was to use his gospel to change people's hearts, not start a Civil War ;) EDIT: The Law said not to worship Idols, but they did anyways. The Law said not to return slaves, hell they made slaves of their own people. Paul did nothing wrong and actually made the most responsible de...

Maybe it's because in this country they think every problem can be treated with a pill. I've read that most mass shootings have been committed by people either taking or just recently stopped taking psychiatric drugs. A lot of times these people don't even remember drowning their children in the bat...
