Federal Judge rules male only draft unconstitutional

And therein lies the problem, or at least it has been an issue in the past. Their "requirements" were a little different, at least that was my experience. See "Hultgreen," callsign Revlon. -
When Does Taxation Become Oppression?
sherpa replied to The_Dude's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
As an answer to the original question, I think a total of 40% state and federal is where we drew the line. While living in California, our combined tax rate was in that area, and we needed to determine if my wife's career was worth it. Combined with child care, our expenses on her additional income would be 50%. So....She quit, became a stay at home mom and we never looked back. -
Switzerland Is A Nation Of Cowards
sherpa replied to The_Dude's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Switzerland's neutrality posture has always been for one reason only, which is to remain the world's banker. Stay out of conflicts and provide a safe haven for the money of those involved. Quite profitable. -
Amazon To Pay No Federal Taxes in 2019
sherpa replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Are you for real? Do you think someone wouldn't have checked? You quoted and were commenting on a post by KD in CA that clearly stated "public companies are required to report and where to find it." You were "commenting" on that. -
Amazon To Pay No Federal Taxes in 2019
sherpa replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Do you realize the ridiculousness of this post? It has been made apparent to you: -> in this thread: ->more than once: ->in case you didn't already know, that the financial disclosures of publicly traded companies are a matter of public record. Easily obtainable. You then suggest that someone has suggested that you should get your information from a group you don't like? Do you need to be hit over the head with a bat? Tax law is codified and easily obtainable. Financial statements of publicly traded companies are easily obtained. The "mystery" is in the ignorance of those who refuse to obtain the information. -
Amazon To Pay No Federal Taxes in 2019
sherpa replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Amazon is a publicly traded company. Its financial statements are a matter of public record, and are available. By the way, Amazon has never been an income company, at least to date. It has always been about accumulating market share over profit, so tax payments are what they are. -
We take them in Europe. Used them from Munich-Vienna -Prague, three days at each place, then train to the next. Work great in Spain also. Italy, functional, but not as nice.

I've been thinking about this comment all day, and I think I've figured out what the issue is. Did you watch the entire game? Virginia did something unusual last night. They started Kihea Clark, who is 5'9", as part of a three guard lineup. They quickly went to their usual two guard set, Ty Jerome and Kyle Guy, whose "dimensions" are what I have posted. Jerome, at 6'5", is their point guard. Interesting you bring up White though. I thought he singularly screwed up the last three UNC possessions.
-
They're not "my dimensions," and losing in their opener last year had little impact on their size. Further, the season and the ACC tournament "matter."
-
Ty Jerome is the Virginia point guard, and he's 6'5. If you're talking about Kyle Guy, he's 6'2. Together, they are clearly one of the best back courts in the country.

Occasi-Cortez Channeling the Rent's too damn high guy
sherpa replied to bdutton's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I can report that her proposal is getting a resounding response from airline labor groups, at least the one I'm very familiar with. Soon enough she'll jump on a shuttle from DC to NY, they're packed with Congress people on Fridays and Mondays, and somebody will take the time to ask her, in a "friendly, inquisitive manner," to explain this, and report her response. -

Could have been Max's, but I remember it as Mac's. Heard about it on Russ Riera's show. He used to have a KGO restaurant review show every weekend in San Francisco, and we always checked out his recommendations. Didn't Madden live there? In Blackhawk I believe. -

Danville is a nice place. Used to be a restaurant called "Macs" there that had an all you can eat ribs deal on Wed. We went there once/month. Sold my house in Benicia in 89 and never looked back. -
The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:
sherpa replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This isn't that rare, at least recently. Military needs to operate in a non GPS environment for specific reasons, and they do this at Red Flag, the exercises run in the Nellis operating area frequently. -
Not related to anybody in particular, but this is what happens when boat folks get out of their realm. You and your Johnson

Used to be the only way to access Google products while in China. They prohibited gmail and google search, along with other things. Now, it's even tougher.

That is frightening. Also on this date: "Challenger You are go at throttle up."

Sermon....any serious speech, discourse, or exhortation, especially on a moral issue. a long, tedious speech. Save your's for someone who might listen, and this isn't an "argument." This is you making a fool of yourself. You have absolutely no idea what happened. You suggest anti Semitism, some crazy ass nonsense about air marshals. Unrelated and idiotic air traffic control priorities, lying, tricking, all of which would get someone fired, law suites and I can't remember what else. In the meantime, you are grossly ignorant of how these things are best handled without embarrassing people more than necessary, and paying their bill because others could not stand to be next to them. At the end, you tell someone who might know something about this thing, because...you know....it happens all the time, to "speak when you're spoken to." You are quite the man.

"Faith" in my profession? That doesn't make any sense, but not much you have posted does. As for the rest of your post, I am not one to use profanity or react strongly to people who do really stupid things on the internet, but you can surmise my response about what a good suggestion might be.

An airline is never going to remove a family because some other passengers don't like Jews. A flight attendant would listen to the complaint, smell, determine it to be valid, smell, and behave in a manner they are trained. If there was no smell, the flight attendant would so state, and offer the complainant to accept their Jewishness and get off if they didn't like it.
-
Or maybe you just don't have any freakin' idea what really happened. Typically, what happens is something like this. A few people notice something "odd" the gate area. During boarding, a number of passengers complain to a flight attendant about an issue like this, and state that they will not sit next to the issue. The flight attendant has a problem. People have to be seated to taxi. The flight attendant checks out the situation, determines it to be valid, and gets the lead flight attendant involved, who also determines it to be valid. They tell the captain and the passenger gets removed, discretely. They don't stand around and holler at the stinky people that they are being removed because it is not possible to operate the flight and have everyone in their seats because people refuse to sit near them. The airline buys them a hotel room and two meals and gets them where they are going. That is how it works. You don't have some grand display in the cabin that embarrasses them. Late edit, 'cause I just read another goofy claim of yours. Airlines are not anti Semitic. Miami has plenty of Jewish people that fly all the time, and the suggestion is idiotic. Crazy nonsense. And if your claim is that the passengers were anti Semitic, its just as much lunacy. Further, it wasn't United that that event happened. It was one of their commuter operators.

And be careful who you are calling a liar or a trickster. This thread is the "Sum of all Fantasies." Yours. They don't need to "trick" people off an airplane. There is a protocol that is followed, and people are, (almost always happily), bought off. If that protocol isn't followed, the gate agent can get fired for the nonsense you propose, and other employees would have clearly noticed it. Absolutely if the nonsense you suggest that a crewmember showed up. And a minor point. Airlines don't "drag" people off airplanes. Law enforcement people have done so.
-
You are quite the keyboard fantasizer. I can guarantee you that your "trick" fantasy is foolish, as is any claim it was a "No Jew Jet." Do you imagine there might be a pilot's union website for that company that discusses events like these with people who were there? Hmmmmm.
