You mean when in this thread I characterized the killers act as a "careless, wreckless, selfish act beyond words"? If you weren't so biased youd have realized my comment related to why they chose a target that seemed inconsistent with an Islamist extremist agenda. And also that the pair was involved inconsistent with a disgruntled employee.

Playoff Machine is up. Have fun
truth on hold replied to BillsFan-4-Ever's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So it sounds like we only gained on Texans and raiders. Giants are a pathetic 4th Q team with a lead letting jets back in it, and colts are pathetic overall getting blown out by steelers. -
Biggest props go to the OLine for containing watt . of all the Texans games I've seen that's when he's been the quietest. As we see there's really no one else they have that can step up. Taylor had a nice game, some balls over the middle, decisive throws, and some power getting to the end zone and avoiding sacks. But that deep ball to Sammy, sorry to say was underthrown....few more yards and that's 6. Anyway I'll take it. Could be a pyhric victory of sorts if we lost Gilmore though. Especially against eagles next week, who can wear a secondary down with all the pass attempts and plays run

The "can Dan" Carpenter thread
truth on hold replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Needs to stop aiming for the left upright. He's proven hes got that kick nailed. -
supports my earlier contention that the target(s) was someone he worked with that said something he took offense to about Islam..... Two weeks before he slaughtered more than a dozen people at a California holiday party, Syed Farook told a Jewish colleague that he thinks “Israel doesn’t belong in the Middle East.” It wasn’t an unusual debate for Thalasinos, a Messianic Jew who relished engaging Muslims in pointed religious conversations. “It didn’t set off any alarm bells,” his friend Kuuleme Stephens, 41, told the Daily News Friday. “He didn’t say anything about feeling like he was being threatened by this Syed person or anything like that.” But roughly 14 days later, Thalasinos was among 14 people killed in the San Bernardino rampage carried out by Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik, 27. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/shooter-talked-israel-jewish-colleague-victim-friend-article-1.2455576

Couldn't hear Obama tonight...hilarious.
truth on hold replied to OCinBuffalo's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
he's FoS just targeting ISIS. said nothing about the critical contributions we and our "allies" made by destabilizing the region. wanted no part of the discussion how we depose secularist heads of state who are no threat to us, allowing groups that are real threats to us to flourish. and there are a lot more terrorist groups that threaten us like al qaeda and al nusra. -
Possibly best running QB in the game

Coaches Fired This Seasom

Add Tom coughlin to the list. It's been building all season, and giants owner put him on notice this week. No one in their right mind who can put jets down by 13 with 9 to go with a chip shot FG goes for it on 4th and 2 -
Ashley Madison leak -- the fallout begins
truth on hold replied to truth on hold's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Man that's rough... A prominent New Jersey educator lost his job, his wife, his mind and possibly his freedom thanks to the Ashley Madison hack, The Post has learned. David Browne, district school superintendent of Randolph NJ, sustained severe burns while trying to torch his garage after confessing to his wife and school board he had an account with the infamous infidelity Web site. http://nypost.com/2015/12/06/ashley-madison-hack-steals-mans-job-wife-and-mind/ -
not running for office like Cruz, but nonetheless this is a truly disturbing trend. a 2nd repube making sense on ME policy ... Rep. Dana Rohrabacher: 'Russia Should Be Applauded Rohrabacher Statement on Turkey’s Clash with Russia WASHINGTON – Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, and Emerging Threats, on Saturday issued the following statement concerning Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian jet fighter on the Turkey-Syria border: It is imperative that American decision-makers admit to themselves and begin basing their decisions on the hard fact that Islamic terrorism poses the primary threat to our safety and the peace of the world. Our president seems incapable of uttering the phrase Islamic terrorism, much less of overseeing a policy that will defeat this evil. His incoherence is ever more evident as events in Syria unfold. Not radical Islam, but the Russians have been portrayed to us as the villains in this chapter of history. Yet our government demonstrates a lack of will, incompetence, or both, in confronting the most monstrous of the radical Islamic marauders now spilling vast quantities of innocent blood in the Middle East -- as well as in Africa and France. When Russia courageously stepped into the breach we should have been applauding its willingness to confront ISIS. Instead, we continue to denigrate Russians as if they were still the Soviet Union and Putin, not Islamic terrorists, our most vicious enemy. So now we see the travesty of a harsh condemnation of the Russians for introducing air strikes against terrorists who will murder Americans if they get the chance. Yes, Russia does this to protect Syria’s authoritarian Assad regime, which has close ties to Moscow. So what? Assad, like Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, is no threat to the United States or the Western world. If Assad is forced out of power he will eventually be replaced by an Islamic terrorist committed to raining down mayhem on Western countries. Today we witness the spectacle of American decision- makers, in and out of the Obama administration, joining forces with a Turkish regime that grows more supportive of the radical Islamist movement. There is ample evidence of President Erdogan’s complicity in ISIS’s murderous rampage through Syria and Iraq. Yet, we hold our public rebukes for the Russians, who are battling those terrorists. A Russian plane on an anti-terrorist mission did violate Turkish airspace, just as Turkish planes have strayed into Greek airspace hundreds of times over the last year. This overflight was no threat to Turkey. Still, it was shot down, as was a Russian helicopter on the way to rescue the downed Russian pilot. Why do Americans feel compelled to kick Russia in the teeth? Russia’s military is attacking an enemy that would do us harm. Why ignore the hostile pro-terrorist maneuvering of Turkish strongman Erdogan? President Obama is wrong. American politicians who try to sound tough at Russia’s expense in this case are not watching out for the long-term interests of the United States by undermining those fighting our primary enemy, Islamic terrorists. Russia should be applauded. Instead, it is being castigated for doing what our government is unwilling to do to confront the terrorist offensive now butchering innocent human beings from Africa, to the Middle East, to the streets of Paris. If being in NATO means protecting Erdogan in this situation, either he shouldn’t be in NATO or we shouldn’t. https://www.facebook...156300446930422

Putin may well be a genius.

gotta love them turks and their strict respect for borders Iraq summons Turkey's ambassador over troop deployment near Mosul Iraq's Foreign Ministry summoned the Turkish ambassador on Saturday to demand that Turkey immediately withdraw hundreds of troops deployed in recent days to northern Iraq, near the Islamic State-controlled city of Mosul. The ministry said in a statement the Turkish forces had entered Iraqi territory without the knowledge of the central government in Baghdad, and that Iraq considered such presence "a hostile act".

A survey conducted in the US has revealed that 37 percent of Americans support sanctions against Israel as a response to settlement-building. Of those, 27 percent support economic sanctions and 10 percent are in favor of even harsher measures. Among Democratic voters the proportion is even higher, with half supporting sanctions. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4734987,00.html

Blood is on the NRA's hands
truth on hold replied to LA Grant's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It's funny isn't it (sad really), that gun lovers contort earnest attempts to save lives with responsible gun control, as being "political". So they can deflect to the weak minded that its a " liberal agenda to take away your rights." Case in point from the Fred flintsone of a governor of New Jersey: Chris Christie: New York Times gun control op-ed "liberal claptrap" http://www.cbsnews.com/news/election-2016-chris-christie-new-york-times-gun-control-op-ed-liberal-claptrap/ As demonstrated in that same article, they put forth their "mental health" "solution". Not only is that an extremely liberal position requiring a massive investment, expansion of bureaucracy , and de facto giving the government wide lattitude over who can be armed to teeth and who can't, its highly impractical with no reason to believe it would be effective. Let's go thru the unfortunate list of recent mass shootings; would they have been able to preclude the following from owning guns due to mental illness as "evidenced" by: - being Muslim? - a white man with traffic violations who doesn't like Obama? - a 20-something kid who's having trouble finding a girlfriend? - an ex-employee? The only acceptable implementation of casting the net that wide given the costly nature (not to mention arbitrary and discriminatory) would mean simply reverting to restricting gun ownership across the board. Exactly what the gun control advocates are saying. -

A lot of successful college HCs flame out pretty quickly at the pro level. Although pettine clearly has to go and Meyer is a worthy candidate as replacement, I feel the deal theyd have to offer him to leave OSU would be overpaying and giving too much authority given the risk. They'd be better off with a promising assistant -

perhaps the most recognizable hook in rap history -
It's not religion thats problem...people can be corrupted by or corrupt many things...religion is just a subset of those things. For example enthnicity, political domain, material gain (probably the biggest reason), supporting "allies", etc.. are common motivations not related to religion. You really think if religion didn't exist, fanaticism and terror would go away?

at best we are indifferent. we don't care how many civilians are killed in our agendas to depose heads of state we dont like. there is no rational case to be made we saved more iraqi and syrian lives with our direct interventions, and our support for "ally" interventions. Note if these "interventions" were carried out by countries or groups we didn't like, they'd be "acts of war" or "terrorist activities". For the record, "we" refers to the policy makers in Washington. Polls continually confirm they don't represent majority American views
