truth on hold

we can imagine if the facts were the same except the perpetrator was a Muslim man, it would undoubtedly be described as an act of terror.

And we're off to a good start with his thinking, as the the perpetrator of by far the worst crime of this millennium was one of our presidents, and he did it he explained, because God had instructed him that he must smite the enemy.

Some crimes are so heinous the perpetrator permanently forfeits his/her right to remain in society. And frankly I'm too cheap to want to pay taxes to keep their ass in jail until they die of natural causes.

Black people... Police on Thursday captured the racist madman who fatally shot nine black people at an historic South Carolina church while shouting I have to do it! and You have to go! authorities and a survivor said. Police identified the suspect as 21-year-old Dylann Roof of Lexington, who was still armed when he was arrested after a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina, about 245 miles away. The white supremacist calmly entered the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston during a bible study meeting about 8 p.m. Wednesday and opened fire nearly an hour later, cops said. http://nypost.com/2015/06/18/suspect-captured-in-killing-of-9-at-historic-black-church/

Pope lays the smack down on 'em.... VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis demanded swift action on Thursday to save the planet from environmental ruin, urging world leaders to hear "the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor" and plunging the Catholic Church into political controversy over climate change. In the first papal document dedicated to the environment, he called for "decisive action, here and now," to stop environmental degradation and global warming, squarely backing scientists who say it is mostly man-made. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSKBN0OX1LW20150618?irpc=932

Why is it when they get involved (Syria now Yemen), ISIS make gains? Islamic State car bombs kill or injure 50 in Yemeni capital Car bombs killed or injured at least 50 people near mosques and the headquarters of Yemen's dominant Houthi group in Sanaa on Wednesday, in coordinated attacks claimed by Islamic State. The four blasts rocked the capital as Saudi-led forces conducted more air strikes against Houthi military bases across Yemen and Houthi delegates attending peace talks in Switzerland reported the first tentative progress on the second day of a U.N.-sponsored push for a Ramadan truce. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/17/us-yemen-security-idUSKBN0OX0KQ20150617 what a miserable lot that house of saud

Day 3 and just gets better, with the smoothest, fullest elimination thus far...a near complete emptying.

Fail to see how calling out someone's hypocrysy justifies dismissing science on what could be an existential threat to humans. Its completely unrelated to the rational, responsible response for us from a cost/benefit analysis. Chomsky spells this out starting just after 2:00 min mark

Rand Paul Is Republicans' Best Hope to Beat Hillary The Republican Party is at a crossroads. Its base, bolstered by big-tent conservatism throughout the 1980s and late 2000s, is aware of its own image problem: The Party of No is on the losing side in the battle for marriage equality, has failed to convince Americans that it has a clearer plan for healthcare reform, and remains tacitly pro-war when the population is interested in a U.S. withdrawal from foreign intervention. Worse yet, its base is aging and isn't being replaced by younger voters. Libertarianism, however, is on the rise nationally, with 22 percent of eligible voters identifying with the movement in recent polling. Enter Rand Paul, heir apparent to the movement, who pointedly said during in an interview with the Associated Press, Young people aren't so wedded to party. The kids are probably adrift somewhat. I don't think someone who is an authoritarian, or comes from a much more authoritarian point of view like Hillary Clinton, will attract them. A fresh brand of libertarian-infused conservatism could be the way forward for Republicans looking to woo the youth vote, and Paul sees himself as the person who can provide it. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121526/rand-paul-republicans-best-hope-beat-hillary-clinton SEN. RAND PAUL SWEEPS POLLS, FARES BEST WITH INDEPENDENTS AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)93% swept the competition in recent polls, which also indicates he is the best Republican candidate to go head to head against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/02/sen-rand-paul-sweeps-polls-fares-best-with-independents-against-hillary-clinton/

No, I think the current trajectory points to Hillary trouncing the repubes. Only candidate I can see striking a resonant chord with the general voters and offering a clear distinguishment from her is rand. But I fear his anti-neocon stance won't make it thru the meat grinder of a Republican primary with corporate and foreign interests lined up to support pro-war candidates, backed up by influential "conservative" media like fox news

Youre not alone. Its funny how those wizard years have been forgotten by many sports fans, and all they remember is that steal off malone and jump shot to drop the jazz

Final 2 seasons his team didn't even make the playoffs

Day 2 with the new technique, and happy to report another successful outing. Im convinced this is the better, natural way for elimination. One pointer on the rim-rider technique, for better stability place your hand on the wall mounted tissue dispenser

For reasons previously stated, no I agree it can't be definitively forecast based on one rally that wasn't, hence the threads title phrased as a question. But the turn out for more well known candidates like Lindsay Graham have been disappointing too. But your certain view is that the lackluater turnouts, loss of 2 straight elections, and a platform that hasn't changed should give rise to confidence?

What hysteria? There isn't even a thread about trump in ppp. There one in otw due to his net worth relative to pegulas. Perhaps it's because no one takes him seriously, as he's played this bait and switch game before. His stated motivations for running (if they are in fact to be taken at face value) are all about his role as an outsider smashing the downtrodden insiders of the Republican party. So you're resting your optimism on a guy who history says isnt running, and a perceived media "hysteria" based on trashing the republican party? What does that say about the ones that are more likely to stay in the race, who's trump perceived popularity was based on trashing? Still like their chances?

Leap of faith that the same message that brought them defeat last 2 elections will somehow work this time

Well I don't another piece of furniture in my already cramped space. Another alternative is the Indian style ..... .....but being floor level they always end up with a lot of pee around them from dudes standing up taking leaks. So I'm fine with the risk of rim walking, given the promise of a better defecation experience

Did my first one today with the feet on the bowl technique they showed. One word: smmmoooooothhh Don't need the squatty potty. Feet on bowl gets in a little quad work too

Not the babe on the bowl? You're slipping

Scientists at the Stanford University Pelvic Floor Clinic argued that the human body is designed for squatting, not sitting. Its likely that if you live in the Western world, or at least have adapted Western habits that the way youre using the toilet is doing you harm. Researchers discovered that incorrect elimination can cause appendicitis, hernias, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids or even colon cancer. The study focused on 28 people who pooped in different positions and they found that those that squatted were able to go easier and faster which seems logical as squatting simply straightens the colon. http://interestingthingsdaily.com/youve-been-pooing-the-wrong-way-your-entire-life-yes-you/
