98-year-old charged with 'unlawful execution, torture' of Jews during World War II
Tue Jun 18, 2013
- It's very hard to have sympathy for the Russians that died in WW2, since they a) killed their own and b) allied with Nazi Germany for the Fourth Partition of Poland. Stalin had trusted Hitler. He was genuinely surprised after Operation Barbarossa began and he was badly shaken by it.
'Day of honor': Afghans take over national security from US-led forces
Tue Jun 18, 2013
- Once the U.S. withdraws, what weapons, if any, will we leave them? Any tanks? Helicopters? Artillery? If they have better weapons than the taliban they may stand a chance. But that's not going to be the only factor for success. They'll need a strong government to back them. I'm not confident that wi …
U.S. will buy Russian helicopters for Afghan military
Mon Jun 17, 2013
- For about the same money, they could have bought the same number of Sikorsky Black Hawks. ...but since we're enjoying a glorious, booming economy and since Connecticut is a deeply Republican state, I understand the logic here. [/sarcasm] @Barry-NJ: Okay, sure they're familiar with Russian equipment. …
Boys learn combat skills at Hamas-run summer camp
Wed Jun 12, 2013
- @Sicktired Lan Basil moron, Isreal is the reason why these children had to go through hell where they should be playing games like most children do... All these kids see is brutal oppression, massacres by creatures invaded their country... I am sure isreali "brave" men with F-16s, apachis and Abrams …
After Scouts lift gay youth ban, Baptist group calls for firings
Wed Jun 12, 2013
- @ItsAboutTime-3704531: Lie much? Christians support freedom of religion, provided that religion is Christianity only. The BSA receives support via my local, state, and federal taxes. As a result, they have no choice but to NOT discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation. If they …
North Korea calls off talks with South over choice of diplomat
Tue Jun 11, 2013
- @Ernie: Pecans are Imperialistic and Counter-Revolutionary! Dear Leader Kim Jong Il spent 20 continuous years ripping out all of the pecan trees from the glorious North Korean soil with his bare hands in order to save the beloved patriotic people of North Korea from decadent, western contamination! …
American, 21, dies in fall from Rome wall
Tue Jun 11, 2013
- Somehow "Veni , Vidi, Cecidi Mortuis" doesn't sound as good as "Veni Vedi Vici" to me! (I came, I saw, I fell, I dead vs. I came, I saw, I conquered.)
Six months after shootings, Sandy Hook families again push for new gun laws
Mon Jun 10, 2013
- Passing "gun control" to cut down on murder is like passing 'gay control" to cut down on sodomy. There, now that you're angry: passing laws doesn't stop crime. Passing laws MAKE something a crime. Making law abiding citizens into criminals? That's just stupid. PS: Please take pains to note that all …
12 obsolete technologies Americans still use
Sat Jun 8, 2013
- In reply to: zapper45701 #10 : I'm with you on the VCR. For all the benefits of DVR, it's only temporary. The hard drive fills up. The unit will eventually die. But with tape? I can *still* play tapes I made in 1985! If I want to record something permanently, VHS is really the only cheap and easy …
Starbucks to smokers: Don't even take it outside!
Fri May 31, 2013
- Exactly what are you smoking? Starbucks is acting within their rights to protect the comfort and health of their patrons. Have they banned screaming babies too? That always raises my blood pressure. Oh, and self-absorbed idiots on their phones in line. Most of those who can afford Starbu …
