"So far away from God.. said Porfirio Diaz" Mexico City by cochinjew
Mexico City Travel Guide: 2,188 reviews and 4,553 photos
During my very pleasant stay in this city just leading to the New Years Eve 2007, which was spent in Merida, I was constantly reminded of the structural violence against the poor and the marginalized and especially the Indians
January 1, 1994 two things happened and one has something to do with the other, I am certain
NAFTA was signed. as a result you can see more McDos, Walmart, etc in Mexico
Mexicos first uprising in decades, by the indigenous peoples whose leaders asked on 18 january 1994: who must ask for pardon and who can grant it?
why do we have to be pardoned? what are we going to be pardoned for? Of not dying of hunger? Of not being silent in our misery? or not humbly accepting our historic role of beign ethe despised and the outcast?... Of having demonstrated to the rest of the country and the entire world that human dignity still lives, even among some of the world's poorest peoples?
In chiapas, 14 500 people die a year, the highest death rate in the country. What causes most of these deaths? Curable diseases: respiratory infections, gasteroenteritis, parasites, malaria, scabies, breakbone fever, tuberculosis, conjuctivitis, typhus, cholera and measles. This declaration of the Zapatists further noted that all fo this misery was expanding right under the noses of tourists and others who visited the region: "while there are seven hotel rooms for every 1000 tourists, there are 0.3 hospital beds for every 1,000 chiapans"
Mexico is one of the more interesting c.ountries in the world to visit. In this period of ecological consciousness and political consciousness understanding the structural violence would enhance your enjoyment of this country of multiple indian cultures, people drawn from all over the world.
Mexico City and violence is mentioned in the same breath. Were the mexicans always so violent? No way. Ex President Lopez Portillo (this has something to do with Cancun?) building a palace in Spain, Carlos Gortari taking his billions to Ireland, Vicente Fox of Coca Cola frame having refurbished his mansions with gold and silver. Tell me who is violent? the taxi driver who robbed you ? or every single official from mayors of small towns to the President who rob the people of Mexico?
Having said that, the personal violence in Mexico City is grossly exaggerated in the foreign press. True there are about 20 assaults per day in the taxis in Mexico City where over 1.5 million people take taxis per day. But tourists are more vulnerable than Mexicans who intuitively take preventive steps. Tourists can do the same. If you are a cheapskate tourist, trying to cheat the locals or live like the locals, you can expect the same sort of violence against them.
I felt very comfortable during my three day stay there. I took authorized taxis, which can work out to be 100 per cent more expensive, but the sense of security is well worth it. Coyuacan is safe, but the trip there needs a little planning. Polanco is boring but safe, the bohemian suburb of Condessa is safe. The only annoyance I had was that the safety issue did not permit to indulge in the gastronomic experiences i would have liked.
Union of Europe and Indigenous
Wilhelm Kahlo, a jewish photographer from Austro-hungarian empire was her father.
Like the majority of the Mexicans, she inherited the looks of her indian ancestors.
Mexico is unique among all the American countries in that it is the country, its towns and villages where you can feel the pulse of the culture, whether it is the architecture (new or old), dress, food, music or street life
Mexico is defiant: The French army found out when they were routed by peasants and villagers with no army training but wanted to protect Mexico from foreign intervention
The North Americans (Yanquis) tried twice and were defeated.
Cardenas and the nationalization of Petroleum Industry
UK found out the hard way that Mexicans were intent and did nationalize their railways.
Mexico is suffering
Like the myriads of pictures of Frida, in the suffering mode, Mexico has always suffered. Individually, collectively and as a society. for no fault of their own except that they are mexicans. this continues to this day across the border to the north. One Tohono Oodham told me, early in the 20th century USA bought this piece of land from Mexico, but never consulted us who are the rightful owners of this land, it did not belong to Mexico for them to sell it, and it was not up to USA to buy it..I imagine a day of no borders between these two countries and NAFTA instead of being an economic colonialism disguised as a treaty would be a true friendship and developmental partnership, much like the EU. At least this allowed the son of lebanese migrants, Carlos Slim Helu to become the richest man on earth.. That is Mexico for you..
Mexico is ingenious and adventurous. Can you imainge Frida, in her indian attire and defiant attitude and adoration of the Communist Party, travelled int eh 1930s to USA and France. Most of the mexicans I have met, from the humble labourer to the richest of the rich in the exclusive suburbs of Mexico city, they would prefer to live in Mexico if the ambience, economic and poitical permitted them. The majority of Mexicans are of Indian origin so most of the migrants are also, almost all of them are of Indian origin. I tell the North American Indians who consider the Mexicans their brothers (dont talk about illegal immigration with the native Indians, they woudl ask who are the illegal Immigrants here?).. I tell them.. these Mexican brothers of ours are all Indians,they just forgot ..
While JFK govt and the succeding ones twisted the hands of the majority of the governments in this hemisphere to break off diplomatic relationship with Cuba, Mexico was defiant and maintained its sisterly relationship with the island from where the conquistador Hernan Cortes had sailed in 1515. You would note the influence of cuba in the music of veracruz and also the trova of Yucatan.
Isla Holbox an isolated island now becoming popular, the olde fisherman remembers fidel Raul and Che stopping there on their way to re conquer the island from despots.
Cuba and Mexico have always maintained cordial relationships and have great intellectual respect for each other. Granted Octavio Paz, the greatest latin american intellectual was not a fan of Fidel, nor I dont thin k is Carlos Fuentes yet another candidate for the Nobel Prize.
Gabo lives in Cuernavaca as well as La Habana.
Cuernavaca is also the home of Alvaro Mutis, and his alter ego Maqroll El Gaviero.
List of Mexican writers is very impressive, as are academics in various disciplines including Anthropology. In fact Mexico apart from Argentina and a little in Brasil is the home of many anthropologists studying society from the metaphor of suffering and healing.
- Pros:One of the more interesting countries of this world
- Cons:Suffering, neglect of the Indians, subsequent violence
- In a nutshell:Go, plan your travel well, and dont be stingy

Re: XPRO1with Canon 70-200 L f4
unfortunately no
But there is a trick
You take your canon camera with the lens. You select the right diaphragm, and then you press the dept of field button. While holding the button, you dismount the lens. The diaphragm will stay closed according to your setting.
Then you mount it on your Fuji.
It's all about photography

Original Message
Hey folks,
welcome back :)
This thread was massively spammed some days ago on purpose,
so i suppose we hit a nerve here and i take this as a compliment ;)
Maybe it was just a fun attack to bother me, but i don´t think so;i can and do read between the lines.
As i prefer to live my life without fear, by choice and not by chance, here we go (again)...
After this serious paid-shill attack, i had to close this thread down,sort things out and clean up a bit.
You all know what is said about Germans:
we don´t have any humor, but we are very disciplined workers..
To meet all the rumours, accusations and stuff posted around GLP concerning me and what i do in and with this thread since yesterday:
Yes, i do "housekeeping" here, to make this thread readable and get facts bundled, so no one has to scam through 25 pages to look up some link;
yes, this means i delete shills, trolls, double-posts and other crap.
I also do cut off some parts when quoting, as it is in most cases just wasted dead space and makes it hard to read.
And yes, i do delete posts concerning the "elevator-video" and the "psychic", as well as those containing blablabla and those talking about the "illuminati-Style symbols in the Cecil Hotel".
This has a purpose, and i am happy to explain the "why" further down here on this post.
I am no egomaniac deleting comments to "shine" by the contributions of other posters, to mask their origin and make them "mine".
I delete my own posts, too, by the way, if they are of no use to the thread itself.
Everyone who is likeminded and wants to contribute is really welcome, and i do say "thank you" to all those who filled this thread with valuable information, to help make it what it is.
If you don´t like that, please do not post here.
Quite simple, isn´t it? ;)
Enter at your own risk - you should know, throughout GLP i am now known as "girl with issues" and, of course, as "fuehrer", "thread hitler" and all that stuff ;)
@ all new to this thread:
please please please
before posting, please read here below & the current sum-up of findings on page 23. thank you!
why i made this thread:
I made this thread to investigate and get your opinions of the new findings, an odd facebook profile and maybe her twitter/tumblr accounts, as this doesn´t get enough attention in those other threads.
why and which posts will be deleted in here:
- elevator-video
- psychic
- talk about illuminati-Style symbols in the Cecil Hotel&related.
The reason of doing so is simple:
In my opinion, these are just distraction from real important and questionable
things, connections and symbols in this specific case,or brief: the "why&who".
Talking about these things has no "value", as there is no useful information to get off them
besides what they just are:
- video of the poor girl in the elevator, without time/date,sound,blurry and obviously altered.
- the psychic - it´s a psychics job to talk about mindboggling, scary creepy stuff. that´s what pays their rent. and whoohoo what spooky "coincident" she did a reading there 2 weeks before.
- symbols/the floortiles of the Cecil Hotel - it is just another ArtDeco-Hotel from the 20s and there are many others out there who have same and even more of what seems to be "symbolic" on floors, walls and everywhere. No need to talk about this all the time, it is just a given fact: it looks like that, as it was the fashion back in those times.
With talking about those, we spin in circles around them - but don´t get anything new out of it.
As i stated above, this i _my opinion_;
yours may be different and i honour it anyway.
But i don´t want to talk about these things in this thread, as explained above.
The Case itself:
I do think this case is staged: to many "coincidences" at once.
What i do not know, is the "who" did this and "why" it is done - and moreover, done _this_ way.
this includes:
- the Cecil Hotel, a known haunted hotel with all kinds of strange things going on there
- the psychic who coincidently made a dramatic job in the Cecil Hotel 2 weeks before
- the released elevator video
- the BlackDahlia case & the Dark Water movie resemblance
these are chosen to give the case a "supernatural" touch, it f+cks with people´s minds:
you´re attracted to them in a strange way and repelled the same time;
they give you shivers down your spine and no one really wants to have something to do with that stuff, out of a (ir)rational fear, as one can´t control "these things" or "proof their existence".
they are pretty much "believe or believe not" stuff like religions are.
No one really likes to question these things, let alone "get in touch" with them personally, that´s why people are easier willing to believe those things just "exist" and "happen".
And i do think that is the exact purpose for these things to _be_ weird case.
The coincidences between the victim´s name, the tuberculosis test with same
but mirrored name and the current outbreak of tuberculosis same time and just around the corner of the Cecil Hotel
what do i do with that.. all speculations, of course.
it all screams "staged" loudly, and i assume just one of it is: the victim´s name.
There is a tuberculosis outbreak (and was before in that area), and there is a test for tb with that name.
For now, i assume
"the victim is just a scapegoat here to distract/mask a clinical trial of some new strain of tb or a biowarfare test gone wrong"
- something like that.
maybe the ties to a military experiment or operation here are stronger than i am willing to admit to be supposing by now, there´s enough incidents pointing in that direction.
But, just my opinion and my "weird conspiracy theory" on that - for now.
------------------end of edit -----------------------
this is what i made this thread about.
a facebook page from elisa lam, out of the blue, created on feb 21th, when she was already dead.
this fb page has only 1 friend, richard schmelter, in whose profil picture you can see a korean girl in the background (according to his comments on the picture from jan 2th.)
according to what is supposed to be her tumbl account, her last entry there is from 3 weeks ago, last entry " arrived in la land"
i have to suppose this richard schmelter made this elisa lam facebook page. (as he is the only friend of this account. it does not seem to be one of the usual "tribute" accounts to a dead person).
but why?
and why on a date where she was already dead?
please, fellow GLPers, whoever is somewhat intersted in the Elisa Lam case, take a look at this.
because no one is taking notice of it in 2 threads and it seems like it is ignored on purpose - and i think it is maybe something important:
(and if not, a really sick joke)
link to www.facebook.com
this is her REAL facebook..
Anonymous Coward 34984454
impossible. this page is up since thursday.
who is this robert schmelter who is her only friend on there?
just a thought, not to blame someone:
this robert schmelter made this fb page with her pic.
look at his pics and his eyes. there´s something in them what creeps me out, so much coldness.
maybe he is the reason she ended up in the water tank.
if not, it is a really sick joke by him making this page.
Please, anyone else have an opinion on this?
where does this FB page come out of the blue on thursday?
this is sick.

I think blogging is like a poster I saw the poster read "Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few." I think the poster has a point because how many people bother to look at blogs. It is like reading something to someone who is drawing nobody listens. I think we should blog about things of our own choice I mean nobody bothers to truly read it so at least let blogging be fun. That is my opinion. PS If you liked the quote go to this website. [LINK]

J.H. Rose lost in the second round of the state playoffs Friday night to Hillside. The 42-30 loss to the hornets marks the first time Rose has been eliminated from the playoffs since 2002. It was a streak that started during the 2003 football season.
J.H. Rose would go on to Capture their first state title since the 70s. The Rampants would add to their trophy case picking up state titles after the 04,05 and 06 seasons.
Boasting talented players like NC State's Andre Brown and ECU's Jonathan Williams, Rose would build up a 39-game winning streak. That streak ended earlier this season to Rocky Mount

Roll All the Critical Hits with this 120-Sided Die!
Over one hundred and fifty years ago, a French-Belgian mathematician named Eugène Catalan worked out the design for the disdyakis triacontahedron – a 120-sided die. Theoretically it was the most mathematically fair die that could exist. Now, we are pleased to report that we live in a world in which the disdyakis triacontahedron can thunder across gaming boards, thrilling all who watch with its many sides. The New Yorker profiled the creators of the D120, Robert Fathauer, Henry Segerman, and Robert Bosch, and you can read more about them, and check out the die in action, below!
5 Reasons to Watch Penny Dreadful
Showtime's Brit-horror series Penny Dreadful returns on May 1st to the joy of faithful viewers not-nearly-everywhere. For such a smart and well-acted show, the horror soap opera featuring fictional heavy-hitters Victor Frankenstein, his monster, Dorian Gray, and the Wolfman doesn't get quite the expected amount of buzz it deserves. It probably doesn't help that the show airs the same night as HBO's powerhouse Game of Thrones. Watch Thrones live if you hate getting spoiled on Twitter, but save some room on your DVR for a show that's bloodier, spookier, and steeped in much more literal—and literary—sexual politics.
Here's a taste of what you're missing. (With a few unavoidable spoilers ahead.)
Daredevil and Spider-Man: The College Years
Skrillysama shared this fabulous picture on imgur! While we admit we have no idea what the context is here, we're choosing to believe that Spidey and Daredevil ran into each other at a Columbia rager, and chose to celebrate the end of the semester together. We're also fairly sure that Spidey doesn't remember much after this picture was taken.
TV Rights to The Wheel of Time Optioned by New Studio, With Jordan Estate's Approval
Harriet McDougal, wife of the late Robert Jordan, dropped some exciting news late Thursday: the TV rights to Jordan's Wheel of Time fantasy epic have been acquired by a major studio.
In the wake of the success of Game of Thrones, and considering the staggering amount of fantasy and sci-fi book properties that have been optioned for TV and film, the absence of The Wheel of Time has been eyebrow-raising. (Or in the parlance of the series itself, perhaps the better term is "sniff producing"?) Fans of the series were given a glimpse into the legal tangle preventing WOT's emergence onto the small screen on February 9, 2015, when a sudden pilot episode dubbed "Winter Dragon" aired in the early A.M. hours on the FXX Network. McDougal released a statement clarifying that the pilot was made without her knowledge, prompting Red Eagle Entertainment, the production company behind the pilot, to issue a lawsuit. (Which they later withdrew.) A more detailed account of the behind-the-scenes machinations can be found at io9, but regardless of the details, overall it seemed as if fans would have to wait a very long time to see Jordan's work on screen in a large-scale production.
Now, the wait is seemingly over.
The Harry Potter Reread: The Deathly Hallows, Chapters 29 and 30
The Harry Potter Reread wishes that all work areas were equipped with blankets and sofas and things. The Harry Potter Reread would like to do all of its work from a pillow fort blanket hut.
This week we're going to hug Neville and break into school. It's chapters 29 and 30 of The Deathly Hallows—The Lost Diadem and The Sacking of Severus Snape.
Index to the reread can be located here! Other Harry Potter and Potter-related pieces can be found under their appropriate tag. And of course, since we know this is a reread, all posts might contain spoilers for the entire series. If you haven't read all the Potter books, be warned.

Is This Our First Look at a New Cinematic Team of X-Men?
io9, Comic Book Resources, and other online nerd news sources are picking up on a new image from X-Men: Apocalypse that was recently posted to Reddit Comic Books. The image appears to show a new team of X-Men emerging from the chaos of the forthcoming movie, a team that looks more like their comic book counterparts than ever before.
This is potentially spoilery, so if you want to check out the line-up, take a peek below the cut.
Potent, Flexible Language: The Assimilated Cuban's Guide to Quantum Santeria
The Assimilated Cuban's Guide to Quantum Santeria comes out of nowhere, blindsides you with its witty play on language, and steers you into a realm of delightful science fiction which blurs present and future with fingers steady on the pulse of modern culture as it is now. Carlos Hernandez, in this one collection, has managed to convince me he belongs in my heart as a favorite. He has shown me how to boldly contort structure in short fiction without taking any hostages and in the instances he succeeds, the payoff is significant and rewarding, leaving the reader a beast contented after a feast.
Hernandez performs the ultimate vanishing act with his endings, which force you to reexamine both the story you just read and your own expectations, but what really stands out is his writing: a potent, flexible force, which can easily strike an emotional chord, as we read in "Homeostasis"—
Dungeons and Dragons was "a Revolution" for Junot Diaz
It's baffling to us now, but in the early 1980s many adult minds genuinely considered Dungeons and Dragons to be "satanic". The game, with its dice and little figurines and complex rules (so basically Monopoly with critters?) was seen as an introduction to demonology, and was blamed for teen suicides and murders.
The New York Times recently took a look at this moment of panic, and confirmed that the only real result of a childhood spent playing D&D was: a life spent in creative industries. Authors Junot Diaz and Cory Doctorow talked to the paper about how Dungeons & Dragons set the course of their lives.
When Your Dream Project Is A Financial Failure: Disney's Treasure Planet
Let's skip back a moment, to 1985:
Writer/directors Ron Clements and John Musker: Pirates! In! Space!
Chairman of Walt Disney Pictures Jeffrey Katzenberg: No.
Ron Clements and John Musker: But! Pirates! In! Space!
Jeffrey Katzenberg: What about this "Great Mouse" thing you've been talking about? That sounded cute. And topical!
Or, to another moment, in 1987:
Ron Clements and John Musker: Pirates! In! Space!
Jeffrey Katzenberg: Or mermaids! In water!
The Tale of Shikanoko Sweepstakes!
The first book of Lian Hearn's Tale of Shikanoko, Emperor of the Eight Islands, is out this week from Farrar, Straus & Giroux—and we want to send you a copy of it and an advance copy of book two, Autumn Princess, Dragon Child, which comes out June 7th!
In the opening pages of the action-packed Book One of Lian Hearn's epic Tale of Shikanoko series–all of which will be published in 2016–a future lord is dispossessed of his birthright by a scheming uncle, a mountain sorcerer imbues a mask with the spirit of a great stag for a lost young man, a stubborn father forces his son to give up his wife to his older brother, and a powerful priest meddles in the succession to the Lotus Throne, the child who is the rightful heir to the emperor barely escaping the capital in the arms of his sister. And that is just the beginning.
As destiny weaves its rich tapestry, a compelling drama plays out against a background of wild forests, elegant castles, hidden temples, and savage battlefields. This is the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's imagination, where animal spirits clash with warriors and children navigate a landscape as serene as it is deadly.

Paolo Bacigalupi Uses Fiction and Law to Debate Whether Robots Are Capable of Murder
It sounds like a joke: An SFF/speculative fiction author and a robotics law expert come together to talk about a killer sex robot. But it's actually part of Future Tense, a partnership of Slate, New America, and Arizona State University to explore how emerging technologies are changing our lives. While past Future Tense installments have included screenings of The Terminator with robotic experts and panels on genetic engineering or nuclear energy and environmentalism, this week takes a different approach: The Water Knife author Paolo Bacigalupi has written "Mika Model," a short story about a sex robot who murders her owner (or does she?); and Ryan Calo, a law professor with a specialization in robotics, has penned a response.
The Thrill of Mountain Climbing, or, Why Am I Doing This Again?
In this ongoing series, we ask SF/F authors to describe a specialty in their lives that has nothing (or very little) to do with writing. Join us as we discover what draws authors to their various hobbies, how they fit into their daily lives, and how and they inform the author's literary identity!
I write scary books, so I like my scares and frights. But sometimes, I have to admit, I overdo it a little. If you ever read a scary book or watched a horror movie and you're so tangled up in it that it grabs you by the throat, you probably recognize the moment when you're like, Why am I doing this again? What was I actually thinking?
Imagine you're in Switzerland. You're me, so you've just climbed this incredibly spectacular-looking peak called Zinalrothorn, which towers like a ruined castle thousands and thousands of feet over its surrounding glaciers. This is one of those that has no easy way down. The escape route is the knife-edged north ridge, a harrowingly steep descent over cruxes called the Sphinx, the Razor and Le Bourrique. These names send chills down your spine.

MADISON, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
Average Volume: 553,889
Volume % Change: 142% Shares of WLK are trending higher here after the company delivered a profit that beat Wall Street's expectations but missed on beating revenue expectations. Adjusted earnings per share rose 40.46% to $1.84 vs. EPS of $1.31 in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue decreased 16.45% to $864.6 million from the year-earlier quarter. >>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts From a technical perspective, WLK is gapping higher here and quickly approaching its 50-day moving average at $88.05 with above-average volume. This move is starting to push shares of WLK within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if WLK manages to take out its 50-day at $88.05 and then once it clears more resistance at $88.98 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in WLK as long as it's trending above today's low of $84.65 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 553,889 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then WLK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $92.50 to $95.

Comparethemarket.com's meerkat mascots take their adopted son back to his African roots in a campaign from the insurance comparison website.
VCCP created the 40-second ad, which is called "homeland". It first aired on TV on Saturday 9 August. The spot features meerkat characters Aleksandr and Sergei visiting Africa to introduce their adopted pup, Oleg, to his homeland.
The story of Oleg in Africa will play out in a series of ads that will air over six months. The campaign will be supported by idents on ITV's Coronation Street from 11 August.
The work was written by Javier Romartinez, art directed by Stephen Misir and directed by Darren Walsh through Passion Pictures. The media agency was MEC.
Oleg was introduced into the long-running Comparethemeerkat.com ads at Christmas. Comparethemarket has been running its meerkat ads since 2009.

Power of the Pardon
Obama may finally use his. But can mass clemency fix a broken criminal justice system?
Linzer also highlighted a particularly glaring case in which Clarence Aaron, a black man serving three life sentences for cocaine distribution who had no prior record, was turned down for a pardon even though the prosecutor and the judge supported commuting his sentence. Ronald Rogers, the pardon attorney who just lost his job, left out their recommendations in advising the White House to turn Aaron down. After another investigation, the inspector general for the Justice Department found Rogers had misrepresented the case without input from anyone more senior at the DOJ.
Obama finally pardoned Aaron last December, but the fact that Rogers stayed in office until this week is one measure of how reluctant the president has been to take on the larger breakdown in the pardoning system. Perhaps the idea was that if Obama hardly pardoned anyone, he couldn't be accused of pardoning unfairly. Reagan and Clinton granted 1 in 100 pardon applications. Under George W. Bush, the rate fell to 1 in 1,000. In May 2012, the rate for Obama was 1 in 5,000. That's partly because the number of applicants has risen with the prison population. But it's also because Obama has played it so safe. Even with increasing bipartisan consensus that federal drug sentences have become too draconian and costly, the sad fact is that there's always a political case to be made against letting people out of prison.
But now that Rogers is gone, Cole is talking not just about making more pardons, but also about addressing "older, stringent punishments that are out of line with sentences imposed under today's laws." He described surveying all 215,000 federal inmates as a means to identify applicants, and he has written to the 93 U.S. attorneys for recommendations. Even more promising, reform-minded groups like the ACLU, the American Bar Association, and Families Against Mandatory Minimums would play a direct role, recruiting and training lawyers to use the completed surveys to screen for eligible applicants.
Still, the pardon process is inevitably tricky and technical, and the devil is in the details. According to the Washington Post, here are the criteria for a pardon Cole laid out:
Offenders seeking clemency will have to have served at least 10 years of their sentence, have no significant criminal history, and no connection to gangs, cartels or organized crime. Applicants also must be inmates who probably would have received a "substantially lower sentence" if convicted of the same offense today. And to be eligible, they must have demonstrated good conduct in prison.
This sounds like the swing Holder took last summer at harsh sentencing, when he directed federal prosecutors to stop specifying the quantity of drugs for certain offenders so as to avoid triggering a mandatory minimum sentence. Then as now, it's not clear how a grand pronouncement plays out on the ground. Traditionally, pardons have often turned on whether prisoners significantly cooperated with the prosecution, were seriously ill or elderly, or simply serving an unduly severe sentence. The key limiting factor on Cole's new list of standards is the requirement that a prisoner would have done much less time if sentenced today. That could be a narrow category: drug offenders sentenced to long terms before the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced the disparity between sentences for crack and powder cocaine.
If that's all the proposed reform adds up to, it's too minor a tweak to the system. It might not even address some of the most sympathetic cases—people who say they played unknowing or peripheral roles in a larger drug ring. People like Stephanie George, who said she didn't know about the lockbox full of cocaine her boyfriend had hidden in her attic. The judge in her case 17 years ago said he had no choice but to sentence her to life, even though he saw her as "a girlfriend and bag holder and money holder but not actively involved in the drug dealing."
In her excellent 2012 article, Love outlines a three-legged stool of comprehensive reform of the pardon power. First, the process needs clear standards, with reasoned explanations of why an application is granted. Second, whoever is in charge has to have independence from the Justice Department, real authority, and the confidence of the president. Third, the pardon process "must be accessible and responsive to people of all walks of life, and take into account the likelihood that many deserving pardon applicants will not have skilled counsel or well-connected supporters to advocate on their behalf." In other words, the system for clemency has to be fair. For everyone—not just the prisoners sentenced under the single unduly harsh law Congress has so far seen fit to change.

"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
Well, if you remove some of your chain links then you could run your rear wheel slammed. (running your rear wheel slammed is where the axle is all the way in the dropout so that it is touching) That should definetly help. If that doesn't do it then you might need a new chain. And I would suggest getting chain tensioners, they really help when you need to tighten or loosen your chain, and it adds a little safety too since it's two bolts holding the axle instead of one. How much would you be willing to spend on a pair of chain tensioners is my question? They can get pretty pricey for what they are. And do you run pegs?
No one in this world can be perfect, therefore practice makes experienced.
What the hell are you talking about? There's already two buts on the axle, not just one, and a tensioner would act as a washer of sorts, not as a nut.Originally Posted by FLyBOy
Originally Posted by Beerman
No, I meant that there would be two different things putting tension and holding the axle on each side. So there would be two things holding each end of the axle instead of just one nut.
No one in this world can be perfect, therefore practice makes experienced.
First off, if you know how to tighten your nuts, you won't need a tensioner. Second, you only need a tensioner on the drive side; it's pretty pointless to run one on the other side.
Originally Posted by Beerman
I already know how to tighten my 'chain' (not nuts like you said) without tensioners, that's what I had to do the whole time before I got chain tensioners, it's just easier and more precise if you use them. Who knows, I might eventually take them off if I don't like them anymore. And it doesn't hurt to have one on both sides, it pulls the axle evenly. And the only reason I have one on each end of my axle is because they came in a set like that. And if you have chain tensioners on both sides then they hold the axle in place and keep the chain tight at the same time without having to tighten the axle nuts or hold the axle in place; this makes it really easy to see if your wheel is centered in the dropouts evenly. And no, you don't need chain tensioners, but I like them and he wanted to know peoples opinions, so I gave him mine.
No one in this world can be perfect, therefore practice makes experienced.
chain tensioners are for ******s that don't know how to fix their bike or tighten nuts. Or for those **** that just buy a bunch of little accessories and **** that they don't need. my bike is simple. i hate ****ing around with it. the only thing on my bike i don't need is a pair of bar-ends, and the only reason i took them was because i was tired of getting stabbed
Only ******s get stabbed with their bars.Originally Posted by queensrider86
How'd that feel?
For what it's worth, I ran chain tensioners when the family was racing BMX. They were actually built into my wife's cruiser. When you're maintaining 4 race bikes that are being raced 4 times a week, and tear everything down at least once a week, you do whatever you can to make your maintenance easier.
"It hurts so good..."
I wouldnt suggest that to someone who is having trouble keeping their chain tight in the first place because I for some reason dont see them removing their chain everytime they want to remove their wheel.Originally Posted by FLyBOy
A chain tensioner is a nice thing to have. I havent had one in a few years, but it always made my wheel a whole lot easier to set in place when I was doing things. You don't need them, but the "******" line is just unnecessary.Originally Posted by queensrider86
hey i have chain tensioners and im not a ***..and they are for lazy people that dont want to mess with there chain tension after they ride...
He is right, and chain tensioners can help that. (making maintenance easier)Originally Posted by TWAHL
Originally Posted by SXE FBM RIDER
And this is 100% true also. I agree with you all the way, chain tensioners make setting the wheel in place a heck of a lot easier as well as tightening and loosening the chain. And yes, if you want to remove your wheel you do have to take off the chain tensioners which can be a bit of a hassle, but for how much they help I don't mind having to do that. Besides, how often do you need to take off your wheel? I sure don't have to that often.
No one in this world can be perfect, therefore practice makes experienced.
Iwill probably just run them slammed to the wall...I dont have pegs on right now but I am going to buy new DK cinciannti so i wont needs this ****y bike any moreOriginally Posted by FLyBOy
THanks to all who replied coldnt have asked for more from you ******s!!!!!!!!!
"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
actually you are wrong. you TENSION your chain and TIGHTEN the nuts (just like beerman said) to hold the chains tension. and in case you havent noticed, anything beerman ever says is correct, so no need to pick apart his posts. (i still like to run 2 tensioners though)Originally Posted by FLyBOy
can someone tell me how to keep the chain tensioned while i tighten it up?

Put a monkey wrench handle inbetween your tire and rear triangle, like if your bike is upside down. and use it as a lever to push your wheel back while you tighten your wheel. I made a diagram.Originally Posted by che_lives90
the red thing is the wrench and the blue arrow is the way you pull it, see how it makes your wheel go back. Physical science; is there anything better?
thanks man i have tried that but I was just wondering if there was any other way because when I do that my tire shifts to one side??
"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
You could try chain tensioners.Originally Posted by che_lives90
"It hurts so good..."
heres how you tension your chain w/out tensioners--
start by pulling the wheel back so the chain is tight, then tighten both axle nuts. at this point you chain wont be tight enough. loosen you drive side axle nut and push the wheel towards the opposing chainstay, tighten the driveside nut. then loosen the non-drive nut to center the wheel in the frame, and retighten the non-drive nut. you may have to repeat this a couple times to get the chain tensioned where you want it. you dont have to fully tighten the nuts until you have the tension perfect, then tighten you nuts all the way, but dont tighten one side all the way then the other, tight one side a little, then tighten the other side a little, go back and forth till they are kinda tight, then really put you weight on them so prevent slipping.

U could try a chain tensioner or lock washers(they have tiny teeth to grip to the frame.)
Lock washers is a great idea. I wonder if they make any with rubber that won't ruin the paint?

Budget's Proposed Reversal Of Tax Deduction Will Hurt Credit Unions' Ability To Serve Canadians
TORONTO, March 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Bill Maurin, CFO and Acting CEO of Meridian, Ontario's largest credit union, says the federal government's proposed scrapping of a key tax deduction will seriously hamper Canadian credit unions' ability to service their members, particularly those in small, rural communities. In its 2013 budget, the federal government has proposed phasing out a longstanding tax deduction for credit unions over the course of the next five calendar years. Under the proposed change, the allowable deduction amount for credit unions would decrease by 20 percent per year beginning in 2013 until its elimination in 2017.The deduction, implemented by the government approximately four decades ago, provides credit unions with a vital tool to allow them to better service their members against a Canadian financial services landscape that is dominated by the traditional banking sector. "Canadians want and need a viable alternative to the traditional banks. For more than a century, the country's credit unions have fulfilled that need," says Maurin. "Meridian's approach continues to resonate with our members across the province, who have helped us grow from $3 billion to $9.6 billion in assets over the past seven years alone. By reversing this important and longstanding deduction for credit unions, the government will significantly diminish consumer choice for Canadians." Maurin says the move will prove particularly harmful to small, rural communities underserved by the traditional banking sector. " Canada is well-served by its big banks. However, it's vital that Canadians have alternatives to the traditional banks, especially in small communities where local residents may not have access to any banking presence," he says. "Meridian is calling upon the federal government to seriously reconsider the proposed scrapping of this deduction in light of the negative, long-term implications it will have on Main Street, Canada." "As a supporter of more than 15,000 locally-based businesses across Ontario, Meridian understands what makes local economies tick," says Maurin. "While the government is suggesting that its 2013 budget will serve to foster and ignite local economies, we feel strongly that the move to repeal this deduction will have the absolute opposite effect." In Ontario alone, credit unions have 531 branches and represent the only financial services provider in 25 Ontario communities, providing loans to small and medium sized businesses, mortgages to buy homes and donations of time and money to strengthen communities. About Meridian: Meridian is Ontario's largest credit union, serving more than 247,000 Members at 61 branches and 8 Commercial Business Centres in communities across south central Ontario. With more than 70 years of banking history, Meridian delivers a full range of financial services, solutions and advice tailored to meet each Member's individual needs, including access to The Exchange® Network with more than 2,400 no-fee ABMs in Canada. Membership at Meridian is open to anyone looking for a financial services provider with a local, community focus that offers a viable alternative to traditional banking options.

Stephanie is for sure if we have a girl. It is the name of a cousin (like an older sister to me) who died in a car crash when I was in high school.
We were thinking of Adele for a middle name, but the more I turn it over in my head, the less sure I am. What names do you think would go well as a middle name with Stephanie?

This "Most Embarrassing Facebook Fails Yet" list is cracking me up…
I can only imagine who these people voted for…
(h/t Telegraph)
I can only imagine who these people voted for…
(h/t Telegraph)
What i gleaned from that is stupid people dont know they are stupid, they think of themselves as smart and in general are arrogant in thier lack of knowledge. Kinda like obama voters…
maybe OFA or healtcare.gov can use the knuckleheaded underaged drinking driver as another one of their 'hey, stuff happens, #GetCovered'!
"You just destroyed 6 families, good thing you're #Covered!"
I hope you realize the irony in your statement…
Go back to your village idiot
That is exactly what I was talking about… *sigh* There is stupidity on both sides. Plenty to go around…
The way you are responding to these comments about your grammar mistakes and misspelling is literally what you described in your first comment.
It's as bad as some of the photos on this post.
Who is his village idiot?
I suspect you meant to say, "Go back to your village, idiot."
And the irony just keeps compounding…
Oh. And you misspelled their…
Actually no, they used the correct form of the word.
Ummm. They still misspelled it.
Lol… This thread is plum full of idiots.. They're probably still wondering what is so funny about the posts..
Nope, still the wrong usage. Should be they're. As in the contraction for they are. 'Can I do what they are doing?'
No, it would not be they're, that would be incorrect. It would not be '…they are lack of knowledge'. But it is misspelled, the ie is turned around and should be ei— their. '.. their lack of knowledge.'
Their is used to show possession. So yes, your example of using their is correct in that context, but not in the situation where someone wants to do what someone else is doing. "Can i do what they're doing" is correct.
That is correct. It has to be put in context of the sentence. The best way to figure it out is to substitute the words 'they are' just as I did in my example to see if it is correct, if one has any question about the usage. (Your i needs capitalized… ;}
"Their" doing does not belong to them. It is what "they are"doing. So, basically the little girl was wrong in spelling and usage.
Someone need added to the list? LOL
it's common core..
typo , i am sure
You're both right, One person was correcting the misspelling of "Their" and the other person was talking about the failure to use the contraction "They're" for" They are" funny if you read all of the post. Knowing it was two different parts of the post they were talking about.
The Solution!
Ken….excellent solution……some people also seem to have a problem with "no" and "know"……amazing how dumb some people can be………..
One must forgive the occasional typographical error.
Obvious typo. My swype keyboard does it a lot.
And yet you don't know that you should capitalize I or that there's an apostrophe in "don't." So pretty sure you're stupid too. Oh and "kinda" isn't a word. And Obama should be capitalized.
What I gleaned from this is that stupid people don't know they're stupid – and that includes you rumcrook.
boy you leftards are really thin skinned. what I see here is aside from spelling errors leftards hate the truth so they are attacking the messenger. and you run in packs to try and attack anyone who's common sense message shine a light on the really pathetic voting record of the left. pretty much if you can spell kristen with a why im thinking all rules are off. im done here flame away leftards.
Flame? Us? Who was it that called us leftards? Who was it who said all of the stupid people are liberals? See, this is why there is such partisan division in America.
People like you on both sides prevent anyone from actually trying to fix our nation. The conservatives must be seen toeing the party line, or risk losing votes. And the liberals must do the same. Nobody can actually pursue real solutions… Thank you for helping to destroy our nation. As Lincoln said, "A house divided cannot stand."
He's just telling it like it is. The stupidest things I've ever read are always from the left. That's where the term leftards comes from.
You are the reason that so many individuals despise the right wing conservatives. Stop being so judgmental and ignorant. People's beliefs shape who they are, yes, but that doesn't mean that you can bash them for it. People like you are the reason that I have very little, if any at all, hope in humanity. . .
The only ones who despise right wing conservatives are liberal sheeple. Only becaue you've been programmed to do that, it's the only thing you know.
Being judgmental and ignorant is not the exclusive territory of the right wing. I have seen way more than my fair share of intolerance and ignorance from the "progressive" left, and they are always talking about being so open and tolerant. Just saying.
The left is benevolent, open and tolerant just as long as you agree with them. Have a different point of view? You will be labeled a vile pestilence on 'progressive society' and severely admonished for your lack of socialist vision. Better comedy can't be made up…
Just a thought on your own intelligence, you're not supposed to start a sentence with a conjunction. Such as "And…". Just saying if you're going to throw stones.
This is what R.W. Burchfield has to say about this use of and:
There is a persistent belief that it is improper to begin a sentence with And, but this prohibition has been cheerfully ignored by standard authors from Anglo-Saxon times onwards. An initial And is a useful aid to writers as the narrative continues.
from The New Fowler's Modern English Usage
edited by R.W. Burchfield. Clarendon Press: Oxford, England. 1996.
Furthermore, your last phrase, "Just saying if you're going to throw stones" is actually a fragment. What were you saying again?
You can start a sentence with "And", as long as there's a comma between it, and the next word.
I never capitalize obama, as it is intended to show my disrespect for him.
It's idiots like you that are showing the world that we are a country divided. Our enemies are loving it. You hate our President more than you Love our country.
No, I see him for what he is; a litany of failures. It's "useful idiots" like you who blindly follow him and who are dividing this country. As far as loving this country is concerned. I have a Bronze Star and Purple Heart hanging on my wall…
o'chit is NEVER capitalized by me.
"And yet,"; "'I',"; "So,"; "stupid, too"; "Oh,"; "word, and"; "stupid; that"; "you, rumcrook".
obammy doesn't deserve capitalization.
You "gleaned"? HAHA! You must be an Obama voter.
"Gleaned" is actually a word and it's being used correctly here.
"Gleaned" is the past-tense of "glean", which is a word. In fact, it's in the Bible.
Irony: I think you meant: "What I gleaned from that is stupid people don't know they are stupid…" (Note that I is capitalized, and don't is a contraction) and "their lack of knowledge" (note the correct spelling of their).
wow you must be smart…. or totally dumb and overlooking what he said.
Like Obama himself…..he's nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is
Kinda Like????????? LOL
or Tea Party members?
Read your post. Lol. Your calling Obama voters stupid and you put up an illiterate post like that. Stupid conservative.
I laughed at the one about the hashtag on a 90's phone, I dont know how its used for but they always had them on phones for a purpose xD
It's called a pound sign. It's often used by call centers as an input device to advance. Some mobile carriers also use them with codes for fast retrieval of account information. I hope this helps!
In the 80's & 90's, I often transferred called using the "pound" sign followed by a one or two digit number. It is still used today when I call into conference calls. It separates the call number, from the meeting number from the password number.
You know, what's really sad about people that don't know what a pound sign is for? That it pretty much tells you they don't have or handle their own accounts. You usually need to use it after entering in your account number when you pay things by phone or need to talk to customer service.
LoL! It's been called the number symbol for as long as I have known about it. Only recently has it been called the hashtag. What is the #___________. There have been several words and symbols that have changed with technology coming of age and now have dual meanings. But younger people only know the new meanings, and frankly, a lot of older people only know the original meanings. This happens in many languages and with many cultures as well. The danger is not trying to understand that other people do have other meanings with the same words we use and taking offense or not caring we might give offense to people without taking this into consideration.
if there was a meaning before I knew of the word/symbol "I do not wish
to have my sense of superiority of knowledge usurped by some else (esp
some old fart)." On the other hand, I also feel quite strongly that if
they're (sorry, I just *had* to lol, I'm rarely serious : ) is a new
meaning for a word/symbol I was unaware of then I personally believe the
new meaning is irrelevant, should be dismissed and my knowledge of the
"previous" (and therefore somehow more superior), meaning is the only
one that should be considered.
Also I don't like change, new change or old change, if it is change I was unaware of I don't like it at all!!!
things change, history also matter; "BE ADAPTABLE" and don't take
yourself too seriously (after all, I don't take yourself two seriously
😉 heeeheee two
As the person above, i approve this message!
hey! so am i!
By the way, you should have used "I" not i, you dumb (insert whatever party you're hating on today here)!!!! I do however thank you for endorsing yourself, who also happens to be myself
They were used in front of phone numbers, much like it is currently used in front of the text in our current hashtags.
It was nice knowing you, America. Alas, the democrats turned you stupid over the last 100 years.
Funny because the GOP and Democrats have split residence in the White House over the last 100 years, so that would make each party equally responsible for our nations stupidity.
Yeah. Because the DoE and teachers' unions and school curriculae are great GOP contributions.
You know something, Nigel? No matter how much visual and audio and written proof of leftists intending to dumb down the populace, idiots like you always revert to 'a pox on both houses' crap.
Freedom isn't free. It requires vigilance. We Rethuglicans usually have jobs and a life to concern ourselves with. Whereas the bitter leftists have jobs and lives to concern themselves with – ours.
The GOP is responsible for the invasive NSA and our spy state… Both sides have their fare share of mistakes. Further division, name-calling, and hatred is unlikely to fix our nation, that is what we tried over the past several decades…
I certainly won't disagree with you there. Every time a Rethuglican invents an agency, no matter how benign the intent, eventually it becomes greatly expanded/abused by the next filthy 'rat administration.
Witness the EPA and OSHA. Invented with the best of intentions by the ol' Trickster. Used as terror organizations by every 'rat president since.
Ditto Homeland Security. In fact, that, Medi part D and NCLB were W.'s three biggest mistakes.
Maybe we should get rid of them, don't you think? I can think of a few more gubermunt (yes, that deliberate) "institutions" that wouls benefit the swinging of the axe….the Dept of Egumakasion, the ATF, even the IRS can use a lot of trimming…..
R.I.P. this our lady Columbia (an archaic name for America, not to be confused with the South American country of Colombia).
The liberal progressives plan to dumb down America? Mission accomplished.
Hold on. I am a proud conservative and a republican. But what does their "ignorance" <== key word there, have to do with them being liberal? They weren't taught very well. Perhaps, they went to public schools, because they could not afford private schools. You don't have to be a liberal to be ignorant of these things that were posted up here. There was that bratty kid, but there is no reason to assume he is liberal.
Hey! I like you!
thanks. I just want the arguments to be based on actual issues instead of which person is more ignorant than us. If there is ignorance we should try to replace it with knowledge instead of simply mocking people.
aside from that though. i did get a kick out of the posts above. They were humorous if you dont put them into a "these posts are ignorant therefore they are liberal democrat" context. I would like to re-iterate, just in case, I am a proud conservative republican.
I have seen idiots in both parties. I'm glad someone else gets it.
No one said they were liberals.
…Really? Didn't you look at ANY OTHER comment?
These guys who commented said that. I don't believe that was Josh's point. His point was that ignorant people vote for corrupt leaders. That has nothing to do with what political party you are, because let's face it there are corrupt Republicans as well as Democrats. Albeit there is a lot less. Corruption comes with this territory. If you are ignorant and don't take the time to research things, like the people being made fun of in Joshua's post, you will end up playing the lottery with the future of America. Because you may pick the right guy or you may not, because you didn't take the time to learn about who you want to lead you.
I thought you were referring to the article itself. Carry on.
It is a known strategy of leftist leaders to foster "useful idiots". Ignorance is a hallmark of leftist voters.
"I can only imagine who these people voted for" Ted Cruz?
I can only imagine for whom these people voted…..Barack Hussein Obama? Kids like yourself are notoriously democrats. Thanks for proving your ignorance AND stupidity.
Ironically the most educated and rich people in our nation are disproportionately Democrat… (sarcasm) Thank you for your well thought out and factually correct comment though (end sarcasm)…
More can be seen on lamebook.com.
The behind the wheel one was funny. Wait, they were all funny. Good post.
This one is the best!
I beat that woman's second grader in using "their" in the correct context by one year: "(Their )mother was totally flabbier tasted by the sheer stupidity of going (there) in her chat. The child and the mother, well, (they're) both going to grow up to be complete idiotic liberals like Dingy Harry."
Stop the earth please. I'd like to get off
While true there are plenty of stupid/ignorant people on both sides I can't recall a single Republican legislator getting worried that Guam may tip over or that the Mars rover can now take a picture of the American flag on the moon. Just sayin'. LOL
These are examples of what happens when parents are no longer actively parenting
their children and expect the Government to teach their children. Stupidity has
no political affiliation.
Yes, it does… Liberals are Democrats…
… but the same people who pick the Democrats choose the Republicans. The entire voting process is rigged.
depending on it's use – # = number sign e.g. #5
# = pound sign e.g. 10# bag of sugar
# = hashtag e.g. #thestupidarebreedingfaster
I believe high schoolers should have a class where they spend a month "in the 70s". No phone, no internet, only three TV channels and FM radio. They have to go to libraries for information, take pictures with a Polaroid, and read newspapers (you know, the paper kind). Maybe some of the stupidity of the younger generation will melt away.
I hope they made this stuff up,if not,we're in a world of hurt
So much for public education!
After further review of the post on this Tread, Please disregard this and My prior post, For I'm sure this Tread will be part of Their next list.
It's not made up. I've seen plenty of other ones. How do you think Obama got elected ? We're raising a bunch of tech savvy idiots !!!!!!!!!!
It must take working at it to be that dumb.
I think we take our knowledge a bit for granted sometimes. You might be surprised at the incredible impact our environment (especially when very very young) has on our capabilities in reasoning and openness to new ideas and learning. The impact that reasoning ability and openness to new ideas has on your entire developmental process is incredible; being raised in certain environments will stifle such development and make the command of grammar that some of us take for granted and believe to be the result of our 'intelligence' virtually impossible.
analogy: Well fed and exercise routine Bob knows he is a superior person to underfeed and never pushed Sam
1.) Bob really is physically superior to Sam
2.) this may be due entirely to environmental factors and have nothing to do with Bob being 'innately superior'
3.) While Sam should not be representing us in events that require physical performance, the potential of Sam's offspring (innate genetic potential), may be the equal or even superior of Bob's….. barring the early epigenetic influences that may cripple that gene potential being expressible.
The bleached-lion people… all I can say is LOL.
Concerning those of us ignorant of the Titanitic… that most unfortunate Shireling idiocy.
Looks like our school system is doing a GREAT job,,,,and the so-called Parents are allowing them to do so,,,sad, huh.
You can't fix stupid!
that's ok these days we don't fix things anyway, just toss it out and we'll build an even better stupid!
This is hilarious and what's funnier is they probably voted republican. Why? They probably my don't even know lol
We are living in the movie 'Idiocracy'
this is what happens when you change good ole reading, writing and arithmatic, scale back geography and history and concentrate on making kids eat inadequate meals in the lunchroom just because you are the first lady and can throw your weight around. Thank you Lord my children have brains enough to encourage proper education for my grandsons.
That's pretty funny. I like the "maps" one.
Holy Cow!!! Can we focus on the subject instead of the grammar? I swear, I come to these pages and this is all I see constantly. People berating each other over insignificant crap! Get ahold of yourselves. (Bring on the backlash)
Backlash for what? All this is just for laughs…enjoy it.
It's interesting how Ovomit voters come up whenever stupidity is discussed. There are actually 3 catagories of Ovomit supporters; 1) Communists, 2) Racists, 3) Morons. There are no others
Titanic WAS a real event and NOT just a movie. How dumb can that guy be!
Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent life down here.
A lot of villages must be missing idiots. I hope some of these were made as a joke for this article
#4 is the perfect example of why kids do not need EVERYTHING they want. Only makes them spoiled, ungrateful, and entitled.
As a former LPN the last one was the most funny and the one about obviously he doesn't care that is.
What's really sad is that there a lot more of these types out there now than ever before. Scary isn't it?
I always want to ask those with such intelligence who they would vote for if there were an election coming up.
