QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 23, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) A friend of mine who is volunteer at Sacred Heart mentioned hearing this story from a volunteer which explained why he was there helping. It is the story of Jews trying to escape Nazi Germany aboard the SS St. Louis and being turned away by Cuba and the United States. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27373131 Your friend is very stupid.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) For being fooled by a forgery? When have we ever convicted someone of being fooled by the forgery? well, if they are using an illegal workforce they should be arrested and put on trial. if they were really 'fooled' use that as a defense. just like if a drug dealer said they thought they were buying baby powder, but it ended up be cocaine - because they were 'fooled'. OK, maybe you were 'fooled', let the jury decide.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:38 PM) Well you have soundly refuted in detail so many of Tex's points its hard to know what to think now. some times the most elegant solution has the least syntax.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 04:56 PM) Ok Cupid and several Mozilla board members as well as a significant portion of the open-source community that supports Mozilla: "extreme gay activists" yea but the guy created Javascript. dude, that is a sweet invention.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 17, 2014 -> 01:18 PM) Meh. There will be a lot of noise, maybe some sanctions, nothing of importance will happen. ^^^

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) He's been talking generally about personal attacks. Gaystapo is a personal attack. Some people might see it as a compliment.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) My point it many employers would be victims here not criminals. No, they would be the criminals.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 10:58 AM) four-year bible course in public schools dumb

I just want to say that this whole mess at the border actually is almost entirely Bush's fault.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) Here you go Alpha, another example: http://guyism.com/sports/axelle-despiegela...l-facebook.html People are too damned sensitive. seems like it only took a couple decades of political correctness to make almost everyone a whiny cry baby.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 11:26 PM) Greg, how can you explain why there's statistically very very few murders/homicides here in China? Well yea, if you aren't counting government executions... cherry picker

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 09:02 PM) Lol, yes, dumb vitriol is emblematic of liberal politics, never conservatives! Political talk radio doesn't exist, and neither do things like twitchy. Benghazi #neverforget I have been meaning to listen to the Rush Limbaugh show more. Been too busy though

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 10:02 AM) Instead you'll have to deal with a stable government, high wages, low prices and low land costs. Waaa waaaaa, this country is terrible waaa That's the spirit!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) I love the US. Think it's on the right track. You actually learn to appreciate the lack of corruption in the US. You may think the US is corrupt, but you have no idea how hard it is to remove corruption when it is actually embedded in a culture (bribes/tax avoidance/etc) As always, bmags with some hilarious sarcasm.

turns out they only had to hold out for a couple more seconds lol

ugh i had a feeling this was gonna happen

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 08:55 AM) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-26...eats-again.html Shocking? Not really. I expect nothing less from this administration. They can't lower the bar any farther. wow. i didn't hear about that.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 07:20 AM) The USPS was a once useful business in which progress/technology has surpassed. That's not to say it's not still useful, but it's not needed anywhere near 6, 5 or even 4 days a week anymore. Anyone that claims they trust the USPS to deliver their packages over UPS or FedEX is, IMO, a liar. I have also found the USPS to be the least reliable.

the GOP is gonna take the Senate soon. Then it begins....

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) McCain, Inhofe, Ayotte A worthless crew indeed.

haha. Obama.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 01:40 PM) If possible, the nba should try to force him to sell.& I bet he sells the team to Magic Johnson. just so the whole thing can end up being as ridiculous as possible.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) Another crazy part was even after the stuff I posted came out so many years ago, this guy was still collecting awards from the NAACP. haha yup. I think we was slated to receive a "life time achievement" award from the NAACP.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) She still doesn't seem to understand what that segment was satirizing. Yeah, racial humor is really difficult to do well, especially if you're using some group you're not a part of. Colbert usually does that very well. I wouldn't have a problem with anyone saying that they understand the point he was making, but still were offended with the way he made it. I could see pointing out that using other ethnic stereotypes, even to satirically mock ethnic stereotypes, is more damaging than helpful, e.g. how many people laugh at Colbert mocking how ridiculous Snyder is versus are really laughing at the racist stereotype (Chappell had this problem frequently). But not once does Seuy Park bother to mention what Colbert was actually mocking with his deliberately-over-the-top ethnic stereotyping, Dan Snyder's Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation. Like Colbert pointed out in his lengthy response last week, the #CancelColbert crowd has completely changed the topic from the continuing use of a racial slur for an NFL team's name and then deliberately rubbing it in with this foundation to Colbert's satire. Most of the articles I've seen talking about it don't even bother to mention the WROAF. Why not try to make common cause with AmeriIndian groups and others who protest against the redskins slur? Suey Park my favorite new political activist. One of my friends is convinced she is actually a Republican doing a Colbert'esque impersonation of an activist, but I think she is for real.
