Bullshit.

If you're saying all the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are war criminals, then FUCK YOU. They had the legal right to go in, and in their patriotic duty they served their country.

This is the fucking bullshit the Vietnam vets put up with, being called baby killers and being spit on. They didn't deserve that disrespect and the vets from these wars don't deserve it either.

I think the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are huge clusterfucks, but I don't blame the soldiers, I blame Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld. They're the war criminals.

In war it's not murder, it's killing the enemy. You didn't make the policy, you didn't transport yourself to the war zone, and put yourself out on patrol. No one can fault you for feeling bad about what happened, but I bet anyone a thousand dollars you did what had to be done to protect yourself and your unit.

Don't beat yourself up, man. You did your best. Now be the best person you can be and move on with your life.

When you put up your post a month ago with your first attempt, I thought it looked pretty good, and this one is even better.

What was amazing was the really picky criticisms by the other modelers or renderers (is that a real term?) like this one.

I'd hate it if I took a class in modeling or rendering (what ever it's called) and these guys were grading. I'd flunk out.

Carpe diem, my friend. Good luck to you in your noble quest.

Probably not so much hush money as it is money to avoid lawsuits for wrongful termination. The other thing, these guys are all in one big club. The members of the board of directors sit on each other's boards. So you want a big fat golden parachute when you leave after a year, they're more than happy to give it to you because they know you'll return the favor when they leave.

That's the conspiracy that everyone should be fighting against.

Don't be a wuss and get out of your own head - you're rejecting yourself before you even tried to do anything. As the saying goes "If You Don't Play, You'll Never Win." And what's the worse that can happen? You won't hook up. What's the best that can happen.? You'll meet an awesome girl and have a great time. Clearly it's worth the risk. So call the host and get those digits!

Not so fast there Bucko! Isaac Asimov wrote a story called Robot Dreams and as Shakespeare put it "To sleep, perchance to dream."

The annual loss report from the ABF indicates the losses have stabilized, and I saw a program month ago on the Science Channel on beekeeping, and while the losses from CCD have a significant economic impact on beekeepers, they have the stock on hand with numerous Queens that can be put back in the hive and it will quickly repopulate the colony.

So they continue to have losses from CCD which is costing them money, but they can replace the hive and keep the population fairly stable.

The interesting fact about CCD in the US is the bee population has remained fairly stable. The bee keepers are actively breading bees and they have been able to keep up with the population loses.

In many ways a big percentage of the protesters don't want a "Unified" message. This is a leaderless gathering and part of that means there are no single talking points, no one group or person can dictate what the message will be, and there is no TL;DR.

They all are "mad as hell and they don't want to take it anymore", but they have their own opinions on what to be mad about.

In the long run a "Unified" message will have to emerge or the protest is doomed to failure. For now their presence on Wall Street (and many other cities around the nation) is message enough.

If you showed them the wheel, you would be God. They had the wheels on a few toys, but they didn't realize you could use it for carrying and transporting things. They had to carry everything on their backs.

This kinda blows the talking points about TARP by the business commentators out of the water. Their big contention is the US taxpayer made money on TARP because the banks paid it all back with interest. This shows they paid us back with our own money by taking it out of the pockets of small business. Fuckers.

This is a cute cartoon but Steve was a Zen Buddhist. Whether, in his beliefs, he obtains enlightenment or an existence in the Pure Land or life in another realm after death, Moses and angel wings are not part of it.

He was brilliant and he had an unmatched esthetic sense. He never compromised on what he thought was right-he only did it his way. Whether you're a fanboy or an Apple hater, you can't deny the impact Steve Jobs has had on the tech world.

I was going to add this link about his thoughts on drugs but I decided to keep the comment simple.

The link is a great interview of Carlin by Jon Stewart.

She wouldn't even have to write the paper, she could just show Ms Childers the movie - or was it this movie? Either one, they're basically documentaries.

Who even has a cassette tape deck any more, and why would anyone want to listen to a cassette?

The sound quality is horrible, remember Dolby noise reduction? That was invented because of the tape hiss, because the sound quality is so horrible. And on a commercial release you only get 20-25 mins of music per side (the same as an old vinyl LP). Lastly, the tape will invariably get eaten by the player and it's ruined.

It must be hipsters that are trying to bring this format back. But take it from someone who listened to tapes back in the day, they suck.

so yes, it's OK to beat the shit out of drunks, diabetics, or anyone in a coma.
