So are we expected to pick up the cost of the Chastity Belts we're trying to wrestle the flower of American womanhood into ?

Kozak

Just curious. What do women who intentionally have a fatherless child through insemination or a casual hookup tell their sons about their function in the world?

Kozak

Yeah. I countered the union propaganda and anti Walker screeds of a facebook friend who was a Wisconsin firefighter and was soon banished for not bowing to the Pravda of the unions.

When you lie down with Rats you should expect to be treated like one...

One of our troops lost his mind and snapped. What's the excuse of the dozens of Afghan " allies" that have cold bloodedly murdered our soldiers? When do we get an apology for all those incidents?

Another Progressive vote for Obama.....

Just wait till we have our national healthcare database in place and someone enters something erroneous  in it.  You can be sure the process to get it corrected will be sisyphean. Look what happens when the Feds decide you are dead.....

So the only 2 options they could come up with was A. Have the baby and raise it. B. Kill it.  Did the idea of giving the child up for adoption NEVER come up?

....So 3D films require us to focus at one distance and converge at another. And 600 million years of evolution has never presented this problem before. All living things with eyes have always focussed and converged at the same point.

UH the point of having 2 eyes is to give us a stereoscopic 3D image of the world. 2D is actually something evolution did not develop our vision for.

Chimay: I saw this photo (or it's cousin) nine years ago when I was stationed in Seoul. I thought it was snarky then, I think it's snarky now. Is a society's value really, truly, measured by the amount of lumens that reach the orbiting sensors? · Dec 19 at 7:10pm

Oh come on. It's a direct correlation to everything from industrialization to transport capacity to general wealth.   When your countries problems are obvious from orbit you have a real problem.

Presidential Poll

 

I note Mitt and Obama are nearly neck and neck.  Maybe I do sit this one out.

 Great.

Santorum 58%

Paul 56%

Perry 52%

Mittens ranks a hair above Obama  based on my answers.

 Based on the choices I'm going need to start drinking early in November next year.

Here's the copy for the new ad:  "Wanted - Republicans to run for office.  Only canonized saints recognized by the Holy See need apply." · Dec 3 at 11:25am

Are you kidding? That would make the candidate a version of American Taliban,

and worse then a terrorist.....

Roberto: Hmm, worse than I think? How about adding in all the municipalities that are effectively insolvent and the trillions in unfunded state pension liabilities, then you're getting into my territory.  My reading this weekend will consist of Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World.

You're too much of a cockeyed optimist EJHill. · Nov 17 at 11:44am

If you add up all the debt and unfunded liabilities of all levels of government in the US it approaches 140 trillion dollars. Weep for our children.

The majority of the population in the Great Depression was rural and more self reliant then todays urban masses.  If the supply chain suffers a 1 week dislocation the it's chaos. · Nov 2 at 7:02am

You are correct up to a point.  The rural population in the 1930's was self-reliant, but at a very meager level.  Today's rural population is much better equipped to handle a depression.  Look at the advances in machine technology over the last 80 years.

As for the cities, yes, there will likely be a population migration if and when a dislocation in the supply chain occurs.  This happened also in the '30's.  The usual tactic was for destitute people to move in with extended family somewhere else.  There may be an upside to this.        · Nov 2 at 7:37am

Machines take oil. Oil means a functioning foreign trade and transport net.

The farmer with a mule and a plow will be farming while the guy with the gigantic combine will be out of luck. ( I'm only being somewhat ironic here.  I don't expect acomplete collapse but if it came it would be far worse today.
