Water's solo albums, all of them, suck numerous bags of dicks. And I say this as a lifelong Floyd fan. He was nothing without the others.
Also he's faking both his bass playing and his singing on his current tour. People are paying to watch him mime in front of a backing band.
If you want a really good solo album from a Floydster, check out Rick Wright's criminally underrated late 70s album WET DREAM. Perfect laid-back summer music, great compositions and a crackerjack ad hoc band he put together for that one including Mel Collins on woodwinds.

The ADL has compiled a new "Hate List" naming alt-right and alt-lite haters. The alt-lite people are essentially the pro-trump people who used twitter and youtube to disrupt the MSM/Left's game recently.
Yes, everyone on the right is now a "white nationalist" *stage whispers*"NAZI!" Meanwhile, the ADL is tweeting out praise for Mandela on Mandela Day. *headslap*

98 IL Sexual abuse
In 2003, Illinois made significant changes to the statute of limitations. In relevant part, the statute of limitations, states:
"an action for damages for personal injury based on
childhood sexual abuse must be commenced within 10 years of the date [a
person turns 18] or within 5 years of the date the person abused
discovers or through the use of reasonable diligence should discover
both (i) that the act of childhood sexual abuse occurred and (ii) that
the injury was caused by the childhood sexual abuse. The fact that the
person abused discovers or through the use of reasonable diligence
should discover that the act of childhood sexual abuse occurred is not,
by itself, sufficient to start the discovery period under this
subsection (b). Knowledge of the abuse does not constitute discovery of
the injury or the causal relationship between any later-discovered
injury and the abuse." ILCS § 5/13-202.2(b)

IIRC, the Pope is infallible when speaking in his capacity as pope (ex cathedra), addressed to Catholics worldwide, about a matter of faith and morals.
And let's face it, global warming is faith based science.

Their interpretation is "faith of a mustard seed".
The mustard seed is tiny and has faith that God will grow it into a mustard plant.
If you have the faith of a mustard seed then you know that God uses the people you rail against for your betterment. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Ask for righteousness and it is given. Seek righteousness and you will see it. Be the righteousness seed.

Uhhh...no. No women will be pursuing me unless they're stalkers. Had a couple of clergywoman pals with woman in congregations who developed obsessive crushes on them (and no, neither of these clergywomen were gay either) and they had to get restraining orders. So aside from stalkers, no women are going to pursue me because I'm not wealthy, am not going to marry them to allow them to stay in the country and don't have the looks of Melanie Trump .

176 BTW, another thing I enjoyed got ruined for me the other day.
I don't know how many of you have heard of the cartoon The Loud House on Nickelodeon. It's about one boy and his ten sisters of varying ages. It's nicely written and funny - though I didn't care for the SJW trope of making Lincoln's (the protagonist) best friend have two fathers.
Still and all, I watched until the other day when I caught a new episode. It seems that a love note is found addressed to "L," and since all of the kids' names begin with that letter, they think it's meant for them. It isn't, of course, it's from the mother to the father (whose name is Lynn).
But because of the mixup, all of the kids decide to grab the bull by the horn and send love notes to their own special someone. One of the girls decides to drop a note in the locker of her friend "Sam". . .
Who turns out to be "Samantha."
And this is supposed to be a grade-school children's cartoon. So much for that. Program now "off" permanently for me.Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at July 19, 2017 08:20 AM (X6fMO)

Not exactly. Sikhism was a rejection of both Hinduism and Islam at the same time. Their founding guru decided he liked the "one God" idea, but the other ideas were a bunch of nonsense, and basically came up with his own monotheist religion.

I call BS - and we will never know why she tried to cross the tracks in front of an oncoming train; was it that she was distracted by talking on her cell while driving, texting, checking Bookface, trying to separate the kids as they were arguing... we will never know and she'll never say.

267 For a while when I was a kid, my mom worked at a dairy farm in rural Ohio. She used to bring home milk from there every day. I never was a milk drinker, but dang...that was some awesome milk that came from that farm. Almost like drinking cream, but with a milk consistency. Nothing like what you get at the supermarket.
Posted by: Lady in Black - Death to the Man Bun at July 19, 2017 08:37 AM (mQ0Mc)
I don't remember how I found this place, but I loved them because their 2% milk was as creamy and tasty as the full strength. Then, a while back, I caught a link from Insty about the myth of 2% being healthier than regular, and so switched to the regular.
There's nothing like a long swig from an ice-cold bottle (did I mention they sell their milk in bottles?).

282 What is it that has made our society seemingly incapable of self-defense?
My first inkling of the severity of the problem dealt with the way "terrorists" were defined and handled. When I was in the .mil, we learned what soldiers were required to do in order not to be shot as spies, or enemy combatants. There are laws of war, as it were.
An important one, is that one wears a recognizeable uniform. And carries a weapon openly. Has an identifiable rank structure, is part of a military unit, has an ID card etc. These are part of the Geneva Convention or the Hague, I expect. The point here - is folks who run around blowing stuff up - are not signatories to these conventions, and are by definition unlawful enemy combatants.
I knew we were fucked as a country, when none of this was acknowledged, and the media kept talking about trials in court. As if acts of war were simply criminal matters. Think about how many thousands of foreign fighters - and that's what they are - are sprinkled around.
Consider all of the data breaches, purposeful or not, and the level of coordination that these people are afforded, and the possibilities for mischief are truly frightening.

This of course assumes the voters of their states will punish them for their vote. If you think the voters of Maine and Alaska are going to punish Collins and Murkowski for not supporting repeal I've got some bad news for you.

285 There was a tall attractive youngish woman who sounded Polish or Russian talking our order at the breakfast place.She was wearing a plastic rainbow bracelet which said "Gay Pride". I still don't get it.
If gay is innate, why are you proud of it?. I'm not proud of being straight (I was born that way) and to me one's sexual orientation seems something odd to be proud of. I'm sure there are plenty of things the woman could be proud of other than that. If this is intended as a response to people she perceives as homophobic, well it's probably not convincing them. I'm not trying to start a big debate on the issue of being gay (as i've said numerous times I hope I take people as who they are as people. There are straight people I like and straight people I don't. The same is true of gay people) I am not on board with performing marriages for gay people in the church although I have had very nice gay members couples in the church which I have served. However, if I asked this woman what was the meaning of her bracelet-she probably wouldn't take that well. It's really none of my business to ask the waitress that and I didn't.Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 19, 2017 08:50 AM (iVOAv)

311 On Monday a 17-year-old Spokane County, Washington, girl called her father and asked permission to grab a gun before using the firearm to fend off a robbery suspect.
The incident began when a police chase ended with a stolen car around Wandermere at 5 a.m.
After deputies set up a perimeter to look for the suspect, KHQ used their morning news show to alert locals that the suspect was on the loose. Shortly after the news broke, Kimber Woods boyfriend and parents left for work, leaving her in the home alone. Her boyfriend then came across the deputies, asked them about the search, and decided to call Kimber and alert her that the suspect might be coming right at her.
Kimber responded by calling her dad and asking if she could grab one of his guns for protection. Her father answered in the affirmative and Kimber grabbed a handgun and placed it under her pillow. She fell asleep and awoke to the sounds of someone in her house.
She hid behind her vanity, only to have the suspect walk right up to her. Kimber pointed the gun at the suspect and said, Who are you? She added, Get the (expletive) out of my house!
Kimber said the suspects eyes got really wide and he took off running. She said he stole her boyfriends ATV to escape.

324 I just came to a terrible realization.
I always found it funny that every time some major legislation is about to go for a vote, we suddenly get a slew of polls that show just how dang popular the democratic party is, even as they hold historic lows in elected offices.
I mean Donald Trump, and virtually every other Republican, got elected RUNNING full steam on Obamacare repeal just last November. They didn't moderate, or try to hide their positions from the public. They were for complete and total repeal. They said so in their campaigns. They said so in their debates. They said so in interviews. Every person who voted for Republicans understood this. It was the defining issue that gave the GOP control of all three branches of federal government, plus total domination in state legislatures. Promise to repeal Obamacare gave the party their most successful electoral success possibly in history.
And now, all of a sudden, just months after winning elections in a landslide running on repeal, we get bombarded with polls that say Americans just LOVE obamacare now! Suddenly, within months, a law that polled for 7 years straight at 30% now suddenly jumps to +50%.
Suddenly, a democratic party holding its lowest levels of offices since Reconstruction, a party that <b><i>can't win elections</i></b>, suddenly has a 12-15 point advantage on the congressional ballot.
Yeah, sure. Whatever.
Anyway, my terrible realization is not that the media extorts the truth and conducts push polling to influence public opinion rather than reflect it. That's kind of obvious.
No, the sad truth is that the media gets its power not by influencing the public, who has grown far to wise to believe their nonsense, but by successfully influencing the GOP establishment, who treats the media as gospels of truth. An establishment that operates on the singular purpose of trying to stay in the media's good graces, in the hopes of not provoking their wrath. An establishment stuck in an eternal state of fear of the media and their narratives.
The GOPe still believes that the media can crush anyone who opposes their narratives, and so like trained dogs hold their bark for their masters. Unlike Trump, they simply refuse to fight back.Posted by: JC at July 19, 2017 09:11 AM (3GSgE)

334 I read somewhere in London, back a hundred years ago, they had mail deliveries five (5) times a day. Guys at work would write home asking what are we having for lunch. I think the US had twice a day delivery for quite a while. My dad said most everybody worked on Saturdays back in the day. The five day workweek is a relatively recent deal.Posted by: Common Tater at July 19, 2017 09:19 AM (BifcO)

345 Remember back when Harry Potter was bringing so many kids into reading, and how it was going to instill a lifelong love of learning and imagination and revive literature because those kids were going to grow up and write?
Oh, right, looks like it was just another craze like Tamagotchi, was the only book most ever read for fun, and fostered only a love for magical thinking and a Fiction Woobie.

350 So - these leftards in the MSM are really entering new levels of mental retardation -
Top Trump story today " Trump had undisclosed Meeting with Putin, alone at G20"
White House response - "This is a lie. The President was at a scheduled, publicly known, dinner with all leaders at G20, which the press knew of and was invited to cover. While there Trump exchanged pleasantries with Putin as he did with all other leaders present, and this was in full view of the press and others at the dinner."
Follow up leftard MFM response:
"Trump confirms undisclosed meeting with Putin at G20"
