Sunday Overnight Open Thread (9/17/17)
As you move through life, set aside good ideas and give them to others to encourage and inspire. Peter J. DanielsQuote II
Culture is to make a nice drinking bowl from one's enemy's skull. Civilization is to go to prison for that. AnonymousQuote III
The point at which life becomes 'worthless,' and the point at which the means necessary to preserve it become 'extraordinary' or 'inappropriate,' are neither set forth in the Constitution nor known to the nine Justices of this Court any better than they are known to nine people picked at random from the Kansas City telephone directory...[therefore] even when it is demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that a patient no longer wishes certain measures to be taken to preserve her life, it is up to the citizens of Missouri to decide, through their elected representatives, whether that wish will be honored. Antonin Scalia Cruzan v. Missouri Department of HealthQuote IV
Disobedience, in the eyes of any one who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion. Oscar Wilde
There has to be a better place to watch a football game than this place? BWW mutes National Anthem.
In California, an employee at a Buffalo Wild Wings muted the national anthem playing before a Monday Night NFL game despite protests from the customers. He blamed “company policy” on during down the anthem, because it was too controversial.
Kids will be kids. Victory for free speech on a college campus.
WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 14, 2017 — Administrators at Wichita State University have reversed course after launching a Title IX investigation into a fraternity for hanging a banner outside their fraternity house that read “New Members Free House Tours!” An administrator initially justified the investigation, saying, “I think we’re all a little more sensitive because of the statements Molly DeVos made” about Title IX enforcement the previous week.Offensive? Good Lord.
A Nevada high school football game turned into a chaotic scene as two teams broke into a brawl that had to be stopped with police and pepper spray. Tensions were already high at the Basic High School homecoming game Friday hosting Canyon Springs, when the heated game turned into a near riot, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.As an official I've never seen anything close to this. Plenty of blame to go around, coaches, parents, players and maybe even the officials.
“We apologize to everyone affected,” Smith wrote in an op-ed posted to USA Today’s website Sept. 12. “This is the most humbling moment in our 118-year history.”NO SHIT.
Equifax Inc. said two of its senior executives are leaving as the credit-reporting company faces mounting public anger for losing data on 143 million Americans in one of the biggest cyberattacks in history.The ONT wonders what the size of their golden parachutes are?
“Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!” Trump tweeted.
“When Sarah Huckabee Sanders called for Jemele Hill to be fired by ESPN, she crossed the line and put herself in dubious legal territory,” Jon Cooper, Chairman of the Democratic Coalition, said in a statement. “Even in Donald Trump’s America, there’s still such a thing as freedom of speech. For Sanders to publicly call for the dismissal of a Trump critic is bizarre and disturbing, to say the least. If anyone is to be fired, it should be her.”Since I'm not employed by the WH may I say, Piss off Jon Cooper?
This bill would also add to the list of misdemeanors, the conviction for which is subject to the prohibition on possessing a firearm within 10 years of the conviction, the above-referenced interference with the exercise of civil rights, as specified. Because a violation of this provision would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. So, a Californian convicted of a misdemeanor “hate crime” stands to lose their guns and gun rights for 10 years. What could possibly go wrong?Nothing?
ESPN has indeed lost nearly 13 million subscribers in the last six years, from its peak of 100.12 million in 2011 to 87.22 million in the most recent estimates, according to Nielsen (continued below). While that is not good, it is not as bad as it sounds. Those are simply people who subscribe to cable and satellite services that have ESPN and does not distinguish whether or not those people were actually watching ESPN. In fact, it appears that most were not regular ESPN viewers.
Smoking? Bad for you! Second hand smoke? Bad for you! Third hand smoke? C'mon Bull shit!!!
Links between disease and tobacco have been clear for half a century now, while the harmful effects of second-hand 'passive' smoking have been studied since the mid-1980s. Now we have reason to suspect that the residue left behind by the aerosols from cigarettes on clothing and furniture can continue to affect our health, making third-hand smoke a health risk we need to start paying attention to.
September 17, 1923, Born on this day in Mount Olive, Alabama, was Hank Williams (born Hiram King Williams). The American singer-songwriter and musician is regarded as one of the most important country music artists of all time. Williams recorded 35 singles (five released posthumously) that would place in the Top 10 of the Billboard Country & Western Best Sellers chart, including 11 that ranked No.1. During his last years Williams's consumption of alcohol, morphine and painkillers severely compromised his professional life. Williams died aged 29 on January 1, 1953. via thisdayinmusic.com
The first study, led by Dr. Bradley Herrin, a pediatrician at the Yale School of Medicine, concluded that the age a child is injured by a gun is closely related to where they live — specifically, in an urban or rural area. A summary of the study, "Hospitalizations for Firearm Injuries in Children and Adolescents in the U.S.: Rural Versus Urban," will be presented Monday, Sept. 18, at the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibition in Chicago. Using statistics compiled by the Kids' Inpatient Database, which contains information on hospital stays for those younger than 21, researchers found older teens (those between 15 and 19) living in urban areas were the ones most likely to be hospitalized for gun injuries, but among younger children (ages 5 to 14) the rate of hospitalization was higher in rural areas.

Yes, but they were still paying ESPN.
And now they aren't.
If paying for something they have no interest in leads those people to cancel cable, ESPN loses the vig, and the cable company loses the subscriber. ESPN is therefore a liability to the carrier.

And I love that in decrying Sarah Huckabee Sanders speaking freely, Cooper says that "even in Donald Trump's America, there's still such a thing as freedom of speech." He forgot to add "except for Sarah Huckabee Sanders."

Newman and (I hate to say it) Zevon were sparse and hit-and-miss. Zevon, though brilliant, wasted whole songs that sure seemed like they'd be great when you read the song list on the back of the record jacket.
"Something Bad Happened to a Clown"
"Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse"
"Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead"
You went, "Oh, this'll be great!" ...And then four minutes later, you find that nothing happened. Sort of like a dud firework where you light it stand back... and the grin slowly fades from your face.
Al, Fish, and Ian never let me down. Always brilliant.

The same can be said of cigarette smoke. As you breathe the smoke from another's cigarette, you exhale it into the ether to be breathed in by another person or a bird or a flower, which will be exhaled again and inhaled anew. So yes, there is third-hand smoke, and this becomes fourth-hand smoke, and so on to infinity.
In his final breath, Buddha said that all created things must end. This is because everything that each living thing eats, drinks and breathes is cigarette smoke.

Grant had the nddle name Hiram, but the Congressman who appointed him to West Point forgot his middle name, & wrongly assumed that Grant's middle name was his mother' naiden nane-- "Simpson"
So, Grant was re-christened by... his congressman.

"Man proposes and God disposes." There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice.
Although frequently urged by friends to write my memoirs I had determined never to do so, nor to write anything for publication. At the age of nearly sixty-two I received an injury from a fall, which confined me closely to the house while it did not apparently affect my general health. This made study a pleasant pastime. Shortly after, the rascality of a business partner developed itself by the announcement of a failure. This was followed soon after by universal depression of all securities, which seemed to threaten the extinction of a good part of the income still retained, and for which I am indebted to the kindly act of friends. At this juncture the editor of the Century Magazine asked me to write a few articles for him. I consented for the money it gave me; for at that moment I was living upon borrowed money. The work I found congenial, and I determined to continue it. The event is an important one for me, for good or evil; I hope for the former.
In preparing these volumes for the public, I have entered upon the task with the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to any one, whether on the National or Confederate side, other than the unavoidable injustice of not making mention often where special mention is due. There must be many errors of omission in this work, because the subject is too large to be treated of in two volumes in such way as to do justice to all the officers and men engaged. There were thousands of instances, during the rebellion, of individual, company, regimental and brigade deeds of heroism which deserve special mention and are not here alluded to. The troops engaged in them will have to look to the detailed reports of their individual commanders for the full history of those deeds.
The first volume, as well as a portion of the second, was written before I had reason to suppose I was in a critical condition of health. Later I was reduced almost to the point of death, and it became impossible for me to attend to anything for weeks. I have, however, somewhat regained my strength, and am able, often, to devote as many hours a day as a person should devote to such work. I would have more hope of satisfying the expectation of the public if I could have allowed myself more time. I have used my best efforts, with the aid of my eldest son, F. D. Grant, assisted by his brothers, to verify from the records every statement of fact given. The comments are my own, and show how I saw the matters treated of whether others saw them in the same light or not.
With these remarks I present these volumes to the public, asking no favor but hoping they will meet the approval of the reader.
--Awesome.

Did we drink from the Nazi skull? Kilroy was here .. yes we kinda did. Fuck em if they can't take a joke.
Civilization -- an attempt to control group immorality, with even more authority for the "state" but in a divided sense, to protect individual rights. The USA is indeed exceptional in trying to divide/constrain such (necessary?) state power, with expressed intent to safeguard the individual liberty.
But the left will have none of that ... the individual must SUBMIT, as in Orwell novels or Islamist reality, or commie/leftist reality. The enemy of liberty must be destroyed ... success in war means destruction of enemies that would enslave.

My
bank informed me that I need to check with Equijerk. So go to their
page and enter the information they required. Their answer did not fill
me with any confidence. None at all.
Their answer?
"We believe your information was not compromised."
Believed? Wait a minute when did this become Catechism class? I want proof you overpaid undercapable imbeciles...
---
I have a theory Anna.
All of this data was stolen starting in May. They found out in late July.
So in theory, some of the info has been out for four months. If your ID was stolen, I think it would have been done already, and you would know.
But... as far as I can tell, there is no outcry of 20 or 30 million (which is a small percentage of 143 million) saying their IDs were stolen.
Why?
I suspect it was not your typical cyber criminals. I think it was political--Russia, Norks, China, others-- which is why the IDs don't seem to be on the market yet. They're either doing Something Else with the information or simply holding it for future use.

In the early 90s I worked for the burglar alarm company that had the account for his home in Fresno (I started working for them a few years after he passed away). All the techs and security guys used to love responding to calls for service at his place, because he'd love to tell stories about the Flying Tigers, China and the War, and gab away with them. Got to the point where company management had to issue a memo telling them to stop wasting time at Pappy's place, to just get in, do the work and get out.
His widow still lived in the same house when I started working for them doing dispatch. She was ALMOST as bad.
But it was more "have some cookies and milk, would you like some lemonade?" Some of the service guys suspected that she got a kick out of annoying the alarm company management by getting them to malinger.Posted by: IllTemperedCur at September 17, 2017 10:55 PM (iFZVz)

Why in their hotel, they'd constantly see fathers and grandfathers escorting their young daughters and granddaughters to their rooms at night.

Yes, his memoirs are very well written. Easy to read, and by that I do not mean simple or childish.
There was a rumor for years after Grant died that Samuel Clemens ghost-wrote his memoirs (or possibly re-wrote them). Grant was dying from cancer when he finished, and his family was broke. In fact, he was holding on to finish, and died just after they were done. Publishing his memoirs sort of restored his family to reasonable means.

"In sum, we hold that the District's ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home.
We are aware of the problem of handgun violence in this country. and we take seriously the concerns raised by the many amici who believe that prohibition of handgun ownership is a solution. The Constitution leaves the District of Columbia a variety of tools for combating that problem, including some measures regulating handguns. But tthe enshrinement of constitutional rights necessarily takes certain policy choices off the table. These include the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home. Undoubtedly some think that the Second Amendment is outmoded in a society where our standing army is the pride of our Nation, where well-trained police forces provide personal security, and where gun violence is a serious problem. That is perhaps debatable, but what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.".......
Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas: "Insofar as a claimed legal right to release into this country is concerned, an alien under final order of removal stands on an equal footing with an inadmissible alien at the threshold of entry: He has no such right. We are offered no justification why an alien under a valid and final order of removal-- which has totally extinguished whatever right to presence in this country he possessed --has any greater due process right to be released into the country than an alien at the border seeking entry.".......
"Our manner of interpreting the Constitution is to begin with the text, and to give that text the meaning that it bore when it was adopted by the people ... This is such a minority position in modern academia and in modern legal circles that on occasion I'm asked when I've given a talk like this a question from the back of the room--'Justice Scalia, when did you first become an originalist?'--as though it is some kind of weird affliction that seizes some people--
'When did you first start eating human flesh?'"

A few years ago a guy walked into a place I volunteer and asked if we were interested in artifact donations. "Depends". He takes out black/white photos - his father and Boyington, at El Toro, during the war. And an original Black Sheep squadron patch (they were generally hand-sewn back then), with a few stains on it. And a special black silk scarf, with little images of sheep on it - a gift from Pappy at a reunion. Guy said his dad was Boyington's favorite mechanic. So I called the curator, told him what just walked in, and he about fainted.
"Uh, yeah, we'll take that stuff". (!!!)

Las Vegas is one of those places that either is a blast or totally turns your stomach. I was there ONCE, on a business trip, and the company we were visiting had a big dinner shindig at New York, New York. A lot of fun, since they paid for it.

Most of 'em, if I recall correctly, are in the 20,000 volt range.
And the do emit a rather pronounced electromagnetic field in their immediate area.
But the Inverse Square Law applies here, so that field drops off very, very rapidly, with just a little distance.
Also from recall. Most municipal overhead (or buried) power runs at 440 volts, and is only stepped-down to 111/120 volts, at the transformer you see on the pole near your house, or that ugly green electrical box in your backyard.

That was the whole purpose of adopting AC instead of DC. DC was, early on, very dangerous and difficult to transmit over wires for a distance.
Power coming into commercial businesses is usually 440 volts.
Big commercial HVAC units run at that voltage, as do heavy electric motors.
Voltage coming into your house is usually 220/ 100 amp service, so you can run an electric clothes dryer (which is at 220 volts) or an electric kitchen oven (which also runs at 220).

Those enormous cross-country carrier transfer lines. Monsterous voltages. As well as the giant step-up transformers installed at regular intervals along the line.
That's one thing that pisses me off about things like West Texas wind tower farms. The transmission losses in getting the juice from West Texas to wherever. I don't know the numbers, but I'm certain it's a significant percentage of the generated power that simply diminishes steadily while en-route at lightspeed to it's destination.

Standard US single phase residential supply is 120/240V 3-wire, from a center-tapped transformer. Center tap is "neutral" which is grounded. Each side is thus 120V to ground, 180 degrees out of phase, and thus 240V hot-to-hot.
Now, with three-phase systems there are variety of utilization voltages. 208Y/120V. 240V-deltas, and 480Y/277V and 480V-deltas, plus some oddballs.
See wye and delta 3-phase if you interested in the basic connections and stuff.

I will pass on a tip. If you like a good cigar, it would be hard to do better than to pay a visit to the Arturo Fuente store, in the Caesar's Forum Shops, closer to the Strip entrance than to the casino. They have rare Fuente cigars (and Fuente is the best, excluding commie origins), and you can sit by a fountain and enjoy one, accompanied by the best Mojito I've ever tasted.

Power coming into commercial businesses is usually 440 volts.
Big commercial HVAC units run at that voltage, as do heavy electric motors.
Voltage coming into your house is usually 220/ 100 amp service, so you can run an electric clothes dryer (which is at 220 volts) or an electric kitchen oven (which also runs at 220).

DC transmission is actually less "lossy" than AC transmission, and there are now quite a few long-haul DC transmission lines. They just built one a few years ago from central Alberta to pints south in the USA.
It's great for point-to-point bulk transfer of power. Not good at all for "trunk" lines with multiple take-offs.

Heh. A while back I added a third switch to an existing two-way switched ceiling lamp. It took some figuring.

It's the magic of high power solid state components that have made DC power transmission possible. See the Pacific Intertie Line, 3.1GW capacity at 1MV hot-to-hot, 500kV hot to ground. It's 846 miles long. The conductors are about 1.6" diameter.
At one time, they'd used these giant mercury thyratrons for rectifying/inversion. It's all giant solid-state shit, now, IIRC.
The trouble is still switching/interrupting. They still don't have a reliable (or cost effective) breaker than can break a DC current at the voltage without destroying itself yet.
The breaking is all done on the AC side.

One of my SIL's BIL has colon cancer, and he says he has seen a ton of progress following a diet/lifestyle protocol on a website called chrisbeatcancer.
I have not checked it out, don't know anything about it other than he eats a lot of fruits and veg, and quit eating meat and sugar and white flour.
But he says per CT scan results he got back today, his tumors have shrunk in the last three months, and that his metastasis has "disappeared" . Without chemo or radiation or anything. (I believe he is Stage 3, but not sure. )
I know it sounds crackpotty, but he's not the kind of guy who lies, and what the hell have you got to lose to research it? If nothing else all the veg would keep your nutritional values up during chemo if just did that part of the diet.

Generally called a 4-way. It's not really a proper DPDT. Double pole, double throw. Where the throws would be independent. It's a crossing switch. Imagine two parallel lines, representing wires. Now put a switch there than crosses them, and goes back straight. That's a 4-way. Note you can make one out of a proper DPDT by jumping the throws correctly.
So, in a multi-switched setup, you have 3-ways, SPDTs on each end, with a many 4-ways in between as you want.

Meat is good for part of one's body, fat being good for the brain (fish fats especially); but I've consistently heard that meat in excess can contribute to colon cancer.
Also it's just plain harder to pass meat than to pass veggies and fiber. And if there's a blockage there, then, well, you gotta eat what's easier.
I'm sure (or, at least, I hope) his doctor is saying similar things.

Reading about the plot, it is the most allegory allegory I ever heard of. Jennifer Lawrence apparently plays Gaia or something, and every character seems to be equally abstract.
J.R.R. Tolkien said, in an intro somewhere, that he "cordially dislikes allegory in all of its forms." Not sure whether I share that opinion or not, but in this extreme case, no question.

Drove it up to shop, backed it in so I could work on trailer connector, and shut down. Sprayed DeOxit on trailer connector and on harness plug for glow plug controller. Drilled hole in rear bumper, and cut slot with torch to pass wires through, so that I could properly mount trailer receptacle in bumper. Done. Truck started fine, so I decided to drive it to steak house in next town for supper.
Going down the grid road, I realized I still had the electric booster fuel pump turned on with the toggle switch on the dash. Switched it off. When I made the left turn onto the paved highway at the bottom of the grid road, the engine about lay down and died. Didn't quit outright, but lost all power, and had no throttle response, and was missing a lot. I kicked in the booster pump, and after a few more seconds of missing, it resumed running normally. Shut off the booster pump, and made the left onto the next grid road going north. Same thing happened; engine lost power, but didn't outright quit. Kicked in the booster pump, and once more, off like a rocket. Circled back to my home corner. Should I go back home and park it, or drive on to the steak house? Decided to drive on, leaving the booster pump on. Cycled it off once more on the way, same thing happened. Conclusion? There is a leak in the fuel line between the rear-mounted booster pump and the mechanical lift pump on the engine block. With the booster pump off, the mechanical pump draws in air at the leak, and sends aerated fuel to the injection pump, and injectors start shutting down.
Had a real nice BBQ prime rib at the steak house, drove home, no problems, and I parked by the shop again. It shouldn't be too hard to find the leak in the fuel line; there will be a wet spot. I have both hard line and flex hose on hand, so that will get fixed.

The BigBox stores usually carry 4-ways, although they get expensive. Take a gander at the Leviton catalog to see what all they make in the "wall switch" style line.
I remember a Lowe's around here actually carried a DPST wall switch, and someone bought that instead of a real 4-way, and had to get me to find out what was wrong.
Note a DPST is just a two single poles switch that operate together. Why Lowe's carried that, I don't know. It's sometimes used in commerical situations were you want one switch to control two circuits worth of lights. Beyond that, it's lightning contactor time.

If you want to get your switching freak on, there's a number of ways to wire the 3/4-way combos, depending on the geometry (like how many joists and studs you have to bore through, and the trade off between boring and wire).
Now, imagine you want a light switched in 3 places. 3 wall switch boxes. That'll be a 3-way on each end, with a 4-way in the middle.
Now, you can wire that in any way you like. Say you're feeding at the box. You can feed at any switch box you like, and pull the leg off from any of three boxes as well.
If you're feeding at the light box itself, you can pull the loop down to any box in that chain.
The three boxes will be strung together with 3-conductor cable, and the leg or loop will be 2 conductor coming out of the chosen box.
Many of the diagrams you see drawn will show you only one combination of the many possible.

Many appliances and power tools use DPST switches, and break both hot and neutral, leaving the safety ground connected. I expect this is for safety's sake, as the tool manufacturer has no way of knowing if the tool is going to be plugged into a mis-wired receptacle or extension cord.

You know, I haven't seen that. But I haven't torn any really new power tool apart. Is this Canadian tools and stuff?
There's a "double insulated" standard that allows power tools to still be two-prong, and I wonder if they changed to double pole switching, or if that is just some Canadian requirement.

Just to be an a-hole for one moment. Lewis is usually a rigorous thinker, but in this case I think that he having a fondness for literature (that being his passion), was just trying to think of a way to "redeem" pagan literature. Obviously he was not a universalist, but he liked to think there was some sort of "inspiration" in the best pagan literature.

More dangerously, some electric ranges and ovens only open one leg of the 220/240 to shut it OFF. What can then happen (and I know, because it has happened to me) is a short can develop between the heating element core and the neutral-tied outer core, and it can't be turned OFF.
In my case, it established an arc in the center of the element and began burning it's way back into the innards of the oven. Imagine my dismay when I hastily switched the oven off, and it kept on burning along like a little plasma cutter. A not-so-quick trip to the basement ensued, as the panel is a fur piece from the kitchen.

Low current arcing faults have always been a problem. That was the motivation for the arc fault breakers.
There is an NEC requirement that limits heating elements to a 60A overcurrent device. And that includes internals. For example, if you got some big thing that has more than 60A of heating elements, you must put internal protection inside to limit it to no more than 60A circuit size (which is 48A continuous, per the rules).
There's all another one, I forget, about huge services (you know, big industrial 1000A+ services). They require ground fault protection.
And I don't mean little ground fault (known as class A) which are the shock-protecting kind, I mean big ass GF protection.
With big ass 1000A services, you can have honking huge arcing ground faults like are going like arc welders, but don't pull enough current to trip the main breaker, or won't do it fast enough.
So, a GF protection that limits the current to some number, I forget which, is required.

--------------------
Internally, there has never been such a requirement. Now externally, there is such NEC requirements. I forget the details, and I'd to read.
But basically, if you got some 240V (or whatever, that is hot to hot, or multi-phase) you've got to switch all hot conductors.
But there are exceptions. The "disconnect", the thing that is supposed to de-energize all equipment, must break all hots. And sometimes, a plug counts as the disconnect.
But for control purposes, it is sometimes allowed to just switch what is needed. For example with a three-phase 3-wire device, you just need to switch 2 wires (in general, if N wire supply, N - 1 switches).
Again, the rules get convoluted.

And Europe is trying to cover up these attacks any way they can. They have used mental illness excuse before.

Posted by: Gumdrop Gorilla at September 18, 2017 01:41 AM (FJqd3)
If you want a simple, DC battery, analogy, consider this.
Take two 12V batteries and put 'em in series. Now, bring the center out. You've got a 3-wire, 12/24V supply. The top is +12V to the middle, and the bottom is -12V to the middle. Top to bottom is 24V.
Now, "ground" the center. With AC, the + and - are now a matter of phase. And (-) means 180 degrees of out phase with the "+".
The notion of "neutral" is that all voltages to/from it, some to zero. Hence "neutral". And that is the logical thing to ground, when you have one.

Posted by: junior
She may be mentally ill, but still, doesn't the fact that she was attacked with acid give credence to the belief that she came out of a Muslim no-go hellhole?
My theory is that she was attacked, and rightly resented it. But her Islamism is too closely attached to her identity for her to reject it (like Ayaan Hirsi Ali), so what does she do with all this resentment and hate? She sees these 4 complacent, happy, carefree Western women and thinks "why should I be the only one that suffers? Why are these people getting away with breaking the rules and enjoying themselves? They should be punished for disobeying the Prophet!"
Unable to reject her background, she projects her hatred on those who are free of it, out of envy, and rationalizes it by doubling down and saying "I've suffered like this, and so should you have".
And that's my belief, until the French release some more information about her. Yeah, sure it's just a lot of armchair speculation on my part, but that's what the left wants us to do, isn't it?

Posted by: GnuBreed at September 18, 2017 02:03 AM (0ogQG)
I get that her identity is fused with her belief system, I don't doubt that. However, there have women who have been attacked & scarred by acid who have not gone out & visited the same horror on other women, in the US of course.
The reason for what she did does not absolve her of her responsibility for it. It does not excuse it. But I place more weight on the ideology of Islam. That white women are whores & infidels. If she was brought up in the Christian faith, I do not believe she would have done this. Nor would she if other Muslims weren't egging her on. Same with Buddhism..that does not teach throwing acid is okay. Islam does.
It's taken many years & study to get me to this place, but I am cynical and now believe they will cover it up. Mental illness is a nice catch all term. So I don't take issue with what you say about her life.
But I do take issue that one must be mentally ill to throw the acid. And yes, I believe the govt. will cover up any Islamic connections.

I agree. I do not think this should be classified as a 'mental illness' which I think should be reserved for schizophrenia, hallucinations, etc. If someone is just perpetually angry and violent and lacks self control, because of their ideology, they should not get a pass. Everything released so far indicates she is just angry and hate filled, not "mentally ill" in the way I've described. Therefore, she should be accountable. Again, France needs to release more details.

Over the past years, France has been hit by a series of attacks by individuals suffering from mental disorders as well as extremist acts of violence, claimed by Takfiri terror groups based in the Middle East.
Last month, a woman was killed in Marseille when a driver deliberately rammed into two bus stops. Local officials, however, said the incident was not related to terrorism.

Also, as we were making our way in through the crowd there was a five foot sidewalk. I was navigating with my children behind me as what appeared to be a large family of three generations of black people coming the other way. We were single file on the side, as expected, but they were all spread across and making it clear from their facial expressions they were not happy to have to move for me. You might think that it was one of the young bucks who gave me that look but they were too busy zombiewalking with their phones in their faces. It was actually a man who looked to be at least 60 who seemed indignant that I did not get off the sidewalk. No words were exchanged, no physical contact, but there it was.

Yeah, he was mentioned way above. But not knowing about booze? I'm not certain, but I think around here that's a banning offense.

When I start the day on ONT I usually look at the last 10 or so comments to see what it's talking about, so I missed out on the Maxim conversation

Just swimmingly.
Once again, I failed to select for the opening for the new Village Idiot.
Pretty strong list of applicants.
Most with far better qualifications that I to be called Baltimore's Village Idiot.

I should have asked about what the drumbeats on the local net are carping about. You have such interesting neighbors.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 18, 2017 06:36 AM (hyuyC)
Just to be considered was an honor.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at September 18, 2017 06:38 AM (hyuyC)
As well as the constant drum beats of Social Justice.
And shit.

Best thing about not having erected a TV antenna yet ?

The third year his wife found out about the catalog. The new au pair was competent and absolutely no beauty.

Smart wife...
Can't blame her one bit.

Where do i send the bill?

You are correct. Fortunately, there are a number of shops and ranges here in TX to assist in the therapy, and Hoppe's No. 9 for inhalation medication.
It is so worth it.

Virtue signaling is a growth industry. Must be a way to get some of that revenue stream.
And with that, work preps commence.
May every encounter be a rewarding one, and your fellow drivers considerate.

Sure is !
All you gotta do is stand up for a system of beliefs utterly opposed to what you actually think, all day, every day.
A snap, right ?
Not as /sarc as it sounds, really.
I've considered it, but my stomach isn't that strong.
Hard enough to keep my flap buttoned and take the money of people I know would hate me if they knew who / what I am.
