BTW, the Washington Post polls recently had the GOP margin cut from 13 to 6% in a month....and the president's approval rating is now 50%...

Supposedly a military test (given as an answer).

But wouldn't be kinda stupid to test military aircraft too close to a commercial airport?...ya think? I don't buy that explanation.

Sorry, been hearing that for so long...not sure if it will happen anytime soon. The problem is that so many humans are religious and would freak out. Not sure people could handle the truth.

We'll see...maybe.

During the Cold War (sometime in the early 80's of it) UFOs blasted the caps off of two nuclear missle silos, one in the US and one in the USSR....on the same day. Maybe they will stop us from totally ruining this planet...one would hope...or maybe they are just preserving their food..lol.

Something reminded me of this: atheist and agnostics tend to be smarter as well...heh...I wonder why that is? Hummmm.

"According to this article by Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, the smarter a person is, the less likely they are to believe in a god"

Makes perfect sense!

NEWS! Hell, we'll even quote through POX on this one...kinda strange to see actual investigative journalism...IMPRESSED...lol.

Witnesses in Defense Dept. Report Suggest Cover-Up of 9-11 Findings

"A document obtained and witnesses interviewed by Fox News raise new questions over whether there was an effort by the Defense Department to cover up a pre-9/11 military intelligence program known as “Able Danger.”

At least five witnesses questioned by the Defense Department’s Inspector General told Fox News that their statements were distorted by investigators in the final IG’s report — or it left out key information, backing up assertions that lead hijacker Mohammed Atta was identified a year before 9-11."

"The witness told Fox News she was interviewed twice by a Defense Department investigator. She said she told the investigator that it was highly likely a department database included the picture of Atta, whom she knew under an alias, Mohammed el-Sayed.

“When it came to the picture, (the investigator) he was fairly hostile,” the witness told Fox News. She said it seemed the investigator just didn’t want to hear it. “Meaning that he’d ask the same question over and over again, and, you know, you get to the point you go, well, you know… it’s the same question, it’s the same answer.”

The IG report didn’t accurately reflect her statements to investigators, she said, adding that she doesn’t think the investigator simply misunderstood her."

Okay yeah, let his house burn...and I am not the only one pizzed off about this out-sourcing of public safety services.

Just words to defend these ancient religious writs of wroughts. How dare you insult us with these gibberish answers.

What a pile of crap responses. First off it was a man whose house burned...killing 3 of his grandkid's pets. He and a neighbor offered to pay the $75 but the firemen refused. The fire did spread to his neighbors area but the firemen put that one out and drenched the property line...leaving his house to burn.

At least 4 homes in Obion County have burned to the ground because they either could not afford the fee or had missed it in the mail.

The man's son's house was on fire and they came even tho~ he had not paid the fee...they (he and his son) put the fire out before they arrived but the firemen were going to help. It seems selective who they help. What if there was a person trapped in the fire???

People who post w/o a clue are the same. Clueless.

"More than one in four high school students and adults aged 18 to 34 years had at least one episode of binge drinking a month, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Specifically, 2 out of 3 high school students and almost 1 in 3 adults who drink alcohol also binge drink, the CDC said. Binge drinking is a serious health problem no matter how often people engage in the practice according to Dr.Robert Brewer, study author and alcohol prevention expert at the CDC. "Binge drinking at any level is associated with increase harm to health– similar to smoking– any is undesirable," he said.

"90 percent of the alcohol consumed by high school kids is consumed in the course of binge drinking and more than half of the alcohol consumed by adults is consumed in the course of binge drinking," said CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden.

Binge drinking is defined as 4 or more drinks for women and 5 or more for men, consumed quickly over about 2 hours.

"We estimate that at least 15% of U.S. adults or 33 million men and women reported binge drinking one or more times in the past month," Brewer told reporters. The rate has not declined during the past 15 years, according to the report.

More than 80 percent of binge drinkers do not meet the medical criteria for being alcohol dependent, Brewer said, so they may not believe their drinking habits are a health risk. This is why the CDC wants to raise awareness about these health risks, he added.

Excessive alcohol use, including binge drinking, is the third leading cause of preventable death in America, according to the CDC. More than 79,000 lives are cut short by alcohol each year.

People who binge drink put themselves at higher risk for fatal car crashes, drug overdoses, violence and contracting sexually transmitted diseases. The long-term health consequences are just as dire. Drinking in excess can damage the liver and increase the risk of stroke, heart disease and certain cancers. Heavy drinking can also lead to unintended pregnancies; drinking when pregnant is dangerous for the fetus.

Men are twice as likely as women to binge drink– about 21 percent of males compared to 10 percent of females, according to the CDC study. Binge drinking also is more common among whites and Hispanics (about 16 percent each) compared to blacks (10 percent).

The study also found higher rates of binge drinking among those earning more $75,000 a year and those with at least a high school diploma.

The CDC based its findings on self reported data in: The 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (412,000 adults 18 and older) and the 2009 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (16,000 high school students).

"Even though we're reporting quite high rates of binge drinking among adults and youth, I think there is good reason to believe it is significantly underreported," Brewer said."

That's so funny...first the Iraq war was about WMD and the Iraqi's greeting us as liberators...then when they found no WMD it was about Nation Building (something the Dippic said he'd never do (2000 campaign speech)) by "winning their hearts"...yet it ALL turned out to be about oil, no-bid "mercs" (whatever), and of course the MIC.

Liars and the liars who protect them have no souls.

I heard that POX defended the mayor.

This is the "less government" that the GOP/T-Baggers are for...

Ever notice it keeps saying "we are taught"...when is it going to be "we have learned"...some of the most absurd things ever "taught" are in this book...



Mercy

"Blessed are the merciful" [Matthew 5:7]

"Leave alive nothing that breathes. Show them no mercy." [Deut. 7:2]
"The Lord hardened their hearts... that they might receive no mercy." [Joshua 11:20]
"I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord's work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed." [Jer. 13:14; 48:10]"

"And what makes you think Korea and Iran or any other Islamic country "

But as I pointed out all that was just gibberish anyway...and I am sure you'd have come to the defense of a black guy posting here too huh? Riiiiight.
