Plan B Forum

But that’s still better than the alternative of them getting a nuclear weapon. Or is there someone here who would actually argue that Iran should have nukes? Well, being that they have been "just a few weeks away" from getting a nuclear weapon for the last 25 years, I'm not all that concerned. IF t...

She probably reads Vogue and not much else.

No, she just looks at the pictures.

Not sure i see much of a difference in expression; but then most soldiers I know who have been in real battles don't celebrate the victory, although the treasure the end to the fighting.

It's pretty clear she embraces ignorance

Two weeks. Who would have guessed he'd say something like that? Next he will claim victory and say he ended another war. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the FIFA Peace Prize again. Ya think? He's going to land on an aircraft carrier with a Mission Accomplished banner. The man will say anything; ...

And that justifies Israel's bombing (or even bombing of Iran in general) of a synagogue how?

All I can say is that if someone feels a situation is damaging their health, they should try to get out of that situation or find a way to change it. Perhaps, but few can do that; indeed, the worse stress arises when you do not have the choice to either remove oneself or change a situation, so it b...

Indeed Bill; they cannot be charged with most crimes but, as I understand it, they can be detained and given over to the juvenile system for adjudication; this is pretty much the same in most states. Do we really want 11 year olds to be tried as adults--that's pretty much a very young age to just th...

And, if not oil, then other natural resources or even cheap labor. All we need is a dictator who leans our way.

All the best in your recovery Meade.

Grant just snuck around until they-all got tired and hungry.

Don’t you want the price of gasoline to be high? Won’t that magically start the EV revolution? Short answer is yes, I'd like to see the price of gasoline to be about double where it now is. In the last year or so I have driven a few thousand miles in UK and continental Europe, and cars tend to be s...

Just because a bunch of totalitarian jerks have perverted the economic theories of communism to their own ends does not make communism wrong (anymore than the dictators of capitalist societies prove capitalism is a failed system); add to that the US government's efforts to destabilize the more democ...

Perhaps Meade, but from what i have seen of human nature the turn of emotion would not surprise me in the least.

I have to love the first sign posted; pretty much says it all.

I have often thought of Palm Sunday being the saddest day in the christian calendar; a day when jesus road into the city and was halied by the people (as a king or celebrity or something worth celebrating); and yet those same people were screaming for him to be put to death aa few days later. It sho...

Well, if you’re actually a communist, I can’t have much sympathy for you. If you really believe in that ideology, then you’ve supported doing the same things, or worse, to other people a hundred million times over Please; nothing says communist regimes have to be totalitarian dictatorships; certain...

He really wants people to drop the dollar bill and use a dollar coin, I guess. n I wonder what would happen if everyone just wrote over and blacked out his name every time they got a dollar bill. It would be a fitting protest.

As for setting aside the objections of a minority because of not understanding sublety or anything else, I never said that. They are entitled to their views as others are, but in the end a decision must be made to "honor" any given individual or not and one side will have to prevail while the other ...
