My number was 030. I served with CWO2 Koch. She was about 6'-1" and had quite a reputation for "deeds" performed with a .45 cal 1911A1 during her service in Viet Nam. I didn't much care for her as a boss but I'd have happily gone into combat with her. She took no shit and fired at threats rather than ask questions or "try to understand their mindset". Some folks were trained to be therapists, we were trained to kill. That is, after all, the objective of war. |

Speaking of Masons, my father was a 32 degree Mason, a Shriner and a member of the Scottish Rights. He even played Christ during the Easter play. He was the only one with a beard and wasn't fat! He was a very Christian man and told me that if I joined the Masons that I shouldn't make it my religion, that's not what it's about. I new his Masonic friends and had friends of my own that were members and I can guarantee that none of those folks were anything but great people! Go read "Born in Blood". It explains a whole lot about it. |

I... believe, that the claimed antiquity of the masons is a myth. They're not that old or important. And for dead solid certain, historically, only dangerous to tyrants. More recently than Ancient Egypt, During the post European Dark Ages, The Masons have solid historical foundations, and many of the founders of our Nation were Masons. The people who claim the Masons are in league with the Devil, and rule the planet from behind the scenes, are almost universally the most evil tyrants on Earth. The worst of the Popes, Stalin, Hitler, and the lie based theology of the Marxist cults all blame the Masons......and preach hatred for them, even order them murdered en mass, and their property taken for the enrichment of the evil men. There's a near 100% overlap with the groups blaming the Jews for everything. So while I'm not in that Fraternity, I can make a considered judgment, that if people who are the worst mass murderers on the planet and who provably, and historically, liars in all things, tell me the Masons are bad... they are not. I do admit they tend to build things, like charities, hospitals, summer camps, and work to improve the condition of mankind, so if you are a militant Greenie Eco-warrior, you may have reason to dislike anyone who is antithetical to the Green Dream of rigid dictatorial control of a tiny surviving remnant of humanity under the thumb of obscenely rich and powerful sociopaths locked away from nature in Urban gulags of filth, poverty and hardship. Alfa's apparent belief that the people the Nazi's, and Communists, and rapacious Capitalists, hate are evil bewilders me. |

I am certain that parents around the world are proud of their children. But, it's a small mind that attempts to elevate itself by declaring another "dumb". More likely evidence of latent issues. |

I do not subscribe to the Americans are dumb camp, just have a dislike of statistics. 'I'm curious about the person who would say "Americans are dumb". Perhaps the world's best kept secret.' From a different angle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ by_Nobel_laureates_per_capita |

The Nobel prize is a joke these days. Any group that would pass up Irena Sendler and give it to Al Gore has certainly lost their way. Al Gore is not worthy to lick Irena Sendler's shoes! |

From a different angle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ by_Nobel_laureates_per_capita It's good you recognize the statistical fallacy in that example. Unfortunate, you then step right into the statistical BS pile yourself. Trying to rank countries like this where you have sample rates as low as 1 is meaningless. There may be some validity for countries that have far more awards. The US would fall into that category, and ranks well compared to the world as a whole. What does that tell us though? I guess you could argue that the US does well per capita compared to the rest of the world in being awarded Nobel prizes. What does that mean with such a subjective prize though. Remember when Obama was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing. Looking back, considering he is the only US President who served every single day in office with troops in combat... TWICE... Is it really a meaningful award? No doubt it can be in some cases. In other cases, it's clearly an award used to make someone feel good, and little else. Or to possibly try to make someone else look bad. I think in BO's case, it was a bit of both. How often do they make these awards in such a way? I really have no idea. I doubt many people really do. Carry on... |

I too was entertained by the "per capita" slant on the statistics. . . . if you are a country with few resources, poor climate and a wretched economy . . you will certainly have fewer "capitas". But . . . it makes a great example of how society has abandoned striving to improve the collective numerator and instead sought to diminish the denominator. MAKE AMERICA AVERAGE AGAIN . . . just doesn't have much of a ring to it. |

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/05/ho w_to_defuse_the_crisis_with_north_korea.html Most of this I have thought a good idea for years. Worth a consideration. also.... Arguing how dumb Americans are with someone who posts a google search for Trump in a Klan uniform is kinda proving his point. At least Alfau now blames Trump for all the evil in the world, parroting CNN, instead of blaming Americans for all the evil in the world, when it was Obama. ( and he was parroting CNN then, too ) As for the Americans are stupid theme.... we almost elected Hillary for President. If it hadn't been for the Press so obviously lying about how sick and evil she is, she might have won. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/05/wh o_really_torpedoed_hillarys_campaign.html If Hillary had won....Kim would be invited to the White House to get the Freedom Medal, Vladimir would have permission to own North Dakota ( and all the oil ) and the Border Patrol would be putting all the Americans that live along the border in concentration camps for interfering with the Perpetual Democrat Vote flow of differently papered people. And that's the good news. |

Just like the left...can't find a real issue to complain about, so you resort to personal attacks. Mature. Jobs are up. Unemployment is down. Markets are up. Illegal immigration is down between 50%-70% even without a wall. Obamacare is on its way out. Yeah. Lots of problems in the last 100 days. |

Professor lard ass! Alf, That is not nice. Most likely not factual either. Yes, he is a Professor, but I doubt lard was the cause of the obesity. I would (do to his country of residence) postulate that causation is centered around vegetable oils and corn syrup. You really need to come up with better material. As to addressing TOS violations. I'm not so much a stickler on them as I am into treating each other with respect. If I called you out with derogatory names alluding to your psychological damage, it would be indicative to you that I had not an earnest bone in me when it came to my concern for your well being. I would not PM you out of the blue offering reasons why you should not smoke, drink, etc. I will however call you when you are being rude to others in a public place set up to be kid friendly. I urge you to consider the power of the written word prior to hitting the "Post" button. We become what we think on. Out of the core of what we have become issues forth life and death. We can eat lard all day long, but you are more than what you consume through your mouth and digestive tract. You are what you think on. Want to be better? Think on good, honorable, and upright things. |

Anyone happen to catch the Pence interview on Rush yesterday? Transcript here if you're interested: https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2017/05/02/vice -president-pence-calls-the-show/ Some members here have voiced their opinion on Rush. I find his show worthwhile at least 50% of the time. The other half more or less serves as background noise while I'm working. Rush asked Pence about this debacle of a budget deal. Given what this budget is intended to fund (and NOT fund) it seems very understandable that a great deal of Trumps's supporters are scratching their heads and feeling rather disenfranchised. Later in the show, a caller got through and pointed out that maybe we're missing Trump's plan for the long game. Perhaps this deal that, on the surface, seems like total appeasement to the Democrats is merely an act of Trump posturing for moves to be made down the road (the whole "3-D chess" thing I keep hearing about, I suppose). Maybe Fb has some insight here? Beyond the whole "gotta avoid the shut-down" BS. |
