Not at all. Why do you think America needs a doctor if not for the multiple GSWs?

Well, if Simon would just stop kidnapping princesses he wouldn't have all that trouble.

Not this one, but they DID do one about Russia's independence from the Mongols (who apparently had a dragon)...

Hahahahaha! I have just recovered my breath. Dr. Carson needs to see it. Perhaps he would then withdraw his candidacy.

That's how averages work! You take two viewpoints* and divide them in half like siamese twinbrains, and then something something, profit!

*(one viewpoint from American wingnuts, and the other from Israeli wingnuts)

Poor B en. He is probably pretty smart but outside medical stuff he seems to be way out of his depth. I sued to be flight instructor and teh alst person you wanted to see come in the door was a doctor, dentist, engineer or lawyer. The saying was that Beechcraft made Bonanzas to help keep the population of doctors and engineers under control.

Okay, I'm sure your intentions are good, but please don't bring up that "point." It is used all too often by actual anti-Semites to argue that they aren't anti-Semitic because they don't hate Arabs (except they usually do, just not as much as they hate Jews). The term "anti-Semitism" was coined by an anti-Semite because at the time, discriminating against a religion was bad, but discriminating against a "race" was good. It always meant anti-Jewish.

Heh. Just listened to a story on the radio about a group that is pushing for greater civic engagement and education on policy. To illustrate the ignorance of the average citizen, they asked people if they supported intervening to stop the genocide in Freedonia.

Uhhhh, are you posting that ironically? I hope? The whole "anti-Zionism, not anti-Semitism" thing is horribly tainted by conspiracy theorists, bigots, and a few otherwise well-meaning people who just happen to believe that somehow Israel is the evilest nation on the planet (there is so much competition for that title). Can't we just say "it's not anti-Semitic to be critical of the Israeli government"?

I read 'lectronic books now and I don't get them through Amazon. Instead, I found a bookstore in the town to which I'd like to retire, which has a deal with Kobo Books for ebooks. So when I buy books, I start at the local bookstore and search through them for the ebook so they get a little vig every book I buy.

And I don't feed the sweatshop.
