Comment Re:For regulation to work... (Score 1) 367

Texas does in fact allow open carry of long guns. What it doesn't allow is open carry of hand guns.

"This is my rifle, this is my gun, this one*s for fighting, this one's for fun."

I'll need to remember that on m next trip to Texas.

I can claim my right to carry open my "long gun".

However, I think I will get jail time for that.

Submission + - Greece to wire "non-professional inspectors" with audio and video equipment (ft.com) 1

PolygamousRanchKid writes: Greece has proposed recruiting students, housekeepers, and even tourists to serve as undercover tax inspectors, one of a batch of economic reforms intended to unlock €7.2bn in rescue aid.

In a letter to eurozone authorities, the cash-strapped Greek government suggested that Athens could fight widespread evasion of value added tax by wiring “non-professional inspectors” with audio and video equipment to track down lawbreakers.

In addition to students and housekeepers, Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, suggested that “even tourists in popular areas ripe with tax evasion” could be part of the scheme. They could be paid an hourly rate “on a strictly short-term, casual basis” for no more than two months.

But the reaction from eurozone officials to the undercover tourist plan — one said staff laughed out loud when they read the proposal — is the latest evidence of the growing gap between the Greek government and its international bailout lenders, at a time when Athens could be less than two weeks away from running out of cash completely.

“It’s quite hilarious, if it were not so tragic, that this is what a government in an industrialised country comes up with,” said one eurozone official involved in the talks.

Ask the people of Vietnam who won.

Oh, that's easy! The people who won are the ones who emigrated to the US and opened a chain of restaurants named "What the Pho . . . ?"

Slightly off topic, but Pho tastes absolutely delicious. An Asian shop nearby sells soup-base for Pho in jars. One teaspoon of that in boiling water and anything tastes great!

I actually speculated that my own, sweaty tennis shoes, would taste good when cooked in that stuff!

Back on topic, maybe if those ISIS folks sat down, with the rest of their enemies, for a communal meal of PolygamousRanchKid tennis shoes Pho . . . maybe they could hammer out a peace plan . . . ?

They are sociopathic libertarian company devoted to "disruption", which is generally code for "we break the law if it gets in the way of us making money and we think we can get away with it".

The funny thing about that, is that pretty much describes every big company I know.

Speaking as a muslim, I do always condemn them.

*Yawn* . . . but in your next sentence, you will claim that it is all the fault of the liberal western nations.

,I live in North America

Well, do the world a favor . . . and go home! To your Muslim world.

these people are killing muslims in their own countries.

Muslims hate everyone. When they aren't killing innocent foreigners, they are killing each other. They hate everyone. Even themselves. See the Shiite Sunni divide to see what I mean.

There is an an old Arabic saying . . . I fight against my brother . . . but my brother and I fight against other kids in my neighborhood. We fight with kids in our neighborhood against other kids in other neighborhoods. Etc, etc, etc.

Those children that died when Taliban carried an attach on Peshawar school were all muslim's.

See above, to see why Muslims will just kill anyone, just for fun, because it says so in the Koran.

So its idiotic to think that these extremist will listen to me, who lives in Canada, shops in these malls and hell, condemn them every opportunity I get.

Well, you are living in a liberal democracy that is tolerant for everyone. I guess you missed the attacks by Muslim in Ottawa

I have a 9-5 job

So your employer should be charged with aiding and abetting Muslim terrorists.

kids to look after.

Have you fitted your kids with suicide belts yet?

When was the last time you went to a street to protest, I never have, likely won't either. Those who understand this, I appreciate them, those who won't, I don't care.

Which is why we should tell Muslims, like Nazis to go home!

Your basically rubbing shit on them in their eyes, since that's your wiping hand.

Listen, because Muslims don't have the intelligence to use toilet paper is not my problem. That is theirs. Muslim countries are stuck in the Middle Ages.

It's rude in their culture.

Well, sorry for them, but I can't write with my right hand. So your Mohammed can kiss my fucking hairy ass. Or I cannot go to your Islam countries, to try to help out with their abysmal cultures.

I doubt you would be killed..

Tell that to the folks shopping at a mall in America.

Oh, and by the way, I am left handed. Google your own religion to see what they think about that. When visiting Egypt on a business trip, I was told not to use my left hand . . . otherwise, I would probably be killed.

Who is doing the killing here? Am I standing in an airport security line because of Muslims? Or Methodists in Ohio . . . ?

Do christians listen to other christians who condemn?

Well, Christians don't let other extremist terrorists hang out in their houses of worship. If the creeps from the Westboro Baptist Church showed up at any Christian church that I know showed up, they would be politely ask by the pastor to "take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut". In contrast, Muslim Mosques actively encourage extremists and terrorists to make themselves at home.

Have you been to a mall lately? Remember your Muslim Pledge of Allegiance . . . that is your "get out of jail free" card. Anyone else will be slaughtered.

Look at the history of slavery in the south.

Yes, that's gone now, isn't it? Let's look at the slavery in the Islamic State. Twelve year old girls sold as sex slaves, because that's the what's written in the Koran, and what the Prophet [sic] wants.

Did it end because the menonites and some catholics told the other christians it was wrong?

No, it ended because a lot of folks, regardless of their religions agreed that slavery was evil, and was worth fighting for to end.

Look at Muslims today. They couldn't even muster themselves to lift a finger against the Islamic State . . . until Obama twisted their arm.

Muslims would like to live in the prosperous land of a liberal democracy. But they want the government of a Medieval Caliphate.

It's not going to work with Muslims living with non-Muslims.

Greece, as my high school history teacher would put it, is a basket case. It survives only on the handouts from the EU.

I worked on an EU funded research project, where Greeks were involved, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and the Athens Technology Center (ATC). Although some of those folks had PhDs, none of them were even close to being productive as a US high school student.

Whine, moan, bitch and complain, someone else was responsible for their failure. I couldn't even hear it any more.

Yeah, great, a funky new currency . . . but Greece needs some more radical reform . . . and not some leftist bullshit.
