Comment Re:Domestic war (Score 1) 148

There is no F******G war going on. 20 people where killed, 17 by terrorists. We have a problem with equality and participation and integration in Europe. However, we are not on war with a part of our own population. And while 17 dead people is horrible, we have more dead people in traffic related accidents 3250 per year or smoke or germs in hospitals everyday. So get that in perspective. Yes we have to address terrorism. We have to do this with police work and social work and a good integration strategy which does not put immigrants in ghettos and throw away the keys.

What is happening here in France and elsewhere in Europe and the UK is a reflection and direct result of the wars that we are engaged with elsewhere in the world.

To look at one aspect without taking into account the other would be an error.

You can have whatever integration strategy you want but when the percentage of immigrants comes close to or exceeds the percentage of non-immigrants in a given area, integration becomes impossible and reverse-integration becomes expected.

We are at war and it is a war of cultures, sometimes fought with bullets and soon to be fought with votes.

Fair enough assessment. However I'd like to see you frame a house, sheet it, roof it, drywall it, put siding on, trim it, for under $4800.

For that price, I don't necessarily think this is just "mindless hype".

It might be interesting to know what $4800 USD is actually worth there in China, adjusted for 'cost of' doing whatever in China vs. the cost of doing it in the US, and making your comparison with that.

Comment Re:its a drug bust (Score 1) 129

For everyone who is about to object: what do you think a drug bust looks like? They posed as drugs consumers/dealers and busted the parties buying/selling. This seems like what my taxpayer dollars should go towards: stomping out illegal activity where it is prevalent.

Surely catching big white collar crime and corrupt politicians should be prioritized over small quantity drug issues.

But of course stomping out truly significant criminal activity is beyond the scope or capabilities of the LEOs that work for those same corrupt politicians, who in turn are owned by those big white collar criminals.

They bombed the London Tube for Allah

They crashed planes into the World Trade Center at NYC and at the Pentagon for Allah

A film director was murdered in the Netherlands for Allah

Hostages had been killed in Sydney for Allah

And now, at least 12 person have been cold-bloodedly slaughtered, in Paris, for Allah

In the name of "Allah", who will be the next victim ?

A woman police officer in Paris this morning, Paris time:

Not directly related but I'd be surprised if this wasn't also done in the name of Allah.

Comment Re:I think the thing being missed here (Score 1) 300

I think the thing being missed here is that people are in a hurry. If I can fly a 747 from Seattle to Japan and the flight takes 14 hours, I would pay more to be able to do it in 7.

Would you pay ten times more? That's the kind of factor you'd be looking at for that kind of speedup.

The way things are going, with the rich getting richer, CEOs that live like kings, etc, there is already a class of people who would pay ten times more if they wanted to make the trip in a hurry.

How many of them would bother is another question.

ok, so he can take comfort that he can blame a piece of metal for the accident rather than taking personal responsibility. if i had a car with a big honking A pillar, I would tilt my head a little to make sure there were no cars (or people) there before proceeding.

He does take responsibility for it jerky - I am saying that the A frame can get in the way of visibility.
