Comment Stupid as the SFRA is. (Score 1) 236

Right after 9/11 they imposed an ADIZ, then changed the name to Special Flight Rules Area. For 10 miles around DCA, there's no flight for almost all but a very special few. Between that and about 20 miles, you can go there if you ask - Mother May I (Follow rules). Of course this only applies to GA aircraft - something not used in a terrorist act anywhere in the world. The aircraft that were - big commercial jets continue like before.

Even so, we're not "at war" anymore. So no excuse. They should eliminate it.

Used to be able to tell which student's code I was looking at towards the end of a semester, in the 1980s. No need to look at who submitted it. From time to time I'd find one student's work turned in by someone else. That would result in an inquiry and usually an action against that student. Ye old dumpster dive.

Years later I would do code reviews. Hardly any time I could tell you who wrote it. Even if they had departed the company. Certain people do certain things predictably.

Do you know what a "Dixiecrat" is?

Doesn't sound like it. None of you "Lincoln was a Republican!!!1!1" idiots do. Well, either that, or your cynicism knows no bounds.

No cynicism. You're lost in the fog and that's intentional. They lie a lot. Often they'll say something true, slip in a really big lie, then another truth. This administration often doesn't even bother with that, they just go for really big lies.

You're a liberal that doesn't know what conservatism is. Things are conservative because they worked. Wherever this socialism crap is tried, it fails. That is what the Democrats today really are. Not new, I can take you clear back to Roman times. Same bullshit. I bet you don't even know that if I were to take the National Socialist Party's platform from the 1930s and the Democratic party's platform from 2008, you wouldn't be able to tell which is which. I have a feeling you don't even know what the National Socialist Party's better known name is and that they are to the left. Right of communism, however to the left.

As for this dixicrat BS, not just a southern thing. That's another big lie of theirs.

Ignorance isn't anything to be ashamed of. You can fix that. If you don't, then you're stupid. Nobody can fix stupid.

Comment Senator Byrd (Score 1) 420

Dude was a KKK grand dragon and proud of it. Served until recently. For some reason this was never a concern because he was a Democrat. Lots of racism in the Democratic party. Yet they accuse Republicans of being racist even though they clearly aren't. Lincoln was a Republican. Republicans gave women the right to vote. Republicans - Eisenhower tried to give blacks the civil rights act, which LBJ defeated. LBJ only passed it, the THIRD time it came to him and only because he had to. Jim Crowe laws - all democratic. Check out Governor Wallace. And on and on. If you're a Democrat, you're a racist in my opinion.

Don't mod this as flame bait until you check. Facts hurt sometimes. Once you know the truth - mod as insightful.

My age too. I disagree. We had stupid people like this back then too. They were told to shut up. I can remember in Weaton, which is not far from where this happend the Lyons girls were kidnapped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... . All the parents in the neighbourhood were a bit concerned, yet still sent us out. Be back by dark.

Police with the help of the PC bullshit are a lot more stupid today than they were then. Too PC. Black guy, with a crow bar, walking towards a store in the middle of the night. Back then, they'd watch him. He might be planning to break into a store. Today - nope, that's profiling. Surprise, surprise, next day a store was broken into.

You know what they say. If you're not a Democrat when you're young you have no heart. If you aren't a Republican when you're older, you have no brain. Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid people in this country. More and more with usually just a 9th grade education coming in from Mexico all the time. Only a very stupid country would allow that to happen.
