funny, wicca......

Helldiver, they havn't gotten any smarter in all these years. Ever heard of homeopathy?

Is that like people who vote Democrat? ;-)

No, it's more like a Republican who hangs around public bathrooms in airports, or who sexually solicits male paiges on Captiol Hill.

More like THOSE.

Probably bunches of you can correct me, but Homeopathy was a medical practice that tried to avoid having the remedy make the person more sick than he was before being treated. I think it was the sometimes practice to administer things like mercury as a curative....and like, emetics were commonly administered for minor conditions (like colds), in the belief that the disease could be upchucked, and blood-letting was an ordinarily used therapy (actually, that's the reason for the red spiral on the barber's pole, since they often were the razor-wielder for this misbegotten notion).

Wasn't that it, for homeopathy, that is? ? ?

Maybe his spacebar is broken, but it looks like the 'enter' key is working just fine. Now if we could only get him to use the 'backspace' and 'delete' keys...

Naw, he thinks he is cool. I do not even try to read his posts.

I was being sarcastic. In the 30s, people used to drink water with radium in in. The radioactivity was healthy! The more things change, the more they remain the same. There will always be dumbasses in the world. You definately don't have to be smart to become rich.

Helldiver, I'm well aware of the whole radium scandal. Lasted for years before they eradicated it; had it not been for a certain playboy celebrity, (Who suffered an unfortunate death when his jaw fell off due to the radiation) who knows how long it would have gone on?
Whats sad was that soem companies were selling things that claimed to have a lot of radiation, but didn't.. and they were banned for false advertising. Leaving the real deadly ones out on the market.

The funny thing is homeopathy actually does work because of the placebo effect. Though you should not try it for anything serious and potentially deadly.

Would not work on me though, since I know that with the mixing ratios they use there is only a small chance even a single molecule of the "healing substance" is in the dose you take.

Actually, radiation and poisons do stimulate the immune system on some people in some unknowable dose due to hormesis.

The effect is believed to be related to calorie restriction hormesis.

Everyone has great ideas once in a while. A true genius just has these great ideas closer together.

Yes, but these are the real dumbasses here. Cumbucket nailed it. You see, we are authorized to call these guys idiots.. because their crap has been proven to be useless. You should study up on the Wright brothers a bit. They really were smart, right from the beginning.
(Fuel for the feminist's fires, here: it was due greatly to their mother, who encouraged it. Now just think: we might not have airplanes today, had it not been for a WOMAN.)

There were actually many people in many countries trying to build and fly the first airplane. If the Wright brothers hadn't done it, somebody else would have figured it out. Either that, or we'd all be flying commercial Zeppelins around still.

The first person to fly reproducably heavier than air was Otto Lilienthal (there were successful attempts before him, but they did not really understand why it worked and did not repeat it), the Wright brothers were the first to fly a powered heavier than air vehicle.

Though the funniest things in this video were the various attempts at onrithopters. Flying by moving your wings is very complex, it could be done today but it is not energy efficient (as far as we know now).

I liked the walking machine :)

I know.. unfortunately, I am fairly well informed.. meaning I've lost my portion of bliss. I was honestly hoping, just hoping, that you guys wouldn't know quite so much about that topic. I was obviously wrong.

That has a positive side, too I suppose. I'm not completely ( | | | ) surrounded by morons. V V V

Nyeh.. stupid comment box messed up my arrows; (which were pointing towards Mr. "Witt".)

I know just a little about the Wright Bros. since I have lived on the Outer Banks my entire life ... LOL.

I live near the place where Lilienthal did make many his flights.

Otto was a genius. Hope there's a monument to him there.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:LilienthalDenkmal.JPG

This is in the Berlin district Lichterfelde. Maybe 10 minutes to drive from my place.

The hill had been enlarged for him to use for testing. He took many flights from there, the fatal one was at a place outside Berlin.

There are more:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Lilienthal_Krielow.jpg
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Lilienthal_Memorial_Anklam.jpg

One of the Berlin airports is currently carrying his name, it is to be shut down when the new airport goes into sevice in a couple years. A majority of people around here want the new airport to get his name.

Thanks bug. The first photos I saw of him showed how ahead of his time he was, gliding like he was born with wings. Leonardo would have been proud .Great looking monument.

I agree (with whoever said it, I can't recall right off hand;) that whenever that type of of comment is thrown out, it backfires. It's kind of funny how a small error negates an insult...

".......my nose ended up in her muff"

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

I wuz robbed.

canuck

the debate was tempered (no make that stifled) by the unwritten but well recognized political axiom that you can't politically beat the shit (figuratively) out of a female opponent in public debate no matter how ill informed, uneducated, or transparently phony her performance.....

p.s....if she pulled that ronald reagan/ caribou barbie imitation one more time i swear i was fully prepared tee one up and drive a titleist thru my t.v.

..oh yeah ...the video...fascinating
....the machine shown hitting golf balls is still used to this day, by every major golf club manufacturer to test club response...i'm sure they have improved upon it but it looks almost exactly the same....it's called "iron byron" after byron nelson..

Gee, Chuck....ya think? I mean, here's yet another example of the depths to which this douche bag and her Party will sink to, to stay in power:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081004/ap_on_el_pr/palin_obama;_ylt=AgGTo9._Xx.rxL8bkOr.oRKyFz4D

See what I mean? And what was on that list I wrote a day or two ago, about what strategies the Republicans tend to use in elections (especially in elections---like this one---that show their numbers in total free-fall).

I rest my case.

Greeting earthlings I would like you to meet all the extraterrestial beings from outer space.
We have sent them all to Canada with thier leader who is Canuck1963.

Not Canvck or Canock or any other impersonators.
There is only one leader,

the one and only CANUCK1963.
Thats why he got a medal,
that's why he wears blue pants ,
to hide his blue skin.
He is a blue skin extraterrestial from space.
All hail him the next Messiah !!!!
To bad Americans he is ours.
He can walk on water (ice).
He can multiply fish [ 2 for one sale at macdonalds]
You can call him direct 1 888 our boss all calls will be just $1.74 which goes to a fund for a bigger medal for the boss.

LOL!

That was actually....funny.

LOL!

Ha Ha HA ROTFL. Nice link Chuck. I saw some of the other Couric interviews too ... wow. I'm Canadian , and it makes me happy that at least we have more than 2 choices of morons to vote for LOL. In the US I couldn't bring myself to vote Democrat or Repulican in this election. The best choice was Hillary C. Now it looks like both parties are doing their best to NOT get elected. What happened to Ron Paul ???

Duh!

I remember "wrong way Feldman", who crash landed on Gilligan's Island. He was played by Hans Conried (Walt Disney's Captain Hook in the movie Pete Pan)...shit, how do I know this stuff?? Oh yeah, Google...

For a moment I was fearing you had reached "that" stage, you know where you remember everything that was before the war, but not where you left your keys (Which war? Right!).

LOLOL!! I thought it was WaneWright, But Miter you are CORRECT sir!! Feldman..that's right. All those years believing the lie.
I just knew someone here would have remembered that valuable info. LOL

Bug, wasn't that a line from the episode? :)) LOL!

I wouldn't know, never watched any of the series.

Oh Bug, you don't know what you missed! Which begs the question; Mary Ann or Ginger?

I vote Mary Ann .

Has no one here given Lovey Howell A glance, Gerrrrrr..LOL!!! I'd kill Thurston for some of that vintage (fill in____)....:))

Mary-Ann (a.k.a. Dawn Wells) is coming to town next month, in a comedy stage play.

Gonna try to snag an autographed picture.

I always voted Mary-Ann over Ginger.

ALWAYS.

... I bet there is a porno movie based on Gilligan's Island, and I'm betting that it is really funny.

Pod, There was a porno with a similar title Called...Cant remember, But what I do recall Was at first it was interesting ,Then very interesting,THEN VERY VERY INTERESTING...Then I lost interest.

Funny thing was 18 minutes later I turned it on again and became slightly interested, then Very interested .... ;)

Hm, randal our resident expert on pornos?

Randal , the porn story, that was funny, 18 minutes to re-load !

Take away a terrorist's Ak-47 and home-made explosives, and you take away his purpose in life. =)

Canuck. get a job would you?

Meaning.....what?

You that's ME up above, there?

C'mon.

Seriously, Wolfie.

I expect MUCH better outta you.

I'm happy to see you're still alive.

Did I miss something here?

FLMAO!!! The funniest part of your story....I bet it's all true! And I now know why you have such an interest in "our" election! You're a funny man C!

I Hope she votes for the Black man. I want a new slogan to Resound across the valleys, and over the mountain tops of The United States of America.. "KILL WHITE "!!

All kidding aside, I'm sure being a bred politician Obama is full of shit?, But.. At this point in the game I'd take anyone rather then a seat occupied by a puppet with nothing more then a vacant looking face reminding me that whom ever is driving the boat it ain't him!!

Well, I'm voting for him anyhoo.

Obama that is!

That's funny Canuck! If you're wife wanted to vote for Obama, she probably wouldn't mind you seeing. So I see who's the more sensible one in your family.

The problem with most blinded, right-wing, flag-waving, lapel-pin-wearing hacks like yourself, is that you repeatedly fail to appreciate self-deprecating and ironic humour. Those concepts have always eluded you and your ilk.

Meanwhile, go check out the latest documentary that's out.

It's about.....The Keating 5.

Funny enough, YOUR hero (who likes to repeatedly crash planes) plays a role in it.

I'm well aware of McCain's involvement in the SNL scandal, as I mentioned several posts ago. I've also said he wasn't my first choice to lead the blinded, right-wing, flag-waving, lapel-pin-wearing party.

Now when will Obama deny his relationship with a known domestic terrorist? He's got some great friends don't he? No you don't have to wave the flag or wear flag lapel pins in the Democrat party. In fact, you can bomb American government buildings and say "God damn America!", and still climb to the top! Much better party, if you're an America hating terrorist. And nobody is saying this about Obama, only that his very best friends are America hating terrorists... oh... and his wife. She's a peach.

And what does your repeated reference to McCain crashing numerous planes intend to make? Are you implying that McCain is more holy than the Obamasiah?

Your wife is gonna vote for McCain, and you're so mad, you're taking your aggression out on me. Tell me, does it make your wife less intelligent, and more racist, to vote for McCain?

Another statement from the bottom of the pond...

Are you sure you never visited the same pub as some terrorist? Maybe you even had a customer card with the same video rental store. Given GWBs inventions for better information retrieval about suspects (formerly called citizens) it should not be too hard for the homeland security to find out.

The funny thing is that the self appointed partiots like you don't give a damn about their country and their people as long as the rituals are followed. Thinking and critizising is high treason to you. Though really improving your country and ousting nitwits and parasites from the government would be patriotic.

Yeah, right.

You want to connect Obama to a guy who was a radical nutjob comitting crimes 40 years ago......when Obama was EIGHT YEARS OLD??

Fuck, you ARE stupid.

Andspeaking of "hanging out with domestic terrorists"....wasn't Palin and her hubby members of a seccessionist group that were TRAITORS and hate the Republic so much that they campaigned for Alaska to separate??

And YOU want THIS c***t as VP?

Yes....I've decided.

You ARE completely fucking stupid.

Bug, stupid-assed reasoning and assumptions on your part again. I'm losing hope for intelligent conversation from you.

Canuck, that actually makes it worse. Because Obama was a grown man when he met this well known radical nutjob, and Obama fully accepted his support. Your spouting of the liberal bullet point is not a defense. You sir, are a usual idiot for the liberal movement.

I just don't understand how you lefties can't carry on a simple political discussion politely and respectfully. You always resort to name-calling, making incorrect assumptions about what I believe, and demonstrating truly aweful reasoning skills. I guess liberalism really is a mental disease.

Got me on the name-calling business.

I'll give you that one. Nasty habit, when on the Internet, and I'm unfettered by societal constructs.

But as for the other stuff/issues? You're way, way off-base.

And you know it.

If I knew it as you say, would I bother arguing with you? Believe it or not, my purpose in life is not solely to piss you off.

So Obama has an American hating minister, an America hating political sponsor, and an American hating wife. Even if hate is too strong a word, Obama certainly surrounds himself, the most influential people in his life mind you, with radical America bashing people. Obviously if Obama did not feel the same way, these people might offend him. So it stands to reason that Obama shares this America hating viewpoint. Is that not a logical conclusion? Is Obama's radical philosophy someone we want running the most powerful military on Earth? Your wife sees that. ;-)

Try thinking outside the Democrat vs. Republican debate, try thinking outside the political views, think about character a little bit. Which man would you more trust to best defend American interests worldwide? You and all the Europeans have the luxury of not having to worry about that, because America's interests are not your top priority, but they should be the top priority of the president of the United States.

With that thought, I would rather have Hillary running for president, than Obama. While I disagree with most everything Hillary stands for, at least I believe she did have America's best interests at heart. How many times did Hillary vote with Bush?

"America hating", interesting. Could it be that these people just have a different (clearer) view of the world than you? Maybe they think that some or much of the things the USA does are plain wrong and they want to correct them to help their country?

Ah, of course I forget that a true patriot must stand to his country no matter what. Even if the country is doing stupid things, or comitting atrocities.

Would you expect me as a German to be proud of the 3rd Reich? Oh, yes, of course not, since the USA was in disagreement with Hitler. But think of it for a moment if you were im my shoes, according to your principles you would have to be proud of your country starting WWII and building concentration camps.

Regarding Bill Ayers:
1. If he is such a dangerous terrorist why is he not in prison?
2. Are you guilty if your neighbor commits a crime?
3. Where are facts about a connection?

Oh mah Gawd.

If America's "interests" is something not taken to heart outside the U.S., then why do other nations (we and the Europeans) have troops dying in Afghanistan? Also, given the numbers-ratio of how many troops WE deployed there in relation to KIA, why are WE taking three times as many casualties as any other nation?

Oh yes.

I forgot.

We're selfish, and we (and Europe) don't have America's interests "at heart" (even when we pay for it with the blood of OUR sons and daughters).

I forgot. My bad.

Well they definately have a different view than me, but I would not confuse radical with clearer.

A true patriot must defend his nations interests. America is in a war against Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda is fighting us from Afghanistan and Iraq. Whether it was right initially to invade Iraq or not, we're there now, and so is Al Qaeda.

America invaded Iraq to remove Saddam, end genocide, and enforce UN sanctions. Hitler entered Poland and Czechoslavakia to steal land. America has been rebuilding Iraq ever since at great cost. Germany stole from its occupied lands, and massacred the inhabitants. Big differences.

And then you go presuming to know my principles again. My principles don't involve invading an innocent country purely for your nation's gain. Saddam's Iraq was hardly innocent, America has hardly gained from this. Americans are bitterly divided on Iraq, precisely because we have a tradition of only fighting wars after we've been attacked first. Bush's pre-umptive strategy will leave office with Bush. Future presidents will need to start wars the old fashioned way, fake an enemy attack on US forces, like Kennedy did in the Gulf of Tonkin.

And my principles involve supporting the creation of concentration camps? Surely this is a new low even for you. Or is this in reference to your lame comparison of German concentration camps (where millions of innocents were murdered) and Gitmo (where a few hundred terrorists are incarcerated). This comparison is not justifyable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers
"Federal charges against both fugitives dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct" The reporter quoted him as saying "I don't regret setting bombs" and "I feel we didn't do enough" "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ... " Revolutionary war against the United States government and the capitalist system should begin immediately. To achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism
Later in 1995, Ayers hosted "a coffee" for "Mr. Obama's first run for office."
Since 2002, there has been little linking Obama and Ayers. The senator said in September 2008 that he hadn't "seen him in a year-and-a-half."

We have this innocent until proven guilty thing for US citizens, and maybe there was not enough proof to convict him, even though we all know OJ is guilty.

You are not guilty if your neighbor commits a crime, (stupid analogy) but if you then accept money from that person to run for public office, you can then expect that assosciation to be challenged.

The facts are Bill Ayers supported Obama's political career. Obama must have known this guys background, or learned it along the way. Much like Obama's America hating minister, Obama didn't disown the guy until he had to. No personal disgust at the violence this man committed, his money was still good.

Total reality distortion is what describes you very well.

Thanks for providing the Wikipedia link. So the guy donated $200 to Obama, big deal, I guess Obama did organize a big reception with a red carpet to thank his benefactor and took him into his family.

Or is it maybe much more likely that Ayers just dropped off the money at Obamas office among thousands of others doing the same?

So now you are guilty if some criminal drops something in your office or post box.

Reasoning that goes along the same lines as the bullshit you made out of my patriotism comment.

Someone who does not scrutinize what his government does but just unequivocally accepts everything and is proud of any shit they do is not patriotic, such a person is just a fucking huge dumbass who is disloyal to his country.

You are the type of person who would willingly march along if someone with a flag just explained you sufficiently why it is in the best interest of the country to build concentration camps and throw anyone wearing yellow and blue ties into them. Just because you are such a patriot.

Canuck, are you implying that Canadians and Europeans don't see eliminating terrorism as in their best interests as well? Or are their troops in Afghanistan solely to appease America? Not true, and you know it.

Even Europeans may eventually realize that you can't appease your way to safety from terrorism.

Now Bug, there ya go making assumptions about my thinking again. haven't you been burned enough by that already? Honestly, is it too hard to attack me for what I actually say, that you need to make up shit you think I might believe? Don't go projecting all your right-wing bigotry onto me.

Bill Ayers alone is nothing. Its just that Obama tends to surround himself with America bashers. His minister, the man who started him politics (surely a strong influence), his WIFE. Surrounded by America bashers. Surely Barack shares similar views. Not the guy I want representing my nation internationally. Have you even looked at McCain at all? Or is his semi-republican label all you needed to see?

My above reaction still stands.

Well then I'm afraid you're officially an assuming dumbass.

Thank you, official ignorant dumbass.

Talking to you is like talking to my wife, you always have to get the last word in.

Sorry ol' chap, but we've already had time to make venison jerky.
(You can move a lot quieter when you don't weigh alot. ;)
Better luck next time!

Mount a video camera to your bow? ... and submit a got em video?

Miter...what the hell does deer meat taste like? Chicken? Or what? Awww, fuck it. I AM gonna get out there to see you one day soon, and watch you in action!

Yes Pod, That would be brutal!! Miter what say you...Wait your cameras still broke right?

Yep Randal, the camera's still a non sound recordable, going to go out with blast, worthless unit.

C, venison taste's like, beef usually, only better! I like the loins and back-straps the best, marinated for an hour or so in olive oil, garlic, honey, and just a touch of my fav...gator sauce! Oh man, gotta get me some!

LOL - "Knife season" AKA Rambo week.

..Hunting accouterments for Rambo week are: Green dirty poncho, Red raggedy headband, Speaking incoherently like a drunken ape.

Well, I'm in then!!

I'm wearing all that now.

Hey Randy-Man!

No sweat!

While you're in that get-up, I'll play the Colonel Trautman role, and brag to anyone that'll listen, that you'll eat things that would make a billygoat puke.

And I'd end it with, "Now THERE'S something you don't see everyday".

LMFAO!!!!

Hm, this makes it quite ambiguous if you say "fill me up" at the gas station...
