I'm just saying that the numbers don't work out if you kill 9 terrorists, injure a couple hundred more, and radicalize thousands to their cause at the same time. You're going backwards. That's pragmatism, not ant-Semitism. I'm 100% in favor of wiping out Hamas and Hezbollah fighters. But not if it's in a way that's going to create hundreds more to take their place.

Honest Question: How is Trump a 'threat to Democracy'?
impulse replied to diceman's topic in Political Soapbox
They spelled it wrong. It's not democracy. It's Democrats that he's a threat to. They're the real threat to democracy.- 239 replies

They killed 9 terrorists, wounded a few hundred, and radicalized thousands of innocent bystanders and their families. By my math, they're going in the wrong direction if they want to defeat terrorism. They're creating them faster than they can kill them. And not just in the Middle East, as recent western events have shown.

Remind me who was in the White House when the Russian wars started. And who was in there when no Russian wars started.

Do you have that nightmare, too? How often? -
Ang Thong official paid full salary for decade without working

If judging on the net benefit and not the hours worked, he may be their most productive gub'ment employee. -
Foreign Tourists Caught in Intimate Acts on Tuk-Tuk During Traffic Jam

Oooh. Oooh. I'll answer that one. After you've had your crotch grabbed and gotten dry humped outside half a dozen lady (and ladyboy) bars, it's not hard to believe that anything goes. -
Foreign Tourists Caught in Intimate Acts on Tuk-Tuk During Traffic Jam
impulse replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
It's not on my bucket list, but kudos to them for knocking one off their list, by knocking one off. I wonder if the tuk-tuk overcharged them? -
In the USA, I live in my house and in my cars. That's the way suburbia works. In Thailand, I live out in the community. Even if I don't speak the language, I wave and say hello to 10x as many people each day in Bangkok as in the USA. Which is one reason that my real estate needs wants in Thailand are so much cheaper than in the USA. One more reason to retire in LOS.

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
But when? Recent protests all over the western world would indicate support for "the scum" is growing. Even if they are as wrong as can be, they're growing in numbers. My guess is that the pager incident will radicalize thousands more. Not just in the Middle East. In London, Paris, and California... -
That's enough to hold him while they investigate the juicier charges, with words like intent and conspiracy. I understand he was also driving a car that wasn't his (stolen, or loaned to him?), with plates swapped from another vehicle. With him being from North Carolina and Hawaii, it will be interesting to see how he got an SKS in Florida with his felony record. He either stole it, owned it before his felony conviction(s), or there's going to be more people in the soup...

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Common sense would tell me that a lot of those pagers exploded in public areas, perhaps even on airplanes, buses, etc. Giving yet more innocent people a reason to become hate filled extremists. I'm still trying to figure out the math. How do you eliminate terrorism if you create more than you kill? Unless, of course, by ethnic cleansing. I'm 100% in favor of Israel eliminating Hezbollah and Hamas fighters. But not in favor of radicalizing more than they eliminate. -
Second Assassination Attempt-Secret Service get Trump to safety
impulse replied to CharlieH's topic in World News
The specter of Armageddon makes me wax nostalgic for those mean tweets. -
Strangely, they didn't draw a correlation between those 2. Nowhere do they claim that the reason for the delay was that Georgia law. It's just as likely the delay was due to normal problems like insurance approvals, lack of staff, specialist consultations, or any number of reasons people sit in ER waiting rooms for hours. And wait weeks to get appointments. Especially since Obamacare. (there, I said it...)

You're sure responding to a lot that I didn't say. That's a bald faced lie. Edit: Unless you're on the gub'ment dole. I was on Obamacare for 2 years running (before Medicare kicked in). My premiums went up 15% year over year. And that was before the Harris/Biden's inflation spike. Full disclosure: I wasn't on the gub'ment dole. It may be great for those who are. I don't personally know anyone who's happy with Obamacare. At least none that say they are.
