How many boys you got pinned to plywood in your basement, Audrey?

We all know that Audrey loves ISIS and all the Muzzies.

Okay. Enough is enough. I call truce on Aubrey-ragging. Let's try to focus on the content of the posts rather than on the personalities of the posters. Why? Because every day there are new events to discuss, but hurling insults at each other (fun as that may be) is, by its very nature, repetitive and boring. Here. I'll start: Mr. Aubrey, I apologize if any of my tasteless insults offended you. It was my goal to confront you using tit for tat, goose/gander sort of stuff which, we all recognize, is sort of easy and not terribly productive. Thus, I propose that we make an effort to address the content of each other's points of view instead of insulting our fellow participants. Right, right? Wrong. Hahahaha. Yeah, you're right. It was a bad idea. Full speed ahead then.

It's a lovely day.

Yup. So were Nixon and Blitzkrieg.

I think camera 9 is an upgrade as well: seems much sharper. Maybe they only cleaned the housing cover, but definitely a better image, IMHO.

... so to speak. I see that K&R left the bottle of Jägermeister. That means it must be an empty, I guess. Seems that it might be getting harder and harder to find people to live in these places. Finding appropriate couples can't be an easy task.

Excellent concession speech, Aubrey. We are all proud of you. Some of us doubted that you had it in you (myself included) but you proved the naysayers wrong. You manned up, as it were, and made a very well thought out statement. A bit light on contrition but we don't want to rub your nose in it. That's for content. As for form: You need to work on punctuation, spelling, and grammar a bit. Not that we are grammar nazis per se, but too many little errors tend to detract from the content of your posts. Your grade? You get a B+/C Feel free to edit your post and resubmit for half credit. But again, it shows a lot of character to admit when you are wrong. Good job. The Team.

Careful, Pepe, or soon you will be part of that Karen-Pirate-Ozi-Pepe-Admin-Squirrel-Woodworker guy. Can't have that! Hahaha.

No, wait. I like this! So, according to Aubrey, I am "The Artist" AND I AM ALSO "Ozi," right? Cool beans!

Turkey is stalling on ISIS because they want ISIS to kill the Kurds, and then Turkey will work with the U.S. to kill off ISIS. It's a classic power play that never crossed the mind of the ineffectual metrosexual in D.C. Tee time! But wait: Audrey -- I'm "The Artist?" Who is that? I don't live in the U.S. of A.? Where do I live, Cupcake? I'm afraid you have outed yourself as a total paranoiac. But it's not your fault, is it CupCakes? It's those damn chemtrails making what passes as your brain foggy. But just to allow you to reclaim what little cred you have around here: Tell us now, upon what evidence at your disposal, do you claim the things you said in the previous post regarding any of us. We'll wait.

Ooops. I thought I made up "Wagga-Wagga." I didn't realize that such a place actually exists. My bad.

Very well said, Van. Although the U.S. doesn't condone biological attacks, as I said before, all we need is a combination drone / wood chipper and spray the pink foggy mist of Ebola corpses overhead. As you said, the problem will fix itself in short order. Stupid people don't understand that mass killing is simply an event -- no value judgment is attached to that. It is the REASON for the action that defines the morality. Nazis killed based on who their victims were. That is immoral. Killing based on what the targets do or have done may or may not be immoral, depending on what it is that they did or are doing. But you see, these days, college students major in Feelings. They are not equipped to deal with complicated issues, particularly moral ones, that don't deal with (1) victimization of some grievance class; or (2) the temperature of the North Pole. That's all they got. And the truth is nothing but "hate facts."

I doubt that my mom had ever heard of the KKK in her life. I tend to apologize way too much. It's one of my many flaws. Sorry. No wait....

Oz. You and I agree on way too much for you to take the following as an insult or think for a moment that I say this without profound respect for both your knowledge and your articulation of that fine knowledge. But let us begin: Australia is not the U.S. and I am quite sure everybody on your continent agrees that that is a very very good thing. And I agree. Australia has the disadvantage of being much closer to the Islamic action than the U.S. is. Our only hot spot is Minnesota, with Senator Al Franken championing the cause of Islamist acceptance. He is likely to win reelection this term because the other fellow has no money and the ... other people ... have plenty to spare. Australia has to be more careful than does the U.S. for geographical reasons as well as liberal political reasons. Also, notwithstanding the most excellent bar fights, Australia is a peace loving society with reasonable people. Awaken a sleeping giant? Again, I apologize but that made me laugh. You think that Islam is the sleeping giant? I'm sorry Oz, but the United States is the sleeping giant, just as it was on December 7, 1941. God bless Franklin Roosevelt (who I dislike for unrelated reasons) and Harry Truman (the last Democrat president with a pair) because they understood the rules of engagement are the following: do whatever you need to do to win. September 11, 2001 was a wake-up call for the sleeping giant. But the U.S., which is inherently isolationist (two large oceans help that), simply hit the snooze alarm and went back to sleep. Before doing so, George W. Bush took some aggressive action (some pretty good, some jaw-drop stupid), but his rules of engagement were essentially like LBJ's -- the war was not lost in Vietnam, it was given away by foggy rules of engagement. The recent Muslim beheadings have exhausted the snooze alarm pause and that wake-up alarm is once again sounding. Over 50% of those asked (in the U.S.) whether we should send ground troops in to kill all the ISIL-ISIS folks, responded in the positive for the first time ever. Whenever overseas tyrants talk about America and Americans, they exhibit their misunderstanding of the American psyche and the American government. They always say that they do not consider Americans to be the enemy, but only the U.S. government and its policies, blah blah blah. This is a joke. This misunderstanding comes from said tyrants and others abroad thinking CNN and NBC speak the minds and hearts of America. Those news sources speak for about 30-35% of us, most along the two coasts. The rest? We are far more belligerent and right wing than our government. You may have noticed: we are not a cosmopolitan culture outside the population centers. As I have pointed out, many people had no qualms about nuking Tehran in 1979. But like Obama, Jimmy Carter's rules of engagement were: "Use your words!" That's why, on Reagan's inauguration day, the Iranians made damn sure that all of the hostages had cleared Iranian air space before Reagan came to the mic for his inaugural address. Would he have nuked Iran? No, of course not. But it's the perception that wins the game, not the pussy-red-line-drawing by ineffectual metrosexuals that wins the game. Americans were singing a parody of the Beachboys' song: Bomb bomb bomb, bomb-bomb Iran..." Americans didn't give a ship about Islam, Persia, pistachio nuts, etc. They saw Iran as the enemy, so fuck 'em. What happens when the sleeping giant is awakened and doesn't have a hershey packer president? Ask Dresden (with British partnership I might add). Ask Hiroshima, Nagasaki. They are foreigners, so fuck 'em. Is this what the U.S. delegation says at the U. N.? Nope. But this is the mindset that must be recognized. An awakened Islam? Pissing them off? Nah. They already are pissed at us and want all of us to die, so..... [wait for it] ....... fuck 'em. Now, the CNN person-on-the-street interview would not show that fact. Such interviews in New York and San Francisco would show the opposite: we need to try to understand the underlying causes and motivations of those poor Muslim people and try to ..... blah blah blah. And that's what the people overseas think Americans think. Wrong. We are as blood thirsty as ISIS but not hands-on. We wouldn't think a thing about bathing fifty square miles in napalm, so long as we didn't have any of OUR soldiers in harm's way. But we have a president who bombs empty buildings in the middle of the night, just as we had LBJ bombing empty rice paddies all day and all night. We are at war with Islam, but only the Islamists knows that right now. Does that mean we need to kill all the Muslims? Of course not. Probably much less than 1% of them -- those who self-identify in the usual ways. But just like the Germans and the Japanese got the picture, THEN and ONLY THEN will the hearts and minds follow. And only then will this Nazi 2.0 race of cockroaches be tamed and evolve into what may, indeed, be a religion of peace. Until then? Fuck 'em. We don't want to learn their proud history, their factions and theologies, their sects and alliances. We want to light them up. Hate? Nah. Self-preservation. Is the sleeping giant impotent? Right now? Yes, it is. But with some pro-American leadership, that will change.

I Might Be Wrong.

And also important to note is that tourism generates just south of twenty US$ Billion per year to the U.K. While a few come to see how much dog shit they can step into in Kensington Gardens, and yes, there may be some who absolutely can't live without some boiled steak with creamed peas sauce, carrot and prune whip on the side, tourists come to see the old stuff. The buildings, the bridges, the historic sites, and yes, that whole king and queen deal. Sorry. Strike that..... To witness the trappings and splendor of the monarchy. The jewels, costumes, pomp-churches, quaint opulence you just don't see in Les Moines, Iowa. Take away the monarchy and you are left with faggot business guys showing up to squeal about foppish fashion crap that would embarrass Stanley Kubrick's costume bitches; and, of course, the assholes who want to attend what y'all mistakenly call "football" and then beat the shit out of each other. No, better to stick with the twenty billion smakaroos per annum.

Right on! Ever notice how the cockroaches have so much to say but never bother to learn the language well enough to make their rants anything but a joke? Why not simply post their comments in wagga-wagga or whatever language they usually rant in, and let us go Google Translate it? By the way: What do ice hockey players and muzzy women have in common? They change their pads after three periods.

The Kennedy Assassination was before my time.

He's not trying to give a bad image of Islam. It does the work for him. ... and he doesn't wear falsies.
