Investment Opportunity Thought you might want to consider getting on board early.... A British Engineer just started his own business in Afghanistan. He's making land mines that look like prayer mats. It's doing well. He says prophets are going through the roof.

What a sick piece of twisted sh*t this is.
Aside form its offensiveness, it is stupid.
The logic here is A uses B, therefor everyone who uses B is A.
For example Westburo Baptist Bigots use bibles, therefor everyone who uses a bible is a homophobic anti-social Westburo Baptist.
Why not make land mines that look like jars of baby food? Why not make land mines that toilets?
Why not refuse to perpetuate ignorance and hate?

For example Westburo Baptist Bigots use bibles, therefor everyone who uses a bible is a homophobic anti-social Westburo Baptist. Note the choices in the use of upper and lower case in the above condemnation of Bigotry. The proper (and respectful) use is The Bible. As a Christian, I do believe this statement is an example of Bigotry as well, offensive to Christians. Pot calling the kettle black. . .

Snuffy, they are a extreme but very small group (thought to comprise about 100 people) wacko's - the ones that try to protest at funerals of our war dead and hate gays, all the extreme stuff. Folks like deb193redux like to trot them out to discredit Christians in an attempt (by implication) to make it seem that radical Islam is no more of a threat than the wacko Christians.

Don't sweat it, James. You know you didn't piss him off too much - at least he didn't call you a "knuckle-dragging mouth breather!" Been there, been called that, just because my opinion was different and somehow inferior to his. Just saying... Jean

Daniel,you said it all when you defended Bloomberg at his little breakfast party cussing the civillians for respectfully denying him service.

Bloomberg is Republican... defending Republicans is now bad here:)?
Well, technically an independent running under Republican banner... but he first took office as a Republican:P.

Interesting about the money, Bloomberg JUST cut off the GOP: www.nypost.com/p/news/local/scand....zSLGUM5fgz3RmIOScandal-stung GOP loses out on Bloomy bucks By DAVID SEIFMAN Last Updated: 11:05 AM, April 7, 2013 Posted: 12:02 AM, April 7, 2013 David Seifman
INSIDE CITY HALL
Republican Party leaders enmeshed in a corruption scandal are about to get another kick in the stomach: Mayor Bloomberg isn’t going to fund the local GOP county committees anymore.
Bloomberg is by far the single largest campaign contributor to the five borough committees. Records show the mayor has lavished $665,000 on the local GOP since 2009, when he received the green light to run on its line for a third term even after dumping his Republican voter registration to become an independent.
With the federal indictment of two party leaders for allegedly taking bribes for ballot access, only Brooklyn Republican Party chairman Craig Eaton still has ties to the administration.
“There are no more relationships,” said one source close to the mayor. “It’s not likely they’re going to get any more.”
The corruption cases — including one against Bloomberg ally Jay Savino, the Bronx GOP leader — make it that much easier to cut the funding cord.
The mayor is more than willing to put up large sums of money to further his political ends. He’s not willing to get near anything that smells of scandal, if he can help it.
The state Independence Party, for example, hasn’t received a dime from the mayor since 2009. Bloomberg used the party as a vehicle to deliver $1.1 million to consultant John Haggerty for a poll-watching operation. Haggerty is now serving time for stealing most of the money.
Judging by its various campaign accounts, the Republican Party here is struggling. Only the Staten Island committee has more than $100,000 in the bank — and that’s after a $50,000 donation from Bloomberg in March 2012.
The Manhattan committee has $31.65 in one account and 29 cents in another. Manhattan GOP chairman Dan Isaacs said not to make too much of those paltry figures since his committee will get most of its income from an annual fund-raiser in June.
“It’s all cyclical,” he said. “I don’t need to be sitting on a lot of money right now.” Isaacs described Bloomberg’s funding as “not a factor. I haven’t thought at all about support from Mayor Bloomberg going forward.”
One possible white knight is billionaire John Catsimatidis, who is running for mayor on the GOP line and has been generous to many politicians over the years.
But he’s not in Bloomberg’s lofty league.
Records show he and his firms have ponied up $311,700 to the local GOP since 2009, or less than half what Bloomberg has provided.
Scandals are not selling points for the bottom line.

Yeah, Bloomberg is republican.... lol you funny!! I don't care what he put on his election application or his voter registration. I judge the man by his actions and they ain't Republican. The change was warranted.

Now if Bloomberg ran for US President as Republican, I'd vote for him. He cleaned NYC up of corruption...something I would never have believed possible 20 years ago.
He can call me a 'little people' to my face if he is helping this nation.

The change was warranted. True. A Republican cleaning up corruption is pretty unbelievable. But there are still a handful of good people left in the Republican party. They aren't all out to destroy the middle class.

Just how much do you know about NYC and its corruption that everyone was so used to living with James? I grew up there. That must mean you know more about it than I do:).

I think corruption is an integral part of humanity.It exists where we exist.It is a given.
