A highly successful marketing technique -

Nice raincoat & hat there, Lou!

RE: "WHAT A WASTE"

Did ya ever hit a Super Ball with a baseball bat?

Later, in high school, Slinkys were used in Physics Class to demonstrate how waves move.
Their only practical use, I reckon.

Silly Putty. A wad of useless stretchy stuff that came in an egg-shaped container.

Yep. Marketing is King. "This is America. Nothing happens until someone sells something."

RE: "SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT HERE"

I knew two brothers. Twins.
They were living on opposite sides of the country...North Carolina and Oregon.
One time, the twin in Oregon took a shower. At that very time, his brotber in North Carolina got clean. Both brothers swear this is true.

Weird.

RE: Enough is Enough!

Could be lots of folks want to load up with Jihawg Ammo.

RE: Cuba!

At the time of the Mexican War...
gold hadn't been discovered in California. ..
there was no transcontinental railroad. Thinking was, settlling of the Plains might take 200 yrs.

Hindsight is 20/20

RE: Cuba!

The REAL question is...
why the hell it going to take 100 plus years AFTER we wrested it from Spain?.
AND-
Had we hung onto Mexico after we gave 'em a good drubbing...
the whole Gulf of Mexico would be an American lake!

SHEESH!
Even back when we won wars...we didn't actually WIN anything.

RE: Cuba!

After the Castros' demise .....
How long 'til it's the 51st state?
And a world class destination for A-Listers of the rich & famous.


I've heard the designs for the 5-star accommodations are all drawn up.
As soon as the last Castro takes the dirt nap...the countdown begins!

RE: MMM?

Wallops, it's no problem getting help putting decorations UP.
'Most everyone likes doing that.
Now, getting them DOWN? Well, that's different!

RE: The Test of Time

More accurately:
YouTube. Blood and Oil. The Middle East in World War I.
My mistake.

RE: Pakistan killings...

There are only three - some might say four - basic ways to explain the Universe.

1. It created itself.
Problem -.it would have to simultaneously exist (in order to DO the creating)
And NOT exist (in order to BE created)

2. The Universe is self-existent, having neither beginning nor end.
Problem - it appears to be a closed energy system, and it is consuming energy, but not creating more.
So it appears that it cannot be infinitely old, nor will it continue infinitely.

3. The natural Universe of time, space and matter was created (caused) by an extra, or super natural force, or God.
"Everything that has a beginning, has a cause. The Universe had a beginning, therefore, the Universe has Cause."

Those are your choices folks. Take your pick.

NOTE: #2 enjoyed a remarkably good & long run. It was quite popular from antiquity 'til use of the steam engine prompted reseach into heat & energy. Since then, folks who want to reject #3 have been trying to come up with a alternative that is mathematically possible, scientifically plausible and logically rational.
The search continues. ....

RE: Pakistan killings...

Yep, Mimi...(7×10)+2.= 72.

I did say "few". One of the "World's Great Religions" undeniably has a doctrine and history of "conversion by the sword".

However, even with that said, rulers can exploit religious zeal for political purposes. Such as by sending children to their death with a small plastic key that will guarantee their entry to paradise.

There should be a tenth, and lower, circle of hell for such "Holy Men".

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Mimi!

RE: Pakistan killings...

Actually, I suspect very few wars are fundamentally religious in nature. Rather, leaders USE religion as a motivational ploy on their people/troops.
It's easier to get people to go out and butcher their own kind, if they can be.convinced they are doing the will of a god, and the people being butchered deserve to be butchered.

And, if you can convince your troops they'll be rewarded in the next life should they fall in glorious battle...all the better!

One is left to wonder to what extent the leaders themselves hold the beliefs they attempt to instill. In all of his speeches, George Washington used the word Christian only twice. Both times he was urging troops to do their duty as "Christian soldiers".

RE: Pakistan killings...

Such is the very nature of war.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war."
- Plato, circa 400 BCE
