  1. Re:Proud? on Don't Fly During Ramadan · · Score: 1

    Flee? LOL. If I was in mind to flee, I would have done it 40 years ago. I would have fled instead of heading to bootcamp the day after graduating from high school.

    I'd like to support you in your desire to fight, but why? You don't even know who to fight. Who are you going to attack? You don't know, do you?

    You give me a shout when you've managed to figure out that pressing question. You won't get anywhere until you have the active military on your side. Because they are the only ones who will be able to stop the police from shooting you down like a dog.

    Yeah, yeah. Don't blow so hard, you;re kicking up dust.

    I did my time in the military, did the shit jobs that no one else wanted, while pussies like you and your parents were home safe in bed. I've earned the right to say whatever comes to mind. Right now, it's that I'm probably going to the Canadian consulate on Monday to begin the process of invoking my right to a dual citizenship.

    I have had my fill of lying, scumbag politicians and the loud braggarts who support them, crying out their patriotism without regard for the foulness of their actions.

    So you feel free to spout whatever nonsense you wish. I've been here quite awhile. Unlike you who turned up here a million users after me.

    Yeah, 30 years ago is about right.

    I'm considering leaving the country.

  4. My predictions.... on Huffington: Trolls Uglier Than Ever, So We're Cutting Off Anonymous Commenting · · Score: 1

    I predict a massive influx of John Does names in Huffington's future. Even Google had to back off on the real name shit. I also predict that the depth of conversation will become much shallower. Many people have viewpoints that they would rather not share with family, employers, and potential employers.

    Yep. It's not so much thirst as it is to get that first big hit of caffeine to light me off in the morning (0530). After I finish that bottle, I generally don't have anything else to drink during the day until I knock off (~1530-1600).

    I am due for bloodwork and I'll ask the doc to check for diabetes, too.

    Your chances of dying from drinking 10 litres of water a day are just as high, if not higher, since coke does contain sodium and water does not.

    Nah, it's diet coke. No sugar. I seldom drink a regular soft drink. Maybe an occasional glass of ginger ale or orange drink, sometimes a root beer. Diet Coke is my mainstay. Before that, I drank Tab, Diet Rite, or Diet Pepsi.

    Spelling help. Litre is a proper spelling. So is liter.

    Yep. I crack open a two litre bottle every morning when I sit down at my desk to begin work. I'll drink that and later on drink about half of another.

    Check the dictionary ;-)

  12. I call Junk Science on Soda Makes Five-Year-Olds Break Your Stuff, Science Finds · · Score: 1

    I've been a heavy drinker for 50 years. I never went around attacking people or getting into arguments or randomly destroying shit just for kicks.

    I enjoy a few liters of diet coke every day. When I was younger, I drank a few 12-16 oz bottles of sugared pepsi, root beer, ginger ale, or cream soda just about ever day. Maybe a couple more in the summer time.

    IMHO, they're just poking at shit to see what the gullible will accept so that they can wring out some grant money from politicians pandering to their mindless constituents.

    What an innovative suggestion! I heartily approve of your initiative and thing that we should immediately seek federal funding (before we remove the politicians, of course) to put this into action.

    Exactly which rules are you blather on about?

    The ones that required billions of dollars in interest-free loans and caused thousands of people to lose their homes while the bankers involved kicked back counting their million dollar bonuses?

    When marketers say "a less relevant and diverse Internet experience," it really means "you won't see annoying, tailored ads for shit you don't want or need."

    I don't see your damned ads anyway. I use AdBlockPlus and I also block third-party cookies. But since there are less net-aware people out there who don't have the knowledge to mess around with addons or anything other than the default settings, I support Mozilla: Block the cookies from those asshat marketers and help out the less techie people who are on the net.

  21. The bridge crew should be replaced on College Students Hijack $80 Million Yacht With GPS Signal Spoofing · · Score: 2

    Yes, the crew followed the GPS, like good little auomatons. But being a sailor, especially a navigator or quartermaster is more than just reading a GPS.

    If the bridge crew is not competent enough to read a compass nor experienced enough to look at the sky and realize that something was wrong, they shouldn't be entrusted to control anything more experienced than a dinghy. There's this really cool gadget that, with a little work, tells you almost exactly where you are at. It's called a sextant. Put that together with a decent clock and there's no reason to be sailing in the wrong direction.
