  1. ICE? on Mars Express Confirms Water on Mars · · Score: 0

    Well let me get this straight. We had pictures from before of ice. Our top guys looked and confirmed it. ICE at the lower polar caps. The english took some pixs and said ICE.

    Yet we spend millions and millions to send a tonka truck there to muddle in the dirt and all to find out "Is there water here?"

    Who missed the Power Point Presentation and forgot to remember the slide which said"Folks here is ICE on mars."

    What the hell, is there now a B word not to be used?
    What am I then if not white? What terms do 'blacks' use to describe non-blacks? Whitey I guess is ok?

    And don't tell me that you all, once in a group do not dare use the word WHITE. Like as in white policeman or white asshole or whatever.

    I was in a theatre is a suburb that was once unmixed. I sat down in a upper row seat with no one around. A large group of teenage blacks walked in a did a very odd dance just so that one of them would not have to sit in a chair next to me.

    Had the same thing happen in a restaurant at the table next to me and my wife where a black dude and a black chick would NOT sit down at the table next to us but continued to stand and wait for the waiter to come back and move them.

    Don't preach this bullshit fella.

    Last month in Washington DC a group of 'white-challenged- gangbangers surrounded our car and we almost got ripped. Yeah they can have firearms there and rape and pillage but whiteboy can't or he goes to jail.

    Funny how things are seen different on YOUR side of the color line. Funny how gangbangers are given a free ride. How the mayor of DC could be a pimping druggie and get by with it.

    I really can't swallow this about the 'rights' we have and the governments role.

    One can be picked up by a law enforcement official for doing nothing. Be placed in jail , go before a judge who can rule as he sees fit and you in effect have no rights in reality. The law seems quite absolute then in practice.

    UNLESS of course you are Michael Jackson, OJ or Toby Bryant with enough money TO BUY your supposed RIGHTS.

    What you are then buying is the RIGHT to get by with murder , rape and pedophilia.

    Where then is the grand blinded dame of justice?

    I submit most of the brouhaha on this subject is conjecture. We see it every day. We are seeing it now. Its not reality. Its hope and optimism but not REALITY.

    Your right about the sugar. Here is what I have seen far too often, even in my own family.

    The child(5 or 6) is up and bright eyed and normal. Says she is hungry. The lazy mom grabs a regular coke out of the frig and gives it to her along with some cookies because she is too fscking lazy to cook or fix something nutrious.

    The child takes the energy straiht in a becomes very very active as a normal result. From there she can only go down, to overweight in the near future, to early onset of diabetes and to misbehaviour and then a whacking or ignored.

    The above is repeated daily. What does any normal person assume the outcome to be? Hytension and hyperactivity become the normal. Can't focus due to high levels of carbohydrates and energy. The diet is nonexistant. The mother blames anything but her sloppy method of rearing and laziness.

    The father left long ago. He was a bum maybe. He had mental problems It was a marriage of consequences and the result will be foreordained.

    This must be happening in unbelievable numbers since I see it so often and I live in a rural area where its just as bad almost.

    Look into the kids eyes hanging out at the local mall. You don't see interest or the future. You see lots of metal, lots of skin and lots of waste and dead eyes and little 'real' intelligence.

    Oh yeah they can play Nintendo like a wiz. Get a job then playing Nintendo. It doesn't work like that. Then they say...oh I got ADHD. I got a poor broken wing...oh help me please...oh.

    They should instead go back and kick the ass of the one who did it to them but they really don't think that far ahead. When they do its too late.

    Your way off.
    The oldsters aren't the ones getting ADHD its the younger ones. If they had been raised perhaps in a less hectic, rush rush, mommy and daddy are too busy,peer pressure world then perhaps the problem would not be so prevalent. Perhaps if people adopted a losss hectic lifestyle and didn't subject their children to massive doses of TV rearing and twitch games, Pokemon and so forth they could have cogent logical thoughts.

    I have seen what you describe when I tried to teach some ADHD an Introd to C Programming. It wasn't that I was too slow its that they could not take in the material and attributed to anything but themselves.

    Its a blame game then , like an alcoholic. A mental problem but more the result of MODERN childraising, or the lack of, that a medical problem.

    Not eating meat? What bullwacky is this? This is exactly the garbage that fuels this gypsy style of
    pyschobabble that you folks pass around and term Medicine.

    I grew up eating farm food and raised in the rough. Never take medicine, never gone to the hospital, and talk slow when its needed or faster than needed.

    When he said, "I get bored and already know their point" I suspect he missed it entirely and is just playing the blame game once more.

    Think they are gifted? I doubt it. Its more self-deception IMO.

    The problem is back in very early childhood. Its environmental and not genetic or viral or any other cause. Its mostly the bad way children are raised and the consquences of that. Of course parents want to not accept it.

    Sit in a mall and listen to a child scream at the top of their lungs for 15 straight minutes and you know where its going. You can see clearly what is happening. Perhaps the 'mommy' then takes her out to the Grand Cherokee with her cute little backpack(the mom) and proceeds to shake the living shit out of her not knowing a camera is taking it all down. A few more years of such behaviour and any child would have huge mental disorders.

    Recalling that scene I still am amazed at how angry it made me to watch a child head being snapped about by a mindless twit of a 'mommy'. I hope she was punished for her acts.
