  1. Re: Backwards on First Hard Evidence for the Process of Cat Domestication · · Score: 1

    Makes me think of my old cat with two noses.(side by side) She would hunt and bring back full grown rabbits, eat the guts and leave the carcass in the yard for the others. She was an outside cat though. I've had at least one mouser-Tonkinese, who regularly laid dead mice at my feet. Good Kitty! I think it depends on their level of boredom with the taste of kibble.

    But Marx was a scumbag convict, Communism is clearly a FAIL at any level, the state couldn't find it's ass with both hands, a light and a road map. The present governments assumption of shares only reflects the kickbacks and corruption, more scumbags, more FAIL and more corporations OWNing their own piece of government.

    If to avoid revolt, one must regulate these companies, break them into itty bitty microcompanies and sell them off to the people. The end. Amen. Fine'

  3. Re:Wrong use of money these days on GM's CEO Rejects Repaying Feds for Bailout Losses · · Score: 1

    Let's reframe the problem; GM's outgoing CEO doesn't agree with the National Law and Policy Center's call for to repay the loss made by the TAXPAYERS from their bailout.

    So, we send a load of hoodlums to the next meeting of the board of directors and cut a finger from each of their hands, slap them around a little and set their cars ablaze in the parking lot. Next time it will be worse, the interest just went up to 100%, and you better have a goddamn payment ready next time we see you. We know who you are and where you live and when your wife fucks the mailman.

    Good old fashioned lending...

    I think I'd go with a glass microbead coating to diffuse the beam and take most of the punch out of it. A nice baked aluminum wrinkle finish beneath that might fuzz it up on the radar enough to get shots to go wild, maybe not. Either way it'd look like a flying disco dildo that would show up under low light sources like projecting a movie on a blimp. Maybe the Military could shoot it down with a slingshot.

    What the disclosure says to me is the NSA is a bunch of bureautards abusing us with expesive toys that we bought them. Snowden should get amnesty and RUN for president. We could have Assange for Secretary of State. What the hell, if Hillbillary could screw it up, I imagine Assange would be a spectacular success. Russian relations would be strangely good, I'm sure.

    Why not let the kids know they are protected wherever they are in a school. Having cops IN schools helps, but is impractical and costly.
    Educating radical anti-gun drones is the solution to the problem, unless, of course, you actually have to call in a cult deprogrammer or exorcist.
    I think a hunters safety/ target practice program, beginning in middle school is a great idea as well. They were fine programs when we had them.
    Putting more people on the range, more often and letting the same people concealed and open carry later on will take crime WAY down. Education SHOULD begin at school age, BEFORE some kid disrespectfully mishandles a weapon to let us all know his "special" feelings. Train them what a weapon IS and IS NOT for. Give them a sport where any kid, who can physically and mentally handle a weapon can compete on an even field with their peers. You don't even have to be a JOCK, or good at chess for that matter.
    It's just a matter of doing something sane and rational to solve a problem. Get the family down to the range. Tired of bowling? Too cold to go to the lake?
    Get the family involved. That's proactive.

    NRA didn't have any more to do with that than NOW had to do with your menstrual rant.

    Perhaps an education in what you are talking about could eventually replace the embarrassment you would feel at your emo regurgitation of cliche' estrogen whining popularized in dumb blonde jokes.

    Arm the teachers. No different than arming a cop. Train the teachers( hey, if this is a problem, it's time to adapt to it, Liberal whining is as good as a UN decision any day. Let's try pro-active approaches instead of the same old shit.) Deploy the teachers. ESPECIALLY in bad neighborhoods in liberal cities with massive urban decay.

  10. Re:My Question is on Indiana State Police Acknowledge Use of Cell Phone Tracking Device · · Score: 2

    Police are selected in the end, by possessing a lowish I.Q., when they run the battery of psych tests during the hiring process. (in large cities) This keeps independent thinkers from exercising judgement calls when on the job, something police shouldn't be doing. Police aren't supposed to think, they are supposed to enforce the law without judging relevance of a situation. Therefore we select the dummies.
    I would look to the city or county administrators, like, the mayors office for the final playground of that data. Look for the lawyers to party when it's found out.

    LOL, we got an armored SWAT buggy too. So far they've used it to ride to a stand off with an armed meth head, and probably "drove it" to the airport last week for the "Islamic" terrorist with the phony bomb.(Disgruntled airport employee nutball, turned Muslim and bought "components" from an undercover FBI flunky, needless to say, nothing exciting happened). Yeah, I bet it's got a sound system that keeps them groovin when they're movin. Must've been worth every penny since WE paid for it. BTW , fuck the cops.

    It really depends on what kind of year the company would be having. I understood this is a small shop, small shop politics are the environment. Owners still look for the profit and have to keep the shop running smoothly to compete. Sometimes bottlenecks get Roto-Rooter. 'S a fact, man.

    I'll say it again; if you are selling your songs and expecting a profit, you are WRONG!
    Doing the same thing over and over and expecting some different outcome is well...you fill in the blank.
    Forget the damn industry. If you operate within the bounds of the industry business model you are and will be f**ked.
    Operate on a level playing field with the internet and replace the industry model.
    1. Give your music away, it's the best way to stay in peoples minds and on their players. Obviously jingle writers can't but that's a direct market with fewer middlemen. Not music anyway, it's jingles.
    2. Sell your performances. Book the hell out of yourself, play where it pays.
    All this is very basic and I have a much more detailed outline on how to be a musician, make money, spread your fame and help kill the music industry.
    We really DON'T need middlemen to choose the music we hear, promote random artists in spite of lack of talent, create a model that excludes non-signed artists, legislate our freedoms away, tie up our courts and attack people for sharing music which has no business being copyrighted to begin with.
    Be your own "music industry", spread the work between band, friends and family.
    Forget what you know, we make the future.
