@taiwan_girl said in A Christian Nation: The article basically ignores Asia, where I think the only majority Christian country is South Korea, and that is quite recent. I would say the article presupposes Western Culture as superior, or at least, more free.

@jon-nyc said in Amendments to the Illinois Vehicle Code: It won’t pass Agreed. Just the fact that it's being proposed by an Illinois legislator is amazing.

The thought of going to jail is enough to stop me from doing any bad things! LOL (Though probably some US prisons are pretty good when compared to some Asian prisons. In Thailand for example, you will be not doing very well if you dont have someone to bring you food on a regular basis)

But college basketball and soccer must be paid as much as the NBA/MLS teams!

When truth is not on your side, at least.

Very good choice. I'm going to differ slightly... [image: 600px-Studebaker_US.jpg] The T-34 and the Studie 2.5 ton transformed the Red Army into a mechanized force.

@Axtremus said in $620,000: Is that a lot or not much? How much guns and ammo can you buy with that money? 500,000 rounds of ammo and a $120,000 worth of guns.

@Copper said in Veteran's Day out, Eid al-Fitr in: On March 17, 1776 the British evacuated Boston. This allowed the Miks to have a Saint Patrick's holiday by officially calling it Evacuation Day. Now, most people in Boston believe that Saint Patrick's Day is a holiday. But officially it passes the DEI test that forbids any recognition of white male achievement. Still, it's nice that they celebrate the Brit who brought some degree of civilization to the Island.

Apropos, someone rang our bell at 5:30 am this morning. By the time I got out of bed and dressed, they were gone. There was a large box there which had been delivered last night, which I didn't bother taking in, and it was partially open. Dog food. I wonder if a package thief, after seeing what was inside, made an instant transition to helpful reminder, by ringing the bell and running away. My ADT security settings weren't right and I didn't get a record of the activity. Darn.

I watched a movie on Prime last night, with the ads. There was one commercial at the beginning and one about 30% through. Not bad. But as noted above, it'll get worse. I won't watch "freevee" movies, with similar ad content to pre-internet TV movies. (Unwatchable.) Well, the ads are why I stopped watching TV even before streaming was a thing. I'll have to consider whether an extra $3 is worth it for the free prime videos. I mostly watch rentals on Prime anyway.

It’s going nowhere because it’s a good no call. Steratore’ explanation was clumsy and he would like to explain it differently, but the ball was uncatchable to the receiver. It was behind him and he was not going to be able to adjust. That turns it into incidental contact.

The British knew it was there and never attempted to breach it.

I don’t support disturbances in general and certainly not disturbances of any sort that would facilitate cause to invoke the Emergencies Act.

How much did it cost Disney to write that warning? I bet it is measured in man-years. Yes, I know men are bad.

I dunno. Convict him in Texas...
