  recently the extremely smart (so he tells us) but comparatively inexperienced person, elected by the very smart people who live in the usa, to be their president, announced that he was limiting ties with qatar (a small arab state in the middle east) on the grounds that they were supporting terrorism.. and yet, the very next day, he authorises the sale of twelve billion us dollars worth of modern american fighters (f15s) to that small state, in which is located ... .

  " ... the biggest us military base in the middle east, al udeid.

  ten thousand american personnel are there, many of them prosecuting the air war against isis in syria and iraq.

  Different field, outlaw. They are playing the game at the mlb team park (nats stadium). The shooting was on a smaller field in nearby virginia. Local news is saying they sold 20k tickets. The nats only average 30k. Its a great night for the charity and a solidifying effect in the area

  Smiddy, your simple minded absurdo ad reductio proves only how uneducated you are regarding a topic you seem to want to pontificate on.

  Everyone in america does not have a right to carry a firearm nor to use it as they see fit. That part of VA does not allow open carry of firearma in public places (save law enforcemnt of course). Many states, including DC and Maryland (the neighboring states) have incredibly strict laws regarding how a firearm can even be transported to a firing range (unloaded, locked in a case and seperate from any munitions). Simple Violations of transport laws land otherwise law abiding citizens in jail for years. I know a man in just such a situation.

  As a resident of the aforementioned locality i cannot shoot someone for even ATTEMPTING to break into my home. They must COMPLETE the intrusion and even then i have to claim i feared for my life. For further clarification i cannot shoot someone for breaking into a car or shed or any other unoccupied property. These laws are not universal in all 50 states but they are very much so in all large liberal crime filled cities, like balitimore and dc where handguns are banned.

  Your nonsensical hyperbole falls on very deaf ears to those who actually know the law and live in the areas you obviously know nothing about. I will tell you what i tell all euros who cry tears of angst at our firearms: stay where you are. We neither need nor want your visit to our country :)

  i had given serious consideration too leaving the board.

  i rationalised my views on " muslims" we're not held by the majority so i should leave.

  but this would have been wrong thinking, instead i should appreciate the platform i was given to debate with free speech.

  While i can acknowledge the 'no true scottsman' argument lets reframe the question and ask (again):

  if a jw DID take a blood transfusion, what would we think about them? Are they a "real" jw.... or would you argue that they went against the tenannts of their reigion and wernt a true scottsman?

  I love how pointing out that islam is a problem turns into 'Muslim hate'.

  I dont hate Muslims but i can and will acknowledge that islam teaches them to act as the terrorists are acting.... would any of us be supprised to see a jw die from blood loss? Would we call a jw that died after refusing a blood transfusion a radical jw...? Or would we correctly say he or she practiced their religion as most jw's would...?

  They dont think of it as "mind control" but they absolutely believe that the sheep cant be allowed to much freedom as they would stray. I have heard that directly fron louches arrogant ass mush mouth during morning worship. They think the rules are a protection for the weak.

  I think, as is true of any board of directors (or body of elders for that matter), there are a few general personality types.

  You have a few who are there for the "right" reasons, ie they believe in the cause or company, want to help, do the right thing etc etc

  you have a few who are loyal soldiers and were asked to join the board because they wont make waves and can be manipulated

  some may not have wanted to say "no" because they thought it was an honor even if even if they didnt want the work...

  and some people want power, plain and simple.

  I saw it first hand in losche when was appointed to the gb (i was in Brooklyn unfortunately). Lunatic, full of himself, crazy ass theories that he liked to spout, liked to brag abput how many langues he spoke, talked to down american jw's about american customes and on and on...

  tight pants tony really takes the cake on that though. The final straw for me was during the "zone visit" four or five years ago when he gave the now legendary "tight pants" talk. He sumerized all his asinine self promoting rules by saying, and i quote his arrogant ass directly, "if you dont like you can take it up with jesus". That arrogant son of a bitch actually put HIS words and rules on par with jesus. Although i was fully awake already that was really the final moment of 'oh hell no' for me. And whats worse, he was directly saying he wasnt going to listen any debate about his PERSONAL rules and views. Instead, if you dont like it, talk to his imaginary brother that he gets his imaginary authority from, which is of course impossible, because its all imaginary.

  So yea, some of them may be true believers and some may be along for the ride but at least two of them are power hungry hungry asshats who know EXACTLY what they are doing and why.

  3 male passengers then get out and start stabbing / shooting people according to early reports.. but it could have been anyone for any reason, who knows, possibly jehovahs witnesses or amish.. maybe we'll never know the reason but i'm sure there will be people praying for those involved and hashtags.. thus solving the problem once and for all.. just "life in a big city" according to the muslim mayor of london, sadiq khan..

  Your such a reactionary racist son of a bitch simon. Im sure its white racist white males who want to steal from poor minorities.... or american teenagers who are followers of the colombine kids... or people emulating timothy mcvey. Whoever it was im POSITIVE it wasnt islamic nutjobs waging war on innocents. It definitely wasnt that.
