A bunch of cannibals caught a group of missionaries and were getting their big soup pot going when the Witch Doctor runs up.

Posted this on our last thread...

If you are flying on most US major airlines starting in May, heir checked baggage allowance is 1 piece of luggage... It's $25 to $50 more for more luggage...

Some airlines will allow 2 free of charge if you bought your tix early...

Just another airline tax...

re: #5 tfc3rid

Not really an airline tax - just a way of artificially keeping the listed fares lower. They fee and expense upwards to deal with the higher fuel costs, rather than raise ticket prices.

If you don't bring much luggage with you on your trips, it's not a problem. If you keep your weight on your baggage low, it's not a problem. When you start adding baggage, the airlines need to recoup the higher costs for carrying that baggage.

Yemeni girl, 8, gets divorce after forced marriage

A Yemeni court on Tuesday granted a divorce to an eight-year-old girl whose unemployed father forced her into an arranged marriage this year, saying he feared she might be kidnapped.

"I am happy that I am divorced now. I will be able to go back to school," Nojud Mohammed Ali said, after a public hearing in Sanaa's court of first instance.

Her former husband, 28-year-old Faez Ali Thameur, said he married the child "with her consent and that of her parents" but that he did not object to her divorce petition.

In response to a question from Judge Mohammed al-Qadhi, he acknowledged that the "marriage was consummated, but I did not beat her."

So they're supposed lug you and as many bags as you want to drag along with you for the same price as me and one small overnight bag?

I guess a restaurant should charge me the same for an appetizer as they would charge you for a 4 course meal !

re: #19 tfc3rid

it is cheaper to think ahead and UPS your stuff to the hotel.

Many hotels will accept packages for guests that haven't arrived yet if you tell the Hotel about it ahead of time.

There's a map that UPS has to list the time it takes for ground shipments to arrive. If you get there saturday, send it early enough to get there thursday.

Takes more planning, but it is better than having lost luggage, and cheaper than 25 bucks.

If you're going on a CRUISE for a WEEK (cost starts at $1800 +) and you'rer flying to get there and back in the 1st place ,, I doubt an extra $25 is a deterrent !

by the way, line your fingers up one key to the right when trying to hit the . key.

I drove from OK to MN two summers ago, 200 bucks for gas. Plane tickets would have been 300 a piece. Since there were two of us, we'd be looking at 100 a piece for gas or 300 a piece to fly.

Well, not exactly. They're still hedging even at today's prices. With fuel prices expected to go up, that will help them in the long run.

That, and they deliver exactly what they promise for their flights, not to mention their on-time record.

So 15 hours of driving (one way) at an average of 50 miles an hour (factoring in stops for food/gas) is 1500 MILES one way ,,,, 3000 MILES round trip ,,,, on $110 fo GAS ,,,,, I'm skeptical !

Iran Among 10 Bionanotechnolgy Pioneers
Apr 14, 2008

Iran has turned to become one of the few countries mastering the biotechnology and nanotechnology in the world, a health official said on Sunday.

The head of Health Commission at Iran's Majlis (the parliament), Omidvar Rezaei made the remarks Sunday in an interview with Alalam satellite TV network.

Speaking on the occasion of Health Week, the official said hailed Iranian scientists for their thriving in the fields of new technologies.

That's right.

From Washington, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, goes to New York City. The Papal visit concludes on Sunday April 20 with a morning ceremony at Ground Zero; family members of 9/11 victims are special invitees.

On Sunday afternoon, His Holiness will celebrate Mass at Yankee Stadium -- I believe at 2:00pm.

"I haven't been able to get permission to go into Gaza. I would like to. I asked for permission. But I was turned down. But maybe we can find a way to circumvent that," Carter said.

All of the border crossings between Israel and Gaza are controlled by the Jewish state. Egyptian forces are stationed at Gaza's southern border, which is largely closed."

===

umm Rooters assholes...

Israel only controls the ISRAELI side of those border crossings. You know, like other all the other nations that control their own border crossing points - or at least try to control them? You lying assholes do know that we the general public have access to something called GoogleEarth these days? We can see the trucks lined up at the Egyptian/Gaza border crossings - in full color and 1 meter resolution - for free. We know that border isn't "largely closed" to anybody that wants to get into Gaza. The Egyptian government isn't real thrilled about people leaving Gaza by way of that border crossing, but I'm sure Rooters doesn't have any comment on why that is.

umm Mr Worst US President in history...

Did you ask the Egyptians? Did your Secret Service detail inform you that they cannot guarantee your protection inside of the Gaza Strip and why?

Go away peanut farmer, just go the fuck away.

Apropos of nothing in particular, if you have not yet seen the original film version of Ben Hecht's play The Front Page, starring Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien, find it and watch it.

It is, first and foremost, a great, great movie--fantastic ensemble cast, crackling dialogue with double-entendres galore, etc. Second, it will let you know that the slantedness and laziness of the news media is nothing new.

ELCA denomination, but inside the beltway of Northern Jihadist Virginia, not far from one of the largest mosques in the East Coast.

Yet someone from our lefty congregation was one of the first at the Pentagon on 9/11, with Fire & Rescue. We do have a few good folks left, but we're no longer where Nixon's Defense Secretary worshipped on Sundays:

"James Rodney Schlesinger (born February 15, 1929) was United States Secretary of Defense from 1973 to 1975 under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He became America's first Secretary of Energy under Jimmy Carter.

While Secretary of Defense, he opposed amnesty for draft dodgers, and pressed for development of more sophisticated nuclear weapon systems. Additionally, his support for the A-10 and the lightweight fighter program (later the F-16) helped ensure that they were carried to completion. Ford eventually dismissed Schlesinger for his "aloof, frequently arrogant manner."

re: #105 Killgore Trout

No Boston concert? It's a pretty big Catholic stronghold.

Unfortunately, no. Boston is not on the Papal itinerary during this visit to the US.

But I can add one thing --

Each and every of Pope Benedict's scheduled events -- convocations, speeches, celebratory Masses -- have been carefully chosen and choreographed to deliver a holistic and specific message. In addition to Mass at Yankee Stadium, for the first tmie ever, a Roman Catholic Pope will celebrate Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral and his visit to Ground Zero should be viewed as an undeniably strong commentary on the Church's stand regarding the events there.

This Pope is a strong advocate of America and a critically important ally in the War on Terror.

Prosecutors asked that the Paris court hand the 73-year-old former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros ($23,760) for saying the Muslim community was "destroying our country and imposing its acts".

380 Fat Jolly Penguin  Tue, Apr 15, 2008 1:31:32pm

Just dropping by for a second, thought I'd share this e-mail from my dad:

Letter from one angry woman:

Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care!

Maybe you've seen it before, but I hadn't. Have a good day lizards; I'll be lurking...

So, Obama sees the world through arugula colored glasses. No wonder he's bitter.

You know who else is bitter (well, if he could feel anything anymore); yet another Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist sees the world from the 9th plane of hell. The thing from that article I found curious was the fact that the IDF operation came under anti-tank and artillery fire. One has to wonder where the terrorists got those materials from? Stan? Iran? The friendly folks of Fatah?

It's pretty interesting, the Nazis took their time, adjusting the pressure a little more, day by day, week by week, month by month.

Not so fast. I think his UN speech is going to cause a lot of trouble. I suspect he's going to make thinly veiled references to the US and Israel's abuse of power, oppression and warmongering. I think he's going to bring up Gitmo and US human rights abuses. He's been very critical of Bush and the war in Iraq. We'll see how far he's going to go on this.

I do hope that, that is not the case.
What I would like to see is some appropriate criticism of Islam.

Bill Maher: Pope ‘Used to be a Nazi’; Compares Church to Cult, Bear Stearns

Bill Maher, true to form on his "Real Time" program on HBO on Friday, went on a tirade against Pope Benedict XVI and the Catholic Church, only days before the Pope’s visit to the U.S.. He stated that the Pope "used to be a Nazi" and compared him to a cult leader. He then went on to call the Church a "child-abusing religious cult" and "the Bear Stearns of organized pedophilia." "And that’s the Church’s attitude: 'We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it,' which is fine, far be it from me to criticize religion."

Pope Benedict XVI and jimmy carter are currently offering all of us a true contrast in morality. Let's call it "The Pontiff and the peanut farmer."

The Pontiff visits the United States of America because he has affection for our great country. He knows a moral country when he sees one. And he should know.

The peanut farmer visits the scumbags of hamas and the plo. They are proud purveyors of terrorism for over 40 years. And their spiritual icon is adolf hitler, a man whom The Pontiff would have no use for.

Uh? I found the pieces of chicken to be small and overpriced for what I got. I'll stick with Popeye's. New Orleans spicy, please.

Uh? What does that mean? My remark was not condescending; what's with the 'tude in return?

I've gotten less-than-good food at a Chick-Fil-A. I took it back to the counter and it was replaced immediately. I wrote the corporate office complimenting the management of the store and received a handwritten thank-you.

Popeye's fried pigeon is wonderful. Now that's small chicken.

Pope Benedict XVI and jimmy carter are currently offering all of us a true contrast in morality. Let's call it "The Pontiff and the peanut farmer."

The Pontiff visits the United States of America because he has affection for our great country. He knows a moral country when he sees one. And he should know.

The peanut farmer visits the scumbags of hamas and the plo. They are proud purveyors of terrorism for over 40 years. And their spiritual icon is adolf hitler, a man whom The Pontiff would have no use for.

Sometimes it really IS that simple.

Do you think the secret service will give extra protection to carter when he comes back to the US?

I'm reading "The Pianist" now about a person inside of the ghetto during that time.

The Polish ghetto uprising was also portrayed powerfully in a tv movie about the previous Pope, John Paul, as played by Jon Voight. I highly recommend that tv production of only two years' back.

Yes. A study in contrasts.

I'm quite sure this former (and still worst) US President timed his visit with the terrorists to coincide with Pope Benedict's visit to the US -- so as to call even greater attention to his kabuki theater. Like visiting the grave of Yassar Arafat and laying a commemorative wreath there.

I had the biggest thrill of my life (slight exaggeration) last weekend when I went outside and blew away...I mean blew away!....five light bulbs on the wood pile. Five in a row! Whooooo!
Okay, it was just with an air gun.
But I think....no, I know....I am ready for the next step.....which will be Mr. Wolf's 22 target pistol, which is the handgun my son uses. (It's the only one Mr. Wolf will let him use until he is 18.) Next weekend we're going to the target range.....and I'm no longer a nervous wreck. A little nervous...but not so bad.
Anyway, y'all did a lot to get me moving. I needed a push. And my son's idea of starting w/ BBs was a great idea. I really think that this mild-mannered, middle-aged lizard lady is finally going to put her money where her mouth is & become a pistol-packin' mama!

JFK plot suspect committed in Trinidad

A Muslim cleric suspected in an alleged plot to blow up New York's John F. Kennedy Airport has been hospitalized in Trinidad after suffering a mental breakdown, his lawyer said Monday. Kareem Ibrahim has wept, rambled incoherently [IT'S CALLED PRAYER] and often appeared agitated in recent meetings, said defense attorney Farid Scoon, who is trying to block his client's extradition to the United States. "He has been delusional, paranoid, with changes of personality," Scoon told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "It's not like you're speaking to somebody who's absolutely out of it, but if you sit long enough with him, you see he's not with it." Trinidadian authorities hospitalized Ibrahim on April 7, removing him from a jail where he had been held pending U.S. attempts to extradite him and two other men in the alleged plot. The other two suspects, Abdel Nur and Abdul Kadir, both from Guyana, are fighting their extradition as well.

I'm sensing a pattern.

Back in the 1930s, hamburger joints were commonly called "whitefronts"; white tile or white glass panels on a diner or lunchcounter's street facade signaled "cheap eats" from a block away.

White Castle is simply the most successful surviving "whitefront" chain, having morphed into freestanding drive-ins when car culture overtook streetcar culture.

When then morphed into the fast food resturant when the McDonald brothers did away with their carhops in San Bernadino, California. One Ray Kroc learned about their operation when he came to find out why they needed so many Mixmasters.

7.62 x 39 shares the same bullet diameter as the 7.62 x 54r, but that's pretty much it. The Russians have long since switched to 5.45 x 39mm.

/what a comedian

Maher's uneducated defamations against the Church, and Pope Benedict in particular, provide a near-perfect example of why main stream broadcast media distribution systems are seeing their business models gradually destroyed.

As Maher exemplifies, these businesses churn out increasingly poor quality content and they seem to have the uncanny ability of alienating their viewership -- in this case, the nation's 70 million Roman Catholics. Alienated viewers do not watch these shows, and ratings decline, meaning advertisers pay less and less for their increasingly ineffective 30:second advertisements to run.

A death spiral.

I'd encourage Mr. Maher to target childhood cancer victims for his next round of sophomoric insults. That should help his ratings decline even faster.

Nope - they're what you'd call 'white thrash', people who live on state handouts, have children by different fathers, not being married, of course.

Why is that?.....easier to carry more ammo?

That, and lesser recoil. Full auto with an old-fashioned rifle cartridge is impossible to control in a weapon light enough to carry.

The last successful one-man weapon with full-auto capabilities AND a "full-size" rifle cartridge was the Browning BAR. Even then, it was sparsely issued and the gunners were trained to fire in bursts.

After the .30M1 (.30-'06), the military adopted the 7.62 x 51 NATO (.308 Winchester, basically) round. It is also too powerful to get the MAJORITY of troops on a target in full-auto. The Army tried and tried to tame it, with little success. Our Japanese friends had to issue low-pressure ammo and adjust their rifles to even shoot the M-14.

Hence the M-16, the 5.56 NATO (.223) round, and decades of arguments. ;)

Nope - they're what you'd call 'white thrash', people who live on state handouts, have children by different fathers, not being married, of course. They don't need to learn anything because they don't need to work, because they've got a better life living on hand-outs than us hard-working, tax-paying idiots.

One thing which is tickling us pink though is that our Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is also visiting your country - and nobody is noticing him because everybody is talking about the visit of the Pope.
Hilarious!

Yeah - unfortunately he thinks he's called to bring all faiths together, and is setting up a foundation to have interfaith talks with all the muslim organisations in Great Britain - and as we know from the state our country is in, what with mulitculturalism, religious hate crime (only when its against the poor suppressed muslims, not when its against the christians ..) and rampant political correctness - we are not amused!

He's the one under whose regime city councils are now calling the Christmas season 'Winterval', so as not to offend muslims, and he's the one under whose regime the crosses in multifaith chapels in crematoria were removed, because it offended muslims ...
Oh yes, Tony Blair my be quite sincere in his personal faith, but after what he did to our country, he's know here as Tony Bliar.

If people want to believe this, it is fine with me (obviously, it's America where we mind our own business and keep our hands to ourselves).

I optimistically think logical people weigh down the ones who are bored with the current world and want the fireworks ASAP.

Did you read the front page at Fox early this morning? The story about the famine and wheat riots in four different large countries in the world? It included interviews with several bakers here in the US that were having to raise their prices dramatically. One commented that he expected wheat prices to go up sharply over the summer and his prices to follow - if he could even find wheat to buy by fall. Not just dying bees.

Wars & rumours of wars - if you include things like the no go zones of France, the running battles on our southern border and so on, it would be far, far quicker to make a list of where there are not wars or rumours.

I optimistically think logical people weigh down the ones who are bored with the current world and want the fireworks ASAP.

re: #814 OldLineTexan

Prodigies happen. Mitchell Paige, USMC, picked up a M1917 machine gun and fired it from the hip while chasing Imperial Japanese soldiers on Guadalcanal. Not the standard method of use for a belt-fed MG.

Guadalcanal was not the standard method of warfare, so perhaps it is fitting.

I've heard of a bit of resentment from the USMC regarding being (more or less) abandoned there on that island, left alone to fight a constantly resupplied Japanese enemy and, like the superheros that they are, winning.

They'd make a comic book of it, but no one would believe it.

If Obamanation is elected, the US government will turn against Israel. What does that leave? Australia and Canada? If the US goes, those could fall as well.

That sounds about right. Barry shares the world view of the racist/ anti Semitic, Reverend.
I think both cling somewhat to their past Islamic roots.
An Obama Administration would seek to prosecute past government officials for alleged war crimes. It would make an all out financial war on the middle class, redistributing the wealth.
The war on terror would morph into a reconciliation with terrorists.
And what kind of a freak show do you think that an Obama cabinet would be?

A VDH classic: You couldn't make all this up...

Did you catch this?
VDH guts BHO.

So here we have the essential Obama, a walking paradox between the postmodern hip-Ivy-Leaguer who sneers at middle-class America’s supposed prejudices and parochialism, while at the same time courting an anti-Enlightenment, prejudicial demagogue like Jeremiah Wright. For free trade or anti-free trade? For 2nd-amendment rights or not? Post-religious or pious and fundamentalist? For public campaign financing or not? A uniter of various groups or someone who sees America in terms of “they”? Straight-talking or someone who evokes "context" to explain away the inexplicable?

Again, we will see more and more of these condescending statements of the Michelle Obama strain, more and more of Revs. Wright, Meeks, Lee and others peddlers of division like them, and more and more clues to a long hostility to Israel—in what will eventually become the most disastrous chapter in recent Democratic history.

And pundits keep wondering why Hillary won't give up?

Blair took brickbats to stand by Bush. History will avenge them.

Yes - but what we cannot forgive either him or his then chancellor and now Prime Minster is the way they have pinched the budgtes of our brave soldiers, so that they went out to fight with the worst possible equipment - and this is still going on.
Our soldiers had to borrow their boots from your soldiers - and had to buy some themselves. Their quarters back here a disgrace, they even have to pay local property taxes on their hovels, serving or not - and under Blair the special hospitals for wounded soldiers have been closed, war or not.
Now our poor, brave lads have to go into normal hospitals, get on waiting lists, and are told not to wear their uniforms in hospital because it could offend the muslims.
Blair has stood up with President Bush - but his courage is very much diminished by the way he and his ministers have neglected and abused our forces, who pay with their blood.

Ok, since this is a Pope thread I would like to talk about John Hagee's book Jerusalem Countdown. It is the book in which he talked about Pope Urban and the Crusades. The book is fantastic in that it talks so much about the blessings of the Jews. While most Christians don't quite understand those Jews who do not like us (Ploome Hiney being one) it is only now that I understand why. The cross to us brings hope, to Jews like Ploome it brings death. Pope Urban didn't just send the Crusaders to kill the Muslims, he sent them to kill the Jews too. And they did slaughter them believing they were doing their Christian duty. It is through loving Israel and the Jews that we Christians are truly blessed. Just thought I'd mention that the book isn't anti-Catholic but it did dispelled the myth that the Jews are no longer the Chosen People, which some churches teach. Also, from experience, the older Catholics did believe (and some still do) that the Jews killed Christ. It wasn't until the last Pope that reconciliation took place and he denounced that belief.

Just my thoughts.

I was not referring to you or to Pastor Hagee. I was referring specifically to the Pope you are talking about and others like him down the centuries who have encouraged the killing and oppression of Jews.

To me, Jesus Christ was first and foremost a Jewish rabbi. To kill or oppress the Jews is to kill or oppress Jesus Christ himself.

And I agree with you about both Obama and Wright. Whichever Jesus it is they claim to represent, their words & actions show loud and clear that they have never met the real Jesus.

re: #865 savage_nation

What is the difference between the various orders? I know the Jesuits are teachers but what do the Franciscans do? I should know since I'm Catholic but i dont.

There are many differences. Franciscans were founded on the person of St. Francis and they imitate him in severe poverty and serving the poor. Dominicans were founded by St. Dominic in the 13th century also to preach to a people that had been led astray by many false teachings, such as the Cathars had done in saying that the material world (flesh) is evil and only the spirit is good. This dualist nonsense had to be stopped and Dominic realized that only through educated and serious preaching could this heresy end. So we are the Order of Preachers...and we preach...a lot!

As for the musings I've read concerning God's influences on history, or, what Jesus might do in the final days, or, at judgment? If any of us came before Jesus, especially unbelieving in His existence, we would quake in mortal fear as our past flashes before us, and beg forgiveness. (This is where the argument that being a good person, alone, is good enough.)

The thing about Biblical prophesy and the timing of the End of the Age... just remember: If the prophesy is true (and I do believe it is), no man can "hurry it up" by trying to second-guess what the parts of the prophesy means and nudge those parts forward. Anyone who tries to is doomed to failure. On the other hand, when the time actually comes... no power on Earth can stop it!

I would not be too worried about someone trying to push it along: they don't have the power to pull it off. About the only thing they can do is make themselves look like idiots by trying to.

And that is something I personally cannot forget or forgive.

Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhmmmmmm..... Who controls the budget in the UK? I know here in the USA it is NOT the President that does. In fact, he has no say in the budget or how the money gets divvied up, but he sure gets the blame for it from the BDS types! I imagine it's the same in the UK.

One thing to remember when viewing "reverend" Wright or Barrack Hussein Obama or zillions of other "Christians" down through the centuries: Calling yourself a Christian does not make it so. Claiming to follow Jesus does not mean that you are following the correct one.

Yup. "Depart from me, I never knew you!" Jesus will tell these false Christians.

Even if they can't pull it off themselves, they can cause trouble and misery to people all over the world, including their neighbors. They poison the friendliness of the U.S. for sure. They meet failure, but with lots of harmed, shunned, harrassed people along the way.

re: #892 Sunlight

So, you're suggesting that we shouldn't pay attention to prophesy at all?

I'm sorry, but I think that would be even more reckless than the consequences you expect could come out of those that might misuse or abuse these prophesies. We still have to be prepared for when the prophesied events actually come to pass.... if only to make sure as many people as possible are spiritually ready[1] to be taken up to meet the Lord in the air...

[1] (That is, they'd have their affairs in order, and have turned their lives back to God.)

Incidentally, if you think you're going to stop people from "causing trouble and misery" vis a vis the process of misapplying prophesy... if you think by suppressing knowledge or by discouraging people from paying attention to prophesy you'll stop Bad Things from happening... I'm sorry, there's no power on Earth that's going to stop that, either. Stubborn, bullheaded people will be stubborn, bullheaded people no matter what kinds of schemes you might think will discourage them. In fact, all you might do is make them even more bullheaded by trying to stand in their way.

It's like all those naive Lefties that think if we collect and eliminate all guns, that the world will become a peaceful place. That ain't gonna happen, either.
