pretty much everyone in israel is trained to shoot a gun bc mandatory military service. i don't think it's nearly as fetishized as it is in america tho. no "gun rights" movement.

i'd imagine JPFO to be generally anti-BAFTA as well

thx, mordy, i knew in the abstract that the israeli people and military are more closely venn-diagrammed than ours, but the lived experience or legal stuff, not so much.
interestingly the JPFO website touts the history of "gun control" as having racist origins, which is true enough afaik -- anti-panther type stuff.
― goole, Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Horsefeathers, early gun control is as much about keeping the rabble from power as anything. It's class not race (at least in semi-homogenous countries where this stuff started).

have you guys been paying attention to the whole foods ramadan thing?
Here’s a tip, Whole Foods: there is NOTHING “cosmopolitan” about Islam. In fact, Islam is the antonym to cosmopolitan. Retro is in. Retro back to the year 622 and the values of savages will NEVER be in.Whole Foods . . . For the Organically Conscious Jihadist. Way more humane because, hey, “free range chickens” can run away from the IED. allahu natural fruitbar.

those "pig facts" always annoy me
Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.
idk if some of these guys have heard but some of the other methods of removing toxins from the body are pissing and shitting. science has yet to identify a pig that can neither piss nor shit.

Oh. Wrong thread.
I enjoyed this immensely
The reasoning of the Supreme Court in 1973 in Roe v Wade relied on the philosophy of the Greek Stoics as part of the basis of its decision.
The Stoics were followers of Zeus.That same god was called Jupiter/ Olympus by the pagan Romans.The Hebrews & Israelites of the Bible knew it as Baal.
Which raises an interesting question: did not the Supreme Court in its Roe v Wade ruling of January 22, 1973 surreptitiously install Baal-worship as the official religion of the United States, in violation of the "establishment clause" of the First Article of our Bill Of Rights?
It seems like it could be a genuine concern of his. Which is nice.

The Hebrews & Israelites of the Bible knew it as Baal. What? Utter rubbish. Get one brain and one intellectual honesty.
By further extension of this kind of reasoning, giving the ruling in English, a language orginally developed to sing the praises of Woden, otherwise known as Satan, was the Court not trying to induce the unborn to listen to \m/etal?

The ANTAND THEGRASSHOPPER This one is a little different ...... Two Different VersionsTwo Different Morals
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter,so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain allsummer long, building his houseand laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprahwith the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green..'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome.
Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for thegrasshopper's sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, ChristopherColumbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant hasgotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Actretroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothingleft to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize and ramshackle, the once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.
The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.
I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant!
You may wish to pass this on to other ants, but don't bothersending it on to any grasshopper's because they wouldn't understand it, anyway
