Here you go TTO. A 'soft drink' for you.

History lesson anyone?

Only one nation has ever used nuclear weapons in war.

The United States.


Other nations which have 'used' these weapons did so in testing only.

I did state that I am not a proponent of the death penalty. But there are exceptions to that...1) the killing of an on duty police officer,...2) the killing of a child.

Have you ever found a victim of murder? ....... I have.
Have you ever had to face the family of the victim? ...... I have.
Had to explain to family what happened to their loved one? .... I have.
Had to go to court, face the killer and testify? ... I have.

Actually it costs $86.09 to execute (total costs of drugs for a lethal injection) the larger costs of an execution trial come from the repeated appeals etc.which do in fact come out to more than the cost of housing a prisoner for life.(Can reach $4million in court costs.)
Yet the point remains that a man has lost his life, a family a loved one and the person guilty of the crime lives with society funding his entertainment, education and even his repeated appeals.
I am not not a proponent of the death penalty save with certain exceptions......the killing of a on duty police officer being one of them. Police officers are there to uphold the laws of a society. When they are murdered while performing those duties it is up to society to exact punishment.

The dam doesn't exist! The entire area, Israel included, is suffering from flooding due to winter storms. We get snow...they get rain.

'News' articles such as this are a great disservice to the Palestinians. When so many false 'news' stories are put out, much like the boy who cried wolf, when something real happens.....they aren't believed.

He has already found irrefutable evidence that Canada is attempting to flood the U.S. Now we will have to silence him.


So....will 20 liters of maple syrup and an R.C.M.P. stetson keep you quiet?

The statement from some that it looks that way could come from reports like this.

"But there was also grumbling and resentment over the arrival at the hospital of 100 or so troops from the US Army's 82nd Airborne division, who immediately after landing in Port-au-Prince, marched through the city's rubble-strewn streets and past its smashed businesses to take control of the hospital.

"Look at that -- they're already telling us to leave," said Shelove Cassamager, 33, who said he had come to the hospital to tend an injured relative, but was unceremoniously shown the door by the US troops."

Faster yet is the system used for Berlin drops. Hug tarmac, slide supplies out cargo door and gain altitude.

uh....like this?

Hawaii is formed by hotspot volcanism. The islands are located on the Pacific tectonic plate. Two currently active volcanoes are located on the Big Island, Kilauea, and Mauna Loa.

Historical eruptions in Hawaii have occurred at Kilauea. Mauna Loa, Loihi, Hualalai, Haleakala, and two unnamed undersea locations.

The dam mentioned by OP does not exist as far as I can find. Also no mention of it before this article. The whole area, Israel included, is flooded because of winter storms.

Read this the first time you posted it and went to find news on it. There is no independent source verifying this. Only sources stating this are Arab / Muslim sources. Also was not even able to find a dam with that name. When using Google Map it shows some location in downtown Jerusalem.

Complaints over Nexus One 'Googlephone'

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/connect/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501833&objectid=10620007


Google phone's first week box office goes ker-klunk

"Direct comparison, as Flurry points out, is difficult since Google has done no marketing and promotion, is making the Nexus available in the US only, and has (as yet) no shop-front sales via carrier partners."

Seeking a peaceful place unseen
Looking for a place of joy hidden
Searching for a place pristine
A place seemingly forbidden

Place of myth and legend
Place sought for so long
A place where troubles end
Where people live in song

Hidden by mountain mist
People travel far to find
A place which may only exist
In the dreams of the mind

No need to long voyage start
There is no secret mantra
Find peace in your own heart
To finally find Shangri-La

California wildfires ..... Canadian firefighters, aircrews

Hurricane Katrina ..... Canadian Armed Forces D.A.R.T team, Toronto and Montreal Sick Kids Hospitals, Canadian Red Cross, other Canadian organizations which built whole towns for victims (rent free for five years)

Good write T

Friday ....... my work week begins.

So the campfire still here. Nice to see some things stay.

Well if you want to let the Holy See know know how you feel about their decision here's where.

I think it's because of your eyes. They look like they have been crazy glued open.
