    NHL 2013 - 2014 Season Thread

    I dunno, I think Luongo has been pretty damn consistently good as well, although King Henrik is on another level. Nothing will ever justify Luongo's contract, but he's been one of the top 5 goalies in the league for a long time. 12 seasons with a save percentage of .915 or better, minus three...

    War with Syria

    Yeah, I'm sure that will actually happen. Obama asks Congress's approval to make a limited strike on Syria after it gases a few thousand of it's own people, so that he can launch a massive attack against Iran, which will kick off a larger regional war and would be likely to see a shitload more...

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    Not if it was Mount Kosciuszko. Shit, even Kilimanjaro is basically a moderately difficult hike and with most tour companies you have porters to carry your shit. 95% of the people who attempt it make it to the top, and youknowthere's a lot of old, out of shape, woefully unprepared people who try...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    So I was right: this entire thing was one gigantic, retarded, moronic misunderstanding and there wasn't any attempts at scamming going on. Just both sides being complete fucking idiots. Not trying to insult you Onoes, but there's really not much else that can be said about this sordid affair.

    Answer the question above you, no matter what it is

    Probably New Zealand. That place and seemingly everyone in it is all about having a good time. Who would you rather read you bed time stories? Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, or Laurence Fishburne?

    War with Syria

    He's an idiot. It's been pointed out to him repeatedly in the past that China controls 95% of theproductionof rare earths, not the actual amounts of them. Because they're horrifically polluting to produce. The US, Canada, and Europe could produce rare earths, but aren't competitive because of...

    War with Syria

    The US could steamroll the Syrian missile defenses in a couple days. But it's modern enough that there might be a few losses. And yeah, I don't really see what SAMs are going to do about Tomahawks. I don't think that Syria has any defense against those.

    War with Syria

    Fair enough, and I understand that. I'm not trying to hide in the ambiguity. It's just a reality of this particular situation and geopolitics in general. Sorry I don't have any simple, concrete answers, but my general feeling is that if the Assad regime can be shown to have conclusively used...

    War with Syria

    1. I'm not, and have stated as such. I can see the logic in rebels using them to incur an attack on the regime, and think that caution needs to be taken in getting involved in case that's actually what happened. 2. Dependent on what evidence of chemical weapons usage they're able to come up...

    War with Syria

    Strawman. No, I'm not advocating "policing the world" in any and all situations where a government is attacking it's own citizens. However in the case of using WMD on it's own citizens, yes, I do think that some sort of a response is required.

    War with Syria

    That hurts bro. First of all, what does that have to do with whether action is warranted or not? Second of all, outside of the US and Britain, no other country gave more of it's lives for the effort in Afghanistan. Fuck you cunt. I do remember, just fine. The differences are like night and...

    War with Syria

    Oh yeah and as far as all the conspiracy theory bullshit goes, it's laughable. Maybe there's some vested interests in the US (Lockheed etc) that would love to see another hot war in the Middle East. As far as Obama is concerned though, he's done his best to stay the fuck out of Syria to this...

    War with Syria

    Are you retarded? Citation please. The Assad family has long been on the US shitlist. There was some hope that Bashar would be better than daddy given that he was Western educated and so on, but that was just some speculation in foreign policy and journalism circles when he came to power. The US...

    When that family is the Assad's, I'd have to say yes.

    lol, that's cause she was trying to actually measure shit. Like most women, actual measurements are largely a mystery. I think I must have told her that a cup is about 250ml about a dozen times and she still couldn't grasp it by the end of the trip. When she's cooking in a real kitchen, not just...

    There's that, for sure. Also, she's a pretty damn good cook, while I am not. So I can sit and play a video game or surf the web for an hour or whatever while she slaves away in the kitchen. But mostly sex.

    There's not many funds that will look so hot if you start the comparison right before the tech bubble bursting. On the other hand, if you look at the performance since early 2009, it's over doubled in 4 years. If you want a quick, simple, easy read on why trying to beat the market is largely...

    Shitty graph is shitty:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogra...B41.5D.5B42.5D The total population of Russia only increased markedly from 2011 to 2012, otherwise the changes are well within margins of error. And even in that year the natural change was still negative, although it was finally...

    So no, you don't have any citation to back up your claim that "Russian population has been on the rise for almost half a decade ". Thanks for confirming that.

    Citation please! From what I can tell, only in 2012 has there been a significant uptick in the Russian population. Otherwise it has at best stabilized from 2007-2012. http://www.tradingeconomics.com/russia/population I don't really give a shit, I just like arguing small points of fact...

    She was actually always quite apologetic later in the day when she knew she was cranky, and the next day would make a herculean effort not to be cranky. Then the day after she'd slip again. It was pretty funny. Funniest for me really was the first morning when she was making oatmeal. She had...

    I loved my sweet little Honda 50CC when I was 5-6 years old. Until some asshole stole it.

Probably better...

    No shit. The earlier you start worrying about it, the less of a problem it is. Getting a head start on retirement savings is fucking huge. Although I agree you don't want to live like a pauper your whole life just to get there a couple years earlier. Spent 7 days in the wilderness hiking the...

    There might have been a couple others that were a touch lighter, but they had their own compromises as well. Hilleberg specializes in 4 season tents, so you might want to give their product line a look. Chopping wood with a shotgun is glorious.
