Gerry52 User ID: 5789790 United States 04/17/2013 08:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am wondering about NK and why everyone is just ignoring the severe threats they made. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36003083 Because doing anything but ignoring them is a lose lose situation. We know why they are doing what they are doing based upon past performances. This time Obama or someone in his administration has decided to not reward bad behavior. I know the voices aren't real, but man do they come up with some great ideas! Semper Fi USMC Very much an Occams Razor kind of guy. Bridging the gap between "It can't happen to us" and "We're all going to die". |
Gerry52 User ID: 5789790 United States 04/17/2013 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | at least they got something right to pass today, still chuckling on how all their anti gun legislation failed to pass today. Obama was so pissed...you know people are thinking that terrorists are out to kill us and the government wants to take our guns away...no fuckin' way. Bad timing for Obama too bad, so sad. I know the voices aren't real, but man do they come up with some great ideas! Semper Fi USMC Very much an Occams Razor kind of guy.

Gerry52 User ID: 5789790 United States 04/17/2013 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | very interesting read. Quoting: LOU512 U.S. woefully unprepared in troop strength to deal with a collapse of North Korea A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry has said the U.S. is “wholly responsible” for escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula, passionately arguing that the secretive state will refuse to give up on its bid to become a nuclear power. Referring to Secretary of State John Kerry’s calls for open talks with the North, the statement said: “Recently U.S. high-ranking officials are vying with each other to talk about dialogue. This is nothing but a crafty ploy to evade the blame for the tension on the eve of a war by pretending to refrain from military actions and stand for dialogue. It is none other than the U.S which sparked off a vicious cycle of tension, pursuant to its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK by force of arms, and pushed the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the worst phase [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com] Typical NK propaganda... I know the voices aren't real, but man do they come up with some great ideas! Semper Fi USMC Very much an Occams Razor kind of guy.

Gerry52 User ID: 5789790 United States 04/17/2013 09:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm far from being a bomb expert so maybe one of the guys here has more knowledge about this stuff and can explain it to me? Quoting: Jazzed4Jesus There's a couple of things that really bother me about that bombing at the marathon. 1. Almost all of the victims suffered lower extremity injuries, indicating the bomb was lower than they were and the blast concussion traveled outward. 2. There is evidence that the bomb was filled with nails, ball bearings, etc. These are responsible for causing most of the injuries. YET: None of the windows in the buildings behind the bomb were blown out or even cracked. The lamp post globes above the bomb remained intact. Even the mailbox that the bomb was sitting next to remained intact. And now they're claiming they've found pieces of the bomb on a ROOF????? Without going into a lot of details. This IED was designed as most are to be what is called a shaped charge designed to send the explosion in a directed manner. That includes the shockwave which is what takes out most windows. Consider the IED's used in Afghanistan, they are placed on the edge of the road and the shaped charge directs its energy at vehicles travelling down the road. It would be a waste of energy for the explosion to be directed in 360 degrees when all they really need is to cover 90 or less degrees. They are going to find bits and pieces all over the place. As to why they find pieces on the roof, these pieces ricochet off curbs, the street, nearby obstructions etc and will travel in all directions. The globes are a very small target in a very large 3D space...they were just simply missed by any of the pieces of shrapnel. Hope this helps.
