Global warming killed 150,000 people in 2000 and the death toll could double again in the next 30 years if current trends are not reversed, the World Health Organization said Thursday.
I may have done it, but not making fun. I was coming down on the French because their energy costs are so artificially high due to bogus ecological concerns that most people can't afford air conditioning.
The College Republicans at the University of Washington sponsored an affirmative action bake sale on Oct. 7. CR President Jason Chambers reported, "Approximately 150 students were gathered around our booth discussing the issue [AA] by about 12:30 when our booth was attacked by leftist students who disagreed with our stance on affirmative action." The Leftists threw cookies to the ground, tore down the display and physically attacked one vendor.
When the leftists began making threats, one of the cookie rebels had called the police because he feared the discussion -- hitherto civil -- might turn violent. Chambers explained, "Unfortunately, rather than step in and arrest our attackers, the police stood by while the University said we, the peaceful ones, had to shut down because WE were creating an unsafe environment. ... Our protests that the CRs were peacefully demonstrating while the leftists got violent fell upon deaf ears."
because she didn't get any of it for 78 years maybe?
because her mother was denied justice for the crime committed against her?
What crime? It is my understanding that Strom began financial support for his daughter in 1941. I know that is a little late but for all I know about this maybe that is when he found out she was his daughter. It does sound that he tried to be responsible at some point, although I am sure he did it for his own benefit.
WASHINGTON — The National Park Service must revive a plan scrapped by the Bush administration to ban snowmobiles from Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, a federal judge ordered Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan said the Bush administration should not have set aside a Clinton administration plan that would have banned snowmobiles in favor of mass-transit snow coaches, which would reduce pollution in the parks.
I don't see on what basis this Judge decided he had the authority to pick which rules should be followed. I find this quote from the judge's opinion quite funny:
"Indeed, there is evidence in the record that there isn't an explanation for the change, and that the (study that led to the new rules) was completely politically driven and result oriented."
I believe that executive branch can make political decisions. It is the judicial branch that isn't supposed to do that.
again what crime? I do not know when he she she was his. I also do not know what the law was between 1925-1941 on non-support. Maybe she was supported just fine by her mother. I just don't know. I doubt you do either.
The proposed snowmobile reduction and then ban in Yellowstone and other parks?...More madness by the left.
The 2 stroke sleds are much cleaner than even a few years ago. The 4 stroke sleds are virtually pollutionless. But of course, that's not good enough for wacked libs. And I wonder why in all the chaos and destruction caused by snowmobiles the bison heard has increased from 350 in the mid 60's to 3500 today?
They want to ban 469 snowmobiles a day in Yellowstone when 30,000 cars and trucks a day enter in the spring-summer-fall. No problem there. No pollution there.
you are defending a racist who raped the black "help" and hid the results for his entire life, even while trying to prevent the "nigger race", including his own daughter, from going to a school with whites.
if you think that 16 year old black maids back then had consensual sex with their racist employers, I got some South Carolina swampland to sell you. It was the son of the Master of the house being allowed to "have" the help.
Here is the man you are defending...
"I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theatres into our swimming pools into our homes and into our churches." — Strom Thurmond (R), 1948  Â
it was rape...prove otherwise...
fuck him.
BTW, what do you think about a 22 year old teacher who has sex with a 16 year old girl? Young Strom was just beginning his career as a teacher at the time.
A church that attempted to put a notice for their Christmas concert up on a public library bulletin board in Britain was told it could not do so because it might offend non-Christians, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Officials from the same library in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, however, held a party to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid at the end of Ramadan only a few days earlier.
Bridget Adams, 57, a school teacher and a member of the choir at All Saints church in High Wycombe was refused permission by library officials to display a poster stating the dates and times of its Christmas services.
Margaret Dewar, the city official in charge of libraries, was furious that folks from the church made a stink about the incident.
"I am appalled at the attitude of these so-called Christians making such a fuss about this policy,” she said. "It is quite a different thing having a party organized by a library to promote cultural understanding and accepting notices for religious services.”
So crabs is on record saying that NO 16 year old black girl would ever willingly have sex with a white male
I'm saying that isn't what happened here.
no way.
I'm saying that it's not possible for a racist who considers a 16 year old black girl an inferior creature to have consenual sex with her. Consenual sex is something that happens between two human beings, and that in that racist's mind, she wasn't even that.
So crabs is on record saying that NO 16 year old black girl would ever willingly have sex with a white male
I'm saying that isn't what happened here.
no way.
You don't know that. You obviously believe it but you don't know it. Like I said it was most likely consensual or it would have came out years ago.
Consenual sex is something that happens between two human beings, and that in that racist's mind, she wasn't even that.
Oh now you are in Strom's mind. You know everything Strom was thinking in 1925. I see. Fact is they were both human beings no matter what was in Strom's mind.
I want to point out here that Crabby is the one using the "N" word and not I.
wrong...Strom (you know, the guy you are defending) was the one using the "n" word...see the quotes?
wanna see it again...

I'm not defending him. I'm the one that posted the info to begin with. I forget my exact statement, but it was something to the extent that he was a slimeball.
I just find your reaction... weird.
I still don't understand what this means:
you understand there are fathers who actually married the girl and left them who are in jail for being a "little" late.
what sort of bullshit question is that?
You have no problem with society breaking the drug laws.
You have no problem with society breaking the drug laws.
so, you want to set the drug laws up as a straw man for raping black girls?
that you would equate the two is sorta scary...the drug laws originally got set up by spreading stories about how they made black and mexican men violently rape white women...it's the propaganda that allowed for the laws to be passed in the first place.
you understand there are fathers who actually married the girl and left them who are in jail for being a "little" late.
there are laws that say you have to provide for your child's welfare, aren't there? If you don't pay your child support, you risk going to jail, don't you?
the guy is on record as not wanting to allow her into his home, much less provide her with support.
so, you want to set the drug laws up as a straw man for raping black girls?
The law is the law. What makes you so special that you can pick and choose which laws to abide by?
there are laws that say you have to provide for your child's welfare, aren't there? If you don't pay your child support, you risk going to jail, don't you?
Ok, I think I understand your post now. Correct me if I'm wrong: There are men that actually married the girls they got pregnant, that LATER left and are in jail for child support?
Truth be told, there's little punishment for deadbeat dads.
the guy is on record as not wanting to allow her into his home, much less provide her with support.
Yeah, he's a slimeball. She was born in 1925 and he didn't support her at all until she was 15. That alone makes him a piece of shit in my book.
The good thing about all this is that, there's no way anyone with an ounce of morals could defend this guy anymore. Not only was the son of a bitch a racist, he was a flaming hypocrite. That young lady wasn't fit to drink water from the same fountain as him, but he had no problem having sex with her, and like you said, most likely raping her.
Yeah, he's a slimeball. She was born in 1925 and he didn't support her at all until she was 15. That alone makes him a piece of shit in my book.
Just a question: do we know when Strom became aware that he had this child?
That young lady wasn't fit to drink water from the same fountain as him, but he had no problem having sex with her, and like you said, most likely raping her.
Do we know how he felt about sharing the water fountain? He was a politician. Maybe he was just being a politician. Remind me not to have you on my jury JT. You will convict without sufficient evidence.
To some, yes. But everyone defines morals in different ways.
it should be a violation of the law but it isn't.
So should the seven deadly sins. And throw in stupidity and ignorance while you're at it. Seriously though, how much law do you desire to control what citizens are doing? Perhaps instead of more government on our backs an ounce of prevention might be in line. I don't mean firebombing or blocking entrances to clinics, but if this is a moral issue like you say, an I agree with you, then these morals should be passed on to the next generation. In this society people learn at a young age the value, or lack thereof, of human life from what they see around them; television, their governments, and their environments. If they aren't taught to value life (all life, not just red white and blue life) and make good decisions then this problem will never be solved. More laws and government control isn't going to solve this problem. Education and better child rearing will.
so it depends on the definition of crime now doesn't it?
Now you're starting to sound like Clinton. Just what is your definition of crime? Again, different people will have different ideas on this.
To some, yes. But everyone defines morals in different ways.
There is right and wrong. There are just some people that are not perceptive enough to see it.
So should the seven deadly sins. And throw in stupidity and ignorance while you're at it. Most stupidity and ignorance do not end a human life.
Seriously though, how much law do you desire to control what citizens are doing? It is not about control. It is about preventing the butchering of a human being.
Perhaps instead of more government on our backs an ounce of prevention might be in line. Yeah government shouldn't get in the way of killing. You should picket fort the appeal of murder laws.In this society people learn at a young age the value, or lack thereof, of human life from what they see around them; television, their governments, and their environments. I say that is largely due to liberals. They have forced religion out of schools and they promote a hedonistic life style.If they aren't taught to value life (all life, not just red white and blue life) and make good decisions then this problem will never be solved. More laws and government control isn't going to solve this problem. Education and better child rearing will. Defeating liberals would help. Taking them out positions of authority is essential.
The law is the law. What makes you so special that you can pick and choose which laws to abide by?
so, you would have obeyed the Jim Crow laws? if you had run a restaurant and black people came in and the law was that blacks couldn't eat there, would you serve them or call up sherriff and have him come jail them?
one has a moral responsibility to disobey bad laws (and I didn't learn that in Church)
There is right and wrong. There are just some people that are not perceptive enough to see it.
how about it bodine...keeping blacks out of schools and restaurants and swimming pools and churches....right or wrong?
was that "right" when when those things were laws? are they still right now?
if "right" and "wrong" are constants and the laws keep changing, how can the laws be what is right and wrong?
the drug laws are fairly new...there was a time when it wasn't against the law to smoke marijuana. was smoking marijuana a right or a wrong then?
and getting an abortion is legal...does that make it right? It used to be illegal....did that make it right?
what is against the law and what is right are not the same thing.
the laws themselves can be and often are wrong.
the drug laws are WRONG. One has a moral obligation to not obey wrong laws.

They're frickin' nuts.
who here was making fun of the French having all those people die in that heat wave?
Come on Crabby, 150,000 dead?
I don't buy it.
neither do I...but that wasn't what I asked.
I think it was Luv that originally brought it up. I think it had more to do with sarcasm than anything.
I may have done it, but not making fun. I was coming down on the French because their energy costs are so artificially high due to bogus ecological concerns that most people can't afford air conditioning.

you understand there are fathers who actually married the girl and left them who are in jail for being a "little" late.
what he did was a crime.
you are concerned about abortion, but it's shit like that that creates a demand for it.

If you read my posts again, I'm not defending anyone. I didn't even understand what the hell you were talking about.
by asking "what crime" concerning Strom and his "nigger" child, you imply that you think that what he did isn't a crime. It's defending him.
for all I know, raping a black girl wasn't a crime to the State at the time...but even so, it's still a crime in my book.

Does this apply to Kobe Bryant?
if she was a 16 year old employee of his and she gives birth to a child he doesn't even acknowledge, yes.
Is it a crime to have sex with fellow employees? Come on Crabs, you can do better than that.
there is a difference between fellow employees and a 16 year-old girl and her employer.
if they are in a position to fire you, they are in a position to take advantage of you sexually.
now...if you want to pretend that it was consenual, go ahead...like I said, I got some swampland for sale for you.
if a black man had sex with a 16 year old white girl at that same time and place, what would have happened to him?
You said it was a crime, crabs. Now tell us what crime was committed pursuant to 1925 South Carolina or federal law?
So crabs is on record saying that NO 16 year old black girl would ever willingly have sex with a white male. Amazing!
it was a crime regardless of what the law was at the time.
