  • Does This Design of Two Towers Remind You of Anything?

    December 12, 2011 at 10:33am

    In reply to MB1.

    I’m seeing a lot of offense taken on both sides here. And the offense on both sides is nothing short of STUPID. There’s NOTHING ANYWHERE that says we are to be protected from offense.

    Yes the building looks like the Twin Towers immediately after 9/11. Get over it. I don’t like the idea; I’m offended that someone would design a building that looks like that. BUT: The argument that it shouldn’t be built because it offends us is as bad as the Athiests who claim the Nativity scenes offend them, so we shouldn’t have them.

    The ONLY reasons the building shouldn’t be built is if the South Korean people don’t want it; it would cost more than the budget allotted to the building; it’s structurally unsound. If these reasons aren’t met, then they should build the building, and we should SHUT UP about it!

    Remember: There is NOTHING that says we are protected from being offended. I am offended that the Atheists want to put up a banner with the nativity scene in California saying “Religion is a Myth”. That is their right. (BTW, atheism IS a religion…)

    Those of you who are offended that they might build this building, GET OVER IT. Those of you who are offended at those who are offended, GET OVER IT.

    In the words of Tiny Tim, “God Bless .. Everyone.”

    Ah, but remember – North Carolina is the East Coast California.. Didn’t their (like TOTALLY UNcute) governor recently say that Obama should suspend congressional elections in 2012??

    Other stupid “no tolerance” incidents..

    A girl (early teens) spends the weekend with a friend. Has some “female cramps”. Friend gives her some Midol. One gets left in her backpack. Teacher finds it. Straight-A student gets suspended for a week because of a “no-tolerance drug policy”.

    A boy, 5 years old, is kicked out of kindergarten for sexual harassment. His crime? He kissed a 5 year old girl on the cheek.

    I agree – in certain places, zero tolerance is important. I drive a truck – I want to be sure the driver next to me isn’t high or drunk! I don’t like to see waitresses harassed – and have stood up to harassers on the laies’ behalf. Common sense needs to be applied, though. As in this case, saying a teacher is “cute” is NOT sexual harassment – if anything it could be considered a compliment.

    In reply to Unix.

    @TYRANNYNOMORE – actually he said “I’ve been to fifty – (hesitation) – seven states, and have one more to go, I think.” Now: was he mistaken on the number of states in the US, having been taught in Indonesia, or was he referring to the number of Islamic states? Interesting idea……. AND one worth investigating!

    Thanks for the heads-up!

    There’s one hope: MOST of the people that join the military are conservative, or else they wouldn’t be joining the military. Most believe in the Higher Calling, and believe fully in the Oath. There aren’t very many that join JUST for the bennies. IF Obucky, Soros & Co were to order the Army (say) to fire upon civilians, those generals (or admirals) would (should!) deem that order illegal, and disobey it. And MOST enlisted military – who actually have the guns – and the officers who fly the aircraft – would be HIGHLY reluctant to fire on civilians, UNLESS their base/position were under direct attack.

    In reply to dlivelli.

    Ok, my WWII interests are kicking again.. The 2atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed fewer people (including the fallout and radiation sickness, in addition to the actual blasts) that ONE of the firebomb raids over Tokyo. It was the IDEA that we would use such weapons to clear out entire cities in advance of the planned invasion of japan in 1946 that gave Hirohito the option to give total, unconditional surrender to America, when surrender was considered SO shameful that one should kill oneself before surrendering!

    Can you imagine what the psychological effect of a nuke small enough to be shot out of a field gun, with the precision of a sniper rifle at close range, and the destructive power of a 20,000 lb BunkerBuster? Knowing that we could put one of these in your window from miles away with minimal fallout would be (I think) enough to say “um… let’s think about this for a minute…”!

    @HUCKSQR – it’s not so much that we’re willing to snuff out large numbers of people, it’s the IDEA of being able and willing to, that makes the enemy stop and think a bit, thus saving lives on BOTH sides. And BTW, we’re NOT attacking people that are innocents, we’re going after those who have or are planning to do harm to us and others. The USA is attacking for defense. Remember the old saying “The best defense is a good offense”? That’s what we are doing!

    @BSDetector -

    One thing you missed – Hitler never submitted. In his insanity, he fully believed in the middle of April 1945 that he could still win the war. In 1943, Rommel begged Hitler to sue for peace at that time, and demand that to stop aggressions, Germany could keep what they had taken. If Hitler had done that, our world map would have looked a lot different.

    I’m one of those nut jobs that studies the past (and WWII has always interested me) in the hopes of learning from our past mistakes – and have studied Hitler and Hirohito as much as I have been able to..

    In reply to thegreatcarnac.

    Don’t need anything as drastic as a nuclear bomb blast – just the OWS jerks coming back and becoming violent around, say, September. Obucky declares martial law, and suspends the elections “for the protection of the American people”. Or, if he loses the election, then OWS jerks get violent -say – around Thanksgiving. He declares martial law, and “postpones” the swearing-in of the next prez and Congress.

    Unless the military steps in with a coup at that point, and arrests the slimeballs for high treason, there WILL be a violent, bloody, armed revolt, leading to Civil War II. And I can see 90+% of the military siding with the People against the administration, IF they get involved.

    In reply to Richiemond.

    One thing to remember – because of contracts, the military wind’s up with $35,000 toilet seats and $19,000 hammers. I was an Avionics Tech (AT) in the Navy, and was with an A-6 squadron. One of the guys (before I got to the squadron) was in port, still on the carrier, and needed a resistor to repair a radio. On-board Stores didn’t have the one he needed, so he went ashore and to a Radio Shack (this was in the 80s, when R/S still had parts!), and bought 2 for 19 CENTS. he went back to the ship, put one in the radio, and voilà! it worked! He was court-martialed for using a “non-military spec part” – btw, that 9.5 CENT resistor cost the Gubmint around 75 DOLLARS – and it’s made by the same people!!!

    If we need a hammer, electronic part, or toilet seat, why can’t we get them for the military from the same place the civvies get them, for the same price?? Save LOTSA $$$$$.
