I'll reiterate what others are saying. I don't care to celebrate or reflect the day thousands of people were killed and initiated the deaths of thousands more. Why celebrate the times governments and other groups lose themselves and put their actions ahead of the citizens they represent?
Celebrate your family and friends. If they died in a war or some other tragedy, celebrate their birthday. Remember sharing a good time rather than reflecting on sitting next to them as they lay dying on a hospital bed with tubes down their throats and up their noses.

rufus-t-firefly: Steel doesn't have to melt to lose strength. They think that steel has to be dripping liquid to lose structural support.

It's even simpler than that. To "melt" implies flowing under its own weight, but when you have a skyscraper to hold up, that's a lot of weight.

liam76: I am jealous.

I have some from of troother OCD, wher I must point out they are an idiot, even though every non-idiot already knows this.

At my last job I shared an office with another contract who was an engineer as well, my second day on the job he tells me that it was an inside job and the Israelis did it. I had to spend half an hour explaining the mechanical properties of steel in stress.

Next month he told me he hates Jews.

LawPD: then play some Descent till bedtime

It's the highest form of patriotic.

Tat'dGreaser: Next month he told me he hates Jews.

You know who else hated Jews?

That's right.

fireclown: ~ Call my friend C.C. and tell him that he can't sleep on my sofa.

You have to call his C.O. and tell him you're not letting his soldier crash on your couch, and he needs to provide alternate quarters.

I Third that statement. Outstanding.

HST's Dead Carcass: ox45tallboy: You have to call his C.O. and tell him you're not letting his soldier crash on your couch, and he needs to provide alternate quarters.

Isn't that against the Third Amendment?

See the post I was replying to. fireclown was talking about rights he was planning to exercise today.

grimlock1972: glad to see they chose an USbased company to make the flag.

As was pointed out earlier, they apparently employ brown people with foreign-sounding names. But at least they're
US-owned.

I wonder if anyone has the balls to post that on their Facebook.

Challenge accepted

Oh i just did it. Can't wait for the backlash!

I only got 2 likes on it but no comments lol

Happy b-day!

trappedspirit: What is the purpose of those parenthesis?

Because I didn't notice the next sentence in the post I was replying to which said "She..." . I was trying to be gender neutral since in this day and age, male secretaries are not unusual. Neither are males which participate on either end of activities known as "teabagging". NTTAWWT.

daRog: Happy b-day!

The poor guy, though. Can you imagine for the rest of your life having to watch a celebrity funeral every single birthday? And not even being able to go out with your friends and have a good time because they're mopey, the waitress is depressed, the TV in the corner is showing nonstop memorial services, and the jukebox plays nothing but The Best of Rudy Giuliani (K-13 is the 9/11/2002 "First Anniversary - Extended Cut", all 22 minutes!).

You can't even go to a ball game without having to stand and listen to God Bless America, and you can't just not stand or you're all of a sudden a Bad Person.

FarkedOver: Yeah I got one like. WTF, they must know I'm trying to piss people off.

Well, depending on which people you're trying to piss off, it's a great way to clean out your "friends".

I like the pic, but I don't "like" it because I'm one of those people that are just too cool for Facebook.

Valiente: Summercat: Am I supposed to care? Should I be doing that?

I think you're supposed to be sentimental and distracted. Perhaps from the little "Made in China" tag.

I was.17, and didn't understand the world very well. Still don't.

BTW drunk ottter :3

LawPD: Godscrack: San Antonio-made flag to fly at WTC

Made by Hispanics. I wonder how the 'real patriots' feel about that?

/berf ceritict wahr


They'll probably fire up their 386-66's go out there on the interwebs, post their displeasure in the freeper forums then play some Descent till bedtime.

You mean their 386 DX-40's ?

There is a lot off lead in modern skyscrapers?

Yes there is, particularly on the 81st floor of WTC2.

Where a bank, such as Fuji Bank, would have an uninterruptible power supply for its computer systems

So it was the Japs?

fireclown: And so I shall. Or, would it be possible for me to simply charge his CO for the space his soldier is taking up on my sofa?

Engblom v. Carey, 677 F.2d 957 (2d Cir. 1982), on rem. 572 F. Supp. 44 (S.D.N.Y. 1982), aff'd. per curiam 724 F.2d 28 (2d Cir. 1983)

In this case, prison guards had residences on the prison grounds assigned to them as part of their salary. When they went on strike, the governor ordered in the National Guard to do their jobs for the duration of the strike. He then evicted the guards from their state-supplied residences to make room for the National Guard troops. The Court said he shouldn't have done that.

This means that the simple act of quartering the soldiers involuntarily was a breach of the Third Amendment, regardless of any compensation to the rightful occupants of the housing. At least, that's how I read it. It could be argued that your lack of objection could be taken as assent to the situation, so receiving any type of compensation not agreed upon would be unlikely. I would get something in writing before I allowed the soldier in the house.

Mazzic518: So it was the Japs?

Asian-American is the preferred nomenclature.

Girion47: But that doesn't differentiate from the gooks and chinks

You say that like there's a difference.
