  Sharknado 2

  has anyone, yet, had a chance to watch this glorious epic?

  it is truly a flawless work of art.. i know what you're thinking: it couldn't possibly pack the punch of the original, or surpass it in scope or magnitude.

  but you would be wrong.

  No way "Megashark vs Giant Octopus" is the best of them all. Most accurate depiction of a battleship firing its main guns, ever. And Megashark eating the 747 out of the sky is truly scary. Great acting, superb cinamatography, good story, what else can you want? They even brought back Debbie Gibson.

  mass immigration in the world "seems" to have led to a rise in anti -semitism in the west.

  france now has more than six million muslims.. germany now has four million muslims.

  the netherlands has almost one million muslims .

  Others need a chance to progress as well.

  Hamas has no interest in progress.

  +1

  Or as Robert A. Heinlen put it in one of his books "The problem with trying to appeal to someone's higher nature is that he may not have one."

  edited to add: So we should all quit complaining and wait for the Watchtower to make more progress?

  Point to ponder: What one city in the mid east has a gay pride parade? Which mid east country has the most liberal policy toward same sex marriage? Which countries execute LGBTQ people?

  I'm sorry, I don't understand why liberals support oppressive fundamentalist theocracies in a fight with the only place that even remotely looks like a liberal state in the region.

  being "black balled" by any fraternity group is still a stigma.

  Only to members of the fraternity.

  Nobody else gives a $***, especially when the fraternity as viewed as lunatics or worse by the rest of the world. I spend a lot of time on a discussion board devoted to politics and military history. The guys there (for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect) all know I'm an XJW and all of them regard my exit as a a badge of honor and courage (they've used those words), which strikes me as over the top, but I'll take it.

  her suffering is finally over.

  marilyn has been battling cancer for about three years and at times it looked like she would win.

  but in the last few months the cancer spread.

  i wonder if anybody else has wondered about the differences between those 2 flights?

  in the malaysian flight that crashed from 30,000 feet high, tons of wreckage, body parts, bodies, documents, etc, all over the place.

  yet in the pa flight 93, just a crater in the ground, no bodies, everything supposedly vaporized.

  I'm a retired accountant. You have not yet blown your chance to move toward resolution, but you need to act. Call the IRS IMMEDIATELY and tell them you want to get on an installment plan. You may have to fill out some forms documenting your income. If you tell them you can pay enough each month (no I'm not sure how they calculate this) they will just accept the plan, there is another form you have to fill out.

  I had this problem on my Dell laptop, it was driving me crazy. One of the suggestions was to download a free program called touchfreeze. Fixed the problem.
