@infantrydort I did HUMINT for NSW during that time, in Baghdad. I remember the final push into Sadr City. The whole event, along with our target set and operational constraints were...confusing and frustrating.
@shipwreckedcrew The weapons the 9/11 hijackers had, per the on board flight attendant calls, were all explicitly legal at the time. The issue was not faulty security screening.
@yamma_jamma@paned_neis_o_de@domdyer70 Calling them furbabies puts them on the same morality level as a human. Humans are created in God's image. Dogs, though we may love them, are not.
@shipwreckedcrew This is true. But it's also true that in many (most) places you can't build that 1,100 sq ft 2&1, that would be an amazing starter home. Government regulations make it impossible.
@EndresenHeather@edwardscpa Sellers notes are a financing tool for the buyer. If the buyer wants part of the consideration to be at risk, there are other mechanisms: holdback, escrow, earn out, right of offset against the note, each of which can be negotiated independently. Your statement is overly broad.
I got to visit On-A-Slant in North Dakota, where the Heart and Missouri connect. You can sit in a reconstructed Mandan village, and look out on the water. It's just blindingly obvious that tribe would be in a position to dominate trade moving through there. Just a magnificent commercial location.
You said 7 times as many in the US. The response was "US is bigger." You then reverted to per capita, implying that your 7x number was per capital. It's not. The 7x number is total. Per capita the US is slightly higher in knife homicide, while the UK is higher in overall knife crime.
Don't insult someone's intelligence when you can't get the facts right yourself.
I think this is actually indicative of how @DavidAFrench thinks. Combining holier than thou morality with total denial of the reality of how this morality negatively impacts those living in the real world. There is no way his kids didn't tell others, and he is blind to that reality.
