In it was a whole shelf of Bennys videos.

Kenny was holding court in the office while Skeeter was in the first bay looking for a drain bucket. The windows and doors were propped open and a window fan ran on high. I was leaning against the fender of my Jetta, about 10 feet from the window, with the hood up and listening in to the banter of Kenny’s social club.

Argentina just signed into law the Justine bill (organ donation).

273kelvin comments on Jul 4, 2018:

This is coming in the UK too (I think the Welsh parliament already has it). The trouble is that doctors will still seek consent from the family. So if you are a registered donor (we do so on our driving licence), Please make sure your next of kin knows and is ready to give consent on your behalf.

273kelvin replies on Jul 5, 2018:

@DUCHESSA That kinda works in law but not in practice. The doctor may or may not have religious views and even if they dont, they like to get consent.

One-Third of Americans Don't Believe 6 Million Jews Were Murdered During the Holocaust

Let's put aside who believes what.... The numbers are interesting and mind boggling. 6 million in a span of 1945 - 1939 = 6 years.

273kelvin replies on Jul 5, 2018:

@skeptic99 Oh yeah you must be right because where are all the corpses of those native americans that were slaughtered by the settlers? It must mean there was hardly anyone there before you guys moved in. Do the maths, look at the jewish population before and after. Where do you think they all went? Talk to any jewish family (go on force yourself). You will discover how many of their relatives that were lost. My uncle was there when we discovered Bergen-Belsen. The things that he told me lived with him all his life. That was not a "death camp" like Auschwitz yet they killed 50,000. It does not take a rocket scientist to see where your coming from. "Jewish-Bolshevik" was a clue. Not withstanding the longstanding animosity Russia had to Poland anyway shown to great extent by the delay in liberating Warsaw. Dont take my word for it.

It was an industry. No one doubts how many cars Detroit can, or could turn out in a day. In WW2 the US turned out a liberty ship daily, not to mention all the tanks, jeeps, planes and lorries. Genocide has happened before and since. Sadly it will probably happen again. What sickens us most about the holocaust is the shear industrial efficiency of it.

Where do I start? Definitions; English is a living language words change, are added or modified by usage eg. "Chauvinist" modern usage says sexist but it was originally "an excessive devotion to any cause, person or ideal" This does not mean that the modern definition is wrong, just narrow. So your baptist minister told you about "fake Jews!" Ffs really why the fuck would anyone want to join that club? A history of oppression and persecution "so lets pretend to be them" I suggest you keep wearing that aluminium hat.

What is your favorite movie that is a love story?

GuyKeith comments on Jun 30, 2018:

I picked African Queen for a couple of reasons. One, Bogie and Hepburn. I mean, what a duo! Secondly, for Bogie to unfreeze the totally religiously impaired Rose was something to behold. I mean, what a woman after he unleashed her passion! I've said too much.

273kelvin replies on Jul 1, 2018:

This was my choice too. Hepburn playing it as Eleanor Roosevelt, making such a hero out of the reprobate Bogie. When he climbs back into the water, you can almost hear Ben E King singing "when a man loves a woman" Jack Cardiffs cinematography complimenting Houstons direction. Oh and whilst we are at it, lets hear it for C S Forester too

I once asked a question to my friends "Would you like to like next door to a policeman?" The unanimous answer was a resounding "No". I then asked "What if you lived in Amsterdam?" They had to think hard about that one.

273kelvin replies on Jun 30, 2018:

I have one or two current and ex coppers that were decent. Perhaps its them not being armed here that makes the difference. We have a thing called "community police" or as we call them "hobby bobbies". These are people who give up their free time to walk the streets in uniform and work with the regular police. All of us has at some time been a victim of crime. In an ideal world, the police force would be dedicated to serve us and make our society better.
