Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

You don't want pictures of your property up on Google? Fine. Privacy and all that. But don't hand me this whole "It will bring criminals here to loot our village, steal our women, and rape our horses" crap. Nobody's going to be going through google and say "Hey, there's a likely neighborhood 400 miles away, let's go steal from there!" A burglar is going to break into areas that he knows. He's much more likely to be your neighbor than somebody hours away, and your neighbors sure as hell don't need to see google maps to know it's an affluent neighborhood. Youy've had three breakins without google maps. I think your secret's out!

Two words, you stupid sheep: Arm yourselves! Baseball bats, guns, chains... Whatever you've got. The next time some asshole breaks into your home, hurt him bad enough that the ambulance has to come help him out of your home. I guarantee, the crime rate will drop significantly. If I know you're a pencil-necked little wimp that isn't going to do anything but wet yourself if someone breaks in, and I know you're affluent, pffft.... I might even be tempted to break into your house. Dorks. |
