The problem is that peace has been negotiated before, and what happened? This...

Israel has had enough.

Lived in southern Africa for 6 months. Primarily Mozambique but I was in SA a little as well as Malawi. They're very racist, the Africans. My brother who was there as well was driving somewhere one day with a Mozambican, a good dude, and it came up that he wanted all the white people out of Mozambique. My brother is a red-headed white American. He questioned this Mozambican asking what about himself? "Oh, not you, we like you." Its just how they think about things, probably going back to all the colonization that happened and all the ills or perceived ills that came from that. And so it's easy to just keep going back to that idea as a society.

And for the record, they didn't just want all the white people out. They wanted the Chinese out as well. And there's tensions between the various tribes. Combine all that with low levels of education and extensive poverty and it's easy for charismatic leaders to come along and pump up these ideas and get movements going as people see hope in the promises even when the results are obviously going to be bad.

Tragic, probably would have been far far far fewer deaths if the dams weren't there. Wouldn't have been the sudden torrent out of nowhere.

Team USA B, at least.

Exactly, and it dates to decades back when The sport was less popular around the world. But even with the popularity it enjoys today around the world, the NBA is absolutely the top league with nothing even remotely close to it. The NBA champ is the world champ.

Red Alert has a strong female character and is definitely age appropriate... :)

 

I think we broke them.

 

Giving the Angels a nice little beat down to about end their season is pretty nice.

There's a new docsis version right around the corner that will provide symmetric speeds. Comcast is starting to roll it out this year. Cable will be a lot faster in a couple years.

You think I didn't follow that this conversation is about bathrooms?

 

Looking forward to the rest of the Houston series. Maybe a sweep? Maybe? And the offense is still not totally clicking. Julio, Kelenic, France, Cal, and Teoscar have all been a little cool here lately(or longer).

Gonna need an upgrade at 2b cause Caballero isn't a starter and Wong just doesn't seem to have it.
