  1. Significantly more annoying. Is that even a real pic of her? It looks like the head was photo chopped.
  2. Agree. The only way I know for someone (other than the person the state has on record) to get a title reissued is a mechanic's lien. Even then there are plenty of hoops to jump through.

    The shooting down of the Russian jet has less to do with 17 seconds or airspace and more to do with this: "Russia is in Syria not to fight ISIS but to save the Assad regime as a permanent Russian ally. Turkey has two goals: It wants to clip the wings of the independence-minded Kurds, but it also wants to see Assad fall. And while Turkey's goals differ from those of its NATO allies -- particularly because Ankara has largely turned a blind eye to ISIS, an enemy of the Kurds -- the NATO bloc mostly agrees on its antipathy towards Assad." http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/24/opinions/ghitis-russia-jet-shot-down/index.html
  4. I defended the Latinos against your smear campaign.
  5. This article exains this chart. The 42% of Latino attacks accounted for 7 deaths. The 6% of Islamist attacks accounted for over 3,000 deaths. So...this chart is misleading, and it would appear intentionally so. Political graffiti by a Latino group was considered as 1 act of terror. 9/11 was also considered 1 act of terror. They don't quite equate, do they? http://www.rawstory.com/2015/01/no-americas-terror-threat-is-not-coming-from-latinos/
  6. Without the supporting data the chart isn't useful.
  7. I see what you did there. The thing about numbers like you are stating is they can be massaged to show many different outcomes. What is considered a terrorist attack? What type of violent crimes are being lumped in as a terrorist attack? Foreign or domestic? Is it for a specific country of region? Many countries are plagued with violent crimes that many would not consider terrorism.

    There are 2 US Air Force bases in Turkey. 1 of them is occupied by US and Turkish forces. There are US/Turkish joint ops occurring in that region.

    They are. "He [Putin] described it as a "stab in the back" committed by "accomplices of terrorists"." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34913173

    This can't be good http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/24/middleeast/warplane-crashes-near-syria-turkey-border/index.html
  11. There are multiple provisions of a liquor license. IIRC there is a specific provision for Sunday sales. I think it's D6.
  12. Maybe giving Jim suspension tips is a bad idea. It'll just make it harder to keep up with him
  13. I like this method because if doesn't affect the suspension travel or any of the suspension ratios.
  14. Agreed. The players may be amateurs but Meyer is a professional coach making over $6 million/year. After that performance he earned some criticism. Not to mentioned when the season started OSU had 3 QBs with impressive college resumes. Now the coaching staff is very timid throwing the ball. That is not an elite coaching effort.
  15. With those play calls, I agree.
  16. You may not like how he went about, but I think Elliot's comments were accurate. OSU's offensive approach was not going to win that game. Meyer is an excellent coach, but that was his worst effort since coming to Columbus. They lost a chance at a national championship without a chance to give their best effort. Of course the players are frustrated.
  17. I dont know what your shock mount looks like...but you should be able to add spacers such as large washers. It's cheap and it works. I know someone who did this to a Superhawk with good results.
  18. I hope this continues to be the only one.
  19. This is an interesting point that shouldn't be glossed over. There are more layers than just extremist vs non extremist. Within non extremists they are sympathizers. How many? It's impossible to know, they don't exactly advertise. Consider this example... Pakistan is over 95% Muslim. Officially, the Pakastani gov't and military were opposed to Al Qaeda and Bin Laden. Remember, they were even helping in the hunt for Bin Laden. But fast forward and where was he found? Abbottabad. The military neighborhood where the upper echelon of Pakistani military officers live that borders the Pakistan Military Academy, their equivalent of West Point. I don't consider the Pakastani military to be an extremist group, but I don't think they are strongly opposed to them either. Why? You are welcome to speculate. How do you think Bin Laden came to have a safe house in the middle of the military brass that were looking for him? There were several theories... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_support_system_in_Pakistan_for_Osama_bin_Laden
  20. Jinu, I am not going to dissect your whole post, but I am going to disagree with you. I am not concerned with all Muslims. At the moment I am concerned with ISIS. They (not me) claim that they are following Muhammed. The pieces I quoted are fundamental to ISIS' tactics (feel free to do your own research) The path they are going down is a dangerous one. They have been successful at recruiting moderate Muslims to join their cause. I disagree with their politics, which has the same goals as their religion. Their ideology is not something that I will pretend to agree with for even a second.
  21. The picture was supposed to mean nail on the head. Maybe I picked the wrong one.
  22. You said American soil. Hitler never attacked American soil. Feel free to keep grasping at straws though. btw, none of Hitler's actions were motivated by Christianity. He was a madman that was preoccupied with creating the Aryan race.
