This is the problem with the Palestinians. There's a reason Egypt has that big wall and won't accept them into Egypt. When you come from a radicalized population or family, it's no surprise statistically you'd be much more likely to be an extremist yourself. All of that being said, my biggest problem with Mamdani is he's anti capitalist. I don't really care that he's a Muslim. Anyone who is quoting Eugene Debs in his speeches and saying openly "no problem is too small for the government" is no friend to me or where I want to live.

How is that not overlapping? The reason we have issues with Muslim extremism is they hate the West and it's culture, including the acceptance of gay people.
-
I don't have all the data, but how about 9/11/01? Does it count if Muslims just imploded the whole building or does it need to be an arm drag over the top?

I voted for Gore but after 9/11 I thought for awhile maybe Bush was the right President for what we were facing. I was wrong in a dramatic way. Likely all caused by one Democratic county in Florida having a confusing ballot format that led their own voters to vote for Pat Buchanan.
-
Perhaps the politician that has cost our county the most in lives and treasure of my lifetime, if you believe he was the driving force behind pushing GW Bush into Iraq. I don't see him as evil, but he was a hawk who in my mind would stretch the facts to fit that hawkish view and it cost us dearly.

The Republicans don't have any real power in NY but someone made the observation tonight the state might reel in some of this from Albany. The R's would be wise to stand aside and let him put this to the test. I suspect clearer heads from Albany may prevail on the D side. But to be honest, when AOC unseats Schumer they may fear to do so for their own political lives.

Hooters closes 41 locations. None in California
Mark Davis replied to TimHauck's topic in The Geek Club
I don't think it's going to fix it either. But it's a thing of the past IMO. Our Twin Peaks looks modern, better building, more money in the infrastructure. Most Hooters locations I know of are in need of major renovations. Most of these type establishments are under NNN leases where the tenant is responsible for all upkeep and any renovations. That's just one issue, but back to the food. If the premise is their food is subpar, if you fix that, if you refresh the brand in some way, at what point does it cease to hold it's brand value that remains? -

Better food from what I've heard. We have a Twin Peaks near one of the areas I go for lunch sometimes and know some people who eat there. Hooters had some of the greasiest food I've ever tried. -

Outdated business model. You can find more scantily clad women walking around your neighborhood market these days. He may as well open a Blockbuster up. -
We had it here with Roy Moore. At least Roy Moore lost. We had people justifying voting for him for a variety of reasons. It's funny when the sides flip, people's morality changes. The truth is becoming more and more that the dominant party in a state can nominate the most despicable person and they will still win the general due to the polarization of our politics.

I'm all for him. I hope he and his allies strongarm their way to enact whatever they want.

Aggressive Hep-C/ Herpes/ COVID monkey on the loose in Mississippi
Mark Davis replied to cmh6476's topic in The Geek Club
I know that area pretty well. Those folks don't want Hep C from some monkey, they prefer to get it the good old fashioned way, by reusing needles. Last I heard only one was left unaccounted for. I guarantee you there are rednecks with rifles out there hunting that one right now. -
Horrible managing by Toronto had them rolling out a lineup that was sub MLB standard for most of extras. If there's a 5% chance that pinch runner at 1st is going to score when the other person couldn't but a 50%+ chance the game is going to continue beyond that inning, it's remarkably dumb to do it. He ran for most of his best hitters. Even more egregious was he burned Kirk for a PR, then chose to bunt, which failed. If you're going to bunt, you expect the guy to be able to get a lead and advance when the 1B crashes. The fact Straw couldn't execute is even more evidence but even if you assume success, every person who played baseball at any competitive level knows when that 1B goes to crash and you're being sacrificed over you take a huge secondary walking lead. You can go as far as the 2nd baseman coming in behind you. You shouldn't need a PR. Especially if that PR is also a catcher, while Kirk is incredibly slow, it's not like the backup C was Vince Coleman or Willie McGee from the 80s coming out there.
