Ghandi was right about Pakistan. What a wise man he was.

Ghandi was right about Pakistan. What a wise man he was.

Myopic Cold War hysteria lead the US into siding with Pakistan, no matter how worthless a "friend" they were. Because Nehru or Indira Gandhi weren't keen on being puppets of the West, they were labeled Commie sympathizers, with it being at it's worst during the Nixon-Kissinger era. Fourty years on we're still stuck with Pakistan. Absolutely disgusting and mind boggling.

oh, and despite all of this, pakistan CONTINUES to get US foreign aide.  i just sent in a $1300 tax check.  to think they got even a penny of that makes me barf.

And I am never selling weed in east oakland again. EVER.




In fact, I hope to never go anywhere near that demilitarized, crackhead/whore-infested cesspool. No wonder Alameda is full of snobby assholes. Natural Reaction.

it was actually Homer Dudley and Bell Labs who did this to you.


use marcum device to rendezvous with your handler in the 1930s, and to assassinate Dudley and destroy his research.




however, I can feel something inside me saying, i really don't think you're strong enough, no.

"Between 2002-2010, Pakistan received approximately 18 billion in military and economic aid from the United States. In February 2010, the Obama administration requested an additional 3 billion in aid, for a total of 20.7 billion."

Pure Madness.

And here I am, clipping coupons to buy Ballpark Angus Beef Franks at a slightly better price even as I hear the echoing slosh of a less than filled gasoline tank as I bumble down the road.

We're building their roads and bridges so they can kill each other faster in the name of Allah, while our country quickly becomes representative of 3rd world standards.  When the Feds do help, they offer some grants but primarily long-term loans.

Hooray for American foreign policy. Musharaf, the ass who blamed Benazir Bhutto for her own assasination ("she should have stayed home. too bad."), has a few sons. Guess where they live. Guess where they went to college. Places most American kids dream of.


Most of those billions do not go to build roads. They go to local war lords and other corrupt elements like Musharaf. It's just hush and appeasement money. Americans are terrified of Pakistan, as they should be. It's a nuclear armed state with elements that want to destroy Israel, America, oh and Iran.

         I was in Barnes&Nobles today, and while browsing for an interminable amount of time I noticed they had interrupted their usual music marathon of Sting,Paul Simon,Peter Gabriel and Tracy Chapman to give us something new.

           What was this "new music"? Apparently the marketing gurus have decided to give us a Lionel Richie goes country, something the public was clamoring for. What a nightmare hearing these Nashville cats duet with the erstwhile Commodores singer. Never in my life did I actually prefer to hear the 1980's versions of "Endless Love", "Say You Say Me"(which I almost kind of like and it reminds me of a girl I had a crush on in the winter of 85/86), "Dancing on the Ceiling" etc. Just terrible...I'm sure it's selling well.

          In my youth, there was a store owner who charged tax on penny gum. Really. But a 25 cent item in this fuckin' crook's store was 27 cents. In 1984, Lionel Richie had a hit with "Penny Lover" and we obstreperous youth, when we had a surfeit of pennies, would sing "Penny Lover" and fire our rusty coins at him. "Slokie, you penny lover motherfucker" was our 3rd grade rallying cry.

... I can not even imagine myself, for one second, conducting "a little research" on a forum member (and I question as to how one would even go about such a thing, but I politely digress)... Yet to come onto a forum and announce that one has spent precious time "researching" a member...wowza...that's another kettle of fish. (interesting choice of words)

Ya know, sometimes things are much more innocent and benign than appear on the surface.

There was/is a member here that I found particularly annoying - but not so much that I chose to place on an ignore list. I wondered if she was as bat-shit crazy elsewhere, so I typed her screenname into Google - took only a few seconds. Hardly spending "precious time" doing so-called "research" - a simple Google search showed she posts her life for all to read in an online diary-type thing (more a blog than anything), detailing all aspects of her life and pathology... I guess she wants the attention?

Google also showed a post at an online dating site - and it is NOT Match.com. Her advertisement lists some (IMO) pretty weird proclivities.

So there you have the extent of my so-called "research." Lots of information, but certainly not a nefarious, obsessive witch-hunt. I think typing in a name into Google is pretty normal actually. I never mentioned anything about this member until someone called out for lesbians, which has garnered some interesting responses - but I haven't revealed this person.

You know, folks, this is where and why I think I'm going to bow out of this forum for a while...To the great members who inhabit this forum, thanks so much for your thoughts and the sharing of your (often times wacko yet very entertaining) humor... I'll come back to this site should I discover that a little humanity and decency prevails and resides here.

My take on people who insist on announcing that they're not going to post on a forum, is that they are attention-craved babies, seeking approval from other members with posts like, "Please don't go," etc. If one is not seeking this attention, they would simply go away for a while and not post - but they always feel compelled to tell us why publicly. Boo-hoo.

So Wild Card Guy, you say, "I think I'm going to bow out of this forum for a while..." - OK... buh-bye! I'll stick around for the funny and intellectual banter.

I can see how some folks might jump to conclusions - which is why I try not to jump to conclusions. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I'd agree with that - I wish no ill-will... I try not to be a whiner, though recognize I might have been/will be at some time...

Exactly. 

However, when a cigar is not just a cigar, always remember that coastgab members are welcome to post about it on my "Excuse Me, Your Freudian Slippage Is Showing" thread.  It's the only place on the forum where a cigar band can be code for cock-ring and Dean Koontz becomes a slur. (ever since some wiseacre felt the need to plant that Koontz seed on the "Is it me or ...." thread.)

I realize it may sound like I am promoting my thread and that this is some kind of a commercial.  Not true. Not true.

(Camazotz Automat approves this message. Dean Koontz, not so much.)

[ziznak]

whoa we have coastgab stalkers now??? you know a forum is good when you attract psycho's like that whoever she is... our resident psycho/asshole mr wanderer is entertaining enough but now there's an elusive female psychopath... this is almost as good listening to C2C anymore

Sir, that was an outstanding post. I read all of yours as you are one of the few around here that dares to show his brain works. Not to say others don't have any neural activity but at least your brain gets its point across.

I'm not going into details but try the method of variation of parameters or the method of undetermined coefficients. Expand on it for higher order DEs. Check out Euler's technique - assuming it is an ordinary DE linear equation.

Thank you kindly. M'lady believes that I'm about 2 or 3 years away from getting a disorder named after me(I hope it's not posthumous). She and a choice few others are within azimuth of my daily explosions. I'm one those " the glass is 1% empty" personalities. But my misery comes with a shit eating grin, which mitigates things a bit.

Only 1% empty? Hell man, you better start drinking before the prices go up! I'm one of those "half empty" types. Generally pessimistic and see shit often before it happens to hit me or society in general (its left the fan blades awareness and still has an ETA).  Well, hopefully your lady will see your wisdom. I've had what might be described as an overall successful life professionally but the stress has damn near killed me. My bride and I have been married 39 years and we have three grown children and three grandchildren. I'm retired so you can see why I have time to do things like hang around this forum and at this time of night - seven days per week.

So who is gonna win - Romney or Obama? In either case with international bankers, power brokers and the federal reserve fascists it will equate into the same pile of shit with a different texture - flavor can't be too different as the government is just one huge ass hole and the people are the toilet catching it all.
