  1. AHC: Giraffemeatgate and other alternate food scandals

    Just a quick thought. Normally, food scandals in terms of additives is a price point issue. Given the cost of giraffe, zebra etc., even in South Africa or some such place where they could be hunted/poached/game farmed on a commercial scale, there isn't a benefit to blending it in with say ground...
  2. WI: France Keeps Algeria

    I find the knee-jerk, this is offensive, you should be banned attitude offensive. He made an observation that you found ridiculous, point out the flaws. But really, "telling on him" and hoping he can't come back to play anymore? I sure do enjoy this discourse and spirited banter!* *Laden with...
  3. African American Assasinates JFK

    Or he could do it because his breakfast sausage told him to while it performed an interpretive dance with the toast. My point is and has been that despite all the logic we apply to why the vast majority of black people wouldn't or angles we use to justify why some might, one crazy person can...
  4. African American Assasinates JFK

    Anything could be the motivation. Saying that it's impossible because he was a champion for Civil Rights is ridiculous. Frankly, I find it rather dismissive that a definitive conclusion on an ENTIRE RACE can be drawn due to a position on a single issue, regardless of size or import.
  5. WI: Red California

    This I agree with. I think sometimes due to how polarizing the immigration debate is, it is lost how socially conservative many California Hispanics are.
  6. WI Two Californias?

    I'm a little suprised that Merced County wouldn't be placed in Eastern California.
  7. WI Two Californias?

    I don't disagree. I would however point out that the agricultural output of California exceeds that of Texas and Iowa combined. Based of the county breakdown versus current receipts, over 70% of this production goes to East California. The industry statewide generates 37 billion dollars annually...
  8. AHC: Save the Battleship

    Yes. As I recall, several congressman pushed on their behalf to keep 1-2 around for such an instance.
  9. Rule Britannia!

    Just took the time to read. Very nice, very nice indeed.
  10. Insurgencies suppressed with nukes

    Perhaps something involving South Africa and the border wars? A stretch to be sure but anything within this subject is going to be.
  11. U.S.-China Nuclear War in 1998?

    DC also is not listed.
  12. Steampunk movie or TV show

    Does anyone think a couple of Johnny Depp's gadgets in Sleepy Hollow lent themselves to a steam punk vibe?
  13. Battleships still a viable option?

    Just on coolness factor alone I wish there was still a spot for them in the modern navy. Alas, they no longer are a practical component IMHO.
  14. Great movies that never were

    Wow. Since the first was mind numbingly bad, I could only imagine.
