perhaps you'd just rather the member continually make the mistake?..just because other members are shitty to each other doesn't mean i must be.

do you secretly revel when a member is frustrated with mod or the site, getting the runaround about their account?

are you a mod? you seem to show at "certain" times.
What the fuck are you talking about? I just got out-gibberished.

easy target via air..what about ground where it's really being fought?

your foolish if you think this cannot happen here again..remember? terrorists who would have to have enough flight skill? what were the odds?..i heard today the odds of getting killed in US over terrorism is 1:20,000,000 and the odds for being hit by an asteroid 1:7,000,000..i betchya these people and those in boston wish they purchsed a lottery ticket that day or had the option to be hit by that asteroid:



by the by..un beknownst to myself mohammed atta lived in my town (only a few miles away from me) and tried to gain access to my town's water treatment facility..i found this out by accident when i complained that i couldn't take my check to pay my water bill..i was told why they have that mailbox is outside facility compound and no visitors are allowed in.
The odds you quoted are clearly false. Many US citizens have been killed by terrorists, but I have never heard of even one killed by a meteor.

it's impossible to be killed by a meteor you dumb shit.

they're called meteorites if they enter the earth's atmosphere.

This phenomenon is called a meteor, or colloquially a "shooting star" or "falling star". A series of many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, is called a meteor shower. Incoming objects larger than several meters (asteroids or comets) can explode in the air. If a meteoroid, comet or asteroid or a piece thereof withstands ablation from its atmospheric entry and impacts with the ground, then it is called a meteorite.

Lending you a hand. I'm sure these dumb-fucks will try to refute your statement.

then i had it slightly wrong. a meteor becomes a meteoroid when it enters the atmosphere, and then a meteorite if it gets past the atmosphere.

i have brought shame to my family and will resign RIU forever.

You weren't wrong, you just missed an intermediate step in the life cycle of a meteor. Red was just wrong. I just wanted to clarify, and qualify, your statement.

Actually it was smokeydan. Then he told me that a pound of bricks is heavier than a pound of feathers. And that we are essentially inside of the sun right now.

All stars are suns. So "The Sun" [sic] doesn't refer to a specific star. It's named "Sol"
Yup he sure is no astronomer :rolleyes:

Very small meteorites can also explode...

You shoudn't write about things you are uncertain of. A strategist always thinks of personal security first, followed by security in local operating area. Targeting the enemy is one of the last steps before any execution. Being a strategist isn't about hitting weak targets, it is about winning the overall war not a battle or two.
Alec? So, no one writes anything? We abandon press reporting? :)

Living in fear everyday of something that is SO UNLIKELY to happen is a bit like fearing flesh eating virus. Might as well enjoy our life and avoid the stresses.

My first deployment to Iraq: for the first few months I made a habit of looking up at the sky when I walked out of my quarters, checking for rockets/mortars, why? Who fucking knows, for some reason I thought I would get a glimpse of the round that would end my life maybe. A few months later I got over it, stopped looking up. Something that you have zero control over isn't worth looking up for, educate yourself on the threat but don't expect others to look at the sky like you do.
The stretch for me is somehow, talking about it is living in fear. And to say the USA has Zero control over this? Many think we started and have to control ourselves. Maybr not you, but many think this is a war we started with Islam.

That is so anti-freedom, I don't know what else to say. Yet, living in fear of mortar is not the same as living in fear of crucifixion, slow mutliation by your fellow humans or being burned alive.

At your base, the Sharia Gestapo, was not allow to "question" you.

There is the fear associated with cold, rough duty. For that you had training in honor and courage, esprit de corp, etc. You had a command structure committed to force protection,
radar and anti-mortar, mortar, right? You could fight back.

My buddy told me a story about mortar attack in Nam. He was on the Airbase way back in the Conex stacks. He couldn't make it to the prepared trenches. And they managed to land a few in the stacks. He said he was running around crouching in corners panting like a mad dog for the entire barrage.

Think of the mother with daughters and an already dead husband in Mosul. She lives in real fear.

For us Americans, talking about this how we gird ourselves against the raw fear.

I have been wondering what these orange jump suits mean.



And actually it is the color saffron. And since it is the most red you can easily get it counts as red. And actually saffron is the color mentioned in hadeeth, that men may not wear.

http://islamqa.info/en/2843
It was reported that wearing pure red is forbidden for men, but not for women, because of the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade mafdam” (reported by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah, 3591). Mafdam is something that is filled with red safflower dye. According to the commentary of al-Sindi on Sunan al-Nisaa’i, mafdam is something that is filled with red. It was reported that if ‘Umar saw a man wearing a garment dyed red with safflower, he would pull him aside and say, “Leave this for the women.” (Reported by al-Tabari).

‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr said: “A man who was wearing two red garments passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and greeted him with salaam, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not respond.” (Reported by Abu Dawood and al-Tirmidhi, and classed as hasan by al-Bazzaar, who said: we know it only through this isnaad, which includes Abu Yahya al-Qattaat, who is a disputed figure).

There were several suggestions as to why men are forbidden to wear red, including the following:

because it is the dress of the kuffaar

because it is the adornment of women, so forbidding it is a way of discouraging the imitation of women

because it is vanity and does not befit a decent man to wear it

The prohibition applies only to garments that are dyed completely red. Garments that contain another colour such as white, black, etc. are not forbidden.
So if someone draw a caricature of prophet Mohamed wearing this color he's gonna get a fatwa on is back?
