@mhorndisk: This is just confusion to children. They don't need to be talking about sex. I didn't even know what gay was until I was 11 and going through puberty. Thank God my parents never discussed sex with me! What kid wants to talk about sex or sexuality with their parents? It's just awkward and weird! Let them figure it out on their own! These people are deranged. And you have these adult transsexuals teaching kids about sex… If a grown man went up to your daughter and said, "Hey sweety, I'm gonna talk to you about sex and what's between my legs!" He'd go to jail! So why should a transgender be allowed to? Children don't even HAVE any sexual characteristics until they are about 8 years old.  That is why Michael Jackson was not interested in any children younger than 8.. he was only interested in BOYS!  It's quite normal for girls to go through a "period" of being a "Tom Boy"  and having penis envy.    I always thought it was ironic that little girls typically want to have a penis.. but little boys rarely want to have a vagina (unless their name is Brucie). http://info.emergencehealthnetwork.org/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=37696&cn=1272

@raphjd: I guess you're a black supremacist then. Sad, very sad. The president's brain damage is somehow effecting you. I'm not the one making arguments to preserve black supremacists statues…oops, wait a minute, black people NEVER LYNCHED THOUSANDS OF WHITES IN AMERICA, ENSLAVED MILLIONS OF WHITES IN AMERICA AND THEN INSTALLED STATUES OF OURSELVES TO SHOW PRIDE IN OUR SAVAGE DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR. Take your false equivalence WSW lies somewhere else BigotBot.

I have to spend the time AGAIN to find that tick box and untick it.  SMF keep resetting it with each update and it seems like they either move it or rename it, when they do updates.

@raphjd: OK, let's keep the off topic crap out of this. Which woman would you like to see as US President?    It could even be a person from another country. And why? +++++ Ann Richards, former Governor of Texas She was a strong, take no shit kinda person.   She was a lot like Trump in the way she told it like it was.   She didn't do all that "political speak". She was an egalitarian, not a feminist. I would agree that an Ann Richards TYPE of person would be good.  However Ann Richards herself was a bit of a loose cannon.  She absolutely hated the Bush family.

@mhorndisk: Nice idea, but they would never be able to do that. With all the leaks, and all the control, it would be impossible. The answer is that the people need to hold them accountable and in 2018, we vote them out! Plus we need to know how they voted for that very reason. The 2018 election for congressmen will be very interesting. In 2008 and 2012, there was a massive influx of people who never bothered to vote before, voting for Obama.  The moonbats saw that they finally had a chance to takeover the country.  They gave Obama and the moonbats the keys to the store.. and found out that Obama was not helping them out at all.  The people that voted for him largely became disenchanted with him. In 2016, there was a massive influx of people voting to take the country BACK.  People who were registered to vote but rarely bothered to actually vote went to the polls. In 2018, the moonbats have a no-win situation. If they get control of Congress, then there will be total gridlock, which they will get blamed for - the country will suffer - and Trump will look even better. If they further lose control of Congress, Trump will be able to get everything he wants done easily, the country will do great - and Trump will get the credit.

Come on liberals! Looks like you're all in hiding because we kicked your ass! Lol! You have no standing! And it's funny because it was like a 20:1 ratio.  :blownose: That is some outrageously ridiculous stuff! It only goes to show how demented you've become and how weak your arguments are. Sorry, but it's True, and I think you know that! Lol!!! Sweet dreams! I know I'll be having them! Bye now. Lol

@Spintendo: @Frederick: the commander of the 7th fleet was scheduled to retire in a few weeks.. but instead of waiting, they dismissed him NOW. In the first incident on January 31 the guided-missile cruiser Antietam ran aground in Tokyo Bay. On May 9 the guided-missile cruiser Lake Champlain collided with a South Korean fishing vessel. Questions of whether the sailors were being properly trained and supported caused the admiral at that time to announce his plan to retire, in September. Then came the accidents on June 17 and August 21, which accelerated those plans. Reminds me of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgI8bta-7aw or the Hillary Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDNYYMK29AU or this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOwSaSl_PGk

@raphjd: In the UK, it used to be that you got a new IP address every time you logged on to the internet.    You had to pay double or more to get a static one. Now pretty much everyone has a static one, except when they are using hotspots and whatnot. I switched my provider to one that provided free static IP addresses about 8 years ago.   About 4 years ago, static became the standard.  I don't know of any that offer dynamic still. Dial up modems resulted in new ip  addresses with every connection.  The one advantage of having a static ip address is if you want to use your own computer as a server.  When you do that, you could hypothetically keep a server with top secret confidential emails on it in your basement, and if you ever got in trouble just delete them, and since they are not on a remote server, you are safe. Frankly, having a server in one's own house is silly.  It ties up a computer, is prone to crashing, and eats up your bandwidth.  There are many remote hosting services which are dirt cheap. IPv4 has a LOT of ip addresses, so they don't need to be re-used much. IPv6 has so many ip addresses that they would never run out of them.. and each address is permanently assigned to a specific location - hello Big Brother. What gets me with Facebook is that they want it both ways.  They both demand to know exactly who you are and where you are by your ip address and email address.. yet at the same time they demand more for advertising purposes such as your cell phone number and everything else.    Here's an idea.. when you set up an account.. give them your PHYSICAL address.. then they can SEND you via snail mail a verification letter. Facebook doesn't fool me.. they are crooks.

One of the things that really piss me off about NASA is that they hide tech that could benefit humanity. They should put everything, excluding the very few things that absolutely need secrecy, into the public domain.  They could patent the tech and sell/lease the rights to recoup the money. +++++ Back on topic. NASA never cared about maintaining stuff because since Kennedy, Presidents have been flooding them with cash. The oil industry spends BILLIONS to maintain their old data.  I've been to warehouse complexes where they have binders with paper data stored.  There are warehouses that have the old reel to reel tapes being stored.    Even warehouses with normal hard drives being stored.

Flozen, you picked the WRONG MESSAGE to downvote.. I highly suggest you apologize for that. THAT message is not one that I will tolerate being attacked. I promise you that you will regret it if you don't apologize.

Flozen downvoted my message above… Obviously he didn't even read the message.

@Shami94: Well it is an interesting example of what is driving the "alternative facts", "fake news" political environment in the USA which got a failure like Trump elected and which is destroying the reputation of the USA worldwide. People think that freedom of speech means freedom to lie and freedom to believe and express whatever opinion you happen to like, regardless of the facts. The economy and jobs are doing GREAT again.. I don't know what else you want out of Trump. Who would you have voted for if you lived in the USA instead of in a 3rd world cesspool?

Basically "liberals" whoever they are, don't see any point arguing with someone who thinks it is OK to ignore facts and believe whatever bazaar fiction happens to attract their attention on a given day. Yes the earth is flat and drinking turpentine cures cancer. Keep walking until you find the edge. Take a few bottles of turpentine with you because you might find you run out before you get there.

We're crazy here. Or stupid.
