    Picture of the Day

    I don't know if that has some computer generation to it or not, but that is just an amazing photo! :cheesy: I posted this on another thread yesterday but thought I would here as well. The Schlumberga (From Brazil, despite it's German name.), is called the 'Christmas Cactus' here in America...

    Gen Petraeus Debunks Allegations of Duplicity Against Pakistan

    Gen. Petraeus is a great military commander and was an early recognizer of our faulty tactics in Iraq, and corrected them, but I would much rather have him as Defence Secretary rather than at State. The problem with him at State is the same one with Sen. Corker, Gov. Romney and Amb. Bolton...

    Your Photography 2

    The Schlumberga (From Brazil, despite it's German name.), is called the 'Christmas Cactus' here in America because it blooms only once a year starting around the end of November, beginning of December, in full bloom by Christmas day. This one is mine and is coming in nicely this year, don't...

    Whom you are supporting and why

    Am I wrong to assume that in Pakistani politics, personalities tend to be more important than ideology? For example, in India (Not that personalities aren’t important.), elections seem to come down to two sides with clear ideological differences; one is secular and semi-socialist, led by the...

    Suspect Identified in Ohio State Attack as Abdul Razaq Ali Artan

    It's being reported that the Facebook post was made very shortly before the attack so that would rule out his account being hacked and of course mean, that no one had time to report it before the attack happened.

    Suspect Identified in Ohio State Attack as Abdul Razaq Ali Artan

    What is being reported just now as to the attacker's Facebook post... “I can’t take it anymore. America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially the Muslim Ummah. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that.” The post also invokes the name Anwar Al-Awlaki, a radical American-born...

    Suspect Identified in Ohio State Attack as Abdul Razaq Ali Artan

    Ummm, he used a car and a knife, not a gun. America does have cars and we have kitchen knives, so....still our fault?

    Egypt shifts to open support for Assad regime in Syrian civil war

    Answer: neither of those two. No, I mean it was we Westerners who took a big ole' barrel of high test gasoline, and dumped it right on the fires already there and we did it, like we always do it, with our typical pie-in-the-sky ignorant ideas about Western style democracy taking root, or...

    French Presidential and Legislative Elections 2017-News and Updates

    I don't know. I've heard this before BREXIT and in our recent elections. Almost every single pollster of note predicted a fairly easy Hillary Clinton win, buuuuuuut......... I hope you are right but again, many of Mr. Trump's positions were pretty implausible but in the end, people voted...

    French Presidential and Legislative Elections 2017-News and Updates

    As I mentioned in your other thread, personally, I would have voted for Fillon if I were French but honestly, I will not be the least surprised if Marine Le Pen wins the final, no matter what the polls say. The problem with the Républicains Party of France is similar to the Republican Party of...

    Not to mention, it's very difficult to eat a moving deer. :)

    Egypt shifts to open support for Assad regime in Syrian civil war

    No, because we never do. We wait for the anarchy than act like we had nothing to do with it.

    Castro led Cuba with statesmanship, dignity: Pakistan

    By what possible twisted logic, do you believe that my country, any country, YOUR country, should be forced to trade with another country if it does not wish to? BTW, Castro's Cuba traded freely with countries all over the world and has belonged to the WTO for decades. Cuba's economy is a...

    US Politics

    Millions of illegal aliens did not vote, but the popular vote doesn't matter in US presidential elections anyway. The states elect the president through the Electoral College, not the people directly. We are a federal republic.

    Three California mosques receive hateful letters mentioning Trump

    Jeez, all you have to do is look at the writing to guess what sort of moron wrote this! :lol: The only thing that would make it more "on the nose" is if it were written in crayon.

    Castro led Cuba with statesmanship, dignity: Pakistan

    ...and ruled his country as his own personal totalitarian fiefdom for 49 years; no free elections, no free press, no criticism of the government allowed, etc., despite his having promised all of those things. He enslaved his people for half a century and they remain so under his brother. And...

    Seven things to know about Fillon - 'The French Thatcher'

    Wow, a real, no kidding, conservative who is a practising Catholic and stands up for traditional values. :victory1: Your Republicans did much better than our Republicans. Any chance we can trade you Trump for this guy?
