Of course I knew it was a SPOOF when I posted it. I was just seeing how many TDS afflicted members would "take the bait". |

To me religion is of no spiritual value as I believe the notion of god to be unsupported and unproven. Religion is of interest to me only because of its effects on history, politics, and social order. |

That can't be right, wasn't Trump saying yesterday that he secured a deal where it was not only open, but would never be closed again ever? If never again ever means approximately 14 hours, then I guess he was right... My guess is a tentative deal was reached where the strate would be open provided U.S. stops blocking Iranian ports. And, for whatever reason, the U.S. just keeps blocking the ports. I feel like they are almost hoping for a Maine incident... I hate to be conspiratorial, but there are just so many things being put in place that could easily go wrong and force an escalation. |

The fireworks show should be amazing! |

Idiotic comment by somebody who clearly was never in the military... You probably thought we were winning Vietnam too because we dropped more bombs on their native land and they dropped none on us. Some countries do not need to win in a conventional sense. They need to make life miserable for a country that is used to being pampered. Rural people in the Persian wilderness are used to life with no power and finding alternative bridges. Fatsos in America legitimately have panic attacks when gas is a few dollars up and groceries spike. Our tolerance for not just adversity, but even minor inconvenience is so low. |

North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap and U.S. general William Westmoreland as the US agreed to pull out. "You know, you never defeated us on the battlefield," said the American. Giap replied, "That may be so, but it is also irrelevant". |

The US really hasn't done much to brag about militarily since WWII. Korea: stalemate, a country divided. Vietnam: epic loss. Granada, Venezuela etc.: too insignificant to count. Iran: epic fail to date. |

Are you serious? The Village Idiot is also grossly overweight or a “Fatso”? He seems to be the only one complaining about gas prices. |
