LOL - if you wanna play "Who has more class: Obama or Donald?" I'd be happy to! You've already used your best example. Some old clip from the start of his first term. It's like when you guys try to pretend he's stupid but the only piece of evidence you ever have to back it up is that one clip during the 2008 election where he said "57 states." “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Yet another group of people afraid to hurt anyone's feelings. There are winners and losers. In school, the Valedictorian "won"...that does not mean they'll so the best in life (at least one study shows it doesn't), but it does mean they were the best student in the class. Wins and losses are what help shape us and drive us towards being better. Everyone being the same is a horrid goal. |

That more than a small few even get a 4.0 is bad enough. This is a reason more and more are skipping college. Education is becoming more and more a wasteland. The President is a fink. |

kenarman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 14 Posts: 4530 | A US destroyer was rammed and seriously damaged by a freight near Japan. How the hell does a destroyer get rammed. Are there any Navy vets on the board? I thought they were watching for attack 24/7 how can a freighter ram them without them seeing the freighter in plenty of time to react?

I can't imagine there being less than two sailors responsible for a watch at all times. Maybe more. Not to mention any electronic warnings. Sounds like court martials will be in the works unless they're among the missing. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | A recently frocked petty officer was thought to have been mising but was found hiding in the engine spaces. It looks like a section 8 for him. He was a gas turbine mechanic so I don't see how he could be responsible but perhaps the recent frocking involved a change of duties. There is a reason why it is a court martial offense for anyone but the officer of the watch to speak to the helmsman or even to approach him. |
