Do you think I should reach out to Rank and see if he'll refund my $167 after getting caught red-handed with my phone? He seems to be in a decent mood lately, so I figured it might be worth a shot...
Peter Thompson4 said:Look, this isn't some big-time ad or anything, but I’m heading back home for the holidays and I’ve got a couple of iPhones on me—specifically those new S6 64GB models—so if anyone's actually looking, just shoot me a DM. I figured I’d offer them to you guys first before I bother posting them on Craigslist or whatever, just in case someone here wants to snag one.
New Year's Day celebrations, fireworks went off prematurely.
What part is unclear? The Israelis neutralized the bomber, yet they somehow overlooked the explosives still attached to him and proceeded with their routine patrol... 🤣
The Epilogue becomes apparent after just a few seconds.
I ended up seeing this mostly because circumstances forced my hand—there isn't much worth watching in theaters right now—and while the genre isn't really my cup of tea, let alone something I’d choose for a cinema outing... I walked away pleasantly surprised. Everything was masterfully executed, particularly the casting; Tom Hanks was absolutely stellar. Definitely worth a watch...
I’ve been finding these recent commercials about kids on TV quite amusing, particularly the one titled "How I Was Made"... Rather than educating children on biological origins, perhaps a simpler approach would be to just say "Mom and Dad fell in love and then you happened"... Though, given it's 2015, I suppose we should expect more...
I suppose I have to agree; it’s perfectly standard for 86% of Americans to believe that abandoning the faith should be met with a death sentence. Well, they aren't actually Americans and it isn't their specific faith, but it's close enough for the sake of the argument...

So what? Even in China, they crack down on their Muslim population quite regularly whenever anyone dares to raise their head and demand basic rights that we in the West would consider standard...
It is simply much easier and more convenient to go after European cartoonists for drawing Muhammad; it’s much nicer living in Germany or Denmark where you can collect social benefits while just waiting for the right moment to show the infidels who's boss. Trying to get active in China? Well, it's difficult to be a terrorist in countries where life isn't particularly pleasant, and when you lack fundamental rights, there aren't any civil liberties groups rushing to your rescue... zero points.
Honestly guys, the Spanish colonized half the globe and nobody is out there trying to reclaim territory today. People are living in 2015 and leaving the past exactly where it belongs...
The perpetrators behind that attack in Paris made their motivations perfectly clear, yet we can certainly pretend we possess a deeper understanding of their intent than they do themselves... Much like how editors at satirical magazines aren't targeted because of their faith, but rather for entirely different reasons 🐔 so perhaps some genius could enlighten us on the true purpose behind these strikes, though I'm sure the federal authorities will eventually uncover the real motive...
Personally, I couldn't care less; I know we aren't a target here in the States, so Europe can deal with its own mess however it sees fit
And if our primary defense in 2015 is going to be "well, they haven't killed as many people as the West has," then there really isn't any point in continuing this conversation
