Re: Earthquake hits Mexico this morning

There was a very popular comedy show on British TV many years ago about the British army in India called "It ain't half hot Mum". Apparently one of the few series that is not available on DVD; neither is it ever repeated apparently because it is considered very "non-PC". Shame!

What were the Germans sending? Stand-up comedians? Alan

And, in all probability, a large number of seriously innocent people.

That was uncalled for. My son-in-law is an idealist. I was with him in a grocery store when he was approached by an ex-con, who thanked my son-in-law for being so fair!

Unless there has been a change in the pontificate recently, no other human being is infallible. We can fix our errors in engineering quite easily; it is very difficult to bring the dead back to life to apologize for an error.

Everyone has their opinion about the death penalty. I think we need more... three strikes = death, quickly by firing squad, no mask ;-)

Oh, yes, I forgot, add rude Nederlanders to the list ;-)

Arizona already has a +20 years ADDER for such occasions.

I prefer the Houston PD approach, "Bang! Bang! Stop! Police!" ;-)

That's for sure... at least Slowman. Most Nederlanders are nice people. But Slowman is no longer a problem... I auto kill all his posts AND ALL follow-ups to his posts, so don't bother poking at him, I won't see it.

Michael really is pig-ignorant.

The Neander Valley (where the first skeletons of Neanderthals were found) is in Germany, not far from D=FCsseldorf. It isn't that far from the Netherlands - my wife and I often fly out of D=FCsseldorf rather than Amsterdam, because we can drive to D=FCsseldorf in less time than it takes us to get to Amsterdam - but since the Netherlands was under water for most of the time the Neanderthals were roaming around Europe, it wouldn't have looked like much of a home to them.

Typical Jim. He keeps forgetting that I'm an Australian, and no citizen of the Netherlands, though I do have an unrestricted residence permit in the Netherlands.

And this is one more of his frequent errors of fact that he will now have to relly on his claque to correct - people like Michael Terrell, who doesn't even know that the Neander Valley is in Germany.

He's creating himself a comfortable little black hole - but unlike the astromer's black hole, which soaks up matter and emits nothing - nothing gets through to Jim's black hole while it pours out misinformation.

In what jurisdiction is that? Even in Arizona simple pot possession gets you the equivalent of a traffic citation (civil infraction), unless you caused a traffic accident, then it's a DUI.

Though one could argue natural selection ;-)
