National & International Politics / Re: The bomb in your pocket
Last post by patric - November 10, 2024, 06:43:27 PMQuote from: heironymouspasparagus on November 08, 2024, 04:29:56 PMBigger overview of this mess, from about 1900 til now. Israeli's have made the claim, and you have to realize they fudge numbers just like the Palestinians, that about 25,000 Israelis have died compared to 90,000 Palestinians. 4:1 ratio is what they admit to. Other less biased sources claim 6:1 on up to 10:1.
Israel bombed three countries just today alone, but who is counting...

The Burbs / Re: Oklahoma City, In The Pres...
Last post by patric - November 09, 2024, 06:47:29 PMAn Oklahoma City officer is under investigation for using force on an elderly driver, leaving the man seriously injured.
It started with the officer giving Lich Vu a ticket for causing a minor crash, but ended with Vu unconscious and in handcuffs.
Oklahoma City police released body cam footage more than a week after the encounter. There appears to be a language barrier, the officer later telling Lich if he doesn't sign the ticket, he will be taken to jail. Lich appears to hit the officer's chest lightly and tells the officer to 'shut up.'
The officer then grabs Lich and forcefully takes him to the ground. Lich suffered "serious injuries" according to police.
In a report, the officer writing, "I perceived Lich touching me that things were going to escalate."

Last post by Laramie - November 09, 2024, 01:15:46 PMQuote from: Tulsan on September 01, 2024, 02:13:45 PMThey've lifted the curtain on this thing. Going out to developers for RFQ soon. Sounds like they'll use same financing mechanism as OKC for the Omni - big TIF, no voter approval. I assume this means they have ironed out whatever issues have been slowing down the State Farm building purchase for TPD HQ.
I'm glad to see they're looking to go vertical. The concept shows 30ish stories, translates to 400'-ish of height.

OMG, This will be awesome and add to the Tulsa skyline. At 650 rooms it will top the 605 room OKC Omni. Hope this comes to fruition and they keep the height and design.
Go T-town . . .

Chat and Advice / Re: Too Crazy for FOX
Last post by heironymouspasparagus - November 08, 2024, 04:33:31 PMQuote from: patric on November 01, 2024, 03:21:54 PMTucker Carlson, the former CNN and Fox News political chat host, has said he was "physically mauled" by a demon a year and a half ago, in an assault that he says left him bleeding and with scars from "claw marks".
Asked if he was referring to journalism, Carlson responded: "No, in my bed at night. I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs and mauled, physically mauled."

Or are we just supposed to go along with Israel is the evil occupier oppressor?
Hezbollah drops a rocket and kills 12 children at a soccer field. Tell me what part of the war were they involved in. How about the 12 athletes at the Munich games in 1972 that were executed?
I hate the deaths of innocents on bothering sides, but Hezbollah and Hamas have made innocents valuable targets and I can't get upset over what happened with the pager and two way radio devices because they made the choice that everywhere is now a battlefield and collateral damage and death is part of the new rules they created.
