    I'd say our area of intersection is pretty uncontroversial.

      Well seeing as I was trolling you and chose not to hide it unlike yourself yes

        Also, when it comes to said arms, there are plenty of shelters being built by the uber-rich, with anyone not in the in-crowd being lambasted for "prepping". Whether or not those things can withstand a nuclear blast, I don't know.
        Prepping is just another turn on the old "End Times" wheel. There are always people so self-absorbed they refuse to believe the world can continue on after they, God's most special snowflake, die.

            There's a "crowd" of rich bunker people lambasting normal people for preparing for the next WW? Where is this lambasting taking place?

                This reaffirms my having him on ignore. The string of thought in his post reminds me of writing 15 pages about how humans are the AIDS of planet Earth while on acid. But i really wish I had saved that bit

                  The courts. You're an enemy of the state if you have more than seven days worth of food in your house.

                    I can show you an army of old Wisconsin ladies who have more than seven days worth of food stowed away in their pantries and basements in canning jars alone. Only time any of them get to court is for their own guardianship hearing.

                    Which proves that guardianships are the design of jackbooted fascists.

                          A bit disappointed in Obama's response to Netanyahu's speech: "he didn't offer any new ideas" or however he phrased it.

                          Netanyahu was very clear on a "third way": increase the pressure and intensity of sanctions. They already had bite when oil was $100 / bbl, now at $50 / bbl, ramp them up even more, until the Iranians buckle.

                          Iran has already proven that it cannot be trusted, and they are arming Shiite groups across the Middle East (probably assisted by special forces operatives as well): in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Qatar, Iranian-backed forces are in control of substantial territory. Allow Iran to smuggle nuclear weapons to any of them, and boom!

                              You apparently think harsher criticism was warranted. In what way?

                                Based upon the comment and Fishy's lean, I'd say his thought is in the other direction, that said criticism was unwarranted. Dr. Savage is calling the bluff on reading the transcript, though. http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/201...s-to-congress/
