Re: Racism
John, The reason I question that Trump would have made any racist comment about Obama as you claim is that by the time Trump decided to run for President, June 2015, Obama was in his second term and already leaving office. Your sentence implies that the comments were made "When Obama got to be POTUS...

Re: Chaos in USA
Llondel,
I would be interested in knowing the names and organisations of the fact checkers so that I can fact check them. Could you please provide this information?

Re: Racism
No John, Still not good enough. You are deflecting the discussion. You claim was: When Obama got to be POTUS he was subjected race based opposition from whites of the highest levels, why was that? Please answer regarding this first statement or should we say you simply mis-spoke. Who and when from t...

Re: Racism
No John, You have now raised birtherism which was never a part of your original claim. You said "when Obama got to be POTUS...". When Obama got to be POTUS he was subjected race based opposition from whites of the highest levels, why was that? "Birtherism" raises questions about someones ability to ...

Re: Racism
A) As far as I know none despite the fact they have demonstrated high risk lifestyles, illegal firearms. drugs etc., but then I care sod all for them, their fame and their lifestyles. B) Do you have specific examples of your claim of "race based" opposition? I doubt very much if anyone at "the highe...

Re: Racism
John, The income gap is certainly there generally but for many years there have been high earning black people. How do you rationalise the fact that black Americans are absolutely dominant in US sport, even in the snooty world of golf, and they are paid enormous incomes? Do you not think that this i...

Re: Racism
No UP, it is simply that although the individuals of the "human" species are identical at a basic level we can expect slight modifications to take place to adapt to various different ways of life. We see this at a micro level in our own communities, traditionally a farm labourer will develop differe...

Re: Racism
Probably because there was a void in the eco-system that was not occupied. The tiny crawling creature decided that he was fed up of being trampled by dinosaurs and nibbled by rats so he decided to live under the topsoil. If you live under the topsoil for long enough you don't need arms and legs, thi...

Re: Racism
It would seem obvious, but be careful, to assume that early man would evolve in the more beneficent parts of the world. Pleasant temperatures, vast amounts of food, low populations. What then drove people living under these conditions to trek into less friendly zones eventually including those exact...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
Time for a rant. Bloody car 'phone system. You change to the 'phone screen and by default displayed there are your "favourite" numbers so you can call all of your brainless friends. No, says I, I want the "Recent" phone call list to be displayed as default since I use my phone for business and I wan...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
A whiz-wheel is only as good as the information put into it. The best information is from the INS but if you have INS you don't need the whiz-wheel. If you don't have the INS and you are dependent on forecasts then you are just about as well off using the old training drift, track and groundspeed ru...

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks
Llondel, The first thing is that police departments do not usually spend much money on those "military toys". The Fed Govt has surplus equipment some of which is offered to government entities first and if not supplied to them the items are sold to the public. Some items cannot be sold to the public...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
I've got a geeky friend and one of his activities is to rebuild obsolete calculators so that they look original but have a modern CPU. Apparently some company has actually come out with an upgraded version of the Z80 CPU called the Z180.

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
As I was leaving the RAF and prepping for my ATPL I needed a whiz-wheel. Not having much hope of success I visited a book store in Grantham that sold various additional related items and asked if they ever sold aviation computers. To my surprise they had two beautiful German Aristo Aviats that they ...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
I can't help thinking that their use of the word "segregated" was rather unfortunate. Black students insist on renewed segregation.

Re: Black Lives Matter Bollocks
If you are going to tell a police officer you have a weapon be very careful how you do it. Traffic stop... "Officer I have a gun." Instant panic. Try... with both hands on the steering wheel and in view. "Officer I have a permit to carry a gun. The gun is in a holster on my belt. What would you like...

pp I just hit the laundry list of problems, the final facts in this case will be exposed. I take your point about the T-shirt but there are still confusing factors. When someone is moving the shirt gets stretched across the body. It is quite possible that an original bullet entry point into the T-sh...

Would you have felt better if the police had induced a gunfight with the kid in a crowded place? By this stage he had surely...
