Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

Rock music = torture? And now the rock musicians are complaining...

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — Blaring from a speaker behind a metal grate in his tiny cell in Iraq, the blistering rock from Nine Inch Nails hit Prisoner No. 200343 like a sonic bludgeon.

"Stains like the blood on your teeth," Trent Reznor snarled over distorted guitars. "Bite. Chew."

The auditory assault went on for days, then weeks, then months at the U.S. military detention center in Iraq. Twenty hours a day. AC/DC. Queen. Pantera. The prisoner, military contractor Donald Vance of Chicago, told The Associated Press he was soon suicidal.

The tactic has been common in the U.S. war on terror, with forces systematically using loud music on hundreds of detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, then the U.S. military commander in Iraq, authorized it on Sept. 14, 2003, "to create fear, disorient ... and prolong capture shock."

Did you guys know they have Christmas Goldfish? They are soooooo cute! Little trees, stockings, and fish. You have just got to get some of these!

Tink should I send you this one? I am pretty sure I don't have all the parts to hook it up. And I agree he is lying. I think this will be fun to watch for awhile.

Rock music torture? That's a new one.

Did you guys see Disney Cruise line put our a new discount today? I think it is kids free on a 3 day until May? Like 3 days is ling enough? Silly people that is just a teaser!

'unnamed aide' said that the Ax was lying ...

'met' - note the past tense of the article....

then, this news organization backpeddled...



so, who is lying?

depends on the definition of "is".

How much did you pay for the Wii? My sis said that Wii's there in IN are around $150, they're way more than that here.

I'll talk about underwear on someone's head. Especially if it gets me a tag!
I don't know how rock music and underwear heads are torture. Boys do it all the time.

Popping in again to say night, all!

I'm praying I'll return tomorrow night with good news. I'm scared out of my mind right now, frankly. Must. Get. A. Grip. I'll be of no use to anyone if I pass out cold from high blood pressure.

 

[studentmom]

Hockeymom- That is great about the new job! I am so excited for you.

Hugs, sweetie. Take it easy. We'll be praying for you.

I don't even want to go there with another one of BHO's naughty, corrupt friends getting caught(well they were his friends until they got busted and he denies them). Makes me sick to my tummy.

Can't, studentmom, or won't?

 

[studentmom]

Both, lol. I just get so angry. That and I'm tired and I'll probably say something that I'll regret in the morning.

I'll talk about underwear. Does anyone wonder if their doc wears boxers or briefs?

I do... I have a crush on my endo's assistant doc. I think he's a boxer brief kind of guy.

Hugs, prayers, and calming thoughts, SD.

I'm going to have an eye exam tomorrow. Haven't had one in about 25 years...and I'm getting horrible headaches from the computer and when I try to make jewelry. Thinking it's time for some reading (and small work) glasses. Is it weird that when I went to look at frames yesterday I didn't like any of the women's ones? I may end up with men's frames. All the women's ones are really small, and I don't like to see my rims right across my line of sight.

Today I went shopping for veterans. Our little community market has a giving tree up for veterans and there are just scads of tags. I grabbed three, and after I shopped and returned those, I grabbed three more to shop for tomorrow while I'm out. They are asking for such small things... I'm having a blast being "secret Santa," and feeling really blessed that I can do it. Most years we haven't been able to do anything more than participating in the kids' food drives and giving time to the little charity I work with.

My husband made me fall in love with him all over again today. I was telling him how much the kids and I enjoyed buying presents for two kids from the giving tree at the Y last week, and he asked me if the tree was empty (all the childrens' tags gone). I didn't know. He told me to go back and find out, and if it isn't empty, to make it empty and use his card. We are temporarily using separate checking accounts because it is easier than trying to manage a single checkbook when we are not in the same country. I have a debit card for his account, though, which is what he was referring to. My husband has eleven siblings. He knows what it is like to not have much, and knows that he was fortunate to have what they did just the same. I think he, like me, is just feeling really blessed to be able to help others this year. Anyhow, I thought it was so darn sweet of him.

This crowd not drink?.....I'll believe that when I see it.

Did you see how many Blitzens there were....just saying



Sorry if I'm offending anyone today folks - I'm full of snarky! blunt and brutal...

Want some rum?

Did you guys know they have Christmas Goldfish? They are soooooo cute! Little trees, stockings, and fish. You have just got to get some of these!

No way! Christmas goldfish! I gotta get some of those! My kids love goldfish. I'll stick them in a bowl on Saturday when we have our Christmas party and they will be thrilled to death. Thanks for mentioning them!
