The Akita. A Japanese dog. Fact: Its presence in Japan was one of the many reasons nation-building worked there, and its lack in Iraq was a major factor in dooming nation-building there to failure.

Crimso, How so? - the effect of dogs on culture sounds like an interesting notion and something I've not heard before. Care to expand on the idea a bit?
Sorry to be a downer, so scroll on by if you want to keep your Friday good mood---but my senator just gave a speech talking about how reproductive rights are empowering for women, and I’m seeing this naked evil of the abortion industry.
It’s strange to think about but there were people who volunteered to work the camps. Not everyone there was only following orders and working down the point of a gun. There is something dark in the human mind, and we would have to agree that there are people who have that quirk that seeks out death, that is attracted to some of the uglier aspects of the world. Some people like gore. Usually its harmless gross-out horror movies, the enjoyment is the feeling of knowing this is gross. I think people like going with friends and its more about laughter at how gross it is- cause everyone knows its fake. However for some people the gross-out movie is not enough. They seek out the snuff film or the graphic youtube video.
The abortion industry attracts these people, these are not sunshine and happiness nurses helping people. These are not feminists who just want to help women be strong- (cause if that was what they wanted to do we could think of a dozen more productive ways to advance women's equality.) These people want something else. These are people like Kermit Gosnell who was only convicted because inspectors found the evidence that he saved glass jars filled with tiny feet. And it should be noted it was not just Dr Gosnell- a man who is currently sitting in his jail cell still saying that he has done nothing wrong- it was more than just him. This was a fully functional and staffed clinic- with nurses, and CNAs, and janitors and clinic escorts and volunteers guarding the parking lot against those crazy pro-life nuns out there saying their beads. All of these people knew all about what was going on, and they liked it. People who are drawn to and attracted to this type of behavior seek it out, they get off on just being close to it.
Don't worry, even though it was her private server and not as protected as State's, she didn't handle any sensitive or secret business on it. Oh, you want to see copies? Sure, but we have to redact most of it, for national security reasons. Too sensitive, you see.
The worst part is I'm pretty sure she'll get away with it.
I took Mike Morell's statement on TV the other day as awarning to Hillary! that her e-mails do exist and will be produced if she does not mind her manners.
That's a weird mental space to go to when a spouse is in the hospital...and you're a guest in someone's home. It's usually the host that does something like that.
Well, we were talking about suffering, generations, and 9-11 came up. She didn't introduce the topic, to be sure. We were talking about a cousin who died there, another who escaped the building and other extended family who still suffer lung problems and will all their life. I guess probably more than half my friends believe the same thing.
I will let it go. She is in a tough spot. We can help her. I never met her before two days ago.
I will never understand though, why people don't think that Clinton's cruise missile attack on bin Laden's camp in Afghanistan was sufficient provocation.
I do live in Vermont where Democrats all believe that Republicans are kooks who think the moon landing was faked and also believe that Bush was behind 9-11.
I am sort of grateful to her though. Before now I never crystallized the thought that Bill Clinton, without UN approval, committed an act of war on behalf of the US on Afghanistan and attempted an assassination on their sovereign soil.
"I will never understand though, why people don't think that Clinton's cruise missile attack on bin Laden's camp in Afghanistan was sufficient provocation. "
That's because it wasn't. The specific provocation was infidel boots on the sacred ground of the birthplace of Muhammad — Mecca, and the other holy sites — Medina, etc. — Coalition troops leftover after the Gulf War. If the West's economies were not dependent on oil shipped through the Persian Gulf, we never would have put ourselves in positions where we could be made into hostages in the generations-old Islamic civil war. GWB didn't cause 9/11. He was the first U.S. president to fully face the reality of Islamist terror and of what our fate will be if we don't resolve our role in it.

With a dog like that we could whittle the cat population down in our neighborhood...

If you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.

Sorry, sparrow, was being sarcastic. Couldn't resist spilling over from the preceding comment thread when I saw a Japanese dog.
But akitas are cool dogs.
@madAsHell, lol.. Yeah, what is she doing?

They make 'em a lot better than they did in the 60's. Soon they'll be subcontracting out the simpler parts to China.

Dunno, they look pretty warm to me.
Legal Insurection: State releases Hillary's redacted emails
Don't worry, even though it was her private server and not as protected as State's, she didn't handle any sensitive or secret business on it.

I've never known a friendly healthy dog who didn't appreciate having his spine massaged -- especially at the place where his spine becomes his tail.
I took Mike Morell's statement on TV the other day as awarning to Hillary! that her e-mails do exist and will be produced if she does not mind her manners.
Joseph Dudzik is gone.
Rest in peace, Joey the Dud.
Is this where the batteries go?
OK, we have been letting a lady stay in our house for a few days because she is a friend of a friend and her husband is in a nearby hospital.
Today at breakfast she starts off on how Bush was behind 9-11. How much Christian charity do I owe her?
