It's kind of like that here. Throughout history, when racists and xenophobes have wanted to stir people up, they've said, They're raping our women! So now we sensitive and enlightened people know, you can't ever say of outsiders or newcomers, They're raping our women! Even if, you know, they actually are. Besides, what do you mean "our," mister?; १/६/१६, १०:०५ AM

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: Democrat Daniel Riemer, a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly thinks its a great idea for Wisconsin to accept refugees from Syria.

I am fully in support of this.

Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...: I like the bacon grease idea. Not sure that would actually work though -.wouldnt the heat through the air melt the grease? I read somewhere that the Brits really hadn't done this to the Muzzies back in what is now mostly Pakistan. What is most important is that they think it might work. Still, if it doesn't work, wouldn't there still be a market for special purpose anti-Muzzie rounds? Maybe seal in the bacon grease in the hollow of the hollow points. Maybe call them Jihadi Specials. Something like that. Unfortunately, probably won't be acceptable for our troops in Afghanistan, and now again, in Iraq. (I found out the other day that the .223 rounds used in M-16s were designed to tumble after impact because hollow points are banned by, I believe, the Geneva Convention - expect this sort of thing would be equally verboten)..; १/६/१६, ११:२० AM
Constitutional Insurgent म्हणाले...: @ Bruce - If not sealed at the end, it would most surely happen; perhaps even if teflon coated. A company did however, coat their rounds with a bacon grease infused paint. Jihawg Ammo is apparently though, no longer available.

Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...: Not sure about the advisability of a Glock 19 for concealed carry for those women. In my view, Glocks are one of those guns that should only be carried in a holster (or case). Never loose in a purse. Or never carry with a round in the chamber. The problem is that they don't have a real safety, but rather are "safe action", which means that they can be dropped several stories and won't go off, but will if anything is in the trigger guard, which is why a purse would be so dangerous. And determining whether there is a round in the chamber is not easy either. I like the Springfield Armory system there much better. I am currently primarily shooting a G 17 (the slightly bigger brother for the mentioned G 17), and would love to replace it with a Sig, or if I can't find that much money, Springfield. I tried a G 19 a couple months ago, and just don't shoot it as well as my G 17. But then, Mike wasn't talking about arming adult males, but rather vulnerable females. Still, for a lot of women, I would probably go even smaller, lighter, and maybe smaller caliber.; १/६/१६, ११:३९ AM

That said, opportunistic abandonment, progressive wars, impulsive regime changes, and mass emigration (exceeding assimilation and integration) from existing and created second and third-world nations have predictable consequences. Not everyone is Islamic or Christian or Atheist or Pro-Choice etc.; १/६/१६, १२:०५ PM

A group of Russian men thoroughly beat the living crap out of them. The police showed up and essentially did nothing. Just as in Texas where reportedly "he deserved killing" is considered an acceptable defense, the Russian police decided that those "refugees" deserved their ass whipping.

This is what it's going to take to teach the refugees that certain behavior is unacceptable. I doubt anything short of that will make them change their behavior. Unfortunately, it seems many western men (term used generously) are too civilized to do what is necessary.; १/६/१६, १२:०६ PM

buwaya म्हणाले...: Little known, but the iconic Mexican tune "La Cucaracha" is actually a Spanish folksong, though at this time it is utterly forgotten in Spain.

It is of course very well suited to topical doggerel, and so it has been applied for various causes. There are versions that were sung against Napoleon, for instance. But for ancient historical reasons most versions seem to have been anti-Moorish/anti-Muslim.
Some collections of lyrics, from perhaps the 18th-19th century, include -

De la patillas de un moro
tengo que hacer una escoba,
para que barra el cuartel
la infantería española.

"From the whiskers of a Moor
I've got to make a broom
to sweep the barracks
of the Spanish infantry"

Del pellejo del rey moro
tengo que hacer un sofá,
para que se siente en él
el Capitán General.

"From the hide of the Moorish King
I'll make a sofa
So as to make a seat
for the Captain-General"

De las costillas de un moro
me atrevo a formar un puente,
para que pase la España
y su ejército valiente.

Big Mike म्हणाले...: @Bruce Hayden, you offer valid criticisms. The advantage of the Glock 19 is that it's sized for a woman's hand but carries 15 rounds. There are basically five solutions for the problem you raised.

(1) Many purses have pockets large enough for a compact semi-automatic, and the pocket will keep loose items from engaging the trigger.

(2) Concealed carry purses used to be very un-stylish (because designed by men without feminine input), but these days are made of good leather and feature good hardware, therefore much more attractive.

(3) There are holsters that a woman can use under loose clothing. Note that at the end of the video the model is concealing her handgun under a bikini bottom and loose beach cover-up. Hey! Eyes on the holster, not her torso!

(4) The Flash Bang under bra holster. A woman doesn't have to be as well-endowed as the model in this video, but should be at least a B to avoid people being able to see that she's got a holster.

(5) A Smith & Wesson hammerless J-frame snub nose revolver. The downside of the S&W snubbie is that it carries only five rounds, though the model 351PD is chambered for .22 Magnum, which hits pretty hard, and carries seven rounds.; १/६/१६, १:२३ PM

André Pascal, about 1966 as I recall. He and Paul Mauriat teamed up to create songs for the new kid Mireille Mathieu.

Etienne म्हणाले...: My mother returned to France for a family visit in 1967. She had been away for 20 years, and one of her older sisters had died. When she came home she had a 45 RPM record of Mireille Mathieu. Our family name is Mathieu, so I found that interesting (turns out Mathieu in France is like Jones in America, ha).

My brothers held their noses (being rock n roll types), but I was intrigued. I told my mother I liked it. She then wrote her other sister, and she sent us a few albums. Oh my, I wore the grooves out on those. The only place I saw her records (cassette tapes actually) was in Germany and Arabia. Never in the states.

Temporary ban proposed in the context of Hillary and Obama suggesting that we should accept hundreds of thousands of "refugees" from Syria. I can understand why these refugees weigh heavily on their conscience, and never mind the thousand sexual assaults and robberies carried out by these refugees In cologne on New Year's Eve alone, remember that "refugees" with Syrian passports were among the perpetrators in the Paris attacks, nobody knows yet who was behind the most recent Egypt Air bombing, which seems to have disappeared from the news, I guess on the grounds that it helps Trump and hurts Hillary.

I have admitted many times that Trump is far from a perfect candidate and can be sloppy with his language, but if your argument against controlling immigration from a population that does not believe in democracy, women's, or gay rights, just for starters, is that it can't be done perfectly, so we shouldn't even attempt it, good luck with that argument in the general election.

Remember the choice is Hillary, who had a large hand in creating this refugee mess in the first place.; २/६/१६, ४:५९ AM
Just asking questions (Jaq) म्हणाले...: A lot of the arguments for Trump fall apart if Bernie is the candidate, but they hold if it is Biden, IMHO.; २/६/१६, ५:०० AM

Not even remotely my argument. I believe that we should institute a travel and student visa ban for a moderate list of named countries, for travelers coming from, travelled to or have home of origin in those nations.; २/६/१६, ७:४८ AM
Just asking questions (Jaq) म्हणाले...: So your position is the same as Trumps, just more carefully stated. Noted. I am not sure why you made a big deal out of it.; २/६/१६, ९:२८ AM
Constitutional Insurgent म्हणाले...: My position was not to ban "Muslim immigrants", which is exactly what Trump stated. Why wouldn't you hold accountable, the candidate who claims to represent you?

The "big deal" is that his STATED plan was entirely infeasible. I thought we looked for some semblance of intellect in a POTUS.; २/६/१६, ९:३८ AM
Just asking questions (Jaq) म्हणाले...: These are our choices. When Hillary is gone, I will talk about Trump's sloppy rhetoric. Now he is better than Clinton hands down.; २/६/१६, १०:२६ AM
