Orca of Peace

Israel has killed 2 medics, one a girl shot in the back, 2-4 well tagged journalists and lots of innocent unarmed protestors - 2 guys in wheelchairs shot in the head. They have killed about 150 protestors on the Gaza border this year alone. Not to mention the weekly killings of West Bank protestors, home demolitions, settler burning crops, vandalizing cars, smashing home windows etc. etc. For 50 years. It's understandable why the Palestinians are pissed off at the daily dehumanization.

next time -- US of A

only 8 countries have won it and only 13 countries have participated in the Finals.

too many countries using Red White Blue

i have no idea about this sport, but France has nice young skilled players - their goals looked so easy with the phenomenal footwork. WC should be every 3 years, it's mesmerizing.

that Isner - Anderson match had to be the tallest of all time, right? My god, whatever happened to the 5'10 - 6'1 players?

some of whom sported female genitals as medals pics or gtfo?

you didn't answer my 2nd question

what do you think? A great place to vacay? https://torontosun.com/news/world/gang-rape-cannibalism-beheadings-rife-in-congo-slaughterhouse The Congo has become the world’s slaughterhouse and the bottom of the barrel in human depravity. A horrific new report says boys have been forced to rape their mothers, cannibal soldiers are feasting on the flesh and blood of the dying victims and there are beheadings on a daily basis. United Nations investigators have uncovered a horror show in the Kasai region where rebels and government forces have committed unspeakable atrocities. Last week, investigators told the UN’s Human Rights Council they suspected all sides were guilty of crimes against humanity. A Congolese soldier in the field. A UN report lists a staggering array of depravity in the civil war. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS “One victim told us that in May 2017 she saw a group of Kamuina Nsapu militia, some of whom sported female genitals as medals,” the report said. “Some witnesses recalled seeing people cutting up, cooking and eating human flesh, including penises cut from men who were still alive and from corpses, especially FARDC, and drinking human blood.” According to the report, in one massacre, 186 village men and boys were beheaded. The civil war exploded in late 2016 and involves Kamuina Nsapu and Bana Mura militias and Congo’s armed forces, the FARDC. The 126-page report contains a catalogue of disturbing bloodletting. Among the claims: — Boys being forced to rape their mothers — Girls told witchcraft would enable them to catch bullets — Women forced to choose between gang rape and death. Congo’s human rights minister claims she was shocked by the report and that the government is looking into it. Many of the rebel fighters are young children who have been forced to fight. Most are unarmed or using just sticks. The kids believe a witch doctor’s magic makes them invulnerable. The UN report said many of the child soldiers were slaughtered when FARDC soldiers machine-gunned them. “The bodies were often buried in mass graves … or were sometimes piled in trucks by soldiers to be buried elsewhere,” the report said. Investigators believe there may be hundreds of mass graves scattered about the desperate African country.

In 2015, the most over-represented state (Wyoming) was 306 percent better represented than it would be under a proportionate system. this is a great article about the Electoral college biases - https://www.thenation.com/article/the-electoral-college-is-even-more-biased-than-you-think-heres-how-democrats-can-beat-it/

https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2016/11/22/13713148/electoral-college-democracy-race-white-voters After running the numbers, we estimate that, per voter, whites have 16 percent more power than blacks once the Electoral College is taken into consideration, 28 percent more power than Latinos, and 57 percent more power than those who fall into the other category.

indeed, life golden choices slip through the fingers so fast. It's happened to me with a couple of big things and will regret for a lifetime. It's a pain that's not undone.

the 435 House # is ok since is all proportional, based on the 10 year Census. Meaning, even if you had 1000 Representatives, would not make a bit of difference (aside for possibly redoing districts ie gerrymandering, to give blacks/latinos more votes)

Senate was meant to supercede public passions, note that a Senator serves 6 damn years which is more than the POTUS. Senate is designed to be ultra conservative.

isn't the Senate supposed to balance out regional weights then?

self centeredness has permeated all aspects of society

so the Men's final 8.00am overlaps the World Cup 10.00am final? the Balkans will be orgasmic if the Serb won and Croatia beats France.

Butler is not a good 3 guy. Overvalued.

the cop was put on desk duty or suspended.. but resigned voluntarily the next day. Still, my legal question is open.

back to the Puerto Rico incident, it's been elevated to a hate crime felony... but why is that? Why not a misdemeanor?

Rox will have 3 guys totaling $100mil/yr right? Life is getting expensive.

how many One & Done guys won the college title? Carmelo and Anthony Davis IIRC. I'm talking top 10 picks . We know UNC, Duke, Kentucky have won titles in the last 15 years but it was a team effort with several one year players (AD had a loaded team also but he's a special case)

she's way past her prime by at least 10 years. No young hotties in OH??? She has the name and fame so that's the draw but still eeewww!

I think HOU will struggle to get to 55 wins
