The original Diaclone toys, before the deal with Hasbro, didn't just have cockpits and seats for tiny pilots, they also came with the tiny pilots.

As impressive as the obvious Russian corruption is, I think it's worth noting how ridiculously corrupt and twisted spending on the Olympics is even before the Russian kleptocracy gets involved.

12 BILLION dollars to host a sporting event. That is fucking ridiculous. It cost 450 million to launch a space shuttle. The…

$43 Billion over budget, nothing done nearly on time, corrupt politicians, endless graft everywhere you look. I like Boston's chances in 2022, after the Big Dig they have shown they've got what it takes.

You username in - this thread - lends credence to your comment.

Truly though, Kristy was always such a bitch to Watson, who did literally nothing but marry her mom and be nice to her.

I work in shipping, and the first time I heard port charges mentioned for Cartagena my jaw damn near hit the floor.

I personally was in a very bad position while there. I was brought back after running and beaten again, this time I received 100 lashes and a couple real nice cuts and scars to this day. I have a sister that had gotten married and she helped me get out. It took two and a half years before she found out where I was.…

This is sort of like living out the plot of Wall-E

You caught me. I am a tourist from Idaho.

I'm also sure that the crew genuinely love her. Which is priceless and probably really good for her health.

MY opinion of the people who worked there is that of sadists. They enjoyed the beatings and would actually laugh when they broke the skin and made you bleed. I realize this is very hard to believe but it was true and I experienced it first hand. Let me clear this up for you, not all who worked there were a part of the…

Zero.

Firstly, I was there because I ran away from home. Unfortunately not all of us had that wonderful family life. By the time I was 13 years old I had 5 stepfathers and don't recall a one that wasn't abusive. I broke the tip off of a knife and was beaten like a man with his fists, so I ran away, so my only problem at the…

I've done the same thing except at DisneyWorld because I've never been on a cruise ship because Watson wouldn't buy me a ticket, that rich asshole.

Damn. I'm mad jelly.

I wonder how many times a year she gets the norovirus.

Glad she's spending all of that attention on herself after what was no doubt a terribly difficult life of going without.

I am familiar with the experiment, as far as the associating it with the school I would say it does not. The mind set of the people who ran the school was that of sadist and pedophiles. Many of the children were sexually abused and psychologically abused as well as physically. The men who worked there enjoyed the…

Just knowing about it helps actually. For decades it was our dirty little secret and the average Canadian knew nothing of what happened in those places. Some even thought of it as "private school" and would rant about how they never got to go to a "fancy boarding school". These are the comments that hurt. They ignore…

So often when shit like this goes down - especially in places like Florida, I get to play smug Canadian, but unfortunately we have the same shameful legacy with Aboriginal Kids that we ripped from their loving families to give 'em a good, Christian Education...sigh. At first I thought this story might have been about…
