That map is hilarious. Even just the idea of ISIS being able to set foot inside Shia Iran is double-over laughing funny.

Hope smorgasmborg is an American, cause I almost posted dismissive post in which I belittle their/your geography knowledge..

Actually yes, being that the government of Iraq was a big clusterfuck then to. They invaded a country whose government had its foundation built of sand.

Haha, even if this map were true, which it isn't, I think the Islamic State (as they've rebranded themselves from ISIS) would have a bit of a tough go taking territory from not one, but THREE nuclear-armed nations, to say nothing of the terrible things NATO would do to them if they tried to take hold of southeastern…

Even if it was real, so what? My five year plan has me growing three more inches, living on Mars, and finding a box full of money.

The fact that territories include some of the currently most advanced and toughest armies in the world, Israel and Turkey for example make it laughable. It's one thing to take advantage of a weak government and inexperienced armies that run from a fight, but completely another going up against battle hardened troops…

I don't see what the furor is for. This map comes from same source — ToonTown — as the maps we were given by Mr Cheney and Mr Bush of the new and improved Middle East, chock full of bright shiny new democracies, that were going to spring into being as soon as we had our short, victorious war.

Revert? We never left that nonsense behind. Someone's always prepared to exploit that fear.

It's amazing how quickly we revert back to pre-2003 Iraq Invasion levels of spooky terrorist paranoia.

Fox News copyrighted that...

Clearly

Actually, those folks (like Von Danikan) believed the Ark was some kind of radio receiver through which aliens would speak with ancient peoples. (Cough, gag) Later he updated his theory that it was a small nuclear reactor.

Wow, Fox has really streamlined the process.

And Game of Pharoahs goes the way of.....the pharoahs.

I agree that she's young, but she's an adult. I guess I think it's not a good idea to kind of infantilize a grown woman, even if she's still a young woman.

If we ignore her and her snot-nosed, bratty antics, she'll go away. Same with the Kardashians. Let's get on this.

Also, Richardson wouldn't creep on her, she's way too well known and protected. Like all predators he likes his relationship power balance tilted firmly his way. That's why he sticks to aspiring models.

She's 21 and not a child. But of course because she's a young white woman we can continue to excuse her behavior because of her youth whereas young PoC accused of crimes are called adults the second they turn 18 and sometimes before.

Unpopular opinion probably, but this is just rich girl nonsense to me. Money can keep you isolated from a lot (not all, so don't crucify me) of terrible shit (like Miley doesn't *need* to pose for Richardson to send money back home to her family in Eastern Europe). Miley has been swaddled in the safety of…

and this is why you always vote, even if you're not ecstatic about the candidates.
