Any body who has seen what ISIS has done can tell you, they are evil savages. If you really read the the book, or talk to anyone who has served over there, the references are to the Taliban, not those that live on the sidelines. Personally I wouldn't give a flying ^#%^ and let the "savages" kill each other like…

The grievance industry thrives on IO9. I am personally offended by the term CIS, x-tianity, and any number of terms progressive hipsters use. Frankly, I have never met a transgender person who wasn't seriously effed up (and I have worked in the mental health field for quite some time so granted it just may be that…

err, as the planet warms growing seasons are longer, frost lines move north...Al Gore's real inconvenient truth. Be more afraid of Global Cooling cause that is what you can expect for the next 80 years.

less balanced really, the man who makes divisiveness look easy. Sorry, Repub's don't want to use micronukes...a MOAB on the other hand....

Smug little bastards with their self important smirks. This is hubris of the highest nature and grandstanding at its best

Also they aren't that hard to find. There are 3 great shows throughout the year. Tampa, Chicago and San Francisco. At these shows you can find all manner of swords ranging from 1-100k, you can also find fittings, artwork, etc. Demonstrations of polishing and forging; the whole 9 yards :)

I found it at an antique store in a barrel of civil war cutlasses. I paid forty dollars for it. I sent it to Japan to be polished and papered because the condition was so poor. Came back beautiful. Signed Kunimune; it is believed to be Hoki Kunimune. Worth about 500 times my initial investment. I have other…

Rarely was the sword buried unless you were someone of rank. Usually they remained with the family. My prized tachi is over 800 years old and bears marks on the spine from blocking other blades.

you guys ever hear of something called hair extensions?

You guys don't get out much do you...I remain unimpressed. Sorry, looks like a kit bashed viper.

why the South? we have plenty of access here in the Pennsylvania.

"We never truly understand the orcs' plight, nor why they ally with Sauron." The orc's plight? They were created by Morgoth, an evil corruption of Elves, what is their plight? And of course they ally with Sauron, duh, evil!

The people that write these articles (and I use the term loosely) are bereft of any knowledge pre-2000

and plants convert it to O2, without CO2 no plants. No plants, no O2, no O2, no us.

And this is frightening why? CO2 is .03% of the atmosphere. This graphic is colorized for impact. Oooh evil CO2, red, hot danger Will Robinson.

this movie is going to be a mess. they are trying so hard to catch up with Marvel its ridiculous

If not for the Church, we would still be in the Dark Ages. Many of the Orders pursued scientific knowledge vigorously. To say Christianity (not Xtianity) did not, is to dismiss hundreds of years of scientific inquiry. Obviously, your pathological hatred of all things religious is as flawed as a fundamentalist…

I concur, and the indoor range my club has is very strict as to caliber, and ventilation. If the exhaust ever cuts out, the range is shut down.

Sorry about the abrupt reply, your follow-up was thoughtful and explained where you were coming from. My day without coffee should not be taken out on you! The Coming Plague by Laurie Garrett is an excellent primer on virus that can be catastrophic. As for the CDC, they are incompetent at best, modifying protocols…

Many Roman Catholics, of which I am one, have an issue with the term "marriage", we have no issue with homosexuals joining in legal civil unions. Where we have the issue is bootstrapping themselves into the Sacrament of Marriage, and forcing various denominations to perform the ceremony under threat of lawsuit. Much…
