About
I don't have any particular political affiliation but will attach myself to certain issues. I don't like "jargon" to describe people or issues, like "liberal"; I think it's lazy and replaces critical thinking. I read a lot and I put polls up on issues when I want to compare my opinions against those of others. Often I'm surprised and that's what I like about Ask500. I'm back in Maine (thank god) now after having spent 8 months in Germany and 6 weeks in Krakow, Poland.
I'm getting ready to go back to Warsaw to get some dental work done. I need a kick in the pants to make me appreciate my homeland again. I'm so tired of the political divisions that seem to be insurmountable. No amount of pleading seems to make either party consider the welfare of the people they represent first.
In July I'm going to Jelenia Gora, Poland to finish the dental work. One of my sons is coming with me. I despair for my country. We elect a president and then try to tear him down and expect miracles from someone who in the end is only a human being. And yet we don't try to support and help him. It's sad. If you want to see what a failed country is like travel; maybe you will appreciate what you have and try to contribute instead of trying to destroy it just because it doesn't always reflect your personal desires and wants.

During the height of the terrorist campaign in Northern Ireland, the IRA were using radio controlled detonators for some of their bombs, rather than the wire detonated or timer ones they had before.
The Army set up a squad of vehicles equipped with radio tranmitters that duplicated the signals of the detonators. After a few premature explosions at bomb factories, the "provos" went off r/c detonations :))
I am just as sad/happy when any ammunitions factory in any part of the world blows up killing all workers.
I am sad they feel the need to make the bombs, I am sad that two people got killed, I am glad that they did not kill more, I am glad they will never make bombs again.
They would have gotten killed anyway, so better they only took out themselves instead of people they didn't even know who had done them no harm. Right?
Right, but it would have been better still, if they had not had the urge.
serves them right for messing around with explosives. I wish all bombs wold blow up before hitting their target.
sorry, not all, just those whom are directed at people
I think that it's simply fantastic. It's just too bad they didn't take more members of their club with them.
One good thing is, they won't have to be buried. All they have to do is sweep the pieces under the rugs all over the neighborhood.
Spot on.
Just a shame there was not a pig passing by at the time :)
Sad, but not terribly forgiving.
What kind of anwers are these?? Wow, slightly colored... I am sad but don't forgive them for wanting to kill other humans. I also don't forgive you for being glad two people died.
Never mind, they are probably half way through their 72 grapes by now :)
