    Huh? This is a current news story. Are you talking about the paper bag test?

    This is true and second rate navies don't get that respect.

    How uniformed can one be?

    Any country in the world and I include the United States Navy would jump at the chance to have just one of the UK Royal Navy's Astute Class nuclear submarines. They are so far advanced to any other submarine in the world that there is not anything close in any navy. Not bad for a "second rate navy"!

    You don't get many of those to the pound do you? Fortunately, you don't need very many either.

    That's exactly what I'm talking about and O'Brien's show last night was focused on skin color and the Brown Bag test in determining privileges. When they advertised the show that was one of the main talking points O'Brien brought up.

    Even Iran, Korea and the evil Jooooo's have diesel boats but nary a "real" birdfarm afloat. 2nd rate, Jeebus H. even the French, Brazil and others have some baby ones.

    I have helped train the "evil Jooooo's" in the past and am one of the few non-Israeli trainers to have actually had the privilege (and go) to be invited to sail with them on a mission! So put that in your obviously prejudiced pipe and smoke it!

    One's aim in life should be to deserve and receive that salute regardless of your attire and there are many on both sides of the pond and in many other places in the world that it has been my privilege to have met and served with, that I would even salute naked! (Especially some women)
    Just from postings on here, it is an easy guess who was saluted and who was not

    It looked like you were focusing on the paper bag test with the CNN story as an aside. Really, a Wikipedia link to the paper bag test is not a way to start a thread on Nationals--you do stuff like that on Open Mike.

    The homework and Bible reading are part of the story about the boy who was killed.

    They say we spend 80% of our lives justifying why we do the things we do.

    And I did the Wikipedia definition because, stupid me, I didn't know if anyone knew what it meant.

    Why not imply a sinister motivation like this on Jeebus threads?

    If you found out they were black, I take it you would also stereotype blacks too. For shame.

    You've got some nerve, boy. When have I ever stereotyped blacks? I have nothing against Christians. In fact, I am not athiest. I was just wondering how these murderers could consider themselves Christians when they have the nerve to murder their own son.
