      US military chiefs ordered to reveal if Pentagon used diseased insects as biological weapon

      Damn

      Yeah... and they waited nearly 45 years before deciding this is a good idea to check into?

      Statutes of limitations and all that.

      lol. I was thinking more along the lines of the top level brass involved in that project would be dead, dying, or their brains so fuzzy "they cannot recall."

      I wonder how well the records were kept back then.

        Well Rome kept pretty good records, one hopes that by 1950 they were able to 🙂

          Trump: I don't have a racist bone in my body

          US President Donald Trump has insisted he is not a racist after his Twitter attacks on four US congresswomen were widely condemned as racist.

          Mr Trump had suggested the four women - all US citizens - "can leave" the US.

            That's xenophobia, not racism.

              IMHO, those four are one in the same and I still believe the statement is correct. Yes, One person can be used as a basis for the group. Happens all the time in business, politics and world society.

              What makes them one in the same?

              Numerous intertwined Ideologies.

              I understand. Citizenship is a difficult concept to grasp... One person from a group not being born in America makes a statement true for 3 other people because they share the same ideologies. You should loosen up your red hat a bit. It seems to be cutting off circulation to your brain.

              Being an American is a difficult concept to grasp. Being a citizen is fairly easy.

              Alright, well I think that your ideologies align with these 3 Russians that I once met, so you should to go back to where you came from... Makes perfect sense :thumbs_up:

              And you think my ideologies are?

                Able to and actually doing so are two different things, lol.

                    Your point was not lost. If my ideologies lined up with Charles Mason's, can we as a group visit or should we go back where we came from? lol

                                So all 18 year old smokers need to stock up on 3 years worth in the next 120 days.

                                  Yup, that part concerns me. As much as I think smoking needs to be banned, I think that pulling the rug out from under legally addicted smokers is unfair and probably illegal and could end up undermining the law. Knowingly allowing people to get addicted, and then forcing withdrawal that they might not be able to handle, is probably a crime.

                                        This I would argue with you about, a person has a choice to start smoking, vaping using chew etc. And they aren't allowed to legally do this until 18 currently 21 in 120 days.

                                        This is no different than changing the drinking age from 18 to 21 however many years ago that happened.

                                          Need an account to read that as well. Says I'm in "private mode".

                                          Here is the original article (from AP):
