Well, looks like no asteroid, I even gave it 10 days instead of 7. I like how the motto is "Exposing the truth, you decide", the truth isn't democratic or subjective, it's either 1 or 0.

And the week after next they pretend like they never made the prediction, as all conspiracy theorists do.
I noticed too that people are still commenting not realising that a week has more than passed.
I will say to @thanksajdotcom's credit this site does have some interesting articles though, and I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on him, rather I'm picking on the many web sites out there which do alarmist things like this and then pretend like it didn't happen.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36882456What is this? Did somebody declare a purge or something?
Seems like every day somebody is going on a shooting spree somewhere else... Makes me sad to be a human.

:-S She alright?

Only people shot were between the ages of 12 and 27. So likely someone here's aunt was not affected. But she still has to live in Ft Myers so ahe has that to deal with.
-
@scottalanmiller Oh I know she wouldn't have been there. One, she's too old. Two, she's a JW, so she doesn't do clubs. And a good JW, so yeah... still...but my heart breaks for those families...

Yeah, the lengths they have to go through to prevent that are crazy, and I guarantee the ship is much worse off than the wall of the canal.

This is the new canal just one month old. Ships are three times the size that they were two months ago. They use tugs now instead of the mule trains.

Weren't we talking recently about workers not knowing their rights?

Yup, it's not going to change. No amount of telling people what their rights are ever gets people who are doing these kinds of jobs to listen.

When I was sixteen and a job denied us our rights, I called a "union" and we walked out, en masse. One guy fired us, I said okay, see you in court. I wasn't to my car in the parking lot before the owner was outside running after us screaming that we were not fired, were getting full pay and could go home and enjoy ourselves

It's unfortunate, this is a pretty open and shut case.
