CH,

How lonely would a guy have to be to hang out with people he claims to hate, talk about a couple of countries he hates, and then complain they don’t like the same stuff he likes?

In other news, teachers are not immune from prosecution…

I’ve been cheering for the Broncos since I was 6 or 7! Orange Crush for Life!

Remember the “Super Bowl Babies” commercials? Those Dallas Cowboys Babies are now legal! 😈

I have no idea what you are babbling about, BONEHEAD, and I’m pretty sure you don’t either.

Three uniforms: Orange with Blue, and White numbers, Blue with Orange, and White Numbers, and White, with blue numbers and orange outlines.

Setnaffa is right, I think. A man so lonely and empty his only contact with other people is being an annoying twit on a South Korean pro-Military website. Why don’t you go be a pest at Dave’s ESL Cafe? Or did they block you there?

“The Broncos made 11 first downs and gained 194 yards of offense in their 24-10 victory, the lowest yardage total for a Super Bowl winner. ”

“Denver had converted 34.4 percent of its third-down chances from Week 1 through the AFC Championship Game, 27th in the NFL.”

I would submit that the Broncos offense has not been very good at all this season. The outstanding defense has carried the team. During the game, the defense had as many touchdowns as the offense.

It’s almost like there is a team that won the super bowl with basically no offense. Anyone else get that feeling?

Substitute White for Black and Scream Racism!

“Beyoncé new single “Formation,” released on Saturday night, is being hailed by her fans as a white power anthem and public declaration that she supports the White Lives Matter movement”

That’s racist!

“Broncos overcome historically bad Super Bowl offense to beat Panthers”

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25477097/broncos-overcome-historically-bad-super-bowl-offense-to-beat-panthers

“SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Denver Broncos’ most successful offensive drive on Sunday in a Super Bowl 50 win against the Carolina Panthers was three plays for 4 yards and a touchdown.

In fact, Denver’s offense was historically anemic. Here’s a brief sampling.

This should highlight a couple of things. First, how ridiculous narratives are. The prevailing one from this Super Bowl will be about Peyton Manning. You know, the guy who was 13 for 23 for 141 yards and an interception. You could have quarterbacked Denver to this win. I could have quarterbacked Denver to this win.

This underscores the second point. That Denver’s defense is absurd. Historically and unbelievably absurd. They scored one touchdown on a Von Miller strip sack and nearly scored another (on another Miller strip sack). This led to that big three-play, 4-yard score for the offense.

So let’s let the big picture be about Manning and his career. But let’s let this night be about Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware and how good they were throughout the playoffs, but especially on Sunday night against the Panthers.”

It’s like, even though they did better than an offense that underperformed, the Broncos offense was basically absent during the Superbowl. This statement works because basically is used in a comparative or summary manner.

Compared to most winning Superbowl teams, the Broncos offense is meager. Some might even say that they won the Superbowl with basically no offense.

I wonder if this point of view holds up in other situations.

What if two random people were to compare bank account balances for a contest? The person with the most money is declared the winner. The first person has 10 dollars. The second person has 24 dollars.

Obviously the second person’s balance is higher than the first person’s, but it’s as if the second person won the contest with basically no money whatsoever.

Why not? They have done it with the Romneybot, the Kerry Haunted Tree, the Lizard King Cruz, and that empty space where Obama is said to be.

None-the-less, your comment wins the internets for today.

BONEHEAD, nobody cares about which teams you support or oppose, your thoughts on team uniforms, or anything else you spout on this site. We just flick the mouse wheel and skim past. Maybe a few pause long enough to see how ChickenHead slams on your muddled thinking, but even that has gotten stale. You are the reetard kid in the playground, charging at people, arms flailing, snot and tears running down your face as you get thumped again.

If you ever had anything to say, you’re long since passed your chance to say it. You post whatever Leftist craap you find on the Daily Kos, refuse to engage in conversation on the few occasions it is offered to you, and are just a general annoyance. Go away.

I don’t discuss what sports teams I support because it’s not relevant to this site. I also don’t talk about riding mountain or road bikes, or tabletop gaming, creative writing, nerd culture, or any of a dozen other subjects that interest me here, because most of it doesn’t interest the folks who frequent a pro-Military/pro-ROK website. I talk about the latest threats the North presents, ideas on how to integrate the North and South after the inevitable collapse of the North, and some Korean Pop Culture.

You talk about nothing. You just rage because you have nothing else in your life. You failed as a teacher, and even though I have asked several times, you don’t tell us what you’re doing these days and how your life has improved since you left your employer provided apartment. Because, most likely, you are the same failure wherever you went, but now you can’t blame it on your hogwan owner.

I like some of Cruz’s positions and agree with the advert’s analysis of Trump. I stopped voting in Republican primaries because of the futility. The GOP chose Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney to replace Reagan. And a lot of Senators campaigned one way and voted to allow Obama to double the National Debt.

None of the folks running would do what I want done (like spinning off 75-90 percent of non-DOD government institutions to the private sector); but Ted talks a good game and the Hairpiece needs a touch of humility.

I really am more a fan of Sarah Hoyt’s motto on her blog. “Taking over the world and leavibg it ruthlessly alone” (or something like that).

We have seen the effects of trying to foist Western Government on semi-literate Muslims. They hate it and us. And revert to totalitarian barbarism the instant our attention wanders. Why did we not learn the lessons of the two Failed British and one failed Russian attempts to control Afghanistan?

I am all for offering open friendship and trade to anyone wanting to be our friends. And short, glow-in-the-dark war to those who harm us.

And the lesson taught in Basic Training (one guy screws up and the whole platoon suffers) should apply. A person from City A attacks Americans and City A ceases to exist.

You only have to do that a couple times and folks catch on. Like Lemay said, you kill enough of them and they stop fighting.

Those ideas are, perhaps, not compatible with spreading the Gospel, so it is a blessing from a Merciful God that I will never be in a position to do any of that. It is not good to want Justice for everyone rlse while crying out for Mercy for oneself.

So maybe I should just stick with clearing out the garage and fixing PCs. 😉

http://www.businessinsider.com/r-north-korea-executes-army-chief-of-staff-south-korean-media-2016-2

SEOUL — North Korea has executed its army chief of staff, Ri Yong Gil, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday, which, if true, would be the latest in a series of executions, purges, and disappearances under the country’s young leader.

The news comes amid heightened tension surrounding the isolated North Korea after its Sunday launch of a long-range rocket, which came about a month after it drew international condemnation for conducting its fourth nuclear test.

As always, more a the link.

The herd is getting mighty thin, and Fatty Kim is getting mighty… er, fat? Is he eating them once he kills them?

Who is actually running the day to day? I’m wondering who Kim’s Bro Squad consists of, and how long the Old Guard is going to allow Fatty to keep on knocking off their comrades in arms. One day Kim Jong Un is going to take a tour of a military facility, and some young, inexperienced private is going to have a weapons malfunction. Or at least that’s what will be written in the papers afterwards…

CH appears to have me confused with who I want to be… 😀

BTW, “widows and orphans” did not need government assistance before the Democrats went full Socialist. There were many religious and secular organizations that provided tombstones, “silver towns” and orphanages. And not the terrible kind of “workhouses” described in Oliver Twist (those were debtors’ prisons run by the British Government). But , in the name of compassion, the Democrats destroyed the ability of the working poor to take care of themselves: LBJ’s “Great Society” killed off all these privately run homes for non-aristocrats and gave us the Government Healthcare we all know and hate. And the illegal immigrant prolblem at the same time.

The Woodmen Circle Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddq_E9jc4xA

My only connection to this is having friends in Sherman and seeing the ruins while driving. Compare and contrast these folks with what you see of the poor “helped” by the Government…

No “timeless truths” to offer here. We Americans made the mess we’re in. And I think only God can save us from ourselves. 2 Chronicles 7:14 might not really apply to us; but it might not hurt to try.

Identifiable coding and techniques signatures indicate that the Sony attackers (North Korea?) are still busy hacking.

The researchers shied away from directly attributing them to North Korea, but in their presentation they called the attackers they were tracking “The Interviewers,” a clear reference to the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy The Interview, which the US government says was the motive for North Korea to hack Sony.

In all of the campaigns Guerrero-Saade and Blasco tracked for this research, they say the adversaries appear to have focused exclusively on targets in South Korea, and they’ve made the mistake several times of leaving Korean language in their files when they compiled their code. In a campaign exposed last September, the attackers explicitly targeted vulnerabilities in Hangul, a word processing program made by a South Korean company and used extensively by the South Korean government. The so-called Hangman exploit the attackers created to exploit the Hangul software was used in a spear-phishing campaign to target someone working in South Korea’s nuclear industry. The attacks targeting the Hangul software have been attributed to North Korean actors by FireEye, the computer security firm that investigated the Sony hack in 2014.
