Re: DODEA schools ban 'e-cigs,' with punishment up to expulsion

No one wants kids to use cigarettes or E-cigs (although they will if they want to). I thought the whole reason for designated smoking areas was second hand smoke. E-cigs give off only water vapor, no smoke. So, what is the real issue with E-cigs?

What is scary is there are other people who believe, and hope for (make that pray for), this. What is worse is the majority lukewarm "social" Christians will (be bullied into) support them.

If you have a problem with your religious fundamentalists, perhaps the real problem is the fundamentals of your religion.

Am I the only one that can't seem to locate my "outrage" button on this? We have a Canadian citizen as a senator. Bread and circuses.

Federal workers pay all the same taxes, including state, local, FICA, social security, etc. that everyone else pays. So you thought wrong.

Re: Osan Airman Arrested After Leaving Base with Loaded Gun

Seems the command at Osan should be more concerned with policing themselves rather than the Korean populace...

Yep it is a slippery slope when these guys let their "moral compass" and puritan ideas overwhelm the rule of law. (remind you of anyone?) What is it about USFK and not being able to treat people right and follow rules and regulations, correctly?

I'm not a huge fan of these club owners and they certainly are not angels however this whole idea of preemptive persecution is a bit scary. No telling who he might go after taking into consideration things which *MIGHT* happen. I certainly hope this is not true. Taken to it's logical conclusion, the base commander *MIGHT* become a raging pedophile and should therefore detain himself.

Not only that, USFK had to send someone else down to negotiate with the merchant association because they wouldn't even talk to Taliento. Why?

Many of the bars declared off limits for "underage drinking" were done so via bogus CID stings where a person of legal age would order the beverage and then a "minor" agent would appear and take delivery. Not exactly kosher. Sort of a bait and switch.

The whole thing was idiocy and manufactured entrapment. .

Leon's time here was far from USFK proudest moment. Some more oldies on our trip down memory lane.

Looks good, GI. Although the color scheme at first made me think of the DPRK... But of course, Korea uses the same colors ;)
