Re: SHOCK VIDEO: Urgent-Care Doctor Appears to Refuse Child's Treatment Due to Vax Status - Headline USA

MediaMentions — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 13:13:35 -0000

I truly believe that any "healthcare" worker who refuses treatment based on someone's jab status, or administers any medication (jab included) without informed consent, needs to be tried in accordance with the law and international codes. These people have no place providing healthcare. P.S. doesn't look like anybody wants to pick up the clinic phone this morning. wonder why

Re: Raul Castro Demands Obama Executive Action on Embargo in Victory Lap Speech

MediaMentions — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 21:52:51 -0000

I may be a cynic, but from all I've read so far, it seems very clear that Castro simply wants the sanctions gone for nothing in return. Sure it's kind of a step in the right direction, but I won't applaud it until the guy at least takes an Econ101 class. PS to compliment your report, here's one I read earlier that does a pretty good job catching most variables in one place: http://www.pressreader.com/...

Re: <i>The Battle Of The Five Armies</i> brings the <i>Hobbit</i> trilogy to a plodding finish

MediaMentions — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 21:38:46 -0000

It took me a solid hour of reading reviews to finally understand that most are missing the mark in that they don't factor in the target audience. If it's a 12 year old boy: this movie is everything and more. If it's the same generation that grew up with and loved the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, then the rotten tomatoes make a little more sense. I'll leave it up to you to make up your mind. PS one of my favourite reviews is this one by the Van Sun today: http://www.pressreader.com/...

Had I known a timeless classic would be subject to fluff and fart jokes (http://www.pressreader.com/..., I would have opted to stay well away from this latest one.

There are a lot of reviews out this week, and while hilarious to read (like this one here: http://www.pressreader.com/boo..., let's remember that you experience with the latest installation of the Hobbit will largely depend on whether A: you've read the books and B: whether you're 12 and still enjoy a good butt joke.

Re: Elon Musk Hyperloop Dream May Soon Become Reality (Thanks to Crowdsourcing)

MediaMentions — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 02:24:26 -0000

Normally I wouldn't give such a long shot much credence, but Elon Musk has a phenomenal track record of dreaming stupidly big and getting there. I don't think Hyperloop will be an exception, and I'm not the only one: http://www.pressreader.com/...

Nerdgasm. Words cannot express the respect I have for Elon Musk. Take the mind, the drive, the resources, Hyperloop essentially proves that he's Iron Man. More cool stuff re hyperloop over yonder: http://www.pressreader.com/.... Also let's agree, for the record, that Hyperloop looks like way too much fun to not invest in.

Re: Movie? What Movie? North Koreans Unaware of Sony's Humiliation

MediaMentions — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 01:59:07 -0000

sure the thought of millions of copies of the movie being dropped over the nation is hilarious in and of itself, but let's consider the scarcity of dvd players and the fact that if you're gonna do a benevolent stunt to stick it to the dictator, why not drop Happy Meals instead? http://www.pressreader.com/...

Come on guys. North Korea is the petty child

out Sony on its ...uhm... lack of character, to use the diplomatic turn of
phrase. Le source:

the more I'm reading about the shooting, the more I hear claims of pressure on gov/society to "act" (http://www.pressreader.com/... but have we learned nothing from history? Nothing will change. Gun laws don't change, and neither will more subtle nuances as are those correlated with cases of unrestrained mentally ill.
