@ Arkos.  In Africa there are countries with an average age of 18.5 years.  Man that is some SAD stuff!

I often wondered, in my past, if Johnson and Johnson, were related to Howard Johnson.   :-)

You know, at least THAT conspiracy, we can go a LONG way with!!! I would hope they (Johnson and Johnson) had the cure before they infected the globe. Or else they could simply die themselves BEFORE they got their cash! You should be a theorist!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

I am a pretty good swimmer. Should get there in 2 to 3 Months! Keep the oven warm.
I just want to get one. After all these years,..........just one.
OK maybe two.

I have seen most of those, however, I have NOT heard of Stargate Universe!! Gonna run my ass home and look for episodes later!!!!!
We also got into another SHORT series, called "Firefly" which bombed. We still like it but the masses did not. Worth a peek if you like the Sci-Fi
I never got into the Babylon Five or Stargate Atlantis. Tried but I guess not my taste.
Seriously, when home from work tonight going to look for that Stargate Universe. The lovely Mrs will be anxious too. Yup I got one that likes Sci Fi!
GO figure! (with an in game name of Pleiades........)

I come here to laugh and VERY rare I am disappointed.
Thanks to ALL for the humor!

Oh man o man......TRUE DAT Vert.........
LOLololoLOLOLOlol

Pardon the term Sunshine but that is some bad shit............
I was born in Trenton NJ. Seen plenty of social issues in urban close proximity life. NONE of our neighbors or our families, would allow that shit to happen where we lived. No matter how crappy our lives were!! And people all knew you could not push limits THAT far in the neighborhood! If you tried, you would learn. And learn it well!!
California going to garbage. That is just sick.

A piece of potential GOOD NEWS.

Go you Brits! Woo-Hoo!
Stage two: Proven immunity allows research into the protein or enzyme that may help with a vaccine, if my chemistry memory has any shelf life remaining. WHICH I am certain is questionable AT BEST!
Point is, the world is working on this, in some places, collectively. As in Military, strength in research numbers, is advantageous.

You have to correct that America has not helped Iran in the past hundred years except deceit and lies. You Americans link everything to the nuclear issue. It is good that you were afraid of Iranian power. The United States is the first to respond to the massacres in Iraq,Afghanistan  especially in Vietnam and Japan. The tragedy that has affected Japan and Vietnam for years is evident. The people of the world are in crisis and need help,Sanctions are not fair in the current situation.

ALL Governments lie. Look inside yours. Deceit and lies are WELL known in yours as well. We simply need to recognize and admit the truth.
I am quite certain, we do NOT link everything, to the nuclear issue. Yes its rather big, when constant sabre rattling and constant chants of "Death To America" and other countries are publicly shown. (I am pretty sure Americans are not dancing in the streets, burning Iraninan flags while yelling Death to Iran.) I have not seen a single incident in my life of such behavior here.
Nuclear power, in those hands, concerns all humans. I am not sure I understand: "It is good that you were afraid of Iranian power" as benefiting Iran and its people. Perhaps you might consider.........just for a moment,......the impact your Government can have, to BENEFIT its Citizenry, if they put ALL THAT effort, or even a PART of it, into medicinal needs. Future. Study. Ability to care for its own people with those resources. Again, you citizens there have the power to speak to your Government, however the fault of your situation is immediately blamed on someone else, NOT responsible. The USA. The sanctions are not placed on the citizens of Iran. They are a result of the Government actions. And they were in place long before the virus, with no knowledge this was coming of course.
Again, the USA first to respond to crisis as you wrote, does not acknowledge the USA DOES help Nations, all over the globe with help from catastrophe and horrors. Can you tell me a single Country Iran has been there for in a huge emergency? Globally?

This is a TINY slice of aid. You can find much more if you take a look. How about Iran?
I still feel positive the USA will help in any way, in humanitarian needs, that we can through this and I expect even help Iran for the SAKE OF THE PEOPLE, not the Government. I could be wrong too but our hearts see a different light in the sky than governments might. And we here, in the USA, have FULL ABILITY to bitch at our Government when they do what we perceive as wrong. And if we do wrong to others, as you must see in news, the citizens speak. LOUDLY sometimes. Perhaps the citizens of Iran might speak against the issues that have caused the Nation to be more isolated from world involvement.
The sanctions being fair or not, are entirely irrelevant in the middle of a world wide crisis. I know it is personal to you, because it is affecting life there. The sanctions were not imposed, from the virus. The biggest emergency, world wide, does not allow time to suddenly re-visit the sanction process, when ALL governments are fighting for the lives of its Citizens as top priority. You understand the efforts politically right now, are focused on life. Science. Research. Testing. Bolstering manufacturing for the change of economics. Not on relationships between Nations.
What possible reason can there be, to NOT steer your Government to do what is truly, best for the people? Therein lies the true answer to the situation each individual Country is experiencing. People deserve freedom. Its inherent in all humans. Steer them to put the Iranian resources where it will do the best help, for the people. They can return to all the nuke desires they have, after the people are helped as best as possible. Imagine the most advanced medical facility in the world, in Tehran. Imagine the discoveries in medicine, if the efforts were there for that exact reason. Imagine manufacturing to grow from the resources needed to run the development of the medical field, growing within the Country. Why would you NOT want this for your own "people"? Especially now. With this pandemic.
Before this is over, I believe the USA will help EVERY COUNTRY that asks for assistance, that we possibly can, if we have the needed supplies or formula(s) for medicine. And I hope I am right. If I am wrong, I have the ability to stand up and scream at my Government: "You work for me. DO the right thing!!"

Does not mean it will happen of course, however we as Nation will keep steering our Government as we feel is right. And as a citizen here, I am so appreciative, I have that RIGHT to stand and scream as loud as I wish for that change in Government. Or,.......in a perfect election....... vote them out of power.
Stand strong Kin. Again, we are ALL humans. Allied Nations are a source of help too. In such times, use the resources available to its fullest extent. And return the favor to friends and Allies too. If a Nation finds itself short on Allies, its time to ask WHY???.
Wash hands frequently. Keep minimal distances between people. Wash clothing and items that may come in contact with others. Keep hydrated well. Keep the elderly AWAY form people. All this can help. NOT in stopping the virus but in speed of infection overall.

Gotta argue this one. I plan to FIGHT this one too. Yup I might lose but if i do, its fighting! Hell I would probably even smile in the fight. Even for ONE GOOD shot!
Its a great quote. I have a strange attitude in life.
Grrrrrrrrrr.....

@Flettnerman THANKS for the vids so we can see the fun and tactics!
High 5!

I am pretty sure, the majority of US citizens, have NO DESIRE to invade ANYONE!!
And finding the "WHY" in any military action, might be questionable. Most military decisions and actions (as most of you know) are made from intelligence gathering. Private citizens are not privy to the intelligence. So the true definition of "why" could well be baked in multiple layers.
Venezuela has the largest oil, gold and mineral deposits on the Earth. I hope the government there, figures out how to turn what SHOULD be the richest country on Earth, into something proud, over where it is now and where it is heading. Those people should not be suffering with the amount of liquidity available.
Russia? No way. War to end all wars. Pass. (Russia has gorgeous ladies too. Maybe invade just for the women?) :-)
China? No way. I see no tangible threat aside from continued theft.
Indonesia? Nah. No threat again.
Brazil? Perhaps a budding Democracy? However again, hopes for government ease on the people.
Canada? NOT a CHANCE IN HELL! They have gorgeous women there. Too strong an Ally. Maybe a YES then,.....to get their women! Spoils of war?
Turkey and North Korea? I dont expect Americans want to invade ANYONE. However I believe anyone invading the USA, will have a STRONG fight from the citizens, let alone the armies. Most honest folks will be right there, where neaded if an invasion took place.

The "truths" of this topic are dark. I dont like attempting to be the world police. However if an allied Country needs help and requests help, I believe we should assist if asked.
I like the turtle and scorpion myself. Good analogy!

I watched part of the film. I will have to be in a different frame of mind to continue this film. So far, it is incredible........however it is also disturbing. VERY real and acting is magnificent! I want to say "THANKS" joint but at the moment, I am digesting what I watched. I know the thanks is coming but the mind right now is mushy..........images of the film.
Wow.

CHANGES that high 5 to an elbow bump...............
