I never thought so.

• ICE and the Department of Homeland Security have denied or challenged portions of his account. The details of what legal basis (if any) they claim for detention are not fully public.  • Whether the event was strictly due to “no reason besides racism” is allegation, not fully adjudicated in public ...

This is sickening! A US citizen, a veteran to boot, on his way to work, having his car window smashed in and being pepper sprayed by ICE agents who then drag him off and detain him for three days, for no reason. Well, except racism, of course. He told them he was as citizen. He asked for a lawyer ...

So sorry to hear that. That must suck.

Here’s hoping the immunotherapy will work wonders!
Hang in there, Rats!

And I'll add a list of recommended Swedish books: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, and of course the rest of the Millennium series as well. Nordic Noir at its best. Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, the only Swedish horror novelist worth the money. To Cook A Bear by ...

I completely agree that paper books are superior to tablets. Never been able to do the switch. I do listen to audiobooks while doing other stuff though, like mowing the lawn, driving or whatever, but then only lighter literature, like a crime novel. When I really sit down to read, I want it to be a ...

I second that.

It's a nice Urban Legend but I don't think so 5th. This is more what I heard as a kid and over the years. According to Paul Stanley, the band's name was chosen because the word "kiss" was universal and could be recognized worldwide as well as incorporated into different meanings, such as "kiss of ...

Oh, come on! One of the few Canucks games that is played at a reasonable hour, and it’s scheduled to coincide with my flight to Brussels.
Game starts at 18.30 CET and my flight departs at 18.35.

I have meetings in Brussels like twice a year. What were the odds?

About 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer, I am still in my 40s. WTF. Thankfully I have been given a very good prognosis but I will start treatment next month and, like you, it is always in the back of my mind. My best wishes for a speedy recovery. It sounds like early detection so hopefully ...

Last September I was in a local hospital for some severe back pain, they took my blood work and a few hours later I was admitted to VGH. I had Leukemia Hang in there, Reef! Sounds like quite the ordeal, but I hope you've been through the worst and it will get better from here. As you wrote, modern ...

As some of you have noticed, long-time poster Strangelove hasn't been around for a few months. Some of us have known for a while that Doc has been dealing with some very serious health issues since at least April. He kept us updated, but he hasn't logged on since July 26, and we haven't had any ...

The people who arrested her and sent her to Bergen Belsen were following the law. Human rights are always more important than the law. And at the ...

This is what is happening in the US now; Gestapo at work, trampling constitutional rights, completely ignoring the 4th amendment. Stand your ground? Nah, if anyone had pulled a gun against the masked terrorists kicking down the door to their apartment in the dead of the night they would have been ...
