There is so much miss information and bullshit going on around this story it is amazing. Firstly the idiot is a poacher not a hunter. Secondly as someone who grew up around pro hunters in Zimbabwe (brother in law managed a game ranch). It is far more complicated than people believe. The 'trophies' used to be carefully managed in Zimbabwe and the shooting of older animals paid for substantial conservation work, ultimately creating a sustainable wild life ecosystem. Obviously Zimbabwe is fucked now and I doubt that the wildlife permit system does anything more than line Bob's pockets. Ironic that people are up in arms about a 13 year old lion, in a country that is so fucked that average person doesn't live much longer than 40 years. No,yes,Yes and Yes. I don't know if the Dentist is a poacher or not. Every year Montana has hunts for elk outside of Yellowstone national park, to kill elk. Every year they capture wild bison in the park and take them to slaughterhouses.Imagine the outrage if a bison bull had a cute name and his picture in the public's eye. http://www.nps.gov/yell/learn/nature/bisonmgntfaq.htm Baiting game outside national parks in Africa, Canada, USA, etc. has gone on since parks and game preserves were founded. "A New York hunter paid $300,000 for this year's Montana special auction license for bighorn sheep at the Wild Sheep Foundation convention in Reno, Nev., in January. The price, while not a record, ensures that the bighorn sheep tag continues to be the high interest big money tag of all the special auction tags Montana offers. James Hens of East Berne, N.Y., bought the tag. He will be able to hunt a sheep in any Montana bighorn sheep hunting district this fall. Last year, James Liautaud of Champagne, Ill., owner of the Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shop chain, paid $295,000 for the same tag. The year before, Liataud bought the tag for $275,000. The highest price ever paid for the bighorn tag was $310,000 in 1994. Montana offers several big game tags for auction by groups who make pitches to the FWP Commission to sell the tags. The groups get 10 percent of the money the tag brings in and the rest goes to FWP for research and habitat improvement for the species. So far this year, the bighorn tag is the only one to sell. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation will sell the elk and moose tags when it holds its annual rendezvous in Reno. The Mule Deer Foundation will auction the mule deer tag and the Great Falls Safari Club International will auction the mountain goat tag at its annual spring meeting. " http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/field-notes/2012/02/ny-hunter-pays-300000-montana-bighorn-sheep-license About 20 years ago I was in the home of a "trophy" hunter who was a doctor. He had a life size mount of a grizzly bear that he had shot on the last day of a very expensive hunt. Evidently he felt that he had to "get' something to show for his hunt. It was four feet high standing on its back legs. It was a cub less than nine months old.

Quite right(from 2011): "“I was among many economists in Germany warning against premature entry into the monetary union and against too many countries.” The commission this month estimated Greece’s 2011 budget shortfall will be 9.5 percent on debt of 158 percent of gross domestic product, more than twice the EU’s limit of 60 percent. Its debt burden will continue to swell to 166 percent in 2012 without policy changes, according to the commission. The currency blocs “rules were not observed,” Issing said at a speech yesterday. “There are flaws in the design.” The euro will survive, “but I would not bet on all 17 countries,” he said.

The real capabilities, like you suggest are really known to few. CAS has really moved into the area of drones which can remain on station for the hours and hours that would send the A-10 driver back to the base, even if he had dedicated tanker support. The real advantage of the F-35 is multispectral sensors and secure data sharing between stealthy aircraft. 100 Km+ range air-to-air and ground-to-air missiles. Put radar emitting aircraft in a risky position. Even though Israel gets big discounts on US hardware it has chosen to buy the F-35 when it could have bought other aircraft. Stealthy AC with GPS independent bombs like SPICE, SDB II, or JDAM-ER.Are the future. Combined with lock on after launch AIM-9 missiles allows a F-35 to "SEE" a F-16 below and behind it without radar emissions and attack from any aspect. To share target info with other F-35s. Take this with a grain of salt because its from the manufacturer: http://www.sldinfo.com/the-f-35-as-a-%E2%80%9Cflying-sensor-fusion-engine%E2%80%9D-positioning-the-fleet-for-%E2%80%9Ctron%E2%80%9D-warfare/ "The ministerial recommended the procurement of an additional 13 aircraft. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted the air force’s request for an additional F-35, the 14th, which would serve as a testbed for Israeli technologies. Israel is still planning to adjust Rafael’s Python 5 air-to-air missile and Spice air-to-ground munition to fit into the F-35 internal weapon bays. Israel also plans to install indigenous electronic warfare capabilities on the JSF. Air Force Base Nevatim in southern Israel is already making preparations to receive the first F-35s in late 2016. Dubbed “Adir” (Great) in the Israeli air force, the initial 19 F-35As will constitute the first squadron procured under a $2.75 billion contract. An additional $7 million is being allocated to procure the first F-35’s simulator, which will arrive in Israel ahead of the fighters.

"Muslims hate America because of who America is and what America represents. Muslims hate the core of American culture and they fear that America’s influence in politics, entertainment, and wealth will erase their culture. To a devout Muslim America is vile, blasphemous, and as far from “pure” as pure can be. Muslims see American women degrading themselves on the silver screen and being unfit as wives and mothers. Muslims see American men as slovenly, easily corruptible, lacking of virtue, and wallowing in one vice or anther. Are they wrong? Devout Muslims on a very fundamental level must hate Democracy and Capitalism. The concepts and practice of Democracy and Capitalism by their nature blaspheme against Allah. In Islam Allah is the center of all things. Allah is the giver of all that is good. Allah is the wellspring of all success and prosperity. If one is not diligent in his studies of the Koran or does not live as proscribed by Mohammed, Allah can remove his blessings until atonement is achieved. Democracy, in its simplest form, is the ability for a body of people to have a say in their future which, to them, directs the success of the group. This delegation of authority to a sub group of people, as well as the authority placed in each person to vote, is what Muslims find blasphemous. To vote and to hope on something other than Allah is blasphemy and is considered sinful. To blaspheme Allah is to be marked for death as was the case for Salmon Rushdie. Capitalism, in its simplest form, is the ability for men to steer their own destiny with hard work and ambitious creativity. Muslims must perceive this as blasphemy as well since it removes the authority of one's prosperity from Allah and places ones hope on his own ability.

Water... its a non issue. "The San Diego County Water Authority has agreed to buy at least 48,000 acre-feet of water from the plant each year for about $2,000 an acre-foot. An acre-foot equals about 326,000 gallons, roughly enough for two families of four for a year." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/01/business/energy-environment/a-costly-california-desalination-plant-bets-on-future-affordability.html So $1000 a year for a family of 4. Thats 68 cents a day per person for clean potable water. It cost to treat fresh water from a river anyway. Thats like the calculations that it takes "The thing is, nuts use a whole lot of water: it takes about a gallon of water to grow one almond," http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/01/almonds-nuts-crazy-stats-charts The water goes back into the groundwater that the tree doesn't use and the tree removes CO2 and produces o2. The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Those coaches are good.

You must have suffered a TBI at some point and either gone untreated or failed to develop a cognitive response to accommodate your disability.You have forgotten your training. Clearly beer is an important part of post jumping recovery. It has the necessary carbs, protein and muscle relaxants for proper post jump recovery.

I'd appreciate a pm when you post your next video. Thanks for that.

I dispute that secretaries or phone operators conspired to provide bogus ratings. That was done by executives. Corruption, coverup and money. The full equal to sex in making the world go up and down, up and down, up and down.

There is a multi national meeting in Brussles today meeting discussing how to stop ISIS from moving their money around. ... Donations from wealthy supporters, mainly Saudie Arabia and Qatar. Blackmail and theft from people in their controlled areas. IS is supposedly the best funded terror organization ever. ... Just look at history, lots of North Americans were very happy to do business with and make money of the Nazis. "WASHINGTON — In highly unusual testimony inside the federal supermax prison, a former operative for Al Qaeda has described prominent members of Saudi Arabia’s royal family as major donors to the terrorist network in the late 1990s and claimed that he discussed a plan to shoot down Air Force One with a Stinger missile with a staff member at the Saudi Embassy in Washington." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/04/us/zacarias-moussaoui-calls-saudi-princes-patrons-of-al-qaeda.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

Dude its facts its not anti any thing its just pro truth. This whole idea of good guys and bad guys is asinine to me. I live in the US i love bacon, boobies and am anti traditional to every culture i have been a part of. That doesn't give me the right to force my view on others, or to vilify them. I know people who look at our way (the American way of life) as horrific, instinct based,materialistic and lacking any spirituality. that's their right to think that and not want to become us. To each there own. Also when we confuse understandable grievances and make it about idealism were fucked. That is what happens on both sides. They are both wrong. I don't have to pretend that all our troops are super heroes, everything we do as holy to love the US, i am sorry that some have a ferry tail standard i don't. We kill people we do it for our comfort, we do it so gas is cheap food is cheap and we all enjoy a good standard of life. All you have to do is see what percentage of the world is the US population, and then pic any major resource and see what percentage we use. Its not opinion its math. I think all of the desperate and horrific action, at least a vast majority of it is motivated by desperation and a shitty life by the individuals living in that area. It is so much easier to hate when your hungry then when your full. All I can say is wow Yeah bacon,boobies and skydiving.Three things the US has that the daesh caliphate will never have. Gotta love these forums.

If the pilot rumor mill is correct, the aircraft was still listed as being owned by Cirrus of Duluth, MN and was being delivered to a new customer. The other rumor was that a pump failed so the pilot couldn't transfer gas from the ferry tank to the main tank. I've only done one ferry flight in my lifetime (one too many) but all of the setups I have seen include a manual hand pump to use as a backup. If so these systems are usually quite reliable and the same version is installed in multiple a/c types for ferry flights. 11 miles short. Too bad for a/c at least pilot OK so the net is more jobs at Cirrus and a loss for the insurer.

You're wrong. You are a humanist and you care for others. Most people would want to associate with you. But the average person has problems defining the politics of this situation and region. Daesh, the current self defined name of the Islamic State directs these videos to define who they are. They clearly state their policy in public documents as well. "One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar — the infidels — and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law.” Indeed so: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13) “Shocking: ISIS Official ‘Slave’ Price List Shows Yazidi, Christian Girls Aged ‘1 to 9′ Being Sold for $172,” by Johnlee Varghese, International Business Times, November 5, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):" http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/11/islamic-state-slave-price-list-shows-yazidi-christian-girls-aged-1-9-being-sold-for-172 On the other hand there is the Government of Syria, led by Assad. "Protests in Syria started on 26 January 2011. Protesters called for political reforms and the re-instatement of civil rights, as well as an end to the state of emergency which had been in place since 1963"... By the end of January 2012, it was reported that over 5,000 civilians and protesters (including armed militants) had been killed by the Syrian army, militia (Shabiha) and security agents, while 1,100 people had been killed by the anti-government forces" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashar_al-Assad A government supported by Russia, Iran, Jordan(Default Hezbollah puppet government). All these governments, members on U.N., UN security council and financiers of the war that led to Daesh.

To be fair, while that does suck it's not an Obama thing, it's an every politician thing. In fact, so far the only political figure I've seen who stood up and said 'hang on a minute, this guy was a fucking cunt' is an ex-MP who doesn't have to toe the party line any more. Everyone else is still in thrall. Apparently if they let us keep our military bases there it doesn't matter that they're worse than most of the people in the region that we're using those bases to attack. 'refers to politics or diplomacy based primarily on power and on practical and material factors and considerations, rather than ideological notions or moralistic or ethical premises." ... ... called Realpolitik

"By the fullest accounting, which is different from usual budget figures, the United States will spend more than $1 trillion on national security this year. That includes about $580 billion for the Pentagon’s baseline budget plus “overseas contingency” funds, $20 billion in the Department of Energy budget for nuclear weapons, nearly $200 billion for military pensions and Department of Veterans Affairs costs, and other expenses. But it doesn’t count more than $80 billion a year of interest on the military-related share of the national debt. After adjustments for inflation, the United States will spend about 50 percent more on the military this year than its average through the Cold War and Vietnam War. It will spend about as much as the next 10 nations combined—three to five times as much as China, depending on how you count, and seven to nine times as much as Russia. The world as a whole spends about 2 percent of its total income on its militaries; the United States, about 4 percent."... “My concern is this growing disconnect between the American people and our military,” retired Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under George W. Bush and Barack Obama (and whose mid-career academic stint was at Harvard Business School), told me recently. The military is “professional and capable,” he said, “but I would sacrifice some of that excellence and readiness to make sure that we stay close to the American people. Fewer and fewer people know anyone in the military. It’s become just too easy to go to war.” http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/12/the-tragedy-of-the-american-military/383516/

Quoting the same source again and again doesn't add credibility.It reduces it.

Don't the "winners" always get to "right" history? IMO Kyle took certain liberties with some facts. If i disassociated with everyone who didn't do that on occasion I'd be alone. I don't think he was a "hero", more that he was just very good and dedicated to his job.Does ego go with JSOC or special forces? Sure it does just like it does with some skygods. On balance setting aside God, hurrah AMERICA, he was a dedicated soldier and he died trying to help others. There are probably F-15 pilots that killed more enemy combatants. His story, on balance, worth telling. Read the book, waiting for an online view of the movie.
