***You live in Detroit and you're disparaging other cities??

That's kind of the point - Canada's universal healthcare system was so terrible they had to bring their people to Detroit for help. . .

That's some funny stuff, right there. Thanks for the great chuckle with my morning coffee.

I was just on a photography forum where they were discussing organised photography trips to Detroit themed on "Urban Decay".

Some of my favorite photography is that which contrasts urban decay with contemporary development.

Would Jesus call a neighbouring community "shit" or "skank" as per your vernacular?

Why do you use religion to control people?

Have you never heard the the slogan WWJD?

It DOES work both ways.

You got something to say?

I do. But if I did it would be a PA and that's not allowed here. So just suffice it to say you have shown your true colours here and I will not be responding to you anymore.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You do understand that Detroit has been run by liberal Democrats for over 40 years?

Just a little food for thought:

Although my personal opinion is that the wait them out, make fun of them and arrest them one at a time when they get bored policy seems to work well with these people.

Good article

"Irregular militias, paramilitaries, are worse than useless when it comes to defense of a nation. Literally worse than useless. They are untrained, undisciplined, undependable, and too often belligerently unaware of their own pitiful state. They take up resources and risk the security of real soldiers. Irregular militias are often indistinguishable from an armed mob. Like those currently occupying Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, militias are almost always composed of misfits and rejects, wannabe soldiers and pretend Marines puffed up with stolen valor, disaffected braggarts, belligerent drunkards, criminals, the dangerously mentally ill, conspiracy theorists, and angry losers of every stripe.

These raggedy-assed pretend patriots are not out there defending your freedom."

"Those militiamen occupying Malheur Wildlife Refuge are little different from the mobs of armed men currently roaming Somalia or Iraq or Syria. They are lawless thugs, nothing more. They want you to believe they are defending freedom, defending America, defending their twisted and simplistic interpretation of the Constitution.

They’ve turned the Second Amendment into a religion, a bizarre sexual fetish, into mental illness.

But those guns? The ones they’re so proud of? Those weapons are not turned to defense of the nation. They’re not aimed at some foreign invader. They’re aimed at you.

They’re aimed at the United States of America.

These militias exist solely for one reason: to shoot down Americans.
"

Nailed it.

From NBC:

"Kenneth Medenbach, of LaPine, was arrested Friday outside a Safeway grocery store in Burns where two U.S. Fish and Wildlife vehicles reported stolen were recovered. A second person fled before police arrived, the sheriff's office said.

Dwane Kirkland, of Montana, was arrested Thursday on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, the sheriff's office said."

I was trying to get the link to the Christopher Titus podcast from earlier this month, but he doesn't have it posted to his webpage yet. Title: Punk-Ass Patriots. He goes off on these knuckleheads in a similar way as you.

A letter from the employees of the Fish and Wildlife Service in Harney County:

Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
17 hrs ·
An open letter to our friends, our supporters, and many curious about what's going on here.

From: The Staff of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
To: Our Friends, Partners, and the American Public

Dear Friends,
Many have asked us to comment on the ongoing situation at Malheur NWR. We have refrained because we care deeply for the community, and want to ensure our words do not inflame an already heated situation. However, we believe it is important that our views and position are known.

We believe many in the media (as well as those sympathetic to the illegal occupiers) were surprised to hear that the community—while frustrated with the Hammond situation—did not leap to the support of the militants. We are not surprised.

For over 100 years, our Refuge employees have been members of this community. We study, watch our kids play basketball, worship, commune, and interact with our fellow Harney County citizens—not as a ‘we vs. they’—but as an ‘us.’

In a community with nearly 40% of working adults engaged in some form of government, we are all touched or involved in the public process. In Harney County, that means we talk. We have cups of coffee. We have arguments. Together we knit our brows, and together we knit scarves. We understand what those currently occupying the Refuge don’t understand---that Harney County isn’t afraid of tough talk.

We can have effective disagreements and either find resolution, find compromise, or simply agree to disagree. But we do it with respect for the rule of law, and know that our areas of agreement and cooperation are infinitely more powerful than the differences we may face. Mostly, we face those differences together with open dialogue and open gates—not intimidation and threats. We have access to each other, because we are not afraid to confront difficult situations or have difficult conversations.

It pains each of us that we are missing our obligations to you—as church leaders, as 4-H advisers, as friends, and as school volunteers. We hope to be back soon and pick up where we left off.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your support. We know (as you do too) that it is not our Refuge that has been occupied; this is Harney County’s and America’s Refuge.

We are excited to be part of the eventual healing process for our community. We believe that this difficult situation will lead to even stronger bonds between the Refuge and the community that has supported us. We feel for you, because we are you.

We will get through this—because:
We. Are. Harney. County.

Onward and Upward!

I think it was the Daily Show that suggested that the dildos were so that the militia guys could go fuck themselves.

And on a more serious note:

It seems like the militia has little or no regard for Native artifacts. You know, the people who were on the land to begin with.

Even IF the cause was just( and I don't really think it is) they are fumbling the ball so bad, it is like watching a kindergarten football match. (You figure out which football)

Hi turtle,

Actaully, I think it is what MJOSparky would say: 'They haven't seen the ball since kickoff.'

At this point in time, I don't think they really know what they are protesting.

IMO it's time to cutoff their food source.
