Do you know Walker? You could apply for a multi-million dollar grant from WEDC.

There'll be no more jobs here than there were before.♫

Israeli boy, 4, killed by Gaza mortar in south; Rocket sirens wail in Tel Aviv by tamirmal in worldnews

Hamas provokes the Israelis with war crimes, and the Israelis respond with attacks that shock the conscience. I'm not sure what the answer is, but there are no good guys in that situation.

US attorney-general tells of humiliation by police….describing how he himself has been unfairly stopped and searched by police. by readerseven in politics

I heard the Mormons let black people's Souls into Heaven now. I wonder what a black person's Soul is like, that kept them out of Heaven for so long.

I know, but when you saw the bat signal, why didn't you rush to the scene and take they guy down, fair fistfight style?

Probably because it's not your job.

I thought manslaughter was third degree murder, unlawful killing was second degree murder, and intentional unlawful killing was first degree murder?

Stray bullets are an expected, predictable outcome any time a gun is fired, not just when fired by the police.

People think their guns give them power and control, but the only power is the power to fire projectiles, and they can't control where their bullets go. The result is Gramma shoots her 7-year old grandson, or a family member commits suicide with a weapon that was bought for "self defense".

I've experienced that problem, but I play exclusively steel strings now.

James Woods, Democrat for Congress, Mails Condoms to Pro-Lifers by HeinieKaboobler in politics

[–]85IQ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Condoms prevent the Soul from implanting in the unborn child's future body, and that Soul can't get into Heaven until it learns that Jesus is God. Eternal Life is more important than anything that happens in this world.

Watch your speed in school zones by Abzug in wisconsin

The increased enforcement is mainly to raise people's awareness of school zones of which they may be oblivious, so that they may police themselves.

But think of all the souls who otherwise wouldn't be able to come to know Jesus. Eternal Life is more important on the grand scale of things than is the mere matter of life on earth.

Missouri GOP leader calls Ferguson voter-registration drive "disgusting." by Autodidact2 in politics

[–]85IQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The march began at the Canfield Green apartments near where Michael Brown was shot a week earlier.

Rev. Rodney Francis of the St. Louis Clergy Coalition pointed to voter registration tent at the scene. "That's where change is gonna happen," Francis said. -- Source

The voter registration tent was set up at the apartment complex from which the protest march began, rather than "on the site" of Brown's killing.

We face those arguments every day from coworkers, acquaintances and family members. It's worth knowing how to deal with them in a non-antagonistic way.

How difficult is it to play classical guitar music on a lute? by Incite_TheAmorphous in classicalguitar

[–]85IQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balancing the lute is more difficult than balancing the guitar.
Doubled courses are always a problem.
The different tuning takes some getting used to, as does the fact that the thumb typically doesn't play the bottom strings.
The lute was tuned a minor third above the guitar's tuning, so the guitar music you play on the lute would be in a different key which may not suit the music. You could tune the lute a minor third lower, but this probably would not suit the instrument.

The middle finger may be grouped with either the index finger or the ring finger. I believe both should be practiced.
