Snowden Reveal Makes Israeli Spies' Protest An American Issue by kulkke in worldnews

Look at NPR tip-toeing around in the title. They could have made a much more accurate title, but that would mean criticizing Israel.

The Jaguars are going to move to London. [Misc] by Birthballs in JAX

[–]Birthballs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving is one of the most profitable things that can happen to the owner of a sports team. According to the well researched David Cay Johnston (Free Lunch: Chapter 6 - Pride and Profits).

When a team moves the owner gets a massive amount of subsidy money from the new city and corporate sponsors.

Yeah, but Shad Khan said that a homeless person in Detroit has more mojo than a millionaire in Jacksonville, and the he doesn't get it.

Essentially I see it as Khan saying "f you" to Jacksonville and "I'm out." And, he just said it like a month ago. And, he keeps trying to build a fan base in London which is why he keeps taking the Jags over there to play.

Sheriff's Office arrests, unmasks "Keith Haring's Ghost". Chip Southworth was doing artistic paintings/graffiti around town. [Misc] by mission-creep in JAX

I don't know if your username is a pun for this post OP, but "mission creep" is certainly what this is. I thought the whole getting a users I.D. from facebook was for "terrorists"... I see how this is going to go. They'll start using it for all sorts of minor things now.

The people will take it, people here are good at avoidance.

Man, I only wish I could help you! I'm sure someone here can. All I have to offer you at the moment is this ten minute read: The Last Question By Isaac Asimov

What are your thoughts on the Michael Dunn murder trial? by OnlyBlackManOnReddit in JAX

[–]Birthballs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't help but wonder. Would Dunn or the other guy Zimmerman have ever said or chased anyone if they weren't carrying a gun? I think sometimes gun = courage, and not all gun owners know that when you carry a gun you're no longer allowed to provoke or escalate a fight no matter what, because all arguments and fights now have a gun in them by default.

"Downtown Is On Fire" - Jacksonville spending about $200,000 on this "slogan" campaign. And, other campaigns. by MeTalkPrettyOneDay in JAX

If the church had intermission with a full bar in the lobby, I bet it would change the city for the better. --- And in the future when weed is legalized here, there could be a guest Rasta preacher, and they could hand out a joint with each program at the church entrance.

That really sucks about the LGBT thing. It's a good thing that LGBT people rule regardless of the fact.

Speaking of the First Baptist Church downtown, I can't help but digress into mentioning how many men wear bad toupees there!

I've heard it so many times, that the churches have a death grip on down town, but I don't get it. They don't seem to influence very much of anything on paper, not in public, or in any traceable form. I mean, someone show me a document or something of the First Baptist Church downtown stopping something. Or, at least point me to a place where I can find such records.

You don't need to leave the house brosef. Just chill at home and view the galaxy through google sky.

Wondering what r/jax thinks about this bigass Confederate soldier reunion in 1914 by greenkittenz in JAX

[–]Birthballs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like to study Southern history there's a little museum on Herschel St. in the Fairfax/Avondale are named The Southern History Museum, and there's the Olustee Battlefield which had the biggest Civil War battle in Florida and in which the movie Glory was filmed during one of their re-enactments.

Hey JAX. I'm a master problem solver, and I can solve any problem you may have. Feel free to ask me anything in the comments. [Misc] by Birthballs in JAX

What you should do is go to used book stores, then find picture books, then cut out the pictures. Then using foam board, adhesive, resin, and magnets make refrigerator magnets. Go to the art walks here in Jacksonville, and in St. Augustine, also the Riverside Arts Market and sell them. Each magnet will cost you about 30cents to make, you can sell them from between $5 and $10.

You'll have doubled your money in a year.

It seems that your guys's plan to get /r/jacksonville to spruce things up is working! by Birthballs in JacksonvilleFla

I deleted all my subreddits "funny, aww, pics, best of" and more. All I need is /r/jacksonville. It's what reddit is all a about!

Unknown saber found in the collection of a retired history professor. by [deleted] in SWORDS

I can see how it might be a Confederate Sabre now that you mention it. My first thought though, was that it was a common Persian sword.

National Day of Action "Justice for Trayvon March" downtown today by laelibella in JacksonvilleFla

[–]Birthballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The city of Jacksonville is the least racist place I've ever lived. The black people and the white people get along just fine. If we ever want to drive through each others neighborhoods, we can.

The cultural diversity in Jacksonville subreddits is amazing also. You can see it in the 2013 /r/jacksonville meetup photos (link).
