That's not fair because any contest that involves O'Brien automatically means that he has already lost.

For who people would like to see as an all powerful, intelligent and genius billionaire ... he sure has a thin skin

For anyone that didn't notice ... this is the power of journalists and why we should defend them, help them and support them.

Might have been true during the Roman era or even during the 1930s but in the age of mass communication, a generally informed or disinformed population (depending on how you want to see it), multi national corporations who really don't care about nations and all mixed in with nuclear weapons ... things will be much different. Whether or not that difference will be better or worse is anyone's guess. But it will be something completely different.

Just aim it in the general direction of your target and if you don't hit them at least you'll permanently damage their hearing

And we laugh at the ancient Romans for flavoring their wine with lead or using lead products and slowly poisoning themselves.

Popcorn machine from 1978 still going strong after being fixed and repaired by me three times now. I bought one new modern popcorn machine because it was on sale ... it burnt out in two months and the built in electronics were designed to never be fixed. The old 1978 unit is basically just a blower motor operated by switch, controlled by a simple thermostat attached to a heating coil .. every part is easily accessible and can be fixed ... all of it easily repairable, fixable and parts replaceable.

Knowing Turnip the medals will probably be cheap gold colored metal with an image of himself on it.

When this happens in a developing country we laugh at their politics.

When it happens in America, no one bats an eye

How many are watching the President Carter Funeral proceedings.

I have my complaints about the US and US politics and news but I wanted to watch some of this event just to see this historic event. Of all the modern US presidents, living and recently deceased, Carter was one of the most respected of them all.

 

I'm Canadian and a liberal left leaning politically. I have my complaints about the US, US government and US politicians, however I always appreciated President Jimmy Carter.

It's an historical event and one that doesn't happen often during our lifetimes.

I was wondering how many of you in the US and in the world are watching.
