I honestly don't believe these movies will be done right.


At least we have the full story. No concern about a rushed ending with Jesus going crazy and burning down Jerusalem.

Crazy idea but maybe go back to written assignments in class


My sister teaches at a small state college. She’s converting back to in class quizzes and blue book finals/papers.

She doesn’t want to, but the school hasn’t been able to come up with any other solution.

She’s had students come to her office and complain about grades, and her go to response is to take what they turned in and ask them to explain an answer in person or define some of the bigger words they used in their paper. They never can.

I always try local food, but I also make it a point to eat at a McDonalds in every country I visit.

I think the comparisons with McDonalds here and how they operate are interesting.

Toppling Iran is the easy part. We could easily rain hell down upon the regime. The hard part is the aftermath. If you’re going to topple it, you better have a plan in place to provide immediate humanitarian assistance or you’ll end up with a full scale humanitarian disaster.. The biggest mistake we made toppling the Iraqi regime was believing we would be hailed as heroes and liberators. We weren’t and it allowed fighters to pour in from around the region.. so before we go breaking it, we better understand what we are committing ourselves to.


Iraq was probably going to be a disaster no matter what, but a big problem was letting society stop after we “won”. Most everything was disbanded.

Iran has a much better functioning society in place. The key is cutting off the head of the snake/removing the regime, while keeping as much of the country chugging along as possible.
These uprisings seem to ride a wave. They have a natural crescendo where if something is going to change, it has to change at that point.

If it doesn’t, it’s almost impossible to keep the momentum going.

We don’t fully know what’s going on on the ground, but it certainly feels like we’re at that crescendo point right now or maybe moving past it.

Sorta but Monty did a pretty good job of running it in the ground before he died


Technically Monty did not run it into the ground. He was just really good at keeping the plates spinning and never put a backup plan in place for if he had a heart attack and died.

The Twin Cities control the state and all the normal people have left the Twin Cities.

ETA: the capital city isn’t Minneapolis
Use your sales job as an excuse.

“Sorry, can’t do that, got a thing for work. This sales stuff never ends.”

Then go fishing

Thanks for the post in Arabic



That was for any Brits reading the board
I’m hoping the delay is because we have some more strategic and shocking Tom Clancy shite planned rather than just bombing the shite out of them.
Random thought: I bet all the regime people are refusing to use handheld devices in dealing with all of this.

Employees should ask for $50 per hour now...


I could see the one or two remaining employees that are required to run a store making that.

Have to figure the last king of England is currently alive right?

I enjoyed it for what it was. I wasn't really expecting too much


This has pretty much become my reaction to every movie that wasn’t complete garbage that I’ve seen in the last 5 years.

Good enough for streaming or garbage is pretty much all they make now.
Iran has a bit more of a functioning society than a lot of countries facing regime change.

I’m sure part of our approach is how to help without having to rebuild too much of that functioning society.

If it was a complete shithole, helping would be simpler.

I’m anticipating this being good. There are 3 short stories with these characters and each would make a good season of TV


The first story I get, it’ll make a great six short episode show.

Stories two and three, if you just follow them as written, will not be near as good as story one. It’d be a little different if the Blackfire Rebellion had already been put on screen. Or maybe they’ll use flashbacks to the rebellion to fill in the seasons.

Anyone know if the Brits still have their carrier in the area?


If so, we better ask them to leave. We don’t want the Iranian Regime to have that kind of support.
I doubt we’d do it the same way, but if we swooped in and grabbed the head dude again without any difficulty, it’d be pretty epic.

That's the only scenario I can see making sense.


Im guessing it’s pretty simple. Somehow there’s evidence that homeowner had him neutralized, and then decided to kill him.

Maybe he neutralized him and someone called the cops, told them he wasn’t a threat or something, but still alive, and then cops get there and he’s got a bullet in the back of his head.
My parents are doing their part. They’ll keep their old painted walls and dark wood paneling the same until they die.

There’s still some shag carpet in a few of the less used rooms.

We did finally convince them to take the carpet out of the bathrooms and kitchen.
