Life Nomadic: The Art of Getting Mugged {Gadling}
Apr 17th 2009 4:53PM I think your first mistake was carrying valuables in a dangerous area. I recognized that as soon as you mentioned they started taking your rings.
You should never be traveling in poor areas with "rings" and a "GPS watch". Only the cash you need and a watch maybe.
Final note, Krav Maga may be a little helpful if your life is threatened, but the rule is to just give up your money if it'll make them go away. I would also say if you are 110% confident you can physically dissuade them without any consequences, then maybe you can fight them off. But this is so unlikely, only if you're a 250lb american football player or wrestler or something against some thin folks.
Obama's closure of Guantanamo already in sight {Gadling}
Apr 5th 2009 1:59AM Not all of them are terrorists. A lot were just sold to the US for the $5000 checks we were offering (several years income). Wouldn't you turn over that guy down the street you hate for a few years income?
And then what happens is you have a few baddies in there and they radicalize the innocent ones because we give them no hope. The radicals give them religion and hope. So then they go to Iraq or whatever and kill us when originally they were not a terrorist.
What Obama will do is get them from legal quick sand and into a trial. Weed out the innocents, prosecute the baddies and we all win. But what we don't want is to make them all suffer. It doesn't do anything. And also if we kill them, they get exactly what they want: martyrdom.
The Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act {Gadling}
Apr 5th 2009 1:50AM Yeah man. The so-called cubans here are traitors and pricks. They are not real Cubans, but greedy, whiny slobs. If we never had this dumb embargo, Cuba would be known in history as the only successful Socialist (it's not communist) state.
Cuba door cracks slightly {Gadling}
Apr 5th 2009 1:43AM You are a troll and an idiot. Get a brain. Castro has nothing to do with the cartels. He tried to help his people and we stopped it with our stupid embargo. Now it's time we end this carp. Almost everyone agrees except uneducated fools like yourself who can't think without Rush Limbaugh's help.
