Marine Seargents Facebook comments against Pres. Obama: Valid? or Stupidity?

agmamayo @agmamayo (804) • Philippines 14 Apr 12

I have read an article on Yahoo about a certain Marine sergeant who posted derogatory comments about his Commander in Chief, President Obama. Some of the comments posted were citing the president to be a domestic enemy, a coward...

ShardAerliss The main problem here, I think, is that he said he would not follow Obama's orders. Would he say that to or about a direct commanding officer and expect not to be disciplined? As a member of the armed force it his job to follow orders. There is leeway,...

ShardAerliss As Florence said; this is completely political and has NOTHING to do with what is legal. Any power they can grant their allies in frightening the populace they will grant. They think that if they do enough to hurt a few people, all the others will fall in...

ShardAerliss Money simply stands in for very difficult to transport goods. If trading still exists then whatever you trade IS currency. It won't do away with scams, just make them more interesting XD If I offer to trade you a piglet for your box of apples, but give you...

dark_joev @dark_joev (3034) • United States 13 Apr 12

So it has finally happened the State has decided that they are going to charge Zimmerman with a crime in the case of the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The media of course is going to Casey Anthony this whole trial. The public is...

ShardAerliss I'm not in the USA, so I have a very different perception of this incident. Mainstream media here isn't interested at all in a shooting in the USA so everything I've read about this case has been via the internet, and independent sources at that; Twitter and...

ShardAerliss I used to wear a lot of rings, but it got too much hassle having to take them off at night and for work, so now I only wear one simple little signet ring that my granddad made. I wear it on my ring finger simply because that's the only one it fits on _

ShardAerliss I like Noel Fielding when he's on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, but I've never liked his own shows. The trailers for Luxury Comedy look awful. As a friend said, who is a huge fan, Luxury Comedy looks like he's trying to hard. I try not to be too influenced by...

There's no such thing as good girls, only bad girls who don't get caught.

cyclopz @cyclopz (251) • Sydney, Australia 8 Feb 12

Would you agree on this? I guess genereally speaking in this generation its quite rare seeing good girls who are away from those negative influences since people have also become quite modern and its just the price to pay for...

ShardAerliss I'll not talk about what happens to Patrick, as you're way behind (ep 14 airs tomorrow in the USA), but about Lisbon being shot and having to tell van Pelt to call for back-up; to be fair to van Pelt, she did just shoot and kill her fiancée. I think she's...

Cleaning an Aquarium

Nona Morris @nonersays (3335) • United States 4 Feb 12

I just got an older 29 gal aquarium from my brother. I've kept aquariums in the past, but never taken an older one. This one has white stains on the glass of the aquarium and the hood and such. I've been told they are hard...

ShardAerliss Thy probably are hard water stains (which are calcium deposits). Just use a normal bathroom cleaner that's designed to remove calcium deposits and give the tank a lot of rinsing out. Glass won't hold the chemicals and release them later, so as long as it's...

ShardAerliss I've just come back to mylot after a couple of years away (during which I was doing an awful job that sapped all my brain power, but never mind) and it does seem as though a lot of the "interests" I used to spend time on have fallen by the wayside. I still...

ShardAerliss Hah, that's brilliant. We mostly get junk mail from all the local takeaways, just their menus. I'm tempted to start doing this with the freepost envelopes I get from the bank though. They send me more junk than anyone else.

Heixyin @Heixyin (175) • Malaysia 1 Feb 12

Weird, sometimes when someone coughs, especially in a quiet room, i will also have the urge to follow them, to cough. Funny, but im serious. I try to control the urge, but somehow most of them ended up with a small jerking cough....

ShardAerliss Interesting. I don't think I've ever experienced this, as far as I can recall. I do get the urge to cough when I can hear a crackle in someone else's voice though. It can be VERY annoying.
