  1. Honestly, people.The land people call Israel is pretty much a desert with a little coastal region. It's okay, but it's really not that nice. It's about 8,000 square miles, making it smaller then New Jersey. Can't we all collectively "get over" Israel, or Palestine, or whatever people want to call that collection of sand and rocks. Do people really have to die, and do nations all over the world really have to become involved in awkward political alliances just so group A or group B can live where some other people from group A or group B may have lived long ago?Am I the only one who things this is completely insane, and that in our modern, rational time, we should be rational and smart enough to get over what people did a few thousand years ago?
    but it's 8000 sq mi of holy sand and rocks.seriously, though:with regard to the whole israel thing, the problem palestinians have--and it's a justified one--is that when modern day israel was formed, it was (pretty much) the first time that outside powers kind of came in and "settled" a conflict that was always being not-worked-out internally between the two groups. while there has hardly been anything remotely resembling stability in the area for, well, thousands of years, there was at least a sort of honesty to the conflicts there that stemmed from the fact that the people invested in that conflict were the ones doing the fighting. when israel was formed, the jews agreed to the boundaries drawn by whitey, but the palestinians did not. when you don't get your way with regard to the drawing of your homeland's borders, you're going to be pissed off.while i'm hardly an expert on the history of the region, i do feel like i know enough to say that it's pretty stupid to think that things could have gone well when all of jerusalem was given to one side of the conflict during the partition agreement, because both groups like to pray and worship stuff there for whatever reason.there are lots of areas of the world where these sorts of conflicts go on, but not a whole lot where the US has chosen to have a strongly-vested interest, which is really the only reason that we focus on israel instead of ossetia (sp?), the congo, other areas in africa, etc.

  5. About 10 years ago I was riding in a car with a buddy who was stoned. We got on the freeway at about 3:00AM heading home and he was going very slow. His hands were at 10 and 2 and he was really concentrating. I gave him a second before I asked him what he was doing. He replied, "I am going slow so I don't get pulled over." ... "Dude, you are driving 15 MPH, on the freeway!"He finally sped up to 45 to get us home. I did not feel safe in that car.ANECDOTAL!
    haha, reminds me of one of my friends in college who claims that this happened to him on mushrooms (omg don't drive on mushrooms):he got pulled over on the highway tripping balls. the officer asked him, "son, do you know how fast you were going?" and he replied, "about 75, probably. i'm sorry, officer."the officer then says, "FIVE. you were going FIVE miles per hour. i don't know what you're on, but you're obviously not drunk, so please get off the road and sleep it off."not sure how true it is, but it makes me giggle.
  6. i think it's pretty hard to just get a little bit high, but i haven't smoked brick weed in a while.that study henry quoted REALLY surprises me, but i trust a scientific study more than my own subjective opinion (oh, if only more people were willing to say that!). i mean, i smoke a good deal of pot, and it always changes my mindset to the point where i don't consider myself as competent a driver as i am sober, so i don't drive high, ever. i'd probably have no problem having public policy err on the side of no tolerance with regard to "altered" driving, but i'm not aware of any thc test that can differentiate between whether you smoked an hour ago or five hours ago, which would make things somewhat difficult. would saying the alphabet backwards without giggling suffice?afaik, though, it's perfectly legal to drive after snorting 10 xanax, so there's that.

  7. fwiw i am pretty sure that limping 100% at <10 dollar buyins, if you allow yourself to limp/reraise, could be pretty successful against total lp fish if you're good at postflop play. but that's not to say that it'd be the most optimal approach--it's just an overextension of the idea that against total retards, you want to play more hands cheaply preflop and punish them postflop.just limping alone seems kind of silly, though, as does trying this in a setting with anything remotely resembling competent villains.

  8. this whole situation is so ****ed. politics aside, i just saw an interview with a geologist who said that after the failed attempt today, we basically have the big/nuclear bomb option (risky for reasons already mentioned) or have to invent something new to try, or else we could be looking at THREE YEARS of this until the well starts to dry up. gg east coast if that happens, jesus.as to the obama criticism, the only real question worth asking is "could he be doing something he isn't doing already?" and outside of some sort of empty feely speech, i think that the answer is a pretty clear "nothing." bp, on the other hand, as well as the regulatory agencies, christ. if we don't start criminally prosecuting negligence (if there is any, which i'd say at this stage is likely) in these sorts of situations, i'll go ballistic. i also have no idea why the media isn't spending like 90% of all air time interviewing scientists (or pastors, BG) from like every university in north america until this shit gets plugged up. there will be plenty of time to figure out who to blame later.

  9. It's not because of that, it's because you suck.
    :racistjoke:
    I will take checky vs you in a bet anytime you chicken lol his game vs yours, no comparisonand yes my game does suck I do admit thateven your game vs troyo I might take Ray vs you Gallo lol
    fwiw i once successfully checkraised gallo in night baseball, a game of perfect information. pretty sure he beat me in the hand, though.
  10. was this jab at me??? if so plz in the i hate psu thread... on serious note i really dont blame everyone that left at time of 4bb (which i was apart of then i stopped poker altogether) it was def warrented...
    lol, no, i meant me :club:.it just got to the point that i knew that a fair number of regs i played against regularly were reading all of my strat posts and advice and that it was costing me pretty significantly in terms of winrate. i had to change my general style a bit and quit posting publicly to get it back. i'm pretty sure a lot of others would say the same.
  11. OOO PLZ COME BACK I ENJOYED U
    but you never even had me.on a more serious note (apologies--i'm having a srs drunk for some reason), i think that the main reason so many people left fcp was that it became so ridic -ev to post strategy on a public forum (esp when one was so retarded as to sign up for poker forums with the same sn as ftp/stars, ahem), and when a lot of us migrated elsewhere for strat, the social part kind of migrated with us. tbh, i'd like to retain some sort of regularity of posting here, too, but it's a bit unwieldy to keep track of multiple forums, at least for me.
