That used to be an issue until I left a sign that says. 'review facts often as memory fails before the truth does'. Got some T-Shirts left, how many can I put you down for?
None, after seeing what the mold did to you, I think I'll pass.

Yeah, it's like getting chapter and verse of the Bible rammed down your throat ad infinitum when 90% of it is pure, utter bull sh*t!-:)
I got that the firt time I heard that sermon, about 118 times ago but who's counting. The reasons why haven been expanded on at all, let alone what 10% isn't, in your opinion and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't agree on 1% let alone 10.. How can you ram anything when the media is text?

None, after seeing what the mold did to you, I think I'll pass.
Do I look like the kind of guy that would say mold was good for you? At least in the recovery stage you know what path you are on. The descent is miandering about a dark forest and not everthing you meet can be trusted and what can be trusted is not seen in that light in most instances. It was like my first intake at mental health, the whole left side of the list was checked and not one on the 'felt no anger'. If i was an bad man the landlord wouldn't have got off the back step when he indicated that memory loss at our age was to be expected, he didn't even acknowledge the same condition existed in a 20 year old also, the smirk that went with it put him on dangeous ground but he walked away unscratched

If I remember it was me putting you on ignore a time ot two so who was the more insane? Besides some topics don't require outside help to put people into the 'hysterics' zone. At least in my case there was a partial recovery but it would be like a reformed addict, watch it carefully becaus it may snap again. That little trip might explain why the coal town and such places were some of the places wher random violence happened the most often.

(that doesn't mean I ever lost the ability to put 2 and 2 together, the explanation just needed a bit of polish or a lot depending on where you were watching the show from)

Meanwhile estimates are up to 10,000 remain in Kobani.
And the rerpussions for Turkey will last for decades.
Turkish-Kurdish relations threatened by ISIL - Middle East - Al Jazeera English

But Turkey's intervention is conditional. The Turkish prime minister has demanded a military commitment from Turkey's allies to create a no-fly zone in northern Syria, a move the US has so far refused to back.

Kurds say the prime minister's statement was only meant to deflect recent criticism against Turkey's reluctance to intervene.

"They just want to say later that they were willing to help but got no cooperation from other parties," said Arshad Hassan, a Turkish Kurd living in Suruc, a border town.

According to analysts, Turkey does not believe that ISIL poses such a major threat.

"ISIL is not Turkey's concern," said Soli Ozel, a Turkish political analyst and journalist. "It's more interested in dealing with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Bashar al-Assad regime. Turkey considers this as an opportunity to accomplish its goal in the region: deal with its two major enemies, and ISIL is not one of them."

It has to do withe the Kurds being the ones that blew up some sailors in Turkey as well as other terrorist like activities. Turkey had to bite the bullet that night as that was when Israel boarded a ship in international water and Israel was funding and training these same Kurds to be their agents on the ground for covert activities in Iran. NATO is using her as a Yo-yo, she should have acted when she was a guest Security Member at the UN.

Since the attacks on ISIL he has increased attacks on the other rebels.

Surprising given they have a common enemy now. Perhaps the rebels still consider him more of a threat than ISIL.

Many left the other rebel factions as ISIL was having success.
Just how fuked the whole place is.

That explains in part how they grew so fast.

Assad up till a month or so ago had an agreement with ISIl- No attacks which was for the most part kept by both sides.Then when the world powers, the situation changed, he attacked ISIL positions, who promptly overran Military bases and slaughtered the soldiers.
Assad trying to portray rebels as Al Qaeda. And a good portion are Islamist's.

Im surprised they agreed to a cease fire in the first place given Assad heads a secular regime. Im also surprised by how well ISIL is doing in general against the militaries of both Syria and Iraq. Im guessing they didnt get enough training.

My uncle is going to Baghdad next week for a work conference. Im thinking he must be slightly crazy given how close ISIL is. Last I checked they were about 40 km away.
