Mexican journalist Alfredo Alvarez, reported on his website that the shooting stemmed from a confrontation between active members of the Arellano Felix Cartel (CAF) and the Sinaloa Cartel.

According to local reports, the group of alleged hit men were targeting a member of the CAF cartel who was being investigated by the U.S. for drug trafficking. He was reportedly among those killed Saturday.

@bobknight33 You are an asshole. Like others have said, Mitt isn't someone I agree with but he seems to be an honest person when it counts.

John McCain was someone who I loathed mostly for picking that religious-nut-writhing-on-the-ground-chanting Sarah Palin. Genuine policy disagreements and VP pick aside though, he was a patriotic American and highlights just what a traitor this president and his supporters are to this country in comparison.

That said, he spent 5 years being tortured in Vietnam rather than leaving immediately because he refused to leave without his fellow American captors.

John McCain was and remains an honorable person and a patriotic American who cared about his own.

Here's a detailed account https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account


"What they wanted, of course, was to send me home at the same time that my father took over as commander in the Pacific. This would have made them look very humane in releasing the injured son of a top U. S. officer. It would also have given them a great lever against my fellow prisoners, because the North Vietnamese were always putting this "class" business on us. They could have said to the others "Look, you poor devils, the son of the man who is running the war has gone home and left you here. No one cares about you ordinary fellows." I was determined at all times to prevent any exploitation of my father and my family.

There was another consideration for me. Even though I was told I would not have to sign any statements or confessions before I went home, I didn't believe them. They would have got me right up to that airplane and said, "Now just sign this little statement." At that point, I doubt that I could have resisted, even though I felt very strong at the time.

But the primary thing I considered was that I had no right to go ahead of men like Alvarez, who had been there three years before I "got killed"—that's what we say instead of "before I got shot down," because in a way becoming a prisoner in North Vietnam was like being killed."


Don't ever talk about him again you fucking traitor.

I'm thinking it wasn't Jesus Christ that knocked over the strangely positioned picture. It's more likely that it was Jesus Alvarez, her practical joke loving buddy from 4th period Algebra.

Oh that was brilliant.

I think I'll google pics of Brooke Alvarez.

Yes, evidently I said deflation by definition = deflationary spiral... NOT. Also, you found a single article that says that the link between deflation and depression is "not closely related", written by 2 guys no one would consider economics titans by any means. They couldn't even support an argument saying it was not related. The preponderance of evidence supports deflation as a bad thing - I don't deny that there are people who suggest it's not related to bad things, but then again there are people who believe in Dianetics and Jeebus...
If you'd like to ignore the evidence, that's your choice. Doesn't make it right.


Unrelated personal attacks. If reports from the Fed itself aren't evidence, then it is a mirror on yourself I point your comment at me at. Here is a corresponding phot

As to a fallacy of an appeal to authority has been invoked, I site their qualifications.

More scholarly than you or I in the field I would wager. Accepting only main stream editorials (this source was actually a wiki article source) tends to fuel a group think which I never like to completely engage in, which is why I frequently view posts from Netrunner and the like. A healthy dose of life from a different perspective keeps ya honest. Anyway, please take this as it was meant, a nice conversation about a subject we both find interesting and controversial. Take the teeth off your comments as I wasn't meaning to make anyone's blood boil.

Story behind this film:

An unknown filmmaker from Uruguay has been given $30m by Hollywood studio bosses - to turn his $500 YouTube video of a giant robot invasion into a movie. Would-be director Federico Alvarez, who runs a post-production visual effects house in Uruguay, filmed 'Panic Attack' with a budget of just $500 in his free time. The five minute clip - which he then uploaded to YouTube - shows an invasion of Montevideo by giant robots and had special effects which could rival many big budget movies.

Once online it got the attention of thousands of movie fans… and (not surprisingly) studio bosses who wanted to meet with Alvarez to talk about his movie. The 30-year-old was whisked to LA where he was offered a $1 million directors fee and up to £30 million to make the film, by Mandate Pictures. The plans for the movie are said to have a "compelling original story" beyond big robots blowing stuff up. Alvarez has also been put up in a new apartment, given a new car and will work with "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi on developing the film.

Thanks, and very good for Alvarez!
