@Baldimo,

Quote:
That is your excuse? Most people should know what they [NDAs] are, the media should have been telling them.
I'm talking about the acronym. If you ask most people on the street what's an NDA, you will not get an answer. And rightfully so. You chose to use that acronym that lawyers use to give the impression that you have experience with legal principles. Which you have shown no evidence of having.

Quote Baldimo:
Quote:
I'm trying to point out that people are smarter then you give them credit for and you are pointing out that they are stupid... This is the only way you can give the story any merit.
Incorrect. I'm merely pointing out that most people aren't as pretentious as you are and don't go around using acronyms for legal documents instead of the real workaday name. I think a high percentage of people would know what a "Non-Disclosure Agreement" would mean if you call it that. However, only people in the legal or related professions, who deal with those often, (like several times a day), shorten the name to "NDA". By using the acronym you are trying to signal that you have especial expertise on these matters. Instead, you are signalling that you are pretending to have it, which is quite a different thing.

Quote Blickers:
Quote:
Are you now suggesting that newspapers forsake looking at an applicant's credentials and instead insist on asking their party affiliation?

Quote Baldimo:
Quote:
I suggesting that it can figured out by how and what they chose to write about. It isn't hard to figure out the political leanings of someone by how they write a story.
In other words, if the legit media write something that deviates from what right wing media is writing, such as it was dubious that Iraq had WMDs, you feel that shows a left wing bias. The unfortunate part is, most of the legit media really didn't even do that, they got on board the Iraq invasion train, but you're still complaining they were biased to the left. You are unbelievable.

Quote Baldimo:
Quote:
I find it funny that you have to travel back that far [Iraq invasion] to find some sort of proof that the media isn't left-leaning. The attention they paid to military deaths when Bush was in office and their lack of attention when Obama was in office.
As the Iraq invasion blew up the Middle East and we are still involved up to our necks today, I felt it served to disprove your notion of the legit media being left leaning quite well. We are still dealing daily with the result of that invasion.

Oh, and now you object to the publication of body counts? You must be kidding. The Iraq invasion was sold to the American people on the basis of Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction and the war would be over quickly, so let's do it. Well, there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction and we are still over there. And the right is now complaining that even though the legit media got on board the bandwagon to go in and take out Saddam, they are left leaning because they kept track of the number of casualties.

You exemplify the person who first finds out what people on his side say, then believes in it.

Quote Blickers:

Whatever Trump does or says is all right.

Quote Baldimo:
Quote:
The MSM has done similar things for left-wing candidates. Bill Clinton anyone?

Bill Clinton didn't fill his campaign and Cabinet with a pack of Putin-loving Quislings who just got done working for Kremlin supported causes and meet Russian officials secretly. And then lie to the FBI and Senate when they try to check them out.

@TheCobbler,
Sessions always has a big smile and his eyes seem to twinkle as he explains his decision to kidnap children at the border, separate them from their mothers, warehouse them in abandoned Walmarts, then with a huge grin that practically splits his face, cheerfully reads a bible passage to justify this human rights violation.............How can the land of the free let this happen?

Almost 2,000 years after Paul’s letter, the 13th chapter of Paul’s instruction to the Romans is still being used to silence, warn and squash minority populations. When U.S. Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III quoted the verse Thursday to explain the Trump administration’s gestapolike policy of ripping babies from the arms of their mothers and throwing the children into internment camps, he was simply the latest in a long line of white people who used that verse to justify white supremacy.

@glitterbag,
Thanks Glitterbag for acknowledging my sentiments there.

It is nice when people can agree on matters that concern the way people think and operate.

This nun has a message for the members of the Trump administration who are using the Bible to justify ripping immigrant children away from their parents.

I used the acronym because it is a short cut to saying None Disclosure Agreement. If I was talking to someone I didn't know, I would use the full term, I know how to talk to an audience, I figured we had a smarter crowd here than that average Joe walking down the street, I'll stop giving everyone so much credit.
As to my experience in legal principles, I'm not a lawyer, I'm a support engineer and working in the Start-up server industry, I have had to sign a few with different companies, trade secrets and all. Just because you have never had to sign one doesn't mean no one else has.
Should I also not use ACA, or should I just call it Obamacare for you poor shlubs who can't keep up with modern day principles? Should I stop using acronyms all together?

You have got to be kidding me. This has got to be the weakest **** you have ever come up with.

Keep making things up that I didn't intend. I'm hoping off this BS ride you have created. You brought up Iraq and the media, I only mentioned how they reported the death of US soldiers daily when Bush was in office and didn't when Obama was in office. You want to go into their coverage of the Iraq war... That's a nice way to divert from the current media and their reporting on Obama and reporting on Trump.

What kind of country endangers their citizens by not vetting everyone who shows up? What kind of country has one major political party who puts illegals over the citizens? This country, but hopefully it is going to stop and that major political party will disappear.

This massive false outrage is just in time for the mid-term electoins. The DNC was loosing at every turn, so they had to find something to motivate their base. The average American will see this for the BS that it is.

Quote:
Quran (8:69) - "But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good" A reference to war booty, of which slaves were a part. The Muslim slave master may enjoy his "catch" because (according to verse 71) "Allah gave you mastery over them."

Quote:
Sahih Bukhari (41.598) - Slaves are property. They cannot be freed if an owner has outstanding debt, but they can be used to pay off the debt.

Quote:
Sahih Bukhari (34:351) - Muhammad sells a slave for money. He was thus a slave trader.

We should all know Muhammad is the role model for Muslims, or we should, because it is an undeniable fact. No Genesis here Wally.
Quote:
Since Muhammad was a slave owner and slavery is permitted by the Quran, the Muslim world has never apologized for this dehumanizing practice. Even Muslims in the West will often try to justify slavery under Islam, since it is a part of the Quran.
