Seventy years ago today. May we never forget. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor

OK everyone, things have gotten a bit stale here lately from my perspective so we are going to ramp up this thread. It's really simple....if the mood strikes you, pick another Freeones member (preferably someone interesting but, considering the possible scarcity of such a commodity...

Some people have no shame or ethics whatsoever. Stealing Christmas trees from a Boy Scout troop....and she's done it three years in a row! I say send out an ABP and track this miserable bitch down and throw her in the slammer for the holidays. What a low-life!! Link and video is here...

I saw a feature on TV last night where the commentator was lamenting the fact that the republican congress was doing everything it could to perpetuate the current economic mess in order to ensure the defeat of President Obama next November. How do the conservative members here feel about that...

OK, perhaps the most exciting and improbable World Series in history just concluded with the St. Louis Cardinals being crowned the new World Champions. Now the hot-stove season begins. Some high-profile free agents will be testing the waters and it will be interesting to see where they land...

....or "doughnuts" to be grammatically correct. Which national chain makes the best ones? As for me, I'll go for Krispy Kreme every time! :yummie:

Since we seem to be on an execution binge here, her's more fodder for the mill. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2011-09-21/troy-davis-georgia-execution/50491648/1 There was no physical evidence against this man to prove beyond the preponderance of a reasonable doubt as required by...

This guy is worthy of praise from all of us just for being ******** honest. He says he and his billionaire buddies don't pay their fair share of taxes and ought to ante up. It's about fucking time! Link is here: http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/15/news/economy/buffett_taxes/

I know there's an MLB thread going but this guy is so unheralded and unappreciated that I decided he needs his own thread there at Freeones. 1B Jim Thome of the Minnesota Twins hit his 600th home run tonight....only the 8th major league player in history ever to do so. This guy has been so...

We are selfish pigs. Arguing about nonsensical issues like politics, indulging our greedy and narcissistic selves in a decadent world of pornography,....etc..... In the meantime, thousands (many of them ********) are at immediate risk of starvation in the horn of Africa: Even more tragic...

Your tax dollars at work! Source is here: http://www.nypress.com/article-21342-the-making-of-manhattans-elite-welfare-farmers.html

Here's the guy who can and, in my opinion, ultimately will rise above the incredibly weak republican presidential field for 2012 and take the nomination. Furthermore, he's got the right stuff to defeat Obama. Ladies and gentlemen....meet Governor Rick Perry of Texas: He is a very appealing...

You don't see many blimp accidents these days. Take a look at what happened in Germany over the weekend and the selfless actions of the pilot who died to save the lives of his passengers: DiETI5-Pvw8 Related story here...

Things are moving in the right direction at long last for all of the Big 3 US automakers. First Ford, then GM and now Chrysler. Definitely a good sign for the economy. Reference is here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110524/bs_nm/us_chrysler

I have a friend whose *** is all fucked up smoking "legal" weed....synthetic cannabis, Kush, Spice, K2....whatever you want to call it. According to my buddy, it has basically turned the *** into a paranoid schizophrenic. Anyone with any experience with this stuff? I don't know much about it.

A friend of mine and I were having a discussion over the weekend about what represents a bigger threat to our shared and inexorably intertwined futures here on planet earth as time goes by....ignorance or apathy. Is ignorance (which can be defined subjectively as a perception that some of us...

Which mega home-improvement ******* do you prefer? For me, Lowe's is infinitely preferable to Home Depot for a number of reasons....cleaner, better organized and more floor help generally available. The prices overall are similar so that's a non-factor in my book. Anyway, curious to know what...

I need some help from any iPhone or Outlook geniuses out there. I am the owner of an iPhone and I just got a new laptop with MS-Outlook as my mail client. On my old computer, I could download and read messages in Outlook and have them duplicated in the inbox on the iPhone. With this new...

The game is 10 days away and today's line has the Pack by 2 1/2. I couldn't really care less who wins to be honest but I'll go ahead and take Green Bay. I just hope it is a good game. How 'bout y'all??? Pick 'em....

I don't care it your are right or left or somewhere in between....if you didn't shed a tear or two during President Obama's address to the nation tonight, you either don't have a soul, are a terrorist or simply **** the United States of America. In this moment of incredible tragedy, I have...

Another year begins just as the old one ends. Might as well get things rolling right out of the chute on the heels of the NC game last night. Here we go again!

According to deadspin.com, NY Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his wife Michelle are into some kinky foot fetish play. No problem with that....but when you are dumb enough to flaunt it on YouTube, it becomes everybody's business: Appears she shares the same name as a pornstar as well.....hmmmm...

I guess mocking dead American soldiers won't satisfy the appetites of these fucking lunatics anymore. Now these nutballs are zeroing in on that recently-departed paragon of evil, Elizabeth Edwards. :facepalm: Source is here...

Let us never forget. Cool site that commemorates that day in an interesting chronological narrative. Check it out....just click below the "****** map"....and please pause to remember those who sacrificed their lives 69 years ago today: :hatsoff: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/pearlharbor/

Sad news for a very brave, classy and courageous lady. I hope that dirty cheating rat bastard husband of hers feels the way he ought to feel after what he did to her. Ain't likely I guess. Anyway....really, really sad story. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20447423,00.html

I can't believe no one has put this up yet. Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and Monday Night Football broadcasting legend "Dandy Don" Meredith ****** away yesterday from a brain hemorrhage. I can still see him in the Ice Bowl against Lombardi's Packers in 1967 (13 degrees below zero!) for...

The purpose of this thread is not to re-open the death-penalty debate but rather to discuss how both sides feel about this review that a Texas State District judge has called for regarding the possible lack of processes that are in place under the current state system to safeguard against the...

Congratulations Detroit, Baltimore and Washington, DC. My original home town has overtaken you when it comes to violent crime. I knew it was only a matter of time before we took the title....sort of helps to make up for Mizzou probably not winning the Big 12 North this year. :thumbsup...

I have a good friend of mine who had been a 30-plus year smoker and he quit in just a couple of days by switching to these. I haven't smoked for over 7 years but I tried one of these and it was amazing! Literally, just like smoking a real cigarette without the unpleasant side-effects. Any...

This is unreal. A college professor does an experiment and eats virtually nothing but junk food for 10 weeks and loses 27 pounds: http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/45628/ I'm off to the grocery store as we speak! :thumbsup:

This is unbelievable: j-8kAVwO3ZA How scary is it that this nominee for the United States Senate doesn't even know what is contained in the first amendment of the US constitution??? Something any 7th grader should know??? :rolleyes::facepalm: And she wants to go to Washington to help guide...

It's past midnight in the UK so I'm posting this because (with all due respect to my good friend Stan Scratch), there isn't a bigger John Lennon fan on this board than I am. A giant among giants, his genius endures beyond the memories of those like me who actually had the privilege of growing...

Oh boy. I think the popular and proper term for her reaction to this revelation is called "back-pedaling". Talk about stepping in a pile of **** of her own making! And now she's got to deal with Gloria Allred. She's fucked. :facepalm: Link is here...

Doing a similar thread for the NBA so I can't leave out my hockey brethren. Who is the greatest defenseman who ever laced up the skates in the NHL? If you choose "other", please elaborate. This is really tough for me because so many of these guys are great but I have to go with Larry...

Since we're just about to dive into the finals in the NBA, how about a little side debate for those of us with no rooting interest. Who is the greatest center to ever play in the NBA. If you choose "other", please elaborate. I'll admit I'm biased living in Houston but I'll take the ***** over...

Libertarian, tea-partier and new Kentucky republican senatorial nominee Rand Paul (eye-doctor *** of the celebrated Ron Paul) showed his racist colors in flaming red on the Rachel Maddow show last night. It's in 2 parts and takes almost 20 minutes to watch but it's worth it, believe me. If you...

I know there's a 24 thread somewhere but search won't let me use the number as a keyword so pardon the redundancy but is anyone here seeing what's happening in these last few episodes as the show is winding down? Holy ****....Jack Bauer is turning into a friggin' lunatic renegade! Last week...
