I guess it depends on who had to shovel it.  I grew up in Northern Ontario, so I'm used to seeing a few feet drop at a time, 10 inches is not something that would bother me. Though I do understand how those areas that normally don't see much snow would find that to be a troubling amount to deal with. 10 inches of snow where I live would scare the crap out of me. Course, I live in South Florida, where it doesn't Snow period. |

I'm in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan so I'm used to snow ... and shoveling. |

Spent an awesome afternoon jamming with one of the bands I work with. It was great jumping between the baritone, standard tuned guitar and mandolin. Enjoying the lovely feeling of tired fingers and the nasty string groves now dug into my finger callouses.
I really hope we can play that tight for our gig next Sunday evening.

After 4 months of buying/swapping lego pieces, I've finally finished my Time Clock. 13 custom Lego Doctors on a painted wooden chopping board (time vortex painted by my lovely wife  . They might not be accurate for everybody, but they embody each incarnation to me  . It now has pride of place above the TV. Very happy with it ...   Cheers Tony |

This whole thing with IS claiming responsibility from the Paris attacks. The French government send planes to bomb known IS sites. IS will retaliate. Sadly this seems to be the only non-passive path that could be taken. IS refuse to operate differently, and the French want to feel more secure. Why can't everyone play nice? Then we wouldn't have these terrorist activities, refugee crises, civil wars and religious conflicts!

I think the Doctor explained this kind of behavior better than anyone else in last week's episode. |

Can we not just drop copies of the zygon story on dvd from planes rather than bombs.
Question...
What exactly do the attackers want?

Their ideals aren't compatible with the rest of the world (some aspects clash), and antiquated in comparison. There's no room for negotiation, and the only way for them to stop is when we are gone. The only way to stop them is immobilize or kill them. |

Hmm.
It's at times like this. I wish we had 'seed' ships
You don't want to live here... Here's your own world.
Off you go.

ISIS may be made up of radical Islamists but we should not think of them as a representation of Islam. They are just a bunch of evil lunatics. I for one do not want peace or to negotiate with ISIS. They must be destroyed because they want the destruction of our way of life.

It may be impossible to find common ground, but ultimately wouldn't peace be better than war? |

Made my day-Classes are suspended today.
Not made my day-The reason classes are suspended is that a student's parents called to say that he went home and picked up a gun, and they're not sure where he's going. They don't think he's on campus, but better safe than sorry.

It may be impossible to find common ground, but ultimately wouldn't peace be better than war? I think you need to do some serious research on ISIS if you think there actually can be peace with them. I am not saying defeating them will be easy. And yes you have to defeat the ideology as much as you do the group. They DO NOT want peace. No one in that group is thinking well maybe we can have peace. Peace to them is subjugating everyone else and living under 16th century Sharia Law. Even Muslims are Infidels if they don't follow ISIS idea of Islamic Law. I don't choose war lightly but sometimes war is the only answer. Not everyone can be reasoned with. And should we make peace with people who are doing and want horrible outcomes? Edit: And note I know the US for example is responsible also for innocent civilian deaths. Maybe too many. The goal should be preventing as many civilian deaths as possible. It's not always sadly possible. Accidents happen. However the US does not target civilians unlike ISIS. It's sad they are caught in the cross fire. And When mistakes happen the US & other western armies should investigate and see how similar mistakes can be prevented in the future. Civilian deaths play right into ISIS hands as well. |

It will be hard, if not impossible, to make peace with people whose beliefs are as backwards as ISIS, but I don't think that wiping them out is the answer. I'm just glad that its not my job to sort these things out, because there are no good answers. |

Of course. I don't think anyone here would suggest that ISIS is anything more than a group of radicals. |

They don't think he's on campus, but better safe than sorry. Yeah, there's been too many campus tragedies. For some reason colleges and cinemas seem to attract it. Guns are easily the most foreign thing about America to me. I've never even seen one in person. |
