CORONADO, Calif. — The Navy will spend as much as $600,000 to modify a 40-year-old barracks complex that resembles a swastika from the air, a gaffe that went largely unnoticed before satellite images became easily accessible on the Internet.
The Navy said officials noted the buildings' shape after the groundbreaking in 1967 but decided against changing it at the time because it wasn't obvious from the ground. Aerial photos made available on Google Earth in recent years have since revealed the buildings' shape to a wide audience.

:confused:

JFK was boss from 1960-1963, then LBJ from 1963-1968, so this falls on those administrations. Then it was forgotten until 40 years later and the advent of Google Earth.

Darn that LBJ for not having Google Earth... :rolleyes:

Darn those sneaky Demoncrats.

Of course it is obvious they did it on purpose as some sort of nefarious campaign to make Naziism seem more aceptable.

Oh wait. No one noticed it for 40 years.

:rolleyes:

Seen this naval facility on CNN,and heard they are gonna spend $600,000 to re-shape it.
Lets be honest here,whats the big deal.

600k to fix it?

hell give me a 1000 gift card from home depot and about 100 of the workers that hang out there looking for day work and we can have it looking like a taco cabana by weeks end

At this stage, the big deal is wasting that much money just to fix the way a building looks from a certain angle.
It is a stupid waste of taxpayer money.

Agreed, Dharm.

Thats what I was saying,whats the big deal,why spend all that money for nothing.

Of course it is obvious they did it on purpose as some sort of nefarious campaign to make Naziism seem more aceptable.
Hey, what about those burgers from Red Robin's? Tasty, huh?:cool:

The U.S. Army in Frankfut, Germany operated the 97th General Hospital in an old Nazi built facility for decades. From the air, that building also was in the shape of a swastika, and they never did anything about it.

Has anyone in the United States actually complained about this building.

Damnit, how much more proof do you all need to see that we DO live in a fascist regime??!?!?!? I don't know about you but I am more convinced then ever. Believe what you will, but from now on whenever I see the US flag I will see a swastika.

Has anyone in the United States actually complained about this building.

Only political hacks as an excuse to "blame Democrats".

.

Why would the Democrats be blamed for the design of a building built in the 60s,more than likely by the Navy?

My guess is that Republicans are desperate for anything to smear the Democrats with at this stage because they have nothing else.

:lolhit: man your on fire today!

seriously though, if you cant tell he was joking you are one sad mother f&*er

man your on fire today!


Saw the opportunity... had to take it. :thumbs:

Well as I see it the Republicans have a number of disadvantages to get round.
1: Iraq
2: G Bush
3: No candidate who sticks out as a frontrunner.

You forgot to mention the complete failure of their ideology.
Their "Borrow and Spend" and "privatize everything" Voodoo economic policies are destroying the value of the dollar and the middle-class in America.
Their jingoism and hyper-militarism which led to horrors like Abu Ghraib, Gitmo and secret prisons have ruined any respect people around the world had for American morals.

The last bit is taken as excepted in Europe,so I didnt bother putting it in.

we should be more like europe, a bunch of bums who do nothing for the world but act like assholes

we should be more like europe, a bunch of bums who do nothing for the world but act like assholesMaybe I missed something in history lessons at school,so you can tell me.
Did somebody die and make the United States the worlds policeman?

sam people who made Europe the worlds nagging grandma

Well ya see,thats mistake number 1.
This aint 1945 anymore,Im sure all those people America liberated are very grateful.tho Id say most of them didnt realise they had to be grateful forever.

grateful for what? Turst me, I have been to europe in the last 5 years, there in no gratefulness there, except among the older folks along the Normandy coast who still buy you a beer when they find out your an american. I donte xpect the fat happy ignorant yourng people of europe to be thankful of our help liberating them or of our prevention of soviet invasion afterwards through massive sepnding and arms race with the soviets. Europeans are far to good fo rthat.

Ah come on Trav,the best thing to ever happen to the United States,was them European assholes falling out with other.You should have bought the old French man a beer.

I had a good time with the old french man, he was a tue gentleman who I had much respect for. Cant say that much for the punks and scammers in Paris.

Well,no one ever liberated me,but if your ever down my way I'll buy ya a beer or three.

OK, but no warm guiness!

No probs,we sell that to the brits.

Well ya see,thats mistake number 1.
This aint 1945 anymore,Im sure all those people America liberated are very grateful.tho Id say most of them didnt realise they had to be grateful forever.The people who died in the effort are lost forever.

It seems that what many fail to appreciate is that Europe is not simply one large nation, despite the common currency and endless trade agreements. Individually the countries are quite nationalistic and quite proud of their heritage, they are not a series of states bound together under one flag, one form of government. What ruffles Germany may not bother Italy in the least. Many here would do well to remember that.

all i want to know is what the fuck germany was thinking when they came out with Jagermeister....

Precisely right, lol. From Wikipedia:

The company was founded in 1878 by Wilhelm Mast. In 1934, the recipe for the herbal liquor was developed, and the product was introduced to the German market in 1935. The original purpose of this concoction was medicinal; being used to cure everything from an incessant cough to digestive problems. In Germany, it is still widely recognized as a digestif and is kept in many German households for such purposes, sometimes being irreverently called Leberkleber, or "liver-glue."

Nappy is the king of how to get information... I have been the past two hours reading about firefly via his link.

Now if only I could get a girlfriend... *searches wikipedia*

ever try the personals? look at adult friend finder..

!!!!!!?!?!

Incredible. I was just joking......seems I was closer to the truth than I imagined.

Damn, I love trivia. I cannot wait to spring this info on my drinking buddies. (none of us being Jagermeister devotees, though)

Maybe I missed something in history lessons at school,so you can tell me.

You're right. We shouldn't be the world's policeman. We should pull in our troops, protect only our borders and say fuck the rest of the world. I am all for the U.S. giving a big, Fuck You, to Europe. Too bad we couldn't turn back time and leave Europe to its own devices during the two World Wars.

!!!!!!?!?!. (none of us being Jagermeister devotees, though)

it is rough shit... not terribly strong but goes down oh so rough

Hmm,I wonder how the world would look today if America had stayed at home.

Only political hacks as an excuse to "blame Democrats".

.
Yeah, like "blaming Republicans" for a bridge collapsing in Minnesota. I see what you mean.

Hmm,I wonder how the world would look today if America had stayed at home.
You don't know!?!? It would be a fucking paradise! A bastion of freedom and artistic expression where the world's children could laugh, dance, and play with gumdrop smiles, and the adults would need plastic surgery to remove their permanent grins. We'd be living in a world free of oppression, bigotry, racism, and slavery. You could drink from any number of chocolate streams – from Russia on down. The water would taste like champagne, and you'd be having dinner with your Middle Eastern buddies nightly, who'd sell you their oil for 3 pennies per barrel, but here's the best part: you wouldn't need it because of cold fusion. Yep, you heard it here.....it would've been developed by the morally superior Europeans, who'd undoubtedly provide free energy to anyone who needed it.

Ahhhh, if we had just "stayed at home".......

In short, the US is just about the worst thing to have ever happened to the world. I mean, hell, we're even responsible for your diesel fuel price hike and mortgage rates. I'd hate America too, if I were you.

I couldn't agree with you more.

There would probably be a lot more people speaking German and no Israel.

.

Had Hitler not tried to take out England, he could have had all of western Europe - probably right up to the Russian border - without any significant interference. Japan could have done whatever they wanted, right up to the point where they invaded Pearl Harbor without much fanfare. The population of the U.S. just didn't really care.

Hmm,I wonder how the world would look today if America had stayed at home.

great question for the history section, acyualyI think we idd that one, but it would be fun to do again.

Yeah, like "blaming Republicans" for a bridge collapsing in Minnesota.

Conservative policies of not investing in infrastructure and privatizing the work out to the lowest bidder, actually.

Clinton was guilty of the same thing.

1.What are gumdrops?
2.Arabs dont drink''unless they be in London'',so,fuck they're dinner.
3.I am not superior to anyone.
4.Somebody stateside decided to play soldiers with MY diesel,so yes.
5.Somebody stateside sold mortgages to those who couldnt affored em,and the euro banks got in on the act,so yes.
6.If America had stayed at home,it would still be a second rate power,I would be called Wolfgang,and Frogger would be telling German Folk stories on the boards here.Danke.

I can still tell German folk tales here, danke sehr. Which would you like, Ashenputtel, Rotkepchen, something else?

great question for the history section, acyualyI think we idd that one, but it would be fun to do again.Go for it Trav,I'll call in and do a bit of posting.

I can still tell German folk tales here, danke sehr. Which would you like, Ashenputtel, Rotkepchen, something else?I told ya before,the one on top of your wardrobe,its a classic.

PS.Watchen the BundisLiga Schalke 1 Hertha 0.

Schalke used to be a football powerhouse but that was before my time. They are still the most popular club in Germany. I prefer Borussia Mönchengladbach or FC Nurnberg.

What are gumdrops?
A small candy made of sweetened, colored, and flavored gum arabic or gelatin and often coated with sugar.
Somebody stateside decided to play soldiers with MY diesel,so yes.
Simple supply and demand, son. Email OPEC and demand they lower the price of "your" diesel in Ireland. That oughta do it.
Somebody stateside sold mortgages to those who couldnt affored em,and the euro banks got in on the act,so yes.
Oh, it's our fault 'cause your banks decided to get in on the act? C'mon, Paul - you can do better than that. When you lend money to secure a mortgage during a housing boom, it's a calculated risk. Of course, we don't hear a fucking peep outta you guys when we earn you cash-money, but that's to be expected. You're fair-weather friends, after all. Like everything else, you just expect us to "fix it".
If America had stayed at home,it would still be a second rate power,I would be called Wolfgang,and Frogger would be telling German Folk stories on the boards here.Danke.
You probably wouldn't be alive, but I'd imagine you're right about Frogger. :)

You probably wouldn't be alive, but I'd imagine you're right about Frogger.

I would have protected you, Paul. I like the Irish and besides, they make good pets if you can housebreak them.:lolhit:

When I was a kid I would have painted:

Deutsche heimfahren

instead of

Brits out.

Well thanks Frogger.I thought you already done that when in Germany,keeping us safe from those vodka drinking fuckers.

PS. The women are very hard to house train,crazy bitch's.

PS. The women are very hard to house train,crazy bitch's.
They can't be worse than the Italians. I've dated a few of those. You know shit about "crazy bitches" until you bed one.

Yeah but they can always cook.Here they can always drink.

PS. The women are very hard to house train,crazy bitch's.

never trust a girl with red hair

They can't be worse than the Italians. I've dated a few of those. You know shit about "crazy bitches" until you bed one.

we are all forgetting about hispanic females...

Hispanics make good houde keepers,or is that the only jobs they get in America,never can tell.

Yeah but they can always cook.
And after 26 or so, say goodbye to that shapely ass - they balloon into fat chicks, and even worse yet, they still get premenstrual (which is no longer "cute" crazy; it's full-blown fucking "nuts" crazy). Take a serious look at any girl's mother before committing. 9 times outta 10, they're gonna wind up looking just like mom.

Hispanics make good houde keepers,or is that the only jobs they get in America,never can tell.
Of course not, Paul - don't be silly.

I hear they're dedicated prostitutes, too. You know, you can't just pigeonhole an entire race into one category. That's a serious no-no in America.

Ya reckon.Try saying that at a Halloween Party in Missisippi on a July nite.

You have it all wrong this hispanic females your describing are really ethnic. They are first or second (or even illegal) generation Mexican americans..... I am talking about the one who are americanized... Ones who have that hot temper in them,but know how thigns are sposed to go over here..... deadly combination my friends... almost as worse as the red hair females

Ya reckon.Try saying that at a Halloween Party in Missisippi on a July nite.
Well, you might be able to get away with saying it there, but at the rate in which Mexicans multiply, I wouldn't try it twenty years.

So,if ya ever come across a red haired mexican called Bridget,your fucked.

Well, if you play your cards right, hopefully. :D
