Is Nepal headed towards a communist state?

http://www.aljazeera.com/blogs/asia/2017/10/nepal-headed-communist-state-171014095129113.html

Yes or No

 

[Winnipeg]

no (although I don't like them, I can't think why they should not be allowed to do this if they want to).

You open grapes on the counter and out steps a black widow spider. You:

Scream like crazy, hope someone hears you and helps;
Scream like crazy and run;
Find a large device and pulverize it;
Nonchalantly get a cup and put the spider and take it outdoor to enjoy the remains of the day;
call 911;
call the SPCA;
strike a task force to decide what to do;
or
put in a vial and return it to the supermarket

 

[Winnipeg]

Re NEpal - No

See spider this or that above

 

[ilovepaydays]

Scream like crazy, call 911 (in case you think you have been bitten, you NEED to do this ASAP), kill the spider, and call an exterminator to thoroughly treat your residence.

Controversy time!

Today, a military judge has sentenced Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after he pled guilty to charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy in Afghanistan in 2009. The judge sentenced Bergdahl:

• No prison time
• Dishonorable discharge from the US Army
• Bergdahl's rank be reduced from sergeant to private
• Fine of $1,000 fine from his salary for the next 10 months

Was the sentence fair? The charges had a maximum sentence of life imprisonment but the prosecution wanted a 14 year sentence. The defense only wanted the dishonorable discharge.

YES - The punishment + the five years of Taliban captivity is enough.
or
NO - Bergdahl deserted his unit and unnecessarily put his fellow soldiers in danger rescuing him.

There should be more categories for singles competition, specifically, hold 2 separate comps one for artistry, one for technical and a third for combined?

Yes, more medals!
No, give me a break

 

[ilovepaydays]

No - I can't imagine what the "artistry" competition would end up looking like. Plus, the because artistry is considered so differently - and IMO, I would still want to a superb level of skating ability. Look at classical art vs. "modern art", for example.

Twelve jurors began their deliberations today in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and a wealthy ophthalmologist

1) Gut feeling: Guilty or Not Guilty?

If convicted, Sen. Menendez will have to leave the Senate - but there's no rule that it is immediate. The current governor of NJ is Chris Christie (Republican) but his term is up in January - the election for his successor is tomorrow and the Democrat is expected to win. In most states, the current governor appoints a interim until the next election is up. The GOP currently has a 52-46 majority and several pieces of legislation (Obamacare repeal, tax reform, etc.) have been 1-2 votes shy of passing.

2) If convicted, will the Senate Democrats fight for Menendez to stay until a (they are hoping) Democratic governor comes to New Jersey in January?

YES - They Democrats need that vote!
or
NO - Principle: Convicts shouldn't stay in the U.S. Senate.

 

[Buzz]

1) Guilty
2) NO - Principle: Convicts shouldn't stay in the U.S. Senate
