    Yep, the way you pull this off is you douse yourself with gas before you set the fire. Then it works.

    Looks like he wanted attention, but not to die by fire. Kinda like the guy who tried to commit suicide with a hand gun, but then insures he won't by not loading the gun.

    Diem didn't ignore the Buddhist, I think he just didn't like them.
    I don't think Diem would be unable to get the Buddhist vote if a legitimate election was held.

    Likely the fuel can and matches were just props for a selfie

    The man was operating an electrified wheelchair scooter of some type and from what is being reported was frequently seen in and around the White House area.He is reported to have had no political motivation only wanting to end his own life.

    Personally if I was going to burn myself up I think I would take acid and jump in the fire at the burning Man festival

    I suspect you mean flintlock muzzle loaders would be allowed if they were locked in a government storage facility

    How come they don't sell nuclear bombs at Walmart?

    And can Elon Musk get his own fleet of fighter jets?

    I'm sure Elon Musk could drop a nuclear warhead with pinpoint accuracy

    And the rocket can land and be saved for reuse... how cool is that?


    You aren't going to believe this... a rocket just landed out front

    I have my own ideas about that

    But the unelected demigods on the SC say that nukes are not an allowed weapon of an individual miltaman

    And I am comfortable with that

    And I guess we have to get comfortable that Kim jeong Hoon still has them to

    I learned this week that South Korea has a new president it's not Moon anymore?

    Why is defense spending going up if we're not doing any exercises? I thought we ended them to save money? And to appease that fine leader of North Korea. Tramp will have us calling him dear leader pretty soon. It's a Love fest after all.. we're supposed to think that Kim Jong Un is cool now aren't we?

    Moon is still president of south korea

    Its only been short time since libs were freaked out over the idea that trump would stumble into a nuclear war in korea

    Now you seem disappointed that there has not been a war yet

    No I'm not disappointed there's not a war I think that's a good thing

    I just don't like Donald Trump kissing Kim Jong un's ass

    All the ass kissing and the threat of a nuclear warhead on a missile is still there

    Hey if North Korea can be brought into the modern Western world power to him then that's a huge cell phone market

    But I bet we'll be cheering hip hip Huawei

    Make up your mind

    War or no war?

    Because a lasting peace takes time and cannot be rushed

    I saw the video of Isis burning a captured Jordanian pilot. Certainly a horrible way to go.

    In America, yes he could.
    (typical weapons for that fighter jet are a different matter though, but still possible, I think there's some federal form he'd have to fill out and get special local permission. A state like Montana would probably grant it)

    and I guess Kim Jong Un could figure out how to miniaturize nuclear warheads with plutonium 241??
    .
    I know that nuclear bombs are hot to the touch and plutonium 241 has a 14.3 year half life

    and I'm a nuclear engineer and I know if we're doing that it is ridiculously expensive and useless

    the environmental risks to the people around the production of the stuff is just deadly
    .
    I do know that plutonium-239 is extremely toxic the radioactivity is nothing the stuff will kill you if you get close to it


    I do not know about the toxicity of plutonium 241

    just keep it in the back of your mind that the Russians have used radioactive poison to kill people in foreign countries outside of their borders

    maybe Bob Mueller can figure out the whole thing about how Rex tillerson was fired when Rex tillerson got upset that chemical poisons were used radioactive chemical poisons were used outside of their borders that is why Rex tillerson was fired because he stood up to the Russia

    And honestly if you ask 9 out of 10 Trump supporters who Rex tillerson was they would not know

    Trump supporters just don't give up f****** crap about anyting
