It doesn't sound very environmentally friendly, don't you care about your carbon footprint?
How about cutting up the flags and sewing them up into patchwork quilts? Or give them to the homeless to keep them warm.
Excellent idea, Greta!

Unfortunately, Bob is more interested in seeing himself as making unique proclamations rather than actually accomplishing anything of value/benefit for anyone else... such as he could do with Flag Repurposing International.

My own flag activity: I've been thinking of getting a small pirate flag, and then with a few friends (who've already offered their commitment), dressing up like pirates, rowing across a body of water nearby to plant the flag on the opposite beach, and then rowing back... all within a very populated area of countless onlookers. :D Seriously, (and this is the point) how is this any more absurd than any other territorial thing humans do... and at least we're having fun doing it. My only concern is getting arrested for causing a disturbance or littering. 8)

A definite possibility, especially with a leftist message ...

The latest from the AMA:

http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-ne ... ds-n686876

The article that Hobbes posted is inconsistent with the other articles. One possibility is that someone took the English/Wales dementia rate figures and converted them into English/Wales dementia death rate figures. Other possibilities exist.

Here's another article:

OR maybe you should learn to read the article I posted DUH!
The numbers are for the UK.
The difference is because fat bloated Americans are dying of over eating diseases, and dying because they can't afford medical treatment so do not grow wold enough to die of dementia.
Whereas in the Uk, heart diseases are not the problem they were and life is longer because we look after our people.

You can look after anybody if you steal other people's money to do it.

No you should learn to read the IBT article, DUH. (btw IBT just did an article on reverse aging, I know you believe everything they print DUH).

You idiotically suggested that the figures were wrongly extrapolated from UK numbers to world figures. That is where you went wrong because you never read anything.

The least you can do is Google! And since the least you can do, is all you ever do. You might as well Google, because you never read what others write or link. If you had done so, you'd not have made such a fool of yourself so many times on this thread.

You're just flapping your lips. Maybe you have no evidence to present. So maybe you're trying to fool us.
