Displaying 1,531 To 1,560 Of 18,974 Comments One Veteran’s Opinion About the POW Swap Just trying to do my job by keeping The Planet respectful, AdLib, and no, the bar isn’t too high. » Posted By Kalima On June 9, 2014 @ 5:17 pm I removed the offending comment, and keeping the peace here is part of my job, and not in the least offensive to anyone who keeps to our rules in our Terms of Use. Sorry if you felt offended. » Posted By Kalima On June 9, 2014 @ 5:02 pm We ask for a certain amount of respect for other members here, and if you can’t remember that, we will be forced to remove your comment. This is not HP. Please read our Terms of Use. Thank you. » Posted By Kalima On June 9, 2014 @ 2:11 pm My pleasure cognitogrrl. As much as I hate the speculation and false reports in the media, I enjoy it immensely when they are proven wrong at a later date. Me, I like to decide once all the facts are in. From what I have read from fairly reliable sources makes me think that he should never have been sent to Afghanistan. Like you, I’m glad he is finally home and will get some much needed help. » Posted By Kalima On June 6, 2014 @ 5:07 pm Good Morning Nirek. The Planet is about sharing and teamwork, so it’s a pleasure to pass along stories from many sources. Have a peaceful day and see you soon. » Posted By Kalima On June 6, 2014 @ 3:35 am Always a pleasure to share, Nirek. Peace. » Posted By Kalima On June 6, 2014 @ 12:16 am If this is the case, and he didn’t receive counselling, then those who sent him to Afghanistan, are just as responsible. Of course the military will never admit to it. —- Bergdahl Is Said to Have History of Leaving Post http://nytimes.com/2014/06/06/world/asia/bowe-bergdahl-walked-away-before-military-report-says.html » Posted By Kalima On June 6, 2014 @ 12:14 am The Real Reason the U.S. Didn’t Rescue Bowe Bergdahl After a second escape attempt, the American hostage was being moved so often, American commandos would’ve had to raid a dozen safe houses in Pakistan at once. » Posted By Kalima On June 5, 2014 @ 6:10 am So what’s the next step? Impeachment again or does he need to move out of the WH? Is that you Teddy? » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 9:29 pm Hello Handyman and welcome to The Planet. I’ve caught this conversation and understand your conviction and passion about this issue. In fact I agree with you. Although we have very few rules here, the most important one is to remain civil and to refrain from personal insults even when we strongly disagree with another member. Here are our Terms of Use which will explain what we like to see here. Thank you for your cooperation. https://planetpov.com/faq/terms-of-use/ » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 1:07 am The news about this man is truly sickening. The noise from the RW politicians even more so. Remember they were all for torture too. What would have pleased them, that this guy captured and held for five years should have been beheaded by the Taliban? No one knows for sure the circumstances surrounding his capture or his mental state when it happened. Just cool it and spare some compassion for a fellow American. He’s payed his dues over and over again. As for McCain, he should be permanently gagged. What a disgrace!! EDIT: Just read this. An article by Michael Tomasky stated it perfectly. “Bowe Bergdahl Is the Right’s New Benghazi”. —- Bowe Bergdahl Is the Right’s New Benghazi “Buckle up: The right is going to try to turn the Taliban prisoner swap for ‘deserter’ Bowe Bergdahl into a Willie Horton moment for the president—and they’ll ride it to January 2017”. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/02/bowe-bergdahl-is-the-right-s-new-benghazi.html Prisoner swaps happen all the time. Why is this any different? Well, because Obama agreed to it. Thank you for the article Nirek. » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 1:33 am Huffington Post Finalizes Its Divorce From Its Bloggers Glad to be of help. Nice picture btw. » Posted By Kalima On June 10, 2014 @ 10:00 pm My pleasure. EDIT: That was speedy, I had to wait almost two days for my left eye to show up. Must have frightened someone along the way. 😉 Well done! » Posted By Kalima On June 10, 2014 @ 9:45 pm Hello AllenMcw.

We hope you will find what you are looking for here with us. We are a friendly, lively and caring bunch, and please feel free to jump into any conversations. I left HP in 2009, and have never looked back. Again, welcome. » Posted By Kalima On June 10, 2014 @ 7:46 pm Twopennygal, welcome to The Planet, and we hope you will find what you are looking for here. Jump into the conversations any time you feel like it. » Posted By Kalima On June 9, 2014 @ 6:19 pm Thank you. I should hope that with my left eye here in my comments to keep a watch over all of you, my presence lingers long after I sleep or wake up. 😉 » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 7:59 pm I might have briefly thought it Murph, but no, I would never say it in public. Besides it was your personal journey and for you to find out the truth for yourself. Well done for bringing what so far has been an interesting group of new members. Thank you for that. I do what I do every day because I have faith in The Planet. We are not planning to become a mega site, but we promise the welcoming community spirit that so many think they have lost, and many things that I believe will be of interest to them. Plus, absolutely NO trolls or senseless fighting. » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 7:08 pm Hello antmousie, and welcome to The Planet. Just so you know, there are many others who just come here to read who don’t have time to comment or don’t blog much anymore. That’s fine with us and btw, it’s nice to know you are “lurking”. 😉 » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 4:51 pm You are a rock, monicaangela and thank you so much. I’ll post again in your morning should you find the time. Goodnight from me and good wishes for you. Sayonara for now gentle soul. » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 6:11 am Oh good Lord, no offense taken. I’m glad that KT brought you here, he’s a very important part of the community at The Planet. Well, I’ll say goodnight from the land of the rising sun, and wish you well. Good Day and goodnight from me. See you next time. » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 5:51 am Good Morning JMBrodie, always nice to find you here. If I may I would just like to make a small correction. It was AdLib, KQUARK and I who started the site in 2009. Hope you have a peaceful day, and come back soon. » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 4:36 am I let my fingers do the talking. 😆 Facebook? Huh, I thought you said Spacebook? 😯 Taxi!!! » Posted By Kalima On June 4, 2014 @ 12:02 am Ah choicelady, it works both ways. We can never thank you enough for joining us and for giving us a wealth of information about so many mysterious workings of your government. Your firmness in many things you know so much more about than the rest of us, betrays your kindness and heart of gold that often shines here brighter than any star. Yes, well done to our friend KQuark for beating the censors at HP if only for those five minutes. No, AdLib and I will never profit financially from The Planet, it was never our motivation, but we profit in far greater ways when we see that our dream of bringing a safe haven for bloggers to express themselves without fear of intimidation coming to fruition, and it’s all the reward we could ever hope for. Stuff the sponsors who would want to control how we roll. Over my dead body, and I would rather eat glass. We left HP to escape the oppression already rampant in 2009, to start something different, not to emulate them. » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 11:02 pm Great primordialsoup! You can unfasten the seat belt now and take off your shoes. Welcome aboard! 😀 » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 5:39 pm Welcome to The Planet primordialsoup. We already have a great community of passionate, bright and caring people here. Why don’t you join us? » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 2:17 pm Hello Rickerando, and welcome to The Planet. Don’t let a failing for many years blogging site get you down. HP was already dead in the water when AdLib, KQuark and I decided to start The Planet. It all depends on what you want. We have all the things to fill your day right here without the faux pretence of parading as a Progressive site. We are a Progressive site. We have plenty of news stories, domestic and international although we are not a news site. Hopefully you will find it here and join us in our daily discussions. Again, welcome. » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 6:03 am Hello cognitogrrl and welcome to The Planet. The pleasure is all ours because it is the input of bloggers that makes any site with comments special. Into our 5th year now and it’s working just the way we envisioned. It works because we encourage mutual respect here. Hope to be seeing more of you soon. » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 1:02 am Hello Everyone, and a warm welcome to all of our new members. Nice to have you here. The pace might seem slower here because we don’t allow aggression or trolls. In their place we can offer you a safe place to blog where you can express your views freely, interesting conversations, the opportunity to write articles about issues you are passionate about, and a wonderful, friendly and caring community where you can be yourself. Hope you will enjoy it here with us, and again, welcome aboard The Planet. » Posted By Kalima On June 3, 2014 @ 12:27 am NASCAR Could Make A Difference If They Worked On Electric Cars Great idea Nirek, but would they take to the idea when most of those republican voting people attending, with their big “macho” trucks, scoff at those driving a Prius saying it’s a “librul” car? The change has to come from the top in this case, so maybe if enough people asked for them to go electric, they might consider it. » Posted By Kalima On May 25, 2014 @ 8:00 pmComments Posted By Kalima
