1. The Earth is The Lord's

for as mankind has battled for centuries, over who owns, who governs, who reigns, over each tiny portion of the planet, ultimately, The Earth is The Lord's. Can we, for once, be humbled by the fact that we are merely travelers, pilgrims on this vast terrain?
2. Units in F or C ?
Dr. Fahrenheit ,   I presume   (12.14.13)
To most of the world, "0 degrees" means freezing point of water at a pressure of 1 atm, in other words, "0 degrees Celsius" To us Chicagomeisters, "0 degrees" is in Fahrenheit. Which is much colder, though would still be quite balmy here in Chicago. So which is it: 0 C or 0 F ? Suggestion: Consider signing up again for 11th grade chemistry.
3. Very cool
Cameron ,   USA   (12.14.13)
How could one not be pleased at the word of Islamist fanatics freezing to death in the snow & ice? No virgins for you, rebel commander. Carry on, snow storm.
4. @ Dr. Fahrenheit

Consider signing up for Grade 11 Social Studies. They'll teach you who uses Imperial measurement and who doesn't.

Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (12.14.13)
and it was around 0 Celsius, they deserve to die just by natural selection. If it was 0 degrees Fahrenheit more understandable , but they probably deserves to die anyway.
8. He should have worn a Canada Goose jacket

Quick call the UN and they'll have a shipment send out right away.
9. Obamal-Saudi-AlQaeda faction refuse to end Syrian civil war

10. rebels are more brutal than soldiers
zionist forever   (12.15.13)
Rebels & Assads forces all the same if anything the rebels are more brutal as they decapitate and remove organs from captured soldiers. They also rape women and loot because they think as they are the liberators they are entitled to a few perks. The soldiers might be killing but they are as brutal as this lot. May many more of the soldiers and rebels freeze, fewer of them all the better for the whole region.
11. Those that do brutal acts do probably
benjy   (12.15.13)
deserve this but the ones I feel sorry for are the refugees, especially the aged and kids and babies, as hard to survive in such freezing weather with no proper shelter and warm food. Basically the rebels caused all this misery and Assad.......where are tyhe other arabs countries with aid for these people, aid eg: food clothing and shelter NOT arms!
