Pale I wonder what you mean by a catch?

There was recent news of North Korea threatening to attack movie theatres if we played the movie in the United States. Sony put off airing the movie and they got criticism at allowing terrorists to make decisions for us. It was aired on the web. There is two sides to this situation. If they aired it and there was were shootings/bombings or whatever mayhem came from it then we could say, "They ought to have listened to the warnings before playing it. If nothing happened we could say, "We won’t let terrorists dictate what happen in the United States." I wonder, was it the response of not being attacked that made it right for them not airing it when it was supposed to come out? I wonder if there was a US attack because of playing the movie what would have actually been said about it? I wonder how with all the murder such as the cartoonists in France how far this terrorism is going to go? I wonder how it will impact how we live in the USA?

Lakers vs. Trail Blazers: 10 Things to Know (1/11/15) by Joey Ramirez Lakers.com Contributor Posted: Jan 11, 2015 FACEBOOK

 Here is what you need to know before the Lakers take on the Portland Trail Blazers. 1) Wesley Johnson will return to the starting lineup after missing the last three games due to a strained right hip flexor. Against Orlando on Friday, the Lakers won without Johnson for the first time in his two seasons with the team. Prior to that, L.A. had gone 0-5 when he sat out. 2) The Lakers outrebounded the Magic, 60-36, in Friday’s victory for their largest margin of the season. However, the Lakers will have a much more difficult time on the glass against Portland, which leads the league in rebounds (46.7). 3) The Lakers and Blazers played each other just six days ago in Portland. Led by 39 points from Damian Lillard, the Trail Blazers won, 98-94, and notched their eighth fourth-quarter comeback of the season. Portland is currently the only team in the NBA with a winning record while trailing after three periods (8-5). 4) Lillard, who had 16 points in the fourth quarter against L.A., is known for his late heroics. The Oakland native scores more points in the final frame (6.5) than all but two players. Lillard has been especially devastating in his last three games, averaging 8.7 points in the fourth quarter, while shooting 50.0 percent from the field, 44.4 percent on 3-pointers and 83.3 percent at the free throw line. 5) LaMarcus Aldridge has been on an eight-game rampage since Dec. 19. During this period, he is averaging the third-most points in the league (25.9), while grabbing 11.0 rebounds and picking up five double-doubles. The Trail Blazers have outscored their opponents by 12.4 points with Aldridge on the floor, giving him the second-best plus/minus in the NBA within this stretch. 6) Portland sharpshooter Wesley Matthews has close ties with the Lakers through his father, Wes Sr., who played two seasons with L.A. from 1986 to 1988. Unlike his son — who leads the league in 3-pointers attempted (7.5) and made (3.1) — the elder Matthews was not much of a 3-point shooter, going just 8-for-33 in his time with the Lakers. However, Wes Sr. didn’t need the deep ball to get his rings, as L.A. won the NBA title in both of his seasons as a Laker. 7) The Trail Blazers have been scorching since Dec. 13, winning 12 of their last 14 games. During this stretch, Portland has outscored its opponents by an average score of 106-97, while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 38.7 percent on 3-pointers. 8) The Trail Blazers rely heavily on their starting five to get the scoreboard going, as Portland’s starters average a league-high 77.2 points per game. With Chris Kaman moved from the bench to the starting lineup due to Robin Lopez’s injury, Portland’s highest scoring reserve is now Meyers Leonard, who is contributing just 4.8 points per contest. 9) Defense has been the Blazers’ calling card this year, as they are holding opponents to a league-low 96.6 points per game and the second-worst field goal percentage (42.9). Portland has been tough to contend with when the defense is clicking, having won 22 times in 24 games when it has held the opponent to less than 100 points 10) Led by Aldridge, the Blazers has arguably been the league’s best team on the boards, averaging an NBA-high 46.7 rebounds per game. Portland has also been able to control the glass regardless of volume, as it is grabbing 63.5 percent of rebounds per chance, which ranks second in the league.

I used Happy 1 of the 7 dwarves in another thread which made me wonder about the nights of dwarves sometime called little people now and midget is no longer looked on with favor and I am not making fun in any way. I wonder what the average high of a dwarf? Is there any shortness in life span of a dwarf?

Well done everybody!

I wonder if shoelaces are still called shoelaces when they are on boots? Are the actually bootlaces? Do people just call them laces to cover them or are they really called bootlaces?

Your right. I had a boss that kept stats for them and I'd make fun of him. My mother loves her Clippers and they are good now. Still from Los Angeles but they are NOT my boys. LA belongs to the Lakers!

I wonder why, genetically, men are at higher (many times) or lower risk than women in many illnesses? I wonder if it Is related to the Y chromosome? Yes it makes us men and without it they are female. I wonder what the connection with sex (gender) and disease? Why men? God made us different and not the same even though we have been told "We're al the same."

I wonder how we can humanly explain the claim that Jesus walked on water?
