Forward March (2013)

Aircraft carrier resupply at sea

chingalera says...

Wiki snoopage purports that the Brit boat the Victoria was almost taken-out by some IRA bombs planted on-board during construction, one of which detonated and caused enough damage to delay her commission a few years. OH, and it's got one of those Terminator/Raytheon Phalanx robots on the deck, the autonomous, death from below incoming sky-turd zapper

Malcolm Gladwell - Why do some succeed where others fail?

chingalera says...

He's walking on the eggshells of perception speaking on race, thought he stuttered through an explanation well..

What he mentioned about the Brits schooling the freed slaves in Jamaica? This would explain perhaps the reason reggae is superior to rap and hip-hop in so many ways? Much more political, insightful, hopeful and tuneful. Oh, and kinder, gentler rage...

CIA Admits It Was Behind Iran's Coup in 1953

radx says...

The point is that this FOIA request produced the first official document to confirm the involvement of Allen Dulles and his spooks. The mere fact that the Brits and the Yankees were responsible for the coup is, of course, not news to anyone, or at least it shouldn't be.

If they presented some documents about, say, the installment of Suharto in Indonesia, it wouldn't be news either. But it would still be of interest to me.

"CIA releases information"......Oxymoronic??! Haven't peeps with the ability to dissect newsspeak and "official statements" known that the CIA orchestrated the Iranian coup for over 30 years?

Russell Brand on MSNBC Mocking Media

CreamK says...

Maybe it's too fast and complex for you.. Yeah, he uses posh words and rare terms but that's just one part of the act. It's a really nice twist on the other wise dumped down comedy. You compare a british and murikan cursing and the vocabulary is highly in the favor of the old UK punk...

Another good brit comedian is Tim Minchin, he has great vocabulary and some form of grace in his way of relaying information to another humanbeing. Both fellows makes people think and i like that.

As non-native english speaker, i enjoy good set of new words... Sometimes i wonder why 99,999% of the stuff i see on tv uses a lot of same words over and over to explain something that could be described with one word more accurately.

Soooo whaddya do, stand outside 9800 Savage Rd Fort Meade, MD and toss bottles and bricks at the windows?
Americans could do what the Brits did when their poncy government ass-fucked them and lay down and take it like a bitch, I suppose.

Oh hai, in the opening 10 minutes this guy rattles-off the addresses of the largest of the heads of the Babylonian hydra...I imagine an army of Rastafarians mounting a frontal assault, mon!

Do Big Cats Like Marmite?

robbersdog49 says...

Crumpets are the best! All that marmity goodness. Seriously, I could eat marmite from the jar with a spoon. Spread it on thick! It's the only way to eat marmite...

Jinx said:

I'm not sure how any likes it when you lay it on that thick. To spread it thinly enough to be palatable you really need to mix it with melted butter. Toast and toasted muffins are perfect. Crumpets are less than ideal since a lot of marmite tends to get trapped in the holes. Anyway, these cats are doing it wrong.

PP, you and Joseph most-likely aren't malnourished and get your riboflavin, folic acid, and B12 from other available sources. Marmites' loved by the perpetually malnourished!...LIKE BRITS!

Bill Maher - Bush Biking With Iraq Vets Nauseating

Yogi says...

The thing I would say is if Justin Beiber did it I would be ok with it because maybe a hundred million people would send in money to support the Vets. With Bush doing it I would say the same thing, although I'm not sure that's true. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think Bush has the kind of support he used to have. If people are still following him and paying attention than yeah this is great. However I can see a lot of people being turned off by this as well, although maybe that would happen if Beiber did it too, I don't know just whatever. Bills wrong, he gets a lot of things wrong.

Holy shit Brit Marling...I love Another Earth but seriously get off that show.

Here's what I don't like. Liberal Cunts saying shit like "Well he's justifying what he did and it was awful." What HE Did. HE Didn't do it like some kind of Dictator you idiot. The fact that you sit around masturbating with iGadgets is why this fucko and his cronies were back in office in the first place. We have SOO many privileges and shit is sooo easy for us here but none of you bother to organize you just collect your thoughts for bitching. It's like America and it's Democracy are the latest piece of shit iSomething you bought, and you're rolling out of bed to make a comment on a blog post "Yeah I like some of it but other parts are just messed up I don't know what they're doing with my stuff." This is LIFE Mother Fucker in one of the Freest nations to ever exist in History, Wake up and participate.

People in Fucking Turkey are protesting while getting destroyed because they fucking care so much. If you care you would've done something, but you didn't you sat there and whined because you're a consumer. You've been completely neutralized and all you can do is sit there watching the rest of your life tick by.

Bush wasn't a Dictator, he was a dude that got elected and brought in a whole ton of other dudes who ruled the country before, and fucked it up plenty. Wake the fuck up and stop blaming others.

Mr. Bean - The Holiday Suitcase

lucky760 says...

I hear that British people don't find Mr. Bean all that funny. Of course, that's probably coming from a single British guy speaking for the entire population, but it makes me wonder how many Brits actually do enjoy Mr. Bean.

British Sifters, weigh in.

Fire Bombing Of 67 Japan cities During WW2. War Crimes?

SDGundamX says...

The problem with this kind of argument is that it conflates the crimes of select people in the Japanese military (not everyone was a bloodthirsty or order-following robot) with innocent civilians (although see my comment from 5 years ago about how some have rationalized attacks on Japanese civilian population centers). If you believe that the Japanese people are culpable for the crimes of their military and should pay the ultimate price (i.e. death) for those crimes then you've essentially also rationalized the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., as those that planned them explicitly stated they were retaliation for U.S. political and military interventions in a variety of Muslim countries (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motives_for_the_September_11_attacks for more info). Holding the citizens responsible for the actions of their government/military leads to very murky waters indeed.

To be fair to America at the time though, everyone was targeting civilians during World War 2--the Germans were bombing indiscriminately in London, the Brits and U.S. retaliated with the same kind of attacks on the German homeland, the Japanese military was doing medical experiments on random Chinese farmers they rounded up... it was a f'd up war all around and I think by the time the firebombings and atomic bombs were dropped in Japan people were willing to do just about anything to end the war. Victory became more important than humanity.

bcglorf said:

Read about what the Japanese had already done to the locals throughout their conquest of Asia before judging Trumann too harshly. It's important for documentation like this to remind people how horrific war is. It's also equally important that the context not be lost lest we forget the even more horrific events that led people to deem the war the lesser evil.
