Guns with History

ELee says...

US gun deaths since 1968: 1.5 million
Deaths in *all* US wars: 1.4 million
Congratulations, the NRA is officially a bigger enemy of the US than the NAZIs.
This has nothing to do with 'rights' or 'self protection'. This is all about gun manufacturer profits.

"In the nineteen-seventies, the N.R.A. began advancing the argument that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to carry a gun, rather than the people’s right to form armed militias to provide for the common defense."

The Movies Of Christopher Nolan

Yogi says...

>> ^Payback:

My top five:
Ridley Scott - Alien, Blade Runner
Kubrick - 2001, Clockwork Orange, Dr Strangelove
Christopher Nolan - View video above
The Whedon - Firefly, Buffy (TV), the Avengers
Nicholas Meyer (Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country)
-Interesting tidbits
-I knew Nimoy Directed The Voyage Home, but didn't know he directed 3 Men and a Baby. - hmmph.
-I don't include Lucas, as he was a (3 movie) one hit wonder. Seriously, what else has he done thats's memorable?
-JJ Abrahms has WRITTEN and PRODUCED a ton of stuff I love, but he hasn't really directed anything.
-The Buffy episode "Hush" is the best, most original, scary, stand-alone story I have ever watched on television.


Whedon is amazing that goes without saying. You're right to not include Lucas, all you have to do is watch Indian Jones trilogy to see how he shouldn't direct and Spielberg should!

Obama: If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon

quantumushroom says...

More proof the Obamateur has no clue. By injecting his ginormous, jug-eared ego into a local matter, he has actually made it harder to prosecute Zimmerman, should it come to that.

Do note that last year in Florida, Nicholas Lindsey, a 16-year old Black kid, shot and killed a White cop without provocation. Where were the liberals then?

Exactly.

Chomsky dispels 9/11 Conspiracies with Logic

mgittle says...

I think the most interesting thing here was Chomsky talking about how humans are absolutely terrible at predicting things before they happen, but have an amazing capacity to construct narratives to explain events after they occur (often with zero evidence).

It just so happens there's an entire book on that called "The Black Swan". I highly recommend it. The author is also coming out with a new book called "Anti-Fragility" and has released several draft chapters on his FB page (I hate FB...his is the only page I go to).

I think this Taleb guy is one of the most important thinkers around...he's just not as public as Chomsky, Dawkins, etc, nor is he an academic.
