Here is an interesting fact that I didn't know about the Celtic/Lakers rivalry ( I am not a huge basketball fan so this is probably common knowledge).
"The two teams have won the two highest numbers of championships, the Celtics 17, the Lakers 16; together, the 33 championships account for more than half of the 64 championships in NBA history."
Pretty cool!

Lakers rule. Lakers need to tie and then take over Celtics' number of championships! Become a Lakers fan.

Ah, the good old days! I was watching and listening to NBC's NBA theme song yesterday.

Ditto. That's when I became a Blazer fan. Roomie/bandmates/friends were all fans so it kind of rubbed off on me when we'd all get together at our place for the games.

Yeah, they totally did. I miss the old days Lakers versus Blazers in the early 1990s/90s.

Sorry, I feel your pain. I'm a Trailblazer fan myself. I'm sure you are aware of the rivalry there. I usually don't talk smack about a team getting swept, but the way they (The Lakers) handled it was like a bunch of spoiled brats. Not very sporstman like or respectful to the other team IMO.

The Russians. That's why they showed a Canadian and Russian hockey player when they mentioned the rivalry. Dig?>> ^legacy0100:

Canada has a historic rivalry? CANADA??? Against who?

Like a lot of people have already said, college football is way more popular than the NFL (especially in the South where this game is). Plus, this is an in-state rivalry so it's guaranteed to be a MASSIVE event. For the whole state of Alabama, that game is pretty much the event of the year. It's really rare though for a college game to get a flyover so (since I saw some military guys) there may have been some memorial whatever honoring some soldiers. The Auburn stadium holds close to 90,000 people and will generally sell out almost every Saturday in the fall.

As an American who moved to Europe I would KILL to be at a game like that, even though I hate both those teams (Go Dawgs). If you grew up with it and it's a part of your culture, you just love it.

Racism is just the mindset of 95% of the human race's natural tendancy. We divide by religion, race, territory, etc., so that the world's finate resources can be adequately divided by our own "groups" needs. Is nature correct or moral? Who knows, but it does dictate nearly everything we are.... just try not to ever have sex...
Natural tendancies.

Depressing point of view, but I agree that tribalism seems to be an innate tendency in humans.

I still want to strive for a future where it's more like sports rivalries rather than ethno-sectarian war.

We seem to be moving that direction in fits and starts, but right now we're definitely between starts...

I would have mistaken this for Technicolor if it was not for http://1000words.kodak.com/post/?ID=2982503

It seems like the two had a little rivalry going on with colour film but I imagine in the early days Technicolor was far more relevant for motion pictures. Technicolor was just starting to be used for actual films the same year this test reel was made.

I'm now quite curious to why Kodak did not bother pursuing this further. They were too busy with the still pictures market to care?

First off - congrats NR on a rare manifestation... Civil dialog. Here's hoping it becomes a habit rather than an exception.

there's a moral problem with military targeting civilian population centers.

Countries don't put production and infrastructure into "military-only zones". Fuel, electricity, steel, plastic, textiles, technology, computers, food, factories, manufacturing plants, and many other commodities are also critical military supplies. Action that effectively impacts the ability of a government to support a military by necessity will target civilian population centers.

We're looking for what amount to organized criminals operating within the borders of sovereign foreign nations. ...We're looking to stop a bunch of Timothy McVeighs in a country that doesn't really have any sort of governmental enforcement of law and order.

Hm - disagree on semantics. McVeigh was a radical that operated AGAINST the government he was within. Terror groups recruit locally by playing on local prejudices, but their heart and soul (and wallet) belong to some other nation. Case in point with the 9/11 bombers. A more accurate comparison would be your second one, where you hypothesized what a foreign government would do if McVeigh blew up their buildings - let's say Saddam's palace. If TMcV did that then the U.S. would have said, "Oh - terrible tragedy... We condemn it utterly..." but behind closed doors they'd pop champaign and maybe sponsor other radical groups in the hopes of getting a few more TMcVs to crop up.

The use of these kinds of 'plausible deniability' terror-ops forces is becoming more and more common. They can't do large-scale damage without nukes (thank goodness) in most areas. However, in Arab nations there are so many tribal rivalries and bad blood that they can do more than just commit random atrocities. They can topple nations, and win wars. And even in the U.S. they did billions in damage and killed thousands. My opinion is when nations in any way support these radicals they are culpable and have no right or expectation of immunity from a response.

Because SOMEONE wanted to be Obtuse about it...

" The Oedipus complex, in psychoanalytic theory, is a group of largely unconscious (dynamically repressed) ideas and feelings which concentrate on the desire to possess the parent of the opposite sex and eliminate the parent of the same sex.[1][2] According to classical psychoanalytic theory, the complex appears during the so-called "oedipal phase" of libidinal and ego development; i.e. between the ages of three and five years, though oedipal manifestation may be detected earlier.[3][4]

The complex is named after Greek mythical character Oedipus, who (albeit unknowingly) kills his father, Laius and marries his mother, Jocasta. According to Sigmund Freud, the Oedipus complex is a common phenomenon, built in phylogenetically, and is responsible for much unconscious guilt. The Oedipus complex, as Freud put it:
“ His destiny moves us only because it might have been ours – because the oracle laid the same curse upon us before our birth as upon him. It is the fate of all of us, perhaps, to direct our first sexual impulse towards our mother and our first hatred and our first murderous wish against our father. Our dreams convince us that this is so.[5] ”

Classical theory considers the successful resolution of the Oedipus complex to be developmentally desirable, the key to the development of sexual roles and identity. Freud posited that boys and girls resolved the conflicts differently as a result of the male's castration anxiety (caused by oedipal rivalry with the father) and the female's penis envy. He also held that the unsuccessful resolution of the Oedipus complex could result in neurosis, paedophilia, and homosexuality.

Classical theory holds that "resolution" of the Oedipus complex takes place through identification with the parent of the same sex and (partial) temporary renunciation of the parent of the opposite sex; the opposite-sex parent is then "rediscovered" as the growing person's adult sexual object.

In classical theory, people who are fixated at the oedipal level are "mother-fixated" or "father-fixated", and reveal this by choosing sexual partners who are discernible surrogates for their parent(s)."
