Sarah Palin will never be Joe Biden. Ah ha ha ha haaaa.

This little lady has you libs scared shitless and she's nowhere near peaking.

While you sneer at her, the liberal bullshit schemes are unraveling. The smokescreens are failing, the Teleprompters are stuttering. As the economy continues to fail the Messiah's ratings are starting to fall. The bullshit communism that has never worked anywhere isn't working now, as predicted.

Uh oh!

This video must stay, it's going to become part of *history. This has become the symbol of a fledgling revolution in Iran that is either going to unravel the existing order, or get brutally crushed in front of our eyes.

I don't care whose copy gets kept, so long as a copy does indeed get kept.

I was expecting people to cry dupe, not "inappropriate".

This is what the Republican Party is trying to portray their position as, as wounded heroes, and this is why people get pissed off.

Your patriotic "suffering" is nothing like what it could (or even should) be.

Amazing footage. Those are real heroes, and they're from a world of nations, not just one.

Google how to stand at attention, and give these men proper respect while watching the video.

Shell shock is from being so god damn close to explosions, your brain starts to unravel at a physical level... and is still a danger faced by soldiers today.

Human’s mind really is very creative that can even believe in unusual things. The story began with a July 23, 2008 article in a local newspaper, The Independent. Jenna Hewitt, 26, of Montauk, and three friends said they found the creature on July 12 at the Ditch Plains beach, two miles east of the district. The beach is a popular surfing spot at Rheinstein Estate Park owned by the town of East Hampton. And now, the Montauk Monster is starting to make headlines. If you haven't heard about it, don't worry, but the Montauk Monster is a carcass that appeared on the beach of Long Island, New York. It defies classification, as it looks like no animal known to science, and a lot of people would give installment loans to figure out what it is. It washed up not too far away from Plum Island, AKA Anthrax Island, an uninhabited isle home to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, a known animal testing facility. The corpse is thought to be a hoax, but some insist its real, or Amy Winehouse sunbathing. Still, many would pull out credit cards to unravel the Montauk Monster mystery.

I'm currently reading "Misquoting Jesus" by Bart Ehrman. These apologists should talk w/ this guy.



Personally for me, it started with the bible itself. Once you realize that Bible is a human book and not inspired divinely from God then the fabric of the religion begins to unravel. With these apologists, start w/ the "infallible" scriptures.

If a Christian is intellectually honest he will, after further study as Ehrman did, relent to agnosticism. If not then you are basing your entire life on fantasy, myth and your feelings.

too bad a gram costs $50 in Japan. And you can get up to 5 years for it. It's funny how big of a deal it is when a college student gets caught with it. It is literally front page news here. People here think it's some sort of epidemic and that the very fabric of Japanese culture is unraveling. And of course, if a Japanese person gets caught with it, they say they bought it from a foreigner. And that is just bullshit. Who supplies it to the county? The Yakuza, and they are untouchable. My point is-if some countries still have a backward view of marijuana, then it does not seem possible in my eyes to have medical marijuana available outside of the States. I really am a supporter of medical marijuana (and recreation use) it helps cancer patients keep their food down after the Chemo and has many other benefits as he described here. Go weed!

>> ^MINK:
^and here unravels the "transparency" dream, who watches the watchers, etc etc.
don't worry this problem is only about 100000 years old.


Yeah, it was the major flaw in Plato's Republic.

I agree with MINK. I'm probably not as outraged, but the whole thing seems like it deserves an explanation at least. More minor things have been given a talk post, so why shouldn't this? What is going on with this hobbling stuff?

^and here unravels the "transparency" dream, who watches the watchers, etc etc.

I watched this whole episode. Not for the ADD crowd, even the moderator couldn't follow the economic guy.

Really what u have is one Professor of Psychology, who was able to sit down with an unique troll who can unravel financial instruments and see these instruments as the paper-thin fragile self-destructive bombs that can't survive in the real world.

The troll was able to incorporated the Professors psychological explanations of why peeople take absurd risks. That's the whole hourlong presentation if you can follow it

The U.S. judicial system is broken. The U.S.A. incarcerates more people than any nation per capita, surpassing China and The Soviet Union. The onset of all anti-drug laws in this country stem from racism and profit; i.e opium in California and marijuana in the deep South.
Nixon made drugs Public Enemy #1 in an effort to hoodwink the population from focusing on Vietnam. The 80s saw a drastic increase in resources to combat a ghost problem. Minimum mandatory sentencing and three-strike laws ushered in the prison-industrial complex nation we live in today. Fortunately, minimum mandatory sentencing and three-strike laws are unraveling.
The waste of money to incarcerate non-violent drug offenders is staggering and shameful. Something must be done hastily.

I'm with Kucinich on this bailout. I'm also in full agreement with the idea that the American auto companies need a huge wake-up call -- but if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not watch the big three unravel right when the economy is as unhealthy as I've ever seen it.

I don't think the Wall Street one was a good idea. I think something needed done, and something big, I just think the form it took, and the way it was handled was typically Bushian -- cling to ideology first, political maneuvering second, paying off friends in the industry third, and if there's time and money left over after servicing those, let's see if we can make a dent in the actual problem we're supposed to be solving.

From what I've read, Dems basically submitted to every one of Bush's demands in order to get him to not veto the bailout bill. That means this one is likely to be filled with bullshit landmines entirely designed to a) prevent the plan from working b) set back environmental and labor issues Democrats care about, and c) give congressional Republicans a chance to stand in opposition to a plan that Bush and Democrats agree on.

If I were just as evil as the average Republican representative, for political purposes I'd pray the Republicans block the damn thing, despite Bush ineffectually trying to convince them to vote for it. Then I'd have the Democrats say "call us when you grow up", and put the House and Senate on recess until Jan 20th. Then have them hit the talk show circuit to loudly gripe about how they tried their best to save the auto industry, but the Republicans stopped them from acting, and that they'll try again when they have more votes and a responsible President.

Part of me hopes that's how it'll play out...but I'd be really uncomfortable leaving things at an impasse like that, because I don't know that GM and Chrysler would make it, and I know their dying would not be good for the country.

I don't get the sense that Republicans give a shit about what's good for the country. If anything, they seem to actively want the American auto companies to die, and the Democrat-supporting UAW with it, impact on regular people and the economy be damned.

^ Deregulation is only one step in unraveling a tangled web of government intervention. The REAL problem is the banks were forced not to discriminate against poor black males with no ability to repay loans. Deregulation made it possible for the banks to transfer huge amounts of bad assets to the capital markets a large. You are confusing the problem with assuming that "deregulation" of banks were the only regulations that mattered. This is a classic example of one bad law, needed 2 more to make up for it. Then you need 2 more laws to make up for the bad laws that made up for the one law...its a spiral. When governments tell you and me what to buy, what to eat, how to think, and what to consume, it results in tyranny and oppression. Free market isn't perfect, you will never have a perfect system. But what you can seek to achieve is a system that works the best for the most amount of people to achieve what they want for their lives. There are no other systems developed in practice around the world that do that more than free market economies.

There are plenty of Nobel prize winners on both sides of the argument, so naming one or the other isn't really a valid objection to this claim.

Admittedly, but I can't help it. CaptainPlanet420 fascinates me.

CaptainPlanet downvotes any and all Sagan. I'm not sure why. Is it in fact the way he dresses? I gotta say his turtlenecks are fabulous. He's mentioned his voice as being an irritant. I think that to most people's ears it's very soothing, as evidenced by his popularity. Has the Captain had some kind of traumatic personal experience associated with Sagan? Only he could say.

I've come to think that the thing CP dislikes about Sagan so much is that he has popularized rational thought, bought enlightenment into the living room and chased away the darkness that so many nefarious agents use to hide their agendas. If the people learn to think, then their influence begins to unravel, because their control is based on superstition, fear, and ignorance.
