quantumushroomA nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.
--Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman Orator, statesman, 42 B.C.
Obama: Is he a citizen?
legacy0100You know... towards the second golden years of Roman Empire (not the republic age), most Emperors of Rome (particularly the 5 good emperors) were of non-native descent, meaning born and raised outside of Italia.
Trajanus - Born Southern Spain
Hadrianus - Born Southern Spain
Antonius Pius - Born Southern France
Marcus Aurelius - son of Praetor, Spanish descent
Pertinax - Son of Freed slave, Gaellic descent.
Septimius Severus - Born in Lybia
Caracalla - Born in France
etc etc...
Also interesting to note that in their books, famous historians like Gibbon and Machiavelli argued that succession of power by blood was the the mark of Roman empire's downfall (*COUGH BUSH COUGH*)

The Difference Between Democrats and Republicans - TED
chilaxeRe: free will.
His definition of innateness seemed very reasonable to me: "the 'first draft' of the moral mind." It seems to leave plenty of room for free will:
So I don't think the concern is well-founded, but even if it was, it seems to me like a "moralistic fallacy:" 'if it's bad (undermines democracy), it's not true.'
The enlightenment assumption is that 'the truth is always best,' and I advocate that to people across the political spectrum equally.

Confrontation - Damian Marley
evil_disco_manLyrics:
Mr. President, Distinguished delegates...
[H.I.M. Haile Selassie I dialect]
[Bunny Wailer dialogue]
Since the beginning of modern civilization
Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars
But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride
Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of ONE LOVE
Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.
Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars...SELAH!
[Verse 1]
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
And propoganda spreading inna the sunday papers not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze ya
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed cause
inna dem churches tryin to save...saviours
[Marcus Garvey dialogue 1]
Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it!
[Verse 2]
Boom!
Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling out
Only few men survive crawling out
Run left him collegues dem sprawling out
NEARLY DEAD!
Medic haffi haul him out
And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out
DEH PON BASE!
Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week
Him mistress find a new shoes
Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt
SHE STILL SEARCHING!
And the youth dem bawling out
Working hard not to let it all come out
Well it's not safe to go walk about
A slaughterhouse from Bagdad to Waterhouse
She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse
She start go out, start beat a darker stout
GUNS COME OUT!
Working people funds run out
Keep a show last week and no one come out
BOMBS COME OUT!
Mi gas tank just run out
BOMBO CLATT!
The scotch tape just run out
WEED RUN OUT!
Yuh senses must dumb out, Mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 2]
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will die.
You race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for nothings
If you cannot do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall die.
[Repeat Verse 1]
[Verse 3]
SEE IT DEH NOW...Hey!
Now wi fore parents sacrifice enough
Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
Any day a revolution might erupt, and the skys over Kingston lighting up
For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up
And through reasoning dem biding up,
Searching for the sign and the sign is us,
Searching for the truth all you find is us,
Searching for the troops still behind is us,
The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
We build like roach building boot
Weh just can't done, Rastafari we design tuff
If a the fight for freedom sign me up
Cause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me up
Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us
Realizing there's no use fighting us
Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us
So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up,and who...
Calling the shots and nah bust none
Controlling the mind of the young, bring down...
Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall
All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church IN WAR
Preaching and researching WAR
Practice and rehearsing WAR
Teaching and dem learning WAR
Instigating and urging WAR
Always keep alert in WAR
Cause man will jump out a swerving car
Now bees and birds IN WAR
And the freaks and nerds IN WAR
And the straight and curves IN WAR
Forward and reverse IN WAR
RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED.

Zero Punctuation Review: Halo 3

Bad Boys 2 Reggie Scene: How to answer the door to your date
quantumushroomThere is an ugly scene in "Bad Boys II" that I want to tell you about. A cop played by Martin Lawrence is alarmed that his 15-year-old daughter is going out on her first date. We see the girl, pretty and hopeful in her new dress, being fussed over by her mother. The doorbell rings, and Lawrence opens it to confront her date, a nervous 15-year-old boy, tall and thin, neatly dressed.
Marcus and his partner (Will Smith) intimidate the boy without mercy. He is threatened with the unspeakable if he lays a hand on the girl. They demand to know if he is a virgin. They slap him with the N-word. At one point a gun is pulled on him. "Ever had sex with a man?" Smith asks. Then with a leer: "Want to?" The boy is terrified.
The needless cruelty of this scene took me out of the movie and into the minds of its makers. What were they thinking? Have they so lost touch with human nature that they think audiences will like this scene? Do they think it's funny? Did the actors voice any objections? It's the job of the producer to keep a film on track; did Jerry Bruckheimer notice anything distasteful? Or is it possible that everyone connected with the film has become so desensitized by the relentless cynical aggression of movies like this that the scene passed without comment?
---Roger Ebert; Bad Boys II review July 18, 2003
Guns, Germs & Steel - Why Eurasia Has Dominated the Globe
legacy0100I think scottishmartialarts does have a point. Politics and just sheer chance of luck in history plays a big part of outcomes of civilization.
USA could've bombed China with atomic blast during Korean war, but Truman thought Macarthur was bit nuts for thinking that. Now they're on the biggest economic rebound modern history has ever seen, armed with the latest western technology.
Same thing with Rome vs Egypt back in the days of Octavian vs Marcus Antonius. Rome produced less food than Egypt at that time, heavily relying on Sicily to feed the gigantic city of Rome. Rome and Alexandria were at the same level both technologically and population wise. But Octavian wins, and Latins dominate the Mediterranean sea.
Perhaps ultimately because they had a better and more effective military tradition (culture factor) than Alexandrians of Egypt or even the Carthaginians long ago, who also produced more food than Romans, enough so that they were able to make rich and buy mercenaries from other areas to fight their battles for them.
But what Diamond speaks of is about the beginning of civilization and why we have ended up with such drastically different lifestyles. I do think he has a point there.
And I especially agree with this three points:
1. A community requires easy means to produce high energy yielding food to sustain large population.
2. High population & density is always a must to achieve technological innovation and germ immunity.
3. Society with high germ immunity and technological advancement gets to dominate other cultures.
BUT
All 1st, 2nd and 3rd points can be overcome with: constant Trading and Politics between communities.
CNN panel discussion slandering atheists!
rickegeewell said, Kraz.
Anything by Marcus Borg is worthwhile to read in that his works highlight the varieties of Christian experience (particularly Progressive Christianity or Christian skepticism).
I still do not know how to solve the conundrum of Muslim atheism, but I am not a philosopher or a pundit. I suppose you can just tell them to SHUT UP per this clip. But we must be cognizant of the fact that it is just as easy to be a fundamentalist atheist as it is to be a fundamentalist Christian or Muslim.
Hilarious Holiday Inn commercial - "Cagefighter"
brendotroy says...shoot, they cut off the end, where Marcus says (referring to Ted, the "cagefighter"), "He's a *bad* man." Hence the tag.
These guys just crack me up.
