GenjiKilpatrick says...

I live in georgia.

On Dec 16th, 1997 the first year that I lived here. It was about 41 degrees outside.

Effin' cold.

On Dec 16th, 2011 last week. It was 72 degrees.

JEsus most be making it slowly warmer ever winter. You know, until he turns the entire southeast into a lake of fire for all the homo sinning that went on last night.. in that lesbian club I was at.

The warming alarmists have gone from doctoring data to preachin' propaganda though a children's cartoon? That's about right.

The "One Album Per Sifter" Quest (Rocknroll Talk Post)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

The Whitlams are playing a free concert here in Canberra on New Year's Eve. We'll be there.>> ^spoco2:

Eternal Nightcap by The Whitlams. Just a defining album from 1997. I hadn't really heard of them at all... then I saw them play at my university, and was blown away. Usually I find it a little hard to get into a live act if I've never heard the music before. But they were just awesome. I got hold of the album and played it constantly... know most of the words to the entire album I would think.

The big track off it, in Australia was No Aphrodisiac, an absolute classic:
Track 1: No Aphrodisiac

Followed by one of the three 'Charlie' songs from the album... just beautiful:
Track 2: Buy now Pay Later (Charlie No. 2)

Track 4 is one of the singles they released, a real energy packed song... great stuff:
Track 4: You sound like Louis Burdett

The whole album is one to listen to from beginning to end, it's well and truly engrained in so many Australian's minds, and evokes that year and surrounding ones with such clarity.
Awesome album

TYT - Top Republican Spin Doctor Scared of Occupy

Between 1997 and 2008, median U.S. household income fell by 4 percent after adjustment for inflation. It presumably did not rise in 2009, and may not in 2010 either. A median is not an average; average income rose because the incomes of high earners rose, and so the effect was to increase the inequality of the income distribution.
*****************

Never mind losing their job, or their house. It's hard to live the American dream when you're unemployed and facing being homeless...

You can understand why the working class are getting pissed and the republicans are scared shitless about it. And holdouts like QM, with his quaint little almost racial slurs and real bad ass insults (occupoopers... lol, what are you, 6? Or is that your IQ?), are just a pebble before the avalanche. Europe goes under and the US slides back in to recession, you may well see a decent reenactment of the French revolution on Wall St.

a message to all neocons who booed ron paul

ghark says...

That list of American crimes in the video is just the beginning, America's assassination of the democratically elected Prime Minister of Congo in 1960 and subsequent installation of a dictator (Mobutu) has led to countless millions of deaths. Just in the decade between 1998-2008 there were 5.4 million deaths from Malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition.

"Most of the deaths are due to easily treatable and preventable diseases through the collapse of health systems and the disruption of livelihoods,"

from http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/01/22/us-congo-democratic-death-idUSL2280201220080122

These figures also don't shed light on the fact that the Congo is the rape capital of the world, and the absolute greed of Mobutu (when he was alive) - "Besides what Mobutu siphoned off and stole, he paid himself generously. His personal salary was 17% of the state budget. By 1989, he officially received $100 million a year to spend as he wished, more than the government spent on education, health and social services combined."

Why Are You Atheists So Angry? - Greta Christina

shinyblurry says...

It's natural that atheists proselytize, because atheism is a religion:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/6034949/Atheism-Is-Protected-As-a-Religion-says-Court-

It has its own creation story:

"Thus, a century ago, [it was] Darwinism against Christian orthodoxy. To-day the tables are turned. The modified, but still characteristically Darwinian theory has itself become an orthodoxy, preached by its adherents with religious fervour, and doubted, they feel, only by a few muddlers imperfect in scientific faith."

Grene, Marjorie [Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of California, Davis], "The Faith of Darwinism," Encounter, Vol. 74, November 1959, pp.48-56, p.49

with its own miracles:

"Time is, in fact, the hero of the plot... given so much time the 'impossible' becomes possible, the possible probable and the probable virtually certain. One has only to wait: time itself performs miracles."
George Wald, "The Origin of Life," Physics and Chemistry of Life, 1955, p. 12.

In which its adherants have total faith:

I have faith and belief myself... I believe that nothing beyond those natural laws is needed. I have no evidence for this. It is simply what I have faith in and what I believe.

Isaac Asimov
Counting the Eons P.10

I do not want to believe in God, therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible: spontaneous generation arising to evolution

George Wald - Harvard Professor
Nobel Laureate

They believe it even in the face of contradicting evidence

Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed but rather evolved.

Francis Crick Nobel Laureate
What Mad Pursuit p.138 1988

Much evidence can be adduced in favor of the Theory of Evolution from Biology, Biogeography, and Paleontology, but I still think that to the unprejudiced the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation.

EJH Cornor, Cambridge
Contemporary Botanical Thought p.61

It provides a comprehensive belief system:

Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideaology, a secular religion- a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with its meaning and morality...

Michael Ruse Florida State University
National Post 5/13/00

Atheists know they are right no matter what:

No evidence would be sufficient to create a change in mind; that it is not a commitment to evidence, but a commitment to naturalism. ...Because there are no alternatives, we would almost have to accept natural selection as the explanation of life on this planet even if there were no evidence for it.

Steven Pinker MIT
How the mind works p.182

Even if they have to suppress the truth to prove it:

"Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."

Lewontin, Richard C. [Professor of Zoology and Biology, Harvard University], "Billions and Billions of Demons", Review of "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark," by Carl Sagan, New York Review, January 9, 1997. (Emphasis in original)

"In fact the a priori reasoning is so entirely satisfactory to me that if the facts won't fit in, why so much the worse for the facts is my feeling."

Erasmus Darwin, in a letter to his brother Charles, after reading his new book, "The Origin of Species," in Darwin, F., ed., "The Life of Charles Darwin," [1902], Senate: London, 1995, reprint, p215.

They are true believers:

of all choices, atheism requires the greatest faith, as it demands that ones limited store of human knowledge is sufficient to exclude the possibility of God.

Boeing 767 - Emergency Landing With No Landing Gear

GeeSussFreeK says...

>> ^ReverendTed:

>> ^Powel6016:
These planes are 20+ years old. LOT needs new planes. Flew with LOT several times and its just ridiculous.
Just goes to show you, they don't build 'em like they used to.


The 767 has a far fewer deaths than its older cousin the 737. It isn't apples to apples, because they aren't the same class of plane, but the 737 has well over 3500+ fatalities, where as the 767 has about 500+. Its brother, the Narrow body 757, is over 700+ deaths in its run so far. The 737 is only a decade older, not enough to make up the death per year ratio of the 737. So in this case, thank god they don't make them like they used to. If you notice that in the ten latest crashes include a 737 and a 747. The 767 has had a bad rap ever since EgyptAir Flight 990, but it is a good hull if properly maintained. That being said, the plane in question was delivered to LOT on 15 May 1997, a very new plane in all respects.

7 biggest lies about the economy - Robert Reich

Nebosuke says...

Robert Reich has a little experience... "He served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997." I usually agree with his ideas and I especially think the idea of trickle-down economics to be a load of crap.

Steve Jobs Narrates 'The Crazy Ones Commercial (never aired)

Steve Jobs dies. His life in 60 seconds.

Ryjkyj says...

I'm not saying anything about Steve Jobs personally when I bring this up. But I find it a little ironic that all my friends who've been posting about the recent "occupy Wall Street" protests by pasting all the requisite "Anonymous" videos on Facebook, are now posting about how much they mourn the loss of this man.

This is a guy who, although openly receiving pay of just one dollar a year, was paid in stocks. His estimated worth was almost nine billion dollars. Yet one of this man's very first decisions upon returning to the board of Apple was to terminate, "...all of Apple's long-standing corporate philanthropy programs within weeks after returning to Apple in 1997, citing the need to cut costs until profitability rebounded. But the programs have never been restored."

Again, I have nothing personal against the guy, and I'm not speaking ill of the dead. I just think it's funny.

Such Hawks Such Hounds - "stoner" & heavy rock Documentary

shagen454 says...

My favorite 70's derived heavy album is from "Sounds of Animal Kingdom" by Brutal Truth from 1997. It was produced by Billy Anderson, you might not get that it's a 70's influenced album at first because it's noisy, it's grindy and it's fucking heavy. Smoke a lot of weed & relisten. It's a blend of rock, 70's rock, grind, doom, punk & noise. I always get the feeling that they had smoked shit tons of weed & watched a lot of old Japanese films. The engineer gave it a nice damp tape sound overall; not crisp & precise like most shitty heavy bands. They even do a Sun Ra cover.
