I think it's more about the terminology (just saying "military industrial complex" triggers reactions, despite the fact that it's really just a convenient term for describing a complex issue because of the negative meaning that has been put on the word), personal ideas of what is good/bad, and a whole lot of ignorance on the issue of America's (and other nations') acts abroad and the facts/results behind them as opposed to just the surface reasons and the outwards political debate. I mean, hey, you can get away with a lot of questionable acts (I consider forcing other nations into your web of "influence" and basically stripping them of the ability to control their own destiny via CIA and other such methods wrong, but since morals are human constructs, unless enough of us agree that it's wrong and force our government to change its ways, those who make their own reasoning as to why it's okay will continue to do so) if you do them within the framework of an generally accepted "good" act. Different paradigms paint different realities, all you can do for people is try to point them to literature and info that can help them get over misinformation and hope their personal views do in fact align more with yours once they know more.

I still don't use a smartphone, but that app looks like it could be pretty amusing to play with for sure.

As for music, I've got a broken finger on my left hand that's gotta be in a cast for three more weeks, so it's somewhat on hold, but I need a reliable lead guitarist eventually and this gives me more time to look for one before i start trying to play shows. Got a short 30 minute set scheduled for mid-late May on campus, so that's something I'm really looking forward to. I've finally settled completely on trying to go for it with music, so after I graduate things will be pretty busy with that, but that's what I love doing, so hopefully I can find a decent-paying job that won't interfere too much. We'll see, lol.

Ha. You know me, always against the wars and the military industrial complex. I guess I cannot say the same for everyone on here.

I've been good. Just finished an app for the android market. None too shabby. https://market.android.com/details?id=air.plinty.mulletizerfull

How's the music going?

Yeah, try watching these shitty CNN embeds if you're running the flash debug player (which I do as I code in Flex), it errors every time you start a video, great work dickheads.

And yes, inane comment ahoy regarding the rainbow.

*dupeof=me

See how I made it a *invocation joke, which has only been done here 475,000 times before? It's that 475,001st time that knocks 'em dead.

Okay, you can touch my wiener now. >> ^blankfist:

>> ^kronosposeidon:
It doesn't work for me, or any of my sockpuppets. Have you tried it with your sockpuppets? Maybe you'll have better luck than me.
Also, you're stupid. >> ^blankfist:
Also, anyone else having problems with the VideoSift embedable player? They won't post for me.


If by sockpuppet you're speaking about the time when you put that sock on your winkie and called it Captain Nimoy Ahoy, then, no, I have not tried it and I plan not to. Last time you told me if I gave him a couple smacks he'd vomit, but it felt more like something wet and viscous under the sock which was indeed NOT vomit, sir.
There. I made a joke about being duped into jerking you off. Who's stupid now?!
