From dictionary.com

fas⋅cism  [fash-iz-uhm] Show IPA
–noun
1. (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) the philosophy, principles, or methods of fascism.
3. (initial capital letter) a fascist movement, esp. the one established by Mussolini in Italy 1922–43.

Also, from their cultural dictionary.

fascism [(fash-iz-uhm)]

A system of government that flourished in Europe from the 1920s to the end of World War II. Germany under Adolf Hitler, Italy under Mussolini, and Spain under Franco were all fascist states. As a rule, fascist governments are dominated by a dictator, who usually possesses a magnetic personality, wears a showy uniform, and rallies his followers by mass parades; appeals to strident nationalism; and promotes suspicion or hatred of both foreigners and “impure” people within his own nation, such as the Jews in Germany. Although both communism and fascism are forms of totalitarianism, fascism does not demand state ownership of the means of production, nor is fascism committed to the achievement of economic equality. In theory, communism opposes the identification of government with a single charismatic leader (the “cult of personality”), which is the cornerstone of fascism. Whereas communists are considered left-wing, fascists are usually described as right-wing.

So you see Winfeld - as much as you will try to whine about nazi's being left-wing, you're wrong. Keep whining though, if it makes you feel better.

Love the Ani DiFranco video. BTW, you can remove the "Long" tag, because you only use it for videos over 10 minutes in length. And her last name is spelled "DiFranco." </anal>

*googles james franco*

Harry Osborn! well he definitely knows how to play brooding, but he looks much too wholesome, i think... Crake would need to be skinnier, more asbergers-y, imho, compound-raised, chemically tranquilized... Dexter minus 10 years?

for snowman, I think it should be someone with an atmosphere of potential greatness, but fragile, and a wide range of looks, like a groomed ad-industry chameleon who loses his sense of self with the apocalypse, and devolves into a bearded hermit. Adrien Brody minus 10 years?

I think I pictured James Franco as Crake for some reason. And me for Snowman - seriously look at that bearded under-achiever visage in my profile. You could paint some children blue for the crakers.

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

In reply to this comment by Crake:
I'm not sure what to respond to that, having related so heavily to Crake... hmmm... i don't know who would make a good crake though... I suppose it would depend on who played Snowman. and Oryx (Shannyn Sossammon? except she doesn't act very well).

Also, the dancing, indigo-penised crakers would definitely never make it to film.

In reply to this comment by dag:
He would make a good Crake. I'd love to see a movie version - even though they'd have a hard time doing it justice.

Well I can never help relating to the young brooding villain.

Except if he's played by Hayden Christensen.

@KP: Me? Sure, I am decent . It’s just that if you take the sex out of objectifying these beautiful bodies, it feels so ... nazi?

@MINK: Agreed, synch swim is Not a Serious Sport.

@NR: are you sure they're both 16 and is that a legal age in their respective countries ?

And what about the new Olympic hottie: Leryn Franco? (yes, sirs, you can google her yourself)

so apparently, James Franco's brother is a friend of a friend. So there's a bit of weight for me to upvote. Eh, why not.

Don't sweat it, doogle, I was really just joking around. Plus, I guess that Cop Land video isn't quite as awesome as I thought, seeing as how it hasn't gotten any votes since yesterday.

In reply to this comment by doogle:
There's another upvote k?
Wasn't because you put it up, cuz I don't pay attention to the usernames, but you have me all fixated to make sure you know.

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radio-active sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! no!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an am when theres always a could?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea
Outside of California, its foreign policy

I dont want changes, I have no reactions
Your dilemmas are my distractions

Thats no way to go, franco un-american
No way to go, franco un-american
No way to go, franco un-american
No way to go, franco, franco un-american

I never looked around, never second-guessed
Then I read some howard zinn now Im always depressed
And now I cant sleep from years of apathy
All because I read a little noam chomsky

Im eating vegetation, cause of fast food nation
Im wearing a couple of shoes cause of globalization
Im watching michael moore expose the awful truth
Im listening to public enemy and reagan youth

I see no world peace cause of zealous armed forces
I eat no breath-mints cause their from de-hoofed horses
Now I cant believe; what an absolute failure
The presidents laughing cause we voted for nader

Thats no way to go, franco un-american
No way to go, franco un-american
No way to go, franco un-american
Where can we go, franco un-american

I want to move north and be a canadian
Or hang down low with the nice australians
I dont want to be another i-dont-care-ican
What are we gonna do franco, franco un-american

I could make no sense out of these people. For someone who has seen a parellel universe, he sure had a disapointing and utterly terrible analogy.....7....dice...apple bitting....reversing spin. Either this vid was edited to shit or these "scientist" are ape shit mad. Also, seems to me if there was testable proof of the existance of parallel universes there would be nerds looting universities trying to be the first to unlock the potential of this new discovery. The fact that the majority of the community are neysayers in this makes me very very skeptical. Especially considering that there is so called actual proof of its existance. Why so many doubters of Franco's results? I say this field is an act of mental masturbation...when their done investing their time in it, they will have nothing to show for it. Just like posting comments....bullshit

1. These guys aren't scientists of any description whatsoever and I don't know what they're doing on any Science Channel. - Irishman

Franco Wong - Dr. Franco N.C. Wong is a principal investigator in the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Max Tegmark - is a Swedish-American cosmologist. Tegmark is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he belongs to the scientific directorate of the Foundational Questions Institute.
Seth Lloyd - is a Professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, and he has made contributions to the field of quantum computation and proposed a design for a quantum computer.

So unless MIT is some fly-by-night operation handing out jobs to any lunatic off the street, I believe you are mistaken.

2. It absolutely, categorically, scientifically does NOT contain one single piece of experimental data to back up the claims. - Irishman

Did you not see Dr. Wong experimenting with lasers and splitting photons, or do you think that was all for show? I'm sure they just let him shoot lasers all day without presenting any data.

3. Is this now the level of the VS Science Channel? - Irishman

If you're so dismayed by the quality of science sifts here, I don't believe anyone's created a ScienceSift.com web site yet. Don't let me stand in the way of your greatness.

4. [T]hen add a presentation that claim that some crazy scientists idea is fact, without having any real proof. - Bovan

See Points #1 and #2

5. 50 million people voted for Bush - twice. It doesn't mean he's a good president. - jonny

You're right. 74 upvotes don't guarantee quality whatsoever, nor was I trying to imply that. However when you call a video "crap", then you're strongly suggesting that 74 people like crap. Though 50 million people voted for Bush, TWICE, I'm not prepared to call all 50 million of them retards. It's just not my style to insult huge swathes of population like that. Maybe I'm too sensitive.

6. This is bullshit. - Mycrofthomlz

As with jonny's original remark, I downvoted your comment. If you'll check, I didn't downvote Irishman's first comment, because at least he offered some explanation, and I even upvoted sineral's and neuralnoise's comments because they at least attempt to justify their opinions. If I want "This is bullshit" comments I can go directly to YouTube. Maybe these guys are all full of it, as I don't have the background in physics to properly question them. However I don't think they're loons who have no idea what they're talking about either.

So is what they're saying "bullshit", or is this video's presentation of the material "bullshit", or what? I mean YOU'RE the scientist. When you attend a symposium is that how you refute someone's hypothesis or research?

I don't expect a treatise, but more than "This is bullshit" would be nice, especially since we allegedly pride ourselves on thoughtful discourse here. Otherwise I would just prefer that you downvote and then walk away. Where is your downvote, BTW? Please do it. That will not offend me. Insulting comments do.

***I am no saint. I also sometimes write things I shouldn't. Please downvote my comments when I do so.***

coincidence that the cat's name is the same as the star of his most successful film? i think not.

(Franco is a friend of a friend -- and I heard he was a bit of a prick)

Here are just 4 of my favorite William F. Buckley Quotes:

"Franco is a part, and an integral part, of Western civilization... [the] convergence of the multifarious political philosophical, religious, and cultural tendencies that have shaped Spanish history... the man to whom the Spanish people look--as the Chinese have looked to Chiang [Kaishek], for all his faults--for leadership."--William F. Buckley, National Review, March 9, 1957

"General Franco is an authentic national hero... [with the] talents, the perseverance, and the sense of the righteousness of his cause, that were required to wrest Spain from the hands of the visionaries, ideologues, Marxists, and nihilists that were imposing... a regime so grotesque as to do violence to the Spanish soul, to deny, even, Spain's historical destiny. He saved the day.... The need was imperative... for a national policy [to]... make this concession to Churchill this morning, that one to Hitler this afternoon.... Franco reigns... supreme. He is not an oppressive dictator.... only as oppressive as is necessary to maintain total power..."--William F. Buckley, National Review, October 26, 1957

"The central question that emerges... is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas where it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes--the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race." --William F. Buckley, National Review, August 24, 1957

"He was a prophet...McCarthy's record is... not only much better than his critics allege, but, given his metier, extremely good...he should not be remembered as the man who didn't produce 57 Communist Party cards but as the man who brought public pressure to bear on the State Department to revise its practices and to eliminate from responsible positions flagrant security risks"--William F. Buckley in his book McCarthy and his Enemies


William F. Buckley: friend to fascists and segregationists everywhere.
