Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry Debate Catholics
lol the intros lookled like a Monty Python sketch, and wow, for the first time in a while Hitchens didn't look like he just woke up from a 3 day drunk.
The catholic church is irrelevant as a force for anything in the world. It's a banal social club that meets for 30-45 minutes once a week, whose members disregard whatever wisdom they may have heard as soon as they walk out the door.
Rep. Todd Akin fails the pledge of allegiance
>> ^entr0py:
but I do distinctly remember being offended and irritated by the pledge, even when no one around me questioned or criticized it.
Same here.
Interesting stuff about the salutes.
As i recall, impassioned rhetoric for "one nation (reich) under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." made up a good portion of Hitler's Nuremberg Rally speech at the end of the "Triumph of the Will" propaganda film.
Google Navigation = Death of GPS Makers
>> ^Xax:
The App Store is a big reason to go with an iPhone. I've been thinking about getting one sometime in the next few months, but this video has given me pause... I'm not overly familiar with Android phones, and now I'm going to have to look into them before making my decision.
Since the new Motorola Droid from Verizon runs the open source Android OS there are/will be tons of apps.
Maybe someone will eventually come up with a simple sdk so you can create your own.
Dennis Kucinich Raises a Valid Point on Health Care
>> ^quantumushroom:
The first priority of any nation is to defend itself from invaders.
You mean The Invaders ?
dude you been watching too much V.
If you get the joke in this, it probably means you are old
pfft, old, my first was an acoustic coupled 300 Baud modem like the one in the movie War Games. Ally Sheedy optional.
Fans Support Comedian Jimmy Carr Over Troop Joke
>> ^shole:
this unconditional worship of police and soldiers just needs to stop
Amen.
Missing appendage or not, you're no HERO just because you got stationed in some 4th world shithole.
The hard truth is, the overwhelming majority of current enlistees are high school dropouts and trailer park losers with no other option besides the military or Home Depot.
Glenn Beck Tragically Alive After Fatal Car Accident
we'll try harder next time.
Behind the Scenes of The Daily Show Going to Iran
Re: irony and sarcasm - had a similar experience in China, it surprised me that they 'got' ironic and sarcastic jokes. Radically different linguistics but apparently humor is more ancient and universal.
Obama to Critics: Grab a mop!
Here's hoping that health care reform will nclude Free Medical Marijuana! Wheee!
Obama Administration Issues New Medical Marijuana Policy
About time. Oakland is already prepping for an increase in applications for clubs and San Fran / San Jose likely will follow.
Next Step - as anyone who has dealt weed knows, the quick, simple, easy way to halt the deadly large scale illegal trade is to make it Legal.
Take the profit out of trade and you kill trade.
When people can buy a pack/box/bag/tin of WeedyBits at the local Safeway, no one's going to go to all the trouble of becoming Scarface.
Antichrist - Fox Scene (creeeepy)
>> ^Lowen:
Chaos Reigns is Fox News' new motto.
Nay nay, Fawks Nooz alignment is Lawful Evil not Chaotic Evil.
Their motto would more likely be along the lines of Italian Fascism's "Credere, Obbedire, Combattere " ("Believe, Obey, Fight")
Obama to Critics: Grab a mop!
what he wanted to say was Grab a Mop, Bitch!
US Soldier Exposes American Policy
He struck a chord. It resonates because it's the Truth.
Wait a couple more years and just as in Vietnam we'll start hearing about the disgusting level of atrocities, the =intentional= murder of innocents, that went on in Iraq.
In Vietnam they were called babykillers for a reason.
Mario Savio - "You gotta put your bodies upon the gears"
This sentiment lies smoldering just beneath the surface among the pissed off exploited minimum wage blue collar working class everywhere in this country. All it will take is a spark, someone with the backbone to Lead, to ignite another 60's style cultural revolution firestorm. Burn baby burn.
End-of-the-world cloud formation over Moscow
What would be apocalyptic (and pretty damn cool) is if these formations appeared
-simultaneously- over all the major cities of the world.
But they didn't.
And 2012 will come and go just like every other year.
