The irony in this is that this person accuses of lgf of profiting off of divisiveness when in actuality it profits off of those who oppose terrorism and this one post is profiting off of hating people for practicing their freedom of speech. One is legit, the other is the rant of some random idiot.

Twitter 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous digging.
Or to take arms against a sea of bloggers,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

No more; and by a dig to say we end
the heart-ache and the thousand natural digs
That flesh is heir to, "tis a diggumation
devoutly to be wish'd. To die. To dig.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against an Algerian convicted of conspiring to detonate explosives at Los Angeles International Airport during the millenium holiday travel rush.

In its 8-1 decision, the court upheld Ahmed Ressam's conviction on an explosives charge, one of nine convictions that resulted in a 22-year prison sentence. At issue was whether Ressam should be convicted of carrying explosives during the commission of another serious crime, in Ressam's case, lying on a U.S. Customs form when he crossed the border in December 1999.

Many years ago I was in Tehran -- don't ask -- and I saw women in chador standing in the long, gutter-like sanitation drain. Just standing there. When I looked closer, I could see a little trickle of water emerging underneath their long gowns.

They just stood as if nothing was happening.

re: #103 Sarge1984

I think this is the first peeing thread I've seen on here...

On that subject:

6:28 p.m. A man who complained that he’d been assaulted and his backpack stolen at an I Street store was no day at the beach himself, with his mohawk hairdo, blue trench coat and verbally abusive comments. He wasn’t helpful in resolving the complaint, and was asked to leave.

9:29 p.m. In the same parking lot, two booze-emboldened men harassed passing women, setting a bad example for their canine companion. Then they wandered on.

9:33 p.m. Maybe it was the same free-lance theoretical physicists, who, just minutes later, performed practical experimentation with fluid dynamics against the wall of an antiquarian bookstore in the 1000 block of H Street.

Heh.

re: #187 MandyManners

One related point from Richard Landes (in the books spinoff link above).

"This absolutizing of cultural diversity, in which any criticism of another culture’s values becomes a form of racism is one of the great failures of “progressive” thought, and I do think a significant role can be attributed to Edward Said’s Orientalism in which any form of “othering” is a form of racism. This is particularly true of any discussion of honor-shame culture, which in turn makes any condemnation of honor-killing problematic. And, of course, since no progressive can possibly support honor-killings — especially feminists — it most often elicits a deafening silence."
194 zombie  Mon, May 19, 2008 10:04:06pm

OK, who's fluent in French idioms?

I just came into possession of a cute tea cup from France that has this phrase on it:

"Le plus fort l'emporte"

Direct literal translations ("The strongest carries it") don't exactly make sense. My best guess is that it is an idiomatic expression that means basically "The strongest prevail." It's a commemorative cup from the French bicentennial in 1989, so I suspect it was a famous Revolutionary slogan from 1789. Hmmm.

Anyway, hoping some native Francophone here can set me straight. My high-school French has failed me yet again.

One thing I've found that helps is to just get rid of the television.
It is good to have this place to come and vent, and discuss, and get news and opinion.

I have found life much improved without television. I still have one, for watching movies, and maybe some sports. I guess I'll watch the conventions and election returns on it too, but I really don't miss tv.

re: #200 x-ray

Freedom isn't free and the current crop of lefties will only sacrifice others too attain power.

I think that may be why they hate the military so much. Soldiers put their own lives on the line for their ideals. Leftists and Fascists brainwash others to die for their ideals.

The Citizen Soldier of a free nation is living proof that the ideology and worldview of the Leftist is wrong. The Leftist wants to believe that a soldier is an essentially mindless thug who robotically obeys their political masters regardless of the consequences. In fact it is the mindless thug that the Leftists (and parasites in general) needs in order to inflict their will upon their productive subjects.

The Soldier on the other hand must be actively conscious in order to survive on the battlefield and carry out his mission. Every one of them, from the individual rifleman to the commanding general must constantly perform the Boyd Cycle, the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act loop, as quickly as possible in the course of the conflict.

The Soldier, being mentally active as a virtue, can see through the reams of nonsense emitted by the Leftist demagogue. And is thus feared and hated by the Left in general.

The Thug on the other hand may be useful to the Leftist ruler but is utterly useless on the battlefield.

(BTW, I happen to agree with Dr. John Ray that Leftists and Fascists are essentially two versions of the same thing.)

It's about the T and V, but I suppose the same argument could be made about computers.

The argument for computer being like tv only goes so far though. I remember hearing about a study where parts of the brain were measured for use- one area of the brain was used for reading and radio, where another part was used for tv. Tv is more passive, where reading and radio were more stimulating, because the imagination has to be used to visualize what the brain is taking in. To that extent, computers are less like tv, and more like radio. But I suppose if you did nothing on your computer but watch videos from youtube, then yeah- the computer would be not much different than tv.

re: #242 CapeCoddah
Nope, good guess though - apparently in the late 1870's or maybe late 1890's a coal miner who's name was Bill Blizzard was working in a union coal mine in northwest West Virginia and had heard about all the deaths, injuries, company stores and shit going on in south east Virgina, where the Owners of the coal mines refused to allow workers to unionize. So he organized a "militia" of about 2,000 union coal miners to go down to the southeast part of the state with the idea of compelling Coal Mine owner's to allow unionization.
Said Coal Mine Owner's hired around 3,000 professional gunmen to stop them at the top of a hill in the middle of a forest.
Blizzard had his men wear red handkerchiefs around their necks so they wouldn't accidentally shoot each other!

Putting him to sleep was a breeze, much to our surprise, and daughter and son in law went to Radio City Music Hall to see a stage show. It was their Fourth Anniversary. They had a great time, but I think we had the best time of all.

Off to bed. Exhausted, but the very best kind of exhaustion. They grow up too darned fast! I also learned that food from someone else's plate tastes better than from a toddler's own plate. And he doesn't even say 'please'! Just that big grin, and those sparking eyes.

Well, Stupidium is a molecule rather than a periodic element. It is comprised of two atoms of nihilism and three atoms of leftism. Thus N2L3.

Also, the numbering of periodic elements is not based on order of discovery, but on their atomic weight.

With all this in mind, I will finally get around to answering your original question:

Full studies have not yet been conclusive as to the exact atomic weight of nihilism and leftism, but it is the resounding consensus of the scientific community that both will eventually be placed on the periodic table somewhere between #0 and #-10, as both carry no weight whatsoever.

re: #295 Slumbering Behemoth

Well, Stupidium is a molecule rather than a periodic element. It is comprised of two atoms of nihilism and three atoms of leftism. Thus N2L3.

Also, the numbering of periodic elements is not based on order of discovery, but on their atomic weight.

With all this in mind, I will finally get around to answering your original question:

Full studies have not yet been conclusive as to the exact atomic weight of nihilism and leftism, but it is the resounding consensus of the scientific community that both will eventually be placed on the periodic table somewhere between #0 and #-10, as both carry no weight whatsoever.

I beg to differ. Recent experiments carried out ny researchers at the haakondahl Institute indicate that stupidity is indeed an element, and is present in both Nihilism and Leftism. While theoretically there are configurations of Leftism which contain no stupidity, this has never been observed in nature, and can be found only in dubious media reports and the back pages of advanced University-level texts. Many graduate papers are predicated upon the existence of Leftism without Stupidity, but despite repeated experiments, this remains, ahem! "just a theory".
Nihilism, on the other hand, absolutely implies stupidity.

The Long March is an excellent example of stupidium. However, because so many subjects in the experiment expired - both during the march and in the several years afterward - it is difficult to determine the value of it.

With one exception - the progress of life on Formossa, aka Taiwan. There is a good example of the fruits of the Great March.

i could opine that Formosa is the antithesis of the "Great March" experiment, or the "control", if you will. however, the case could be made that it actually is the experiment, whereas the "Great March" and all that came after, up through today, are the ultimate "control" which proves the validity of the Formosa experiment and it's outcome.

TN is one of the hold outs in voting in a state income tax. Of course, our sales tax is 9.75, so I reckon it evens out.

we have both: sales is 8.5 or higher, IIRC: some areas have added additional levies that are *supposed* to fund certain projects, but that's all BS once the legislature is in session. there's no problem so simple that we can't make it worse by throwing more money at it to keep doing the same things that failed previously.

there is plenty of food in the world, it's just being dragged to the wrong places for the wrong reasons, and in certain areas, being restrained/withheld for political reasons, just as it's being diverted to alternative uses other places for political reasons. it's economics & politics, not pure supply & demand, imho.

re: #432 littleoldlady

I was about to ask Karridine for his address so I could send him some.

It would take several boatloads of fruitcup to help those folks I fear, littleoldlady. I hope and pray for them that they will at least get some water, as that will help with cholera.

May God send both water and fruitcup to them, and may their idiot political leaders accept it, for the good of their people!

re: #433 redc1c4

what is the disaster level in the Karen & Kachin areas?

The Karen should be far enough inland - not sure about the Kachin.

If we could get it IN, I'm sure we'd come up with the boatloads somehow.

Less than in the basin-lowlands, Red... The typhoon blew in a 2-3 METER tidal surge, and that just uprooted houses, drowned people & livestock and pulled down infrastructure, such as it was...

But the Ka-rehn and Ka-chin (to help readers with pronunciation) are higher hill-tribes... hit, but not as severely by comparison.

that was my guess, but i hadn't gotten out the histories & maps to ascertain.

for those not hip to ancient history, both tribes fought side by side with US troops during WW2, and it has always disturbed me that we haven't done more to protect them. now would be a good time to air drop in all sorts of goodies and tell the junta in Rangoon to FOAD.

I think we need a logistics person to figure out how to smuggle it into Burma.

I know missionary folks who are in that area.....I can ask a few discrete questions as to what is going on behind the scenes.

With respect to Karradine....

Can o' worms, Red. Big huge can o' worms, particularly with the Karen.

re: #444 Intrepid

But no matter HOW high or low they're situated, if they're asking/demanding autonomy from the Gutless Generals, then they're LOW on the disaster relief list, THAT's for sure!

These are who the Burmese army were recently killing and displacing by the hundred-thousands... genocide, yeppir!
