  1. Re:civil disobedience on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 1

    As for DHS and FBI involvement, it matters, because it is limited federal resources being applied to local problems.

    NO NO NO NO NO! it is about that sacred feature of the USA that all POLICING is LOCAL. Never FEDERAL. Posse comitatus and all that. This is a big deal and this firewall has been under siege since Bush and Co and their creeping Fascism under the veil of 'Homeland Security'.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of that article got paid a nice under the table 'bonus' to pen that article. (Suspiciously 'glowing' review with no mention of the mountain of ethical charges against them). First of all, 'nice' is not Pincus' MO, and if it was true, HE should give back HIS options for incompetence. A person is either an asset or not, but let's say he was just being nice, then how consistent is that with taking away their compensation? it's more like cruel humiliation. This 'give us back the options we wish we hadn't agreed to' is in line with all of the other crap that is becoming legend. http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2011/11/10/zynga-stock-scandal/

    So let's not be quick in judging him. ok ?

    a quick googling of "zynga ethics" will allow you to make a quick judgement of what we're dealing with here. Pincus is setting new standards in rapacious business practices. This is nothing to shrug off, somehow this guy needs to be spanked.

    This is a unique case. A vast majority of experts agreed that the Iraq invasion was a good and necessary move. Most have, many years later, regretted their goose-stepping. To go against this particular movie would not only make you lightning rod for professional opprobrium, but also earn you the special wrath of the Zionists who hold a lot of sway in Hollywood. It's sort of like asking tough questions at the White House Press briefing room, you don't get invited back and are just another reporter afterwards.

    Let's see, should we pick the one that paints colonial conquest in a bad light, or should we pick the one that glorifies the last great colonial project of the modern world? Said project being a priority for much of Hollywood and for which only hearts and minds threaten its final success.

    It's relatively easy getting rid of a government but you should at least try and have some sort of plan to replace the old before you start storming the barricades.

    wow, you're turning the snobbery dial to 11, too bad it wasn't parody...
    and, not sure what is more classic "dumb american", the part of how easy it is to overthrow a govt. or the notion that the first priority above all should _obviously_ be the cash flow.

    unless it's ctyme's spam filter. I have a gmail acct that has NEVER been given out, it's there to receive a daily digest, and yet it gets many pieces of spam every day while my main addy has been in use since before spam itself and was freely posted all over the internets in the early years...without filtering gets hundreds of spams per hour. but after ctyme's filters maybe one or two slip through per WEEK (with the occassional new exploit getting through for a day or two before getting figured out. the guy is _good_) and I've yet to discover a false positive after 5 or 6 yrs now.

    funny, you seem to be suggesting that the the infamous 'swiftboating' of Kerry was purely an honest setting straight of history by his mates rather than a deeply dishonest and dishonorable ultra-right wing Koch Bros. funded slander operation.

    "WTF? What security has religion ever provided?"

    WTF you say? Considerable social cohesion for starters. But more specifically, the way individuals manage the chaos. That is, the framework for a brain to function in the world. You may say "that is simply opiate for _lame persons_", but the amazing Zizek can certainly help disabuse you of that naivety. I dish off to him bc to attempt to describe it is beyond the scope of a few paragraphs, (plus I'm never going to come close to doing it adequately anyway). But I will hint at the notion that 'religion' isn't the core of it, that is, the 'brands' you recognize, but rather the innate human faculty which creates religion(s) and which belief creates. It might even be fair to say that there is no security without "religion". You're soaking in it!
