he didn't they and they didn't because someone, somewhere, opposed them. their visions were not fulfilled because they were not in an environment of no effective opposition, like, say 1930s economically devastated germany
so: do you think the cliques in power in tehran and north korea should be opposed? if not, why not?
but this does not mean that enemies are just made up hoaxes
the venom from north korea and iran is real. just ask a japanese, or a syrian
this is where you lecture me on how these are peace loving harmless countries that have been turned into monsters, just to slake a thirst to spend money by an industrial complex in the usa
you know, there are actually real breathing human beings in north korea and iran who think and have their own ideas, completely of their own will and independent volition. some of their ideas come from concepts they dearly believe that are older than the united states' existence. not just cardboard cut out reflections of some western propaganda from decades ago from a dead cold war era. maybe you should conceptionalize the fantasty that there exists real people outside the usa with their own agenda that did not start in washington dc
some of them have agendas that carry some malice for peace on this earth, not just malice for the economies of the west. what they believe and think is their own original creation, and may require defeat on a battlefield
i say that not because i love drinking oil from the skulls of dead children, or whatever nonsense you believe about someone like myself who would say such a thing, but because i understand, unlike you, that menace does not only flow from one place in the world, and the usa is not the only country with a military industrial complex
in fact, if you want to see the most complete representation of the idea of a military industrial complex controlling a country in all avenues of power, try pyongyang. tehran, not so much, but the revolutionary guard there is trying its best to defang the mullahs and be more of a direct military industrial complex dominating a country, just like pyongyang
so if you oppose the idea of the military industrial complex, you oppose north korea. unless your supposed principles are not so much real principles, just a thin veneer for the same old tired tribalism of hating a country or nationality such as the usa just out of the same old tired empty chest thumping avarice you believe you are above somehow?
So you know the status quo is wrong, but you are happy to do nothing yourself or to find anything wrong with it, simply because you believe the common man doesn't care enough, or is stupid enough not to notice.
You are a cynical moron. That's not naming calling. That is an objective description of your attitude.
I'm not talking about a revolution, you cynical moron. "Not put with this crap any more" does not imply reaching for guns in anyone's minds, except idiot minds like yours. Financial influence in this country is something a lot of people are angry about, on issues a lot more near and dear to people, especially and most importantly their livelihood. We will take back our own government from financial influence. Go ahead and laugh at me for saying that: and for doing that, consider yourself exactly like the uncaring idiots you outline above.
You don't know what you are talking about. I did appeal. And then sat and waited, and waited.
My whole point is that I was tried and convicted of a crime I did not do. Why is it beholden upon me to go through motions to prove my innocence? Why is my content suspect and subject to removal because I am not a large conglomerate? That's the point, that's the problem, that is what people should not have to put up with.
It was our national anthem, and it was copyright free, I made sure I got the track from a royalty free collection.
Nevertheless, the AI thought it sounded like someone else's recording of the national anthem, so I was tried and convicted. Oh sure, there was an appeal's process, but it is up to me to wait in line to be absolved of the sin I never committed. Guilty until proven innocent.
And we are talking about our national anthem. You know, freedom and all that. Irony.
All hail the great God filthy lucre.
Eventually, the people are going to be fed up, and not put up with this crap any more.
all i could think of was politicians flying for years, within a narrow ideological area, and hovering at the highest echelons of power, propelled aloft by nothing but hot air
The general public doesn't give shit about issues like internet freedom or privacy - they only care about "issues" that are spoon fed to them by the powerful elite.
All I know is I hold the general public to a much higher esteem than the absolutely brain dead mental vomit you find from self appointed know-it-alls like you that we find on the Internet.
You're trying to tell me people are unable to care about topics on their own? They are only able to regurgitate what someone else says they should care about?
You've done a good job of hitting that perfect brown note between unbelievably dumb and condescending asshole. It's hard to fake such worthlessness of thought.
if your coworker said his mother just died do you crack jokes about how ugly she was?
if you get in a fender bender on the highway do you start craking jokes about how the other guy's car sucks?
if you go on blind date with a woman, five minutes in do you start making crude jokes about her ethnicity?
you can have an argument about legality of this case all you want, but hands, down, 100%: are a genuine bona fide moron if you think threatening to blow up an airport on a wide open communication channel is funny
Consider the resources and authority of the Chinese govt. Consider how much warning they had. Consider the flyweight of time and effort it would have taken. Consider we are talking about an animal with a significant fraction of the charisma of the panda, nevermind the historical, cultural, and national identity value.
China: you really fucked up. Oh yeah for communist central planning. Losers.
#1, it happened in my life time. It makes it more personal. It feels like someone could have heard a story about the dwindling dolphins around 10 years ago, traveled to China, and done something about it. This really is the case where ONE MOTIVATED PERSON could have saved an entire species. It could have been me. It could have been someone reading this words. WE fucked up.
#2, these were intelligent, attractive, sensitive creatures. It's like killing your dog, or making dogs extinct.
#2, China was not a basket case country ten years ago. Modern, rich, growing, proud. It could reasonably have been expected some Chinese somewhere would have cared enough to at the very least preserve a tissue sample, if not a breeding stock. We're talking about something that the Chinese for thousands of years marveled at, lived with, considered kindred water spirits, perhaps even worshipped. These dolphins feature in ancient Chinese artwork, something their ancestors gazed on and felt kinship with. It's an insult on your ancestors. China: you built a dam, ran some river traffic, polluted some more without thought, and poof: a piece of Chinese identity, a Chinese national treasure, something a part of the fabric of your ancient nation: gone forever. Out of neglect. The slightest atom of national attention and interest and resources would have saved the Baiji.
There's a lot of bullshit nationalist chest thumping in the world, but really CHina: shame on you for this, shame on you. You fucked up. Fix it.
How? I don't know, start with a Indian River Dolphin as a template and engineer. Find some tissue in some bones in the muck somewhere. Bring the Baiji back. You owe your nation this, you owe your ancestors this, you owe the world this.
China, you fucked up. The insult is to your own nation and your own ancestors the greatest. And you have shamed and embarrassed yourself in the world.
sir, with all due respect, you are a class AAA idiot on this topic. i am certain you are quite intelligent, lucid, and accomplished on a range of other topics. but you should try not to comment on international affairs. it's embarrassing

the enemy of my enemy is my friend who has a BSOD just like mine
it helps when pointing out the supposed errors in others to not be committing that same error yourself. hypocrisy, stupidity, etc.

Tiananmen showed us the Chinese govt has no problem using machine guns on those

Thank you, Internet.
there is a difference. you are a mindless cynic
then china is doomed
submitter is a republican if the subject of the joke is financial policy, because democrats want the government in your wallet
submitter is a democrat if the subject of the joke is social policy, because republicans want the government in your bedroom
Wow
What a tool
The comment was stupid. Threatening to blow up an airport is stupid
Get over yourself
if your coworker said his mother just died do you crack jokes about how ugly she was?
if you get in a fender bender on the highway do you start craking jokes about how the other guy's car sucks?
if you go on blind date with a woman, five minutes in do you start making crude jokes about her ethnicity?

found doing an image search for baiji:
http://www.ecowalkthetalk.com/blog/2010/09/07/witness-to-execution-how-we-failed-to-save-the-yangtze-river-dolphin/
is that a baiji in formaldehyde?
can a biochemist reading this thread speak to what formaldehyde does to dna? (assuming it's formaldehyde)
thank you
for nominating yourself the spokesman for 1.3 billion people with special insight into what they think

but you can abstract out what is essential to Al Gore, and recreate that in a logical construct known as an AlGorithm
