if you have an injection that murders you, the next time you get an injection you will choose a different supplier
and even if you just get very sick, you will be sure to be an informed consumer and do your research on murky supply chains for medical injections, before it happens again
these damn liberals and their regulations just want to destroy the market with their nanny state ideology
the consumer can take care of himself
in fact: you should be doing your own injections, like a self-sufficient captain of industry would
you know what i see in front of me? i nice story. a nice sob story
you will find a lot of people posting on slashdot who will swallow your story 100%, hook, line, and sinker. because your story fits in with their prejudices and preconceptions. there is an unfortunate aspect of some people's thinking where mistrust of one entity (the US govt) automatically translates to undeserved trust to other entities (the regime in Tehran, moscow, beijing, conspiracy theorists, sob stories like yours)
the truth is, when you hear a story, a nice pat narrative, a "gee wiz how'd that happen!" scenario: the US govt is untrustworthy. so is tehran. so is moscow. so is beijing. so are conspiracy nutbags. so are you
i don't trust the US govt. or state govt. or local sheriffs. i think them completely capable of everything you write here
but i also believe it is likely that you as well is 100% full of shit
in other words: i don't know you. i don't trust you
sorry. but maybe you will understand, that just hearing an unverifiable loopy sob story on the internet does not automatically deserve empathy and trust, and that is careful, and that is smart of me. maybe you will understand that
but keep posting here: plenty with the prejudice i mentioned: automatically trusting you undeservedly because they dislike the govt, read and post here. you will find them, keep making noises, and they will wholeheartedly support you
no, it isn't to be laughed about, because you're one scary fucked up psychotic wackjob
i think that you aren't telling the whole story. either you don't understand the whole story due to psychological defect, or you are purposefully lying about the story out of malice and vendetta. because the us government has done, is doing, and will do, horrible vile things in this world. but a story like yours is so wacky it speaks more about your personal issues, than issues with the us government
enter the name and location you provide (if you even are this person) and this pops up in google:
if you are this person, i'm sorry the feds fucked up your grow operation. marijuana should be legal in the usa
but frankly, fuck off you rotten crackpot troll. you obviously have a giant goddamn warped chip on their shoulder, and it's rotted and festered and turned into a loopy obnoxious agenda. the american government's war on pot is stupid. but that doesn't mean all of their targets in the drug war angels. you for example: you're a fucking wackjob
the american spooks will fuck you up for doing something against their geopolitical agenda
so will the russians. but in addition, the russian spooks will fuck you up for doing something against the russian political status quo (and of course, the chinese too)
america has going for it a genuinely much better tolerance for political dissent. you can say things about obama you can't say about putin or hu jintao. and that matters, it really matters
but if you want to belittle that difference, you probably live in the west and have a well established antiestablishment attitude
ok, now try that same antiestablishment attitude against moscow... in moscow. or against beijing... in beijing. exactly: your attitude just tells us you don't appreciate what you have
in short, there is no nation you can fully trust. only differences in degrees. and the usa currently leads the list of trustworthiness of the superpowers. not that the usa doesn't have a lot of room for improvement. and not that it can't backslide. but currently it's the shinest piece of crap on top of the shit pile
Sorry, obviously you believe he did it because he's a bad man and he was meant to be a bad man by fate. If we meet in future I'll remember to try talk to you as I would my 3 year old.
That's right. I'm one of the Hollywood stereotypes you consider real. Thanks dude for pointing out the real thinking that lurks in me. I was not aware of it until just now, when it popped out of your head and sat between us, and you started talking to it and ignoring me.
But if you are done lecturing me on how I am supposed to think according to your prejudices and preconceptions, what I would say is that Bin Laden is responsible for what Bin Laden did. I know, this is some really radical level thinking here.
But speaking of toddler level cognition, let us examine a recent world event and see if you can set me straight from my horrible radical theory of blaming people for what they actually do, and onto your correct path of fabricating loopy rationalizations based on political agendas:
Recently an idiot made a movie smearing the image of the prophet Muhammad. In response, there was violence in the Muslim world from protesters.
Who is responsible for the violence in the middle east: the idiot filmmaker? or the protestors in the middle east?
spent millions teaching me psychological warfare tactics, put me in a position of power entirely based on being a "heroic freedom fighter" then left me to stew for a while
you really believe that?
that what you wrote is a realistic description of bin laden's interaction with the CIA? nevermind that the next hilarious thought is that this hollywood bourne ultimatum mental diarrhea therefore transfers all responsibility for what he did to washington dc
what you wrote is an accurate description of your beliefs of how things happen in your world? really?
dumbfounding. absolutely dumbfounding
no wonder the world is so screwed up
that this sort of tribalistic thinking can triumph over reason
i have no doubt that on other measures in life you are probably a perfectly sane and reasonable person
but when it comes to processing world affairs, a hollywood narrative is the only thinking you accept. it's the tribalism. it has an evolutionary edge in certain scenarios. and so as you demonstrate, it's made some disgusting compromises with human cognition and lucidity
Not at all. Just the other day some guy had parked his car too close to mine, and I couldn't open the driver's side door. So I took a baseball bat to his windshield.
But I'm completely justified of course. I shouldn't be judged for how I respond to negative influence. It's not my fault when I respond with horrible acts to perceived slights. Horrible acts of violence that come out of me are completely the fault of the person who slighted me.
OMG, my wife just came home wearing a skimpy dress. I'm going to go beat her senseless.
But we all know it is her fault she got beaten, for wearing the skimpy dress, right?
just ignore me. clearly i think of this bin laden fellow as a human with his own thoughts and motivations. which is completely crazy. we all know he is simply an empty avatar to stick any motivation on that reinforces our political prejudices
and there is a very big fucking difference between 1953 and 2012
pfffffffffffft
it's amazing to see how prejudice warps peoples perceptions of reality
999,999 events, 999 actors. 99 years
pick one event. pick one actor. pick one year. boom: all causation is here. everything is explained. this fanciful story is our reality. amazing!
it's dumbfounding to see how otherwise intelligent people can have their minds warped by this tribal level "reasoning". certainly tribalism has shaped much of human evolution. so it is explainable why people are able to carry on like this without any cognitive dissonance
We cannot understand what is going on in Iran without allowing for the role the West has played in creating the current situation
dumbfounding. amazing. iranians don't exist. they're just these mirror image reflection of the west
dude: do you want to understand what comes out of regime in tehran today? you start, and end, with the thoughts and opinions of the regime in tehran (not the average iranian: they revolted against these assholes in 2009 and were violently suppressed). these people have opinions. motivations. and lame motherfucking excuses. which, for some reason, you swallow, hook line and sinker
remember: the wife beater doesn't want to beat his wife, it's the wife's fault for wearing that dress
that you can support the idea the west is somehow responsible for what iran does today is exactly the same sort of completely fucked up bullshit. really!
At some point you are going to have to notice that the Cold War ended over 20 years ago and the CIA meddling in Iran happened over 50 years ago. In your mind, that is a causative action. That what the regime does today, is a reflection of that event. In 2012.
So let's just keep playing this game, shall we?
In 2001 Al Qaeda attacked the USA with hijacked planes (oh, right, sorry, i forgot: this is because the USA gave Bin Laden a Stinger missile in the 1980s). In 2045, a fascist rises in the USA, and declares war on Mexico and Canada. But: this is the fault of Bin Laden because of 2001, right? I mean I'm just trying to follow through on your logic here.
Of all the events that happened in and to the USA in fifty years, we are going to selectively choose 9/11 as the formative, causative, and the ultimate point of blame, responsibility and accountability upon which to hang everything the USA does. Right? I think this is great: the USA has no more responsibility for its actions. It can do horrible vile things, and we will have people like you explaining to us it is because of what Bin Laden did ten years ago. twenty years ago, thirty, forty.
Look: the USA did plenty of evil in the Cold War. So did the USSR. Why can't we creatively explain Bin Laden as the fault of Putin and Moscow? Isn't it that he was fighting the USSR in the 1980s?
Does the absurdity ever enter into your mind?
The USA nuked, NUKED Japan. I mean this is truly horrible by orders of magnitude compared to the kind of things the USA did in Iran, right? That's why the Japanese are a theocracy that suppresses it's own people (2009 green revolution... oh wait! Tehran regime says that's the West's fault! of course!). That's why the Japanese threaten it's neighbor with annihilation, right? That's why the Japanese have murals of the great Satan USA everywhere and march every year to chant down with the USA. It's completely understandable. It's not like the Japanese are real people with their own thoughts and motivations, they are just empty avatars of revenge in line with your own prejudices, right? Why claim responsibility for your own actions when we have such a wonderful narrative of perpetual victimhood?
This is you: you dislike the USA. That's fine. That's your right to dislike the USA. It's the bullshit alternareality you construct with your prejudice that's the problem. In the constant web of causes and effects in the world, you latch onto certain events out of hundreds of thousands. You ignore the 999,999 other events, and selective construct a creative fantasy cause and effect chain to match your predisposed opinions. Doesn't matter if the event is from fifty years ago, it just has to fit your Hollywood narrative. You ignore everything since. You ignore everything before. You point to this event as the ultimate formative cause, ever. In all of Iranian history. Of all the actors on the world stage. Because it has to match your prejudice.
Then, and here's the part where my mind blows up: you use the fantasy cause and effect chain to disavow the theocracy in Tehran of all responsibility since 1979 (the revolution happened decades after the CIA meddling, but never mind, pesky details). Today, Tehran is now innocent of anything it could have ever possibly have done wrong. Because CIA 1950s. Duh. And, here's the wonderful zinger: all that Tehran does is also clearly the blame of the USA! Awesome!
Doesn't the stink of the laughably absurd cognitive dissonance ever get to you?

While the Beluga are aquatic, probably smarter, and definitely cuter than you, they are unlikely to replace you in the hearts of you pirate brethren.
Mainly because at 5.5 meters (18 feet) long and at 1,600 kg (3,500 pounds), they do not fit on the shoulder of your average pirate.
However, it is likely that the elder pirate gods, in their watery realm, prefer Beluga companions over parrots
