"previously mistreated peoples carry grudges through many generations and turn those grudges into violent vindication"
i understand that.
Chippewas and Dakota/Lakota are still beating each up and killing each ohter to this day.
Im saying that the genocided cultures such as the jews and south africans and slavs are in a much better position than they were some years ago. native americans also...
they are no longer the oppressed. while in some cases the scales have turned, the slavs, jews, chinese, indians etc are hardly living in peace... but they're not being systematically killed, anymore.
but compared to most any other invading race at that time, you pick, germans, french, chinese, english, even portugese... it was comparable. that is what tended to happen in that stage of history.
my only problem is that our genetic diversity is now large enough to support ourselves as a distinct race, but this is also happening all over the world in australia, africa, and south america.
but anyways, too many people try to play the victim. how far back do you want to go as far as grudge-holding?
as far as the sterilization in 1970, im not saying i dont believe you, but such things were not widespread past ww2. now before that, i have some amazing stories to tell about my grandparents and before that, but I've ranted enough. We have had 70 years, several generations, to get over it.
Now look at any other 'genocided' culture, jews, slavs, whatever. They've managed to move on. Look to the future, not to the past.

"Heheh, as far as USA is concerned, the terrorists don't need to do anything right now. The Americans are doing a great job of terrorizing themselves, living in constant fear of being bombed and hijacked, putting each other on lists, watching and tracking each other"
What the hay, I have the karma to burn
As a 26 year old american with brown skin (I could easliy pass for middle eastern, though I am not), and a frequent flier, I do get extra screening each and every time I go through the airport. I am okay with that, because I cant remember the last time a Scandinavian, Frenchman, or German hijacked a plane.
As far as terrorizing ourselves, living in constant fear, yadda yadda, I just dont see it.
Im guessing you dont live in America, because despite these sensationalist slashdot articles, we are not living in fear. quote: "Just look, there is hardly a single article on/. where someone doesn't bring up the terrorists"............ Come live in any major American city. It would soon become obvious we are hardly scared of terrorism, no more so than being scared of dying in a traffic accident.
I've been to places that actually do live in fear. 99.9% of America does not live in fear of any sort, compared to many other places one could live.
sorry for the rant, I just feel all this America bashing is unfounded. Sure, our leaders aren't great. But compare to the rest of the world.... you think we are oppressive? Hardly.
Divers with SCUBA equipment will certainly be involved, but as far as getting the ordinance from being in a dangerous location into a less dangerous equation, SCUBA is not the interesting part. Certainly not with all else that would be involved.
"So. Let's see. It'll require super modern technology like "SCUBA" gear and big "Cranes", maybe even "Vehicles". Wow. I'm so excited I think I wet my pants."
nice reply, but
'SCUBA' wont be used for much of anything
go ahead and use 'Cranes' to lift 1.4 kilotons worth of TNT buried in a rusted out cargo ship in a sandbank underwater in a large river.
What kind of 'Vehicles' are you thinking of? 'Vehicles' is a pretty wide ranging group. Do you plan to use boats, or airplanes, or segways, or what?
As far as you being excited and wetting your pants, I will agree with you there. That is certainly not news for nerds. or stuff that matters.
Be a little more specific as far as to why you dont think this wont take a little engineering or some other nerdly skills.
uhm, how about that the problems of the past will require greater technology to resolve than it took to create them. (believe it was an einstein idea, not quoted verbatim, and dont care to look it up)
or more specifically, this bunch of bombs will require 2004 technology (or more) to safely remove items designed, built, and deployed between 1937 and 1941.
i cant think of too many things designed these days that would survive 60+ years of being exposed to the elements, especially buried in a sand bank underwater... and then would still work close to specifications...
yep, they just dont build things the way they used to
So we drew their attention to the fact that bio and chem weapons can be produced simply with easily available materials.
If that is correct that wmds are that easy to build, we should acknowledge that and adapt to the threat.
Simply put, if we did keep quiet the terrorists would eventually figure it out anyways. Security through obscurity doesnt work. open source anti terrorism.
first he takes some bamboo, cuts one end off (hollow pipe). he then plants them in a nearby swamp, hole down, so they get filled with swamp gas.
voila, rockets. MG then proceeds to launch these at incoming boats. lighting the tail end, suddently these are more effective than hellfires or exocets.
i dont know where to begin as to whats wrong with that scenario. thats the only episode of mg that i've seen. its enough...
i was thinking of making an olympic website, im curious if I do go get live feeds by way of proxy or something, and then I post that on my website........ what sort of trouble would I be in? any lawyer types out there?
well I just RTFA, and i think the site is a little strange to be true. not that i found anything blatently obvious, but for one, he starts off posting supposed pictures to him and children. that struck me more as 'political ad' rather than to be debunking accusations. I read more, some sort of sob story about sheriffs evicting him and whatnot. not exactly the factual evidence I was looking for.
at the top he has a link to some sort of land record title. no names attached. yeah i can post a random land record too, especially if it doesnt have names attached.
I didn't find any facts to support any position, his or otherwise...
and his website sucks, but its simple enough to survive a slashdotting, maybe. i wonder what comcast is charging him.

BAD IDEA!
I would have fallen into that third category of 'punks on their way to prison', had I been triaged in such a manner in high school.
Now that I'm a ways out of high school, I haven't been in trouble in a decade and am a productive member of society.
A better question would be: "Does China need Microsoft?" No, I dont think so.
but I dont think I've ever seen anything more insightful in my 3+ years here...
there's a pic of this fellow with the jawbone growing in his back over on CNN...
wierd, but not too gross I guess
I just bought a brand new dell laptop. it came with a dell USB memory stick. I plugged it in and it wanted a reboot.
bah.
i honestly dont pay much attention to that. i probably should.
i know that I got a reasonably nice chunk a few years back, and supposedly im supposed to get a chunk at some point in the future.

what the whites did to us was shitty, no doubt...

"I wonder when he will be taken out for thinking too much."
Would you care to post a list of other people that have been taken out for thinking too much?
For as much as some tend to complain about oppression in America, I'm not aware of such things actually happening.
Thanks
