I actually met my girlfriend, soon to be wife and mother online,
I've seen plenty of people mentioning their girlfriends on Slashdot, but until now I had never yet seen anybody mention they knocked up an internet lady for ePenis++.
Spending five years as a Lutheran in a Catholic school has made me one of the Devil's most hard-working advocates...
Yeah, because they didn't seem heartless regarding Tianemen,
If a host of minority political movements flooded Washington D.C., shut down its legislative branch, and demanded that, not only the administration, but the form of government be changed, I'd expect some heads to get busted. And, I'd also expect a considerable number of dead, even though we, unlike the troops involved in Tiananmen, are properly equipped for riot control. In fact, I'd venture to guess that a large part of the country would support it enthusiatically. Though, whether "a large part" has good judgment in such matters is doubtful (and fairly irrelevant in a democratic republic).
Political individuals certainly don't have the same avenues for communication to their fellow citizens in China, but that doesn't make the problem any different. Or the solution.
or during the Tibet take over,
Alternately, "the liberation of a people under the heal of a backwards, feudal theocracy which used slavery and serfdom into the mid-Twentieth Century." Tibet's suffering through the Cultural Revolution was in many ways no worse than what fell Han China. The big difference is to whom the flotsam and jetsam of these countries appealed. The Nationalists could appeal to our foreign policy and our pocketbook, but, for the average person, they are just the losers in some far away conflict.
Tibet, on the other hand, has managed to reinvent itself into some kind of New Age Sugarcandy Mountain to the Western Left and as a victim par excellence in the eyes of the Western anti-Communist. According to them, they didn't just annex what had been part of the Chinese sphere of influence since before there was a Dalai Lama, they destroyed a harmonious mountaintop kingdom which had no greater desire than its own and the World's spiritual well-being. Tibet is no longer a physical place; it's an idea. An idea which was created in the image of Victorian pulp literature. The Tibet in exile we now have has turned into a circus which is fully prepared to lie to its strongest supporters about the annexation and the Cultural Revolution's impact on the region--not in a frantic effort to retake the country in which they once lived, but to keep the circus moving.
Tell me, as a theocrat, would you rather jet-set around the world to be venerated by wealthy Westerns who can be made to believe anything out of their naïve spiritualism, or resume the day-to-day rule of a mountain theocracy which governs the lives of people who've spent the last thirty years in comparative economic, if not political, liberalism.
or in killing Falun Gong members, or...
These people follow a man who claims to be "the god of gods," fly, and become invisible at will, yet he doesn't dare return to the Mainland. Can you imagine what kind of person it takes to believe in a religion like that without it being deeply rooted in their culture and daily lives? I don't think we're losing any the great minds of our time with this action, regardless of its heartlessness.
The problem I have with nuclear power is that it is woefully inefficient. Using nuclear fission to generate steam that drives a turbine to produce electricity seems wasteful to me.
As our understanding of the physical world increases, it should be possible to extract electrons directly from the items undergoing fission.
Speaking as an employee of the nuclear power industry, this is the stupidest thing I've read all day. Amazingly, according to your posting history, you're not even a troll, so here's what I'm going to do:
I'm going to rape you.
Yes, I'm going to rape you. I'm not even gay, but I'm still going to rape you. And, you know what? I'm not even going to enjoy it sexually. What difference does that make to you, the rape-ee? Well, it'll last longer--my raping you.
They're doing this out of courtesy. Imagine you're a porn-starved 13 year old watching CSI when they show the mutilated, tortured female body's naughty bits.
As an American living in Sweden for the past few years, I can say that when a Swede says "Arab," they are usually talking about Iranians, Kurds, Syrians/Assyrians, Turkmen, or any of a number of white Middle Easterners. There are actually relatively few Arabs in Sweden, even though many immigrants come to Sweden from officially Arabic-speaking countries.
Doesn't anybody own their own telephone in the US? I guess I'm forced to because of the additional SIM cards I have to buy when I'm abroad, but it's not as though they prevent you from installing 3rd party apps on a phone you actually bought.

I'm doing my thesis at a power plant in the US after three years of study in Sweden.
Right now, I wish I could deprecate the British thermal unit with a handgun.
Holy shit, did you just call him a Communist???
In my lifetime, we've had Seventies retro and Eighties retro come in and out of style, but you're the first one I've met who's into Fifties retro.
That's why you grow it indoors. In your bedroom. Where you can kiss it good night.
I'd like to hear more details.

Don't ND your XD9 into your XD.
I know I'm a geography impaired American, but does Spain [wikipedia.org] count as continental Europe?
In a perfect world, no, it wouldn't.

That is going to be some awkward mastrubation.
It's part of a NASA-wide phase out of obselete units such as the ft-lb and the Beetle.

You're still going to be a huge nerd for playing with legos as an adult, but at least we have support groups for it nowadays.

In other news, the Cult of the Dead cow has released an expansion pack to its remote administration tool, BackOrifice.

This translation really hits home to those Something Awful users who were around when threads still got beecocked.
