  1. Re:Problem here is "racism" on Journalist Arrested By Interpol For Tweet · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, Stalin appears to have killed upward of 20 million, Mao was similar. That's a lot of stiffs for Islam to live up to. Personally, I think they have it in them to do it, but they'll have to up their game. As soon as the lunatics finish taking over Pakistan and Iran gets their Shi'ite bomb and the Mideast Sunni's match it, they'll be plenty of stiffs to go around.

    First up, they'll try to finish the civil war started in the 600's when someone's grandnephew got whacked. After that, which ever side "wins" will feel like they should win something besides smoking ruins, so there go the Israelis. Nothing warms an Islamic fanatic's heart like smoking Jews. Notice their fondness for the Holocaust.

    Historical note: the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was made a Gruppenfuhrer in the Nazi Reich, he rather thought Hitler had the right idea on how to deal with the Jewish problem, Yasser Arafat was his nephew. During the war, he was good friends with the SS and broadcast to the mideast advocating exterminating the Jews, he also was instrumental setting up local SS in the Balkans to wipe out Jewish communities there as well and pushing Eichmann to get on with the job in Europe proper. Arafat idolized him.

    So, you are saying that a reasonably large company, say with 10,000 people, is going to be following them around with drones? What do you figure, 1 per person, or maybe 2? People tend to go into buildings, shopping malls, go to football games. But those evil geniuses running corporations are going to follow them with drones. Oh, I get it, they will be very small drones, able to fly through open doors.

    What'll it cost, man? Think of the children!! People followed by drones eventually start drinking and smoking and eating....transfats!

    My advice, eat some more of those funny mushrooms, then you won't notice the drones following your every move.

    The bombs aren't errant, for the most part they go precisely where the U.S. military aim them. Brown people have nothing to do with it, the Serbs got it in the teeth for being dickheads to the Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo and last we checked, they were not-people of color, a.k.a., they were white. Hell, the people the U.S. were defending weren't even Christian.

    Now, ya got any other straw men?

    Personally, I'm willing to bet that sooner or later pigs will fly, purely from a philosophical point of view. Pigs generally abhor being locked into a single mode of transportation since it has a tendency to lead to pork chops and ham shoulders. How much longer before you can only buy pigs from the Pig Store, effectively locking out other channels to obtain your pig products.

    The Democrats are just as dumb, I don't see them standing up for anything except Hollywood.

    The basic problem is that career politicians think research grows on trees. They don't have science or engineering degrees. They are little more than grownup teenagers who's sole experience with technology is their game controller and cell phone, and science, well they've heard of it...isn't that something those geeky little kids went into when they went off to grad school while the pols went off to law school?

    It is important to have a sense of perspective. The Iraqis decided the thing they hated the most was each other, and then decided they had nothing better to do than continue the Shi'ite-Sunni civil war begun in the 600's when some one's grand-nephew got whacked. The U.S. overthrew a brutal dictator who squandered Iraq's oil wealth and attempted to give them a democracy where they'd all be free. Haha, the joke was on the Americans, turned out the last thing the Iraqis cared about was each other or the good of their brand spanking new nation.
