    Let's increase our Presidential term limits to six years, with no reelections. Then we don't have to worry about ridiculous escapades such as Carter's battle against his own administration to withdraw all troops from South Korea, because it was the only major unbroken campaign promise he had left...

    Yes! It's a degree about nothing!

  9. Re:If You See Suspicious Activity on WikiLeaks Releases Guantanamo Prisoner Files · · Score: 1

    Patriotism, the last refuge of the fucking moron.

    I'm not allowed to be proud of the society and way of life that brought me and my personality to being, making me what I am today? I'm grateful for the role played by my government, generally speaking, in shaping me as a person and giving me a great start in life compared to others in the world.

    I'm not a moron. Blind patriotism is silly just like blind "anything", but patriotism itself is a little underrated.

  11. Re:RTFD on MoD's Error Leaks Secrets of UK Nuclear Submarine · · Score: 1

    Interesting, you are indeed correct that "Restricted" is a level underneath "Confidential". In the U.S., "Restricted" is used for secrets relating to nuclear weapons design and production and is obviously taken very seriously.

  12. Re:Woo progress, not! on No U.S. Government Shutdown This Week · · Score: 1

    This image says it all really - http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/2011-spending-trillion-cartoon.jpg. As an outsider looking in, it's obvious to me the government really needs to cut military funding. Our UK government has done. Apart from a cool info graphic on the NYT a few months back where you could pretend to make the necessary cuts yourself I've never see this mentioned anywhere else in the US media.

    Anyone want to know what a pile of one trillion dollars looks like?

  13. Re:Silly question: on Star Falls Into Black Hole · · Score: 1

    True, but the view of it in it's last instants before it crosses the event horizon would take longer and longer to reach the observer and become increasingly red shifted.

    It doesn't take longer and longer to reach the observer, it reaches the observer at the same speed, which is the speed of light. It loses energy, instead, becoming red-shifted.

  14. Re:Hard to believe on Amateurs Spy On US Spy Plane · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. Until complete invisibility is achieved(and it hasn't been despite promising reports), it can be seen, regardless of how good they are. They can have deception, etc. on their side but they can't do a lot about rays of light.

    They can release an inflatable decoy and then change trajectory. Or perhaps, maybe the actually observation platform is stealthy and designed to detach from the X-37B, and then a few weeks later the X-37B alters orbit to pick up the observation platform and return to earth? Not as complicated as you would think.

    >>The fear regarding China as a physical aggressor comes from US propaganda, which is probably why you think the crazy you just posted.

    Yeah, it's not like we've ever got into a shooting war with China because of China's paranoia over their national security, am I right?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War#China_intervenes_.28October_.E2.80.93_December_1950.29

    That was 61 years ago. To add some perspective to that, World War II ended 66 years ago. If you had been alive at that time, you'd likely have been wearing an onion on your belt, as was the fashion at the time.

  22. Re:wtf? on Former MI6 Chief Credits WikiLeaks With Helping Spark Revolutions · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Sir Richard Dearlove, former Intelligence Chief of MI6, credits WikiLeaks with helping spark revolutions in the Middle East, in (what was supposed to be) an off-the-record speech. 'I would definitely draw parallels at the moment between the wave of political unrest which is sweeping through the Middle East in a very exciting and rather extraordinary fashion and also the WikiLeaks phenomenon. Really, what ties these two events together, and of course a number of other events, is the diffusion of power, away from the states and the empowerment of individuals, and small groups of individuals, by technology,' he said."

    He didn't say Wikileaks is responsible for the revolutions. The editor read that... In reality, the former MI6 chief says there are parallels between Wikileaks and the revolutions in the Middle East, where a small number of people are able to affect great change through technology.

    And all you have to read is the summary... now we will have "former MI6 chief said Wikileaks caused the Middle East revolutions!" posts in all Wikileaks stories from now on. :(
