You mean the Daniel Pearl video? That's why I have chosen to never watch it along with the fact that the people who created it want me to, and I do so love to disappoint them in any small way I can.
So did Videodrome. That's what made it dangerous.:-)
I was just pointing out than American exceptionalism in this case is a total crock of shit, as it usually is.
*shrug* OK. Nothing special about that. Hey, dude, I'm practically an anarchist at this point. I don't trust anyone in politics to give me the correct time of day. Living here in California didn't help. Our legislature is actively and openly hostile to anyone with functioning neurons. There's been a few accidently recorded "private" conversations where it's clear they have given upeven the barest pretense of serving anything but their own egos and bank accounts.
That's what is most depressing about the whole situation. Right after 9/11, someone in federal government circles commented about how it was a whole new world and whole new battle, how we'd "come out of the darkness" and "in the night" and strike back at the pigfuckers. All covert and super secret super squirrel-like. They'd never know what hit them or where it was coming from next. Teach the assrags what terror really means right in their little training camps. It sounded great. But then the bombers and tanks showed up.:-\ I can't even find the quote anymore.

George Will? Bleah. I'd like to see them go back to the classic William "Legalize drugs" Buckley much more academic mode. I might start paying attention again.
that this would make GW Bush a very, very progressive president
About a billion people have said that before you, you know. Many conservative organizations complained endlessly about the spending and power increases under Bush, but they never got any media coverage. The libertarian leaning Cato Institute hated the SOB.
Cripes, that sounds like my crazy elderly dad. He thinks they should kill a murderer's family (you know, the people who *didn't* do the crime) in front of him. I keep explaining to him that serial killers are sociopaths who won't *care* if you kill their family (or even get off on it), but no go.
considering how cameron's diving hobbies inspire his creative works (look at titanic and the abyss), i welcome whatever comes out of the creative ferment of his mind from his interest in deep caves. perhaps the abyss ii? some sort of horror movie?
Maybe he can go spelunking in a library, and learn how to make an original plot and put that "3D" concept to work with his character construction.
The article notes that James Cameron is planning to release a 3D film next year about extreme cave divers.
And the year after that will see "Cavatar"
A man falls in love with a female from a tribe of green, subterranean lizard people, and helps her fight off the evil white American oppressors who want to drill her (wink wink) home for sub-crustal oil.

I actually sent in "Crime scene cleanup" to their suggestion box a while back.
The Telegraph reports Karen Gillan as specifically denying
Pfft! That woman would forget her own engagement. I wouldn't trust her as a source.
Every government carries a philosophy.

The Agonizer! Please tell me the project manager looked like Leonard Nimoy with a beard.

So, you think America doesn't call in the troops to maintain order.
Did I say that? No. We were talking about China and their allegedly oh so philosophical government.
What you have to understand about China is that their government is an expression of their religious philosophies.
Whose philosophy do you support in this picture?

The signal bar has now been replaced with a Mana bar.
Does the mana bar refill itself or do you have to rest at an inn?
I know, I know. Geez.

Making your own dollars is a federal offense.
No, no. Making it is fine. *Keeping* it is a federal offense.

hat won't stop *them* from going out of their way to affect you
Yeah, doing things like voting.
Don't make me come over there!
Gosh! Why didn't I think of that? Oh, yeah, I'm not insane.
The Romanian study apparently successfully interviewed 858 families
Gosh. I hope no one was hurt in the unsuccessful interviews.
Another quest for the one size that fits all.
Here's the real answer: it helps some, hinders others and is a wash for the rest.
