Uhh hezbolah was created to defend lebanon in the 80s after israel killed thousands of lebanese and occupied a good chunk of it.
The last fight between them happened in 2006. Hezbolah kidnapped a few SOLDIERs to trade for PoWs (a common thing since israel has a shit ton of prisoners).
Israel responded by sending in an army many 100s of times larger than lebanon's they bombed many buildings including hospitals, school, UN bunkers and apartment buildings. Hezbolah fired rockets back to show resistance.
In the end Israel killed 1200 civilians, 300soldiers, and a significant percentage of the countries economy. Hezbolah killed 120soldiers, 40civilians. Notice the fucking difference in ratios. Oh and the whole time hezbolah conducted rescue missions, gave out food and helped transport people to safety. So fuck off.
Also: "Hezbollah is now also a major provider of social services, which operate schools, hospitals, and agricultural services for thousands of Lebanese Shiites, and plays a significant force in Lebanese politics.".
Also hezbolah states that they distinguish between zionists and jewish. Their stated reason for firing rockets is continued resistance against israeli attacks and to put an end to any colonial entity within lebanon. NOT kill jews.
How the fuck parent got modded up is beyond me. Every single point is a verifiable falsehood.
Agreed, and I'm sure GP would also agree. That's bullshit and not news. Just like faux news. Which goes to show EXACTLY what he said in the quote. So it's not "Fixed.", you are both in agreement. News companies that lie fucking suck. Regardless of left or right wingedness. And you attempt to correct him by showing a left wing fuck up?
Good important web news cites real news. Web news can do reporting better than media. They CANNOT do investigation better or even a fraction as well as reuters/AP can. If these groups die then yes, 'we are fucked'. Bloggers comment on the news and arrange it for us, this is valuable. But they don't find the news. Bloggers commenting on nothing is totally fucking useless.
Ty for distinguishing AP and reuters. I think, fuck the media, let them all go bankrupt. However, if we can do it in an unbiased way, supporting AP/reuters/feeds would be good. If they die we don't have a real alternative, we'll enter a dark age.
Only been on 2 flights lately where I had to layover in the US. And I didn't notice anyone NOT going through the scanners, though I may just be oblivious. It also might be that I'm not from the US but security already makes me feel like a criminal being processed. I definitely wouldn't be comfortable rocking the boat further.
Though i've never ended up in a backroom for questioning my best friend has. (A hot girl got picked for random inspection and he said yeahhh i'd have gone with her too. His snide remark ended up with him in a backroom for 5hours and questioning by the feds.) I would prefer to not share a similar experience.
Domain names have been muddy for quite some time. Think of all the non commercial dot coms. Or government sites on anything other than their.gov or their country code. del. del.icio.us? They've been mostly ignored. People get.com to look professional,.net at random (though it is supposed to be for ISPs), and.org if you want to stand for some ideal.
Though TBH I'm not certain WHY we need TLDs anyways. It isn't like there is some commercial slashdot.com it just redirects. I imagine that any big name will own all of the tlds with its name. Google is the only company that differentiates but it does it completely wrong. It shouldn't be google.com and google.org... it could just be www.google vs org.google. I guess it is something that lets companies sell the same product to people multiple times.
If they had two lanes that'd be fine and dandy. But refusing to be searched and requesting to be done by hand is making yourself a suspect. As soon as you ask that enjoy being treated like you tried to sneak a gun on board.
Not wearing a seatbelt risks your life, if you don't want this to be a law so be it. (I would make stipulations about children having belts mind you). Text messages risk your life AND other people's lives. That is a pretty fucking big difference.
Yes because the test ban doesn't make this difficult at all, just do all the testing for the spaceship IN space? ~____~
Also the nuclear pulse system IS for liftoff beyond the initial few hundred meters. The whole advantage of nuclear pulse propulsion is that you can lift MASSIVE things into space for cheap. And they can reach high speeds in space. The only reason they don't use nukes straight from the ground is that the debris would damage the ship.
Before you worry, if launched from a safe location the deaths worldwide due to fallout with current tech would be less than.1person. And if we were allowed to do research and testing on these things we could get it much lower.
The math seems to completely disagree with you. Designs allow for speeds of up to.1c for fairly cheap. So I have no idea where you are pulling your figures from. Also, nuclear pulse engines are DAMN SIMPLE, even a retarded monkey could understand the concept.
Treadmill system is nice and all but it messes with figures for vehicles that regain energy braking. And aerodynamics. And weight. Anyways the stated value is 390 and they did 500. Seems ok to me.
Oh I totally agree. And I am comfortable putting a $ value on my ass. I'm just wondering what the cost value is for this. If a life is worth 1million. And car crashes are reduced by 10% (4300lives, 4.3bill) than every driver(20million of em) would be spending 220$ a year to use cellphones in cars. Feel free to change the 10% or the value of a human to whatever you like and come to your own decisions.
Do note that if you value people at much less than a million dollars than there are tons of other issues you should be worrying about. (Identification of toxic waste works out to like 100billion dollars per human life)
Then you run into my first point. unless people put a big sign on their car IDing them as DD qualified it would be impossible to enforce. Also seriously cops do need to use electronics while in the car.
Sorry, I wrote a tl;dr for what you said to ensure i understood you correctly. I did read the whole thing and didn't really target just the last line.
Also I have read the king james bible in its entirety. Sort of true. But that is being an apologist. He could have said no slaves. Anyways I don't understand how if God is infallible that he needs to release a second edition and its still full of errors. The bible (new test) also talks about slaughtering disbelievers jesus having swords coming out of his mouth. Sleeping with relatives, the proper way to beat people and condemning whole cities of people to hellish deaths. If you saw no evil pushed by jesus or god in the new testament you are blind. Also, if you are expected to extrapolate why didn't they put that in the intro?
Either way it is this extrapolation which makes religion dangerous. It is for this reason many thousands of people millions even must die. Contractualism is pretty much impossible to get right. But the bible is something different.
It gives you the ability to live with no real moral code and feel no guilt. Step one, the book is so open ended as well as the religion and no one reads the book anyways that you can pick whatever moral code you choose. This is partially changed by bits of contract that is more clear or attractive to those attempting to follow the bible. Next when you make a decision based on your arbitrary moral code you have the support of god behind you that this is the right decision. Absolution of guilt if you make a mistake. Lastly, with no guilt and the idea that the bible is unchanging you have no reason to examine yourself, learn or adapt.
Of course it isn't so black and white but still. Scary.
Car crashes are quite easily the #1 cause of preventable deaths. Giving up a little likely wouldn't be a tragedy. I think people have grown too accustomed to it though and it will turn into a law like jaywalking where it is understood that everyone can ignore it. Unless you annoy a cop, then he can bust you whenever he wants.
If we go by our capital or population Saskatchewan is Western. But I'm just being snide.
As an Ontarian I'd like to say Thank You. Dear lord I much prefer relating to Europe over the US any day. Are you saying we care more about health care than you? (I know that tommy douglas was from saskatchewan). Do we have... lower crime rates? Less religious fanatics? Less military? (yes I view this as a good thing) Really, I don't know what you were pointing to.

/. actually got breaking ubuntu news BEFORE the main site. And people say /. is slow.
good to know you care a little bit at least.

Hey, a bunch of countries gaining LEO capabilities and sending up probes is completely comparable to the space special olympics.
The math seems to completely disagree with you. Designs allow for speeds of up to .1c for fairly cheap. So I have no idea where you are pulling your figures from. Also, nuclear pulse engines are DAMN SIMPLE, even a retarded monkey could understand the concept.
*"dog eat dog" ... hopefully the saying makes a little more sense now.
"multiple sources" that'll not work so well if wire sources like reuters and AP die.
Treadmill system is nice and all but it messes with figures for vehicles that regain energy braking. And aerodynamics. And weight. Anyways the stated value is 390 and they did 500. Seems ok to me.
Yeah, in comparison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion) seems easy to do. Probably doable tech wise and completely impossible politically.

Obvious strawman. I should really keep and memorize a list of fallacies so I can just list all applicable whenever anyone says anything online.
