'm not actually following the story at all. I just want to guess as to what decade the military outright rebels when whatever sleazy rightwinger who calls himself a democrat gets into office. I'm going to guess by the 2030s the right will become so powerful and disconnected from reality that martial law will seem like the best way to keep the browns in line and to defend their precious bank owned property. 30 years ago people actually questioned the military, now thats barely permitted in media. In 20 more I'll bet the general view will be that the military is infallible and that the dirty politicians are just keeping us down with the laughable "democracy" thing. Then we see how long the real american empire lasts. I'm guessing centuries, a pre-rennasance populace is wonderfully easy to keep in line, they do it themselves.
From the very bottom of my heart: Fuck people who care more about dogs getting shot by cops than people.
The fact that we have basically flushed our rights away because of the white haired scums kneejerk reaction to "dope" and their ignorant certainty that cops cant make mistakes and and never fuck with innocent people is worse than an assembly line that incinerates puppies 24/7. There are worse things that happen to dogs every day, cops get away with worse every day. The only decent upside is that the average american sees a dog as important than a person they don't know, and god help that person if they are not lillywhite, so it makes good anti-prohibition PR. PR for the sociopathic, though that makes up the majority of americans I supose.

Since the fucking garbage who wrote that works for Reason magazine, I doubt he sees people as anything but an exploitable resource. When you make your living excusing the rich from social responsibility you have to have a few halfassed anti cop things or people are going to realize that your just an authoritarian thug who has friends in the highest places.

The last time I heard of anyone "doing something" lately its some rich suburban kids burning down some other richer suburbanite mcmansions. Would you say the average mindset, and group of belifes from your hypothetical "average" person from 1960(and a lot of the important civil rights stuff as from the fifteys as was a lot of other very important social change) isn't more full of racism, sexism, and classism than the average person now? Not a radical, who said bold things like "killing is wrong" and "blacks are people" (which where indeed bold statments) but average joe "damn nigger looked at me funny!" Smith. I think what made the people more "hardcore" is that the opposition was stronger. No doubt many people daaudled behind with poorly written signs, but there where TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM and even if they didn't do anything more, it means they where registering the fact that they thought differently. I would not ever bring up "hardcore" actions personally because the need for such actions itself is a register of a more malignant society.

Also, not just race(which is and will always be there) and gender, but also poverty and the general conditions of the country are much better now than they where in the sixties. When they marched against poverty, poverty was a huge widespread systematic thing that trapped huge segments of the population. Everything that they marched against still exists, but its been pushed under the table and really has been alleviated in a nontrivial way.

No, science is suppose to scientific, not skeptical.

I don't care about the IPCC, I care about internet message boards. People who on internet messageboards who belive in global warming tend to be liberal and intelligent, those who do not tend to be either idiotic or conservative(which is a fancy word for idiot.) This makes me tend to believe in global warming.

I honestly fucked up the "century" and while I should have tried harder, I think the usage of dates as centuries that make you do math problems to figure out when something happened is horseshit, and the equivalent of our very american imperial measurement system. Great for the land of classics majors and people who specialize the fuck out of themselves and don't have to care about huge differences, bad for anyone who wants to figure out when something actually happened. I meant 1820-1920.

I want to know who "funded the bolshiveks" though. How does that distract from the 9/11truthers/wacofreedomfighters/waterdefloridifiers/godownlyknows bullshit that are somehow more saintly in their illumination of the truth?

libertanrism is nothing but another hydrahead of the right concocted in think tanks to re-write the meaning of freedome to mean the privilege to beg your boss to be able to work an 18 hour day

What a load of ignorant clap trap. I want my 30 seconds back.

Anyway it should read "No, science should be scientific, not political"

Just thought I'd fix that for you, I'm sure someone will be along to slap you down on the rest.

Note to all stupid wannabe feminists out there:

All this girl had to do was cook me a few awesome meals (black bean dip with fried plantains, hello?) and give her beautiful ass to me after 2 dates and I proposed.

Said ass was tight, wet, a superior pussy in every way, and I'm in love. I came twice and didn't even know it.

See you losers on the far side. :tup:

BTW: I hear African rhythms are the new hottest thing in black metal. Get on it.

As many of you know (secret friends) I earn 100k+ as a psychiatrist/grief counselor (WTF? where does his music come from?), yeah...fuck you all...

Yeah, all good things must come to an end!

Blessed are we who drown ourselves in the bitter source from which all life first sprang.

It's damn bitter, btw.

But you think, then, of the effluvia of tree roots, cobra venom, the tang of the hunt on the hills, sap flowing from your freshcut spear, briars choking your every step, there is something pure there, if only in pain...

Hey: I'm watching all three CE MWNN SL Westerns tonight with a bottle of MM. Hope some of you'll join me, if only in spirit. And somewhere a gigantic Hana vagina weeps into white bed clothes, freshly bleached, alone...crying out for seed like a decrepit lighthouse in the GOM slowly winding down, powered only by stray hermit crab guts...good luck!

We fucking die alone, sweet/acid folds, fuck you.

When I hit Helene's gag spot a spun sugar Eiffel Tower crusted out of her forehead. 'Nuff said.

Gold leaf and champagne? Ugh, I wish adults could simply play...

The central project of the internet was to share ideas and have fun, to play. We've forgotten that. It's a shame.

Edit...And I should add this:

Although it IS fun to sublimate one's grief and frustration and move the angst into a vehicle of simulated expression which seems to temporarily alleviate the problems of reality, mostly by pretend interaction with (let's admit it) simulations, in turn, of other people, other potential selves, the resulting social interaction is detrimental for all if not moved almost immediately into the real world. But it's that frustrated ever-becoming and lack of responsibility for others' emotions which, I'm convinced, ultimately becomes addictive. The end result: negativity...social, personal, psychological.

And then one gets addicted to the negativity also.

Ultimately one just wants to unplug all the way and breathe fresh air. I wish this still was a viable option in the world...but one sees how the internet has completely wormed its way into every aspect of our lives. To do without is to feel an absence instead of gaining something immeasurably larger. It's that instinct to experience, capture, seize, and return to the hive mind that I abhor. I fear that we've turned a corner, all of us, and we can no longer go back to that personal freedom, that silence... There are now too many voices.

In many years, they will think of this time as the end of the american republic and the beginning of the american empire. It's a bleak time to be sure, but for us americans we do live in material opulence. Well in 200 years every person you will ever meet in your life will be dead. We are going to be history, and I want to show the jerkoff students of the future that we had a nation to be proud of. So I recommend you do this.

Take every silver coin in your possession, take a jewelers screwdriver or one of the other dozens of tiny screwdriver you certainly have in your possession if you are a vigorous young man(or WOMBman) and scratch off the abominable "in god we trust" part of our coinage. You don't even really need to hit the "in, we trust" because we are far too trusting a nation as it is, but get the fucking god part good. You will piss of coin collectors, but collectors of anything are fools, and you make a point to the people who will judge that there was some semblance of human thought in this violent imperial monsterstate.

Edit: yes I am aware this is a crime, jay walking is a crime to.

"We've identified the problem. Our communication tools have been stolen. The airwaves and antennas were built by our hands and our voices and it is with these hands and these voices that we will reclaim the antenna's. Disrupt the carrier signals, steal the devices and broadcast new content, Out own content. Created with our own voices our own hands and our own code. We must build the virus and we must build the Antennas.

We are coders, we are technologists, we are reverse engineers."

Cool. a homebrew transmitter and antenna thread. I'm in.
