At Home

I still love yah

Q? Please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_and_Not_U (see above) http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/4/2...4269/526/499856 I'm not even going to touch that. Okay, that's fine, but you're completely missing the crux of the argument, Jorge. Bullshit. Everyone with half a brain knows that's a complete fabrication. I take offense. Hm... good point.

Guys, thank our Pagan gods that Marney is gone, now we can go back to circle-jerking to a B.O. Hussein poster.

Having finally rented the flick, I completely agree with you. And, yes, I felt the need to bump this thread just to say that. Yes, it is.

In some European cities, street parking spots actually separate the road from the bicycle lane, making it much more safer to ride a bike.

In the scale of things undemocratic, superdelegates take the cake.

The best game Japanese game shows..... ever. I forgot the names, but here are the descriptions. 1) A man was shut up underground in a little bunker for one year, given nothing but about a few weeks' supply of food and water. And several hundred magazines, pens, pencils, envelopes, and stamps. To survive, he had to furiously enter magazine contests. 2) A guy was tied to a pole naked and had to run around an arena. Long story short, he got raped by a dog.

Yeah when is this starting.

I'd say just the right amount. It was really either that or a full-on invasion of Japan. I mean, we would've kicked their asses, but the casualty count would have been in the six digit range. The reason why they are so crazy weird is because of the whole rapid modernization after Commodore Perry.

$3.67 in HI.

Not surprising. Douglas MacArthur ran the country for 6 years, instituted several democratic reforms, and was actually well-received by the Japanese.

Me. Much more, in fact. The nuclear weapons did serve their purpose though. Interestingly, Pearl Harbor was a limited tactical success. They didn't knock out communications or supplies at Pearl Harbor, only destroyed a few ships (the big boys were coincidentally out at sea), and chose not to send a second wave. Not to mention the Rape of Nanking. That is easily the most atrocious event in human history. Period. Japanese generals would have contests to see how many Chinese they could behead by sword in one day. Not to mention human experimentation and several other gruesome atrocities. Do you know why our strategy was island hopping? After Pearl Harbor, we had to concentrate our efforts against Germany for a good amount of time, and build up an army, and switch to a wartime economy. In all that time, the Japanese rolled all throughout the Pacific and set up forts on small islands around the pacific. A fort is set up so that it is totally defendable, and in order to pass it, you must take it. To take a fort requires massive bloodshed. The Japanese actually thought that the Americans were pussies and wouldn't accept the life loss in order to take the forts and advance through the Pacific. Well, they were wrong. Fun fact: after the battle of Coral Sea, both armies had set up camp around New Guinea. As the Americans progressed forward through NG and up to Japan, Australian citizens living up there became spies and routinely reported back to American commanders in the area. Also, in several islands, Americans teamed up with none other than Pacific cannibals to defeat the Japanese on some critical islands.

Great zombie Jesus.

I'm not going to take the bait on the first part on what you said, but I never really knew that the Japanese were traitors. They were the most brutal soldiers in WWII. Not the strongest, but certainly up there in thirst for blood. Multiple accounts of Japanese soldiers getting wounded, and when an American soldier attempted to help them, he pulled the pin on his grenade. Not to mention they trained every woman and child with whittled bamboo staffs to kill one American soldier before they were blown away. But we firebombed their asses, set their entire city on fire, and even set the air on fire. Bruuuuuuutal.

Obama wasn't even on the ballot in MI, not sure about FL. Counting those delegates would be just unfairly and illegally handing over a big group of pledged delegates and popular votes to Hillary. Not to mention that was early in the game, before the Obama momentum really started going. I'm not saying that he'd win there, but it would be different, that is for sure. They did, however, break DNC laws and are having to pay the consequence for that. There are a lot of supers to be spoken for, and Obama picks up supers at a rate of something like 11:1 over Hillary.

You're kind of ignoring the fact that Obama has an insurmountable pledged delegate lead, and also leads in the popular vote. Clinton is clinging on to the fringes of a failing campaign.

I really don't understand why this is such a big issue. I've felt that way for years. So what if it's not politically advantageous to say it. He said it, and there are several shades of truth to it. In other news:

I saw Fountains of Wayne live. They're all in their late 30s or 40s or so, but still kick ass. There was only a dozen people there, as it was a Tuesday, but it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. The Little Ones are also a great band.

Bruce Springsteen endorsed Obama.

Uh, what? A girl got severely beaten over some dumb shit on myspace or something like that, and when we say, "What the fuck, man. Bitches be runnin' wild," then it's the pussification of society. But when the city is literally pussified, and the cops kill a cougar, then they're just fucking assholes. Even though it may have been a threat to the general public.

BOOOOR-ING

That's true. I'm not going to debate people are living longer. There are some more factors, but that's a major one.

eBay, people on eBay, and people not shipping things out on time. There's a lot more, but that's what's bugging me now.

That, and that it's completely unethical and wrong to think that wars are justified for that purpose. I think that the problem really lies not with making medical advances (I can't really tell if you're being serious by saying that it is a problem), but with urbanization. 50% of the people in the world live in cities. With that, you're going to have health problems and you're going to have a mess of other things to deal with. But that's not to say that proper planning can't help combat that (see: Brazil). Maybe we need to see a resurgence in the power of suburbs: not only towns that cradle comfortable living, but also cradle successful businesses and economies. Not to say they don't already, though. Just distribute some of the power of cities outwards. Yeah, 1.5 children per couple isn't exactly a lot. Me? I'm doing my part by vowing to never, ever have children.

You have to buy the bulk package from Costco. Last time I bought them, they were like $3.50 for a package of three. Do not defend war as a means of combating overpopulation. That is the worst argument ever. Go fight in a war if you hate overpopulation that much.
