It doesn't have to be outright bigotry. Just the segregation of types of people (in this case young/old) fits the mold. Most kids may very well be less responsible than most adults (though I think that is about as applicable as black people vs. white...most kids don't steal, and I would guess less so than people over 18) but the descrimination/segregation/bracketing/etc clearly exists.

Ever go into a store as a teenager (or thereabouts, or look young) and be stared down the entire time out of suspicion that all kids must be thieves? Or rented a house/apt while in high school?

Looks like he will recover & be charged with possession.

The last remaining forces in Afghanistan. It's not as important to the War On Terruh as Iraq is. More 3rd and 4th and beyond tours of duty. Less & less retirements and leaves allowed. More money spent on tv recruiting ads and sign-up bonuses in lieu of medical care after serving. More National Guard troops sent overseas. Plenty of great ways to escalate!

Will the next invasion at least utilize the Goldwater/Powell doctrine of overwhelming force? Or will the Bush Jr Admin, if we go into Iran or something, give the Rumsefeld sleek/agile force with gradual escalations if the Party loses an election another try?

Sounds like we need support troops for the surge troops. Yay!

No, the worst threads are the ones that are not highly entertaining.

It's one of her long-nurtured gimmicks. You know, the whole 'kids' thing.

I just noticed Leena, the adult around here, posted 52 times already today. That's nearing Choken Hawk levels!

He's like Horatio Alger to your Raoul Duke.

Slayer has really been cracking me up with his *post*s lately. *straightens tie* in the picture thread was nearly as funny as Leena & Chave's herculean efforts in this thread. Not quite, though.

Is the glory of this tournament really worth such effort, chave?

Lushus has really changed his approach to this prestigious tournament since the nomination phase.

This Pit trying really hard/Clique ABC stuff is comic gold.

When will Vyce show up to make his angry stand against The Czech Republic?

Fuck.

There more you post = the more mature you are, kid.

B.O. Magazine! Get it? Hahaha

Wisco/UCLA/OSU/Texas. I might change my mind tomorrow, though.

Gibson makes it seem like the Civil War was some obscure point in our history where the basic facts are still murky & up for his own personal interpretation. Basically, he received a crash course on that time period from a few of the kookier testimonials from GOP folk during the House debate on the Iraq Resolution a couple weeks ago. "Lincoln didnt pull out of the South so we MUST stay the course in Iraq!"

Americans can be so incredibly dumb sometimes. "Hello sir, which of the Democratic candidates do you feel has the strongest character & stance on issues?" "Uh...who's that wife of that one guy? " "Hillary Clinton..." "Yeah. She's got the best stance with them big ol' legs." "Ok...and what candidate do you feel is most experienced?" "Ehh...both of 'em." click
