  1. Shine on, you crazy diamond.
  2. Women field hockey players = strong calves Can't say I've ever been out with a woman with thighs like that.
  3. What the hell _is_ egg nog? I've drunk quite a lot. But the stuff I enjoyed was basically red wine from Chile. Drunken logic dictated I move to Chile to get cheap Chilean wine. I stubbornly refuse to accept that it is blatantly cheaper to stay here and just buy wine from there.
  4. That was pretty much the attitude of my folks when I got my first knife. And my first (air) gun. "BETTER DROWNED THAN DUFFERS IF NOT DUFFERS WON'T DROWN"
  5. If Sony was prepared to use threats of violence and terrorism, and leak its financial details in order to make money then there are easier ways to do it that would wind you up in exactly the same jail.
  6. I just hang up. I don't see the point in trying to engage cold-callers/sale-callers in conversation anymore, they'll just keep trying to keep you on the line. I know they're just doing their job/need to make a living, but unfortunately, I'd just be a waste of their time, so I cut it short. It's for their own benefit, really. ...today was interesting. And I'm so burnt out. Going to snooze hard tonight. Agreed, I simply but politely express my sympathy for theri plight, but state categorically that I have no interest in any cold call, and put the phone down.
  7. By that argument why gather intelligence at all, if the problem is too much information? Your examples are disinformation, not the same thing is unreliable information. It would be pretty hard to get someone to maintain a planted story when subject to enhanced interrogation. Most intelligence information is unreliable, that's why it is difficult. Lots of people who knew what was going on said that intelligence collected was useful, a politicized partisan report by Senate Democrats who were already on record with their opinions before any investigation was done and who didn't even talk to most of the people involved doesn't prove anything. In this case Zor is quite right. The main purpose of any professional intelligence organisation is not to collect information, but to analyse it and filter out what may be the truth. Collection is left to other people. If it were vital it would be retained in house as a matter of course.
  8. You could go to the park with a bottle of cheap brandy, sit on a bench and pretend like you're playing your PS4.
  9. According to the BBC the Norks don't usually bother to deny actions they like. They have this time. Keep in mind that (iirc) Sony 've been a target for hackers before. They would be a prime target for extortion after the embarassment they've been suffering.
  10. The defence wounds on your junk say otherwise.
  11. What are you talking about? "Fund a Seth Rogan stoner comedy" is a common military tactic. It's not commonly known, but is obviously true that the plan for post Invasion Iraq was actually a pitch for a comedy. Only it wasn't Seth Rogan. It was Uwe Boll.
  12. In some ways Georgia and South Ossetia are the reason we're in the position we're in now. The US gave Georgia to understand it was a valuable friend of the West and could count on support. Russia pushed, and the Obama administration was left looking bloody silly as their promises were shown to be bluff. For the umpteenth time, I can only point out the poetic irony that Obama returned the Churchill bust to the British embassy, because Churchill describes how precisely these sort of woolly reassurances landed Britain in the First World War. https://archive.org/details/worldcrisis00chur To a great extent this discussion has been turned into a farce by the antics of the oby alt. But this is a serious business. The Putin doctrine's intent is very clear. To subsume as much territory as possible into a new Russia, and to forge a neoorthodox Empire. It is the vanity project of a KGB throwback, funded by stolen money. The point is that we have to decide if we are prepared to see Russia go in that direction. And if we are not then we cannot pretend that vague assurances of action are going to be enough to stop him.
  13. It was done to sepoys who revolted. Sepoys were volunteers who were sworn in. I can' think of many cultures that regard traitors kindly. Indeed, most can barely stomach traitors to their own enemies. The only example that springs to mind is the way the Ottomans actively encouraged traitors from their enemies in the 1500s.
  14. Quiet, you. The Russes got Byzantium's leftovers.
  15. Are you mad, don't you know how dirty public transports are? The cadaveric poison stains and gut goo from the hundreds of run over homeless would be incredibly hard to remove from my deluxe sportswear. Oh, and what I did today: repaired my washing machine, it just didn't pump the water anymore. Disassembled it but couldn't really find a problem, after that it worked again. And being strong does have a practical value, I could pick up and lift that darned thing around (full of water) without breaking a sweat and more importantly without asking any of my blasted neighbors for help. Could you just bench the homeless? I know their wretched frames don't weigh much individually, but I can see you folding them together into a gigantic cat's cradle of sad stories, and hoying it over a river.
  16. Suppose you arrive at home and your wife is blaming your new puppy for pooping on the rug, and you tell her that she obviously did it herself in order to get rid of the dog. Yeah this could be a Sony executive conducting a felony fraud against their own company, shaking faith in the entire firm and its manifold products all for the sake of a rather minor comedy. But they would have to be criminally insane. It's totally and ludicrously out of proportion. After the threats of violence they'd be sent to a federal penitentiary on terrorism charges. Or it could be the criminally insane nutjobs running the whackstate that is North Korea where the world's chubbiest god-monarch rules over some of the hungriest people. Get a ****ing grip on yourselves.
  17. Please do, I'm interested in hearing your response. I am fairly confident that you believe Al-Qaeda didn't plan and commit 9/11 but I may be wrong Considering 9/11 has absolutely no bearing on this thread, it sounds like you use that as some sort of litmus test for psychological dysfunction. The Soviets used to do that for anyone that criticized The State. If you didn't like the Soviet system, you were insane and had to be committed. The glory of the Soviet system was obvious, and disagreeing with it was self-evident of western sabotage or insanity. Your insertion of 9/11 is eerie in that regard. ROFL. Well, nearly. I had to sit down. the Soviets also had a big army and universal healthcare, and funded the arts. Oh, and they had perks for politicians and a space program.
  18. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Norks have hit South Korea several times. But this was a premier division hack. I also now understand that demands for money were made first. To me it sounds like a criminal group that is dividing the investigation by the incredibly simple expedient of saying they are from North Korea.
  19. I don't know if what Valsuelm said is true, but he said it really REALLY well.
  20. He's just imagining all the ways he could kill her. He looks the same way at oby.
  21. Or you could grow a pair and buy this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V57fj584Oe8
  22. Or he would be, if he weren't simply posting a bunch of links and images, because he's not just an alt, he's a pathetically inept alt. He can't post more because every time he does the grammar and syntax is inconsistent.
  23. How about you just get knocked down by a bus and try to lift your way out?
  24. The Visigoths burned Rome, but does anyone here actually think Roman civilisation stopped at that point?
  25. A crazy Russian? Not possible. Dude, you missed an opportunity to use the term 'Crazy Ivan', and get a Sean Connery reference.
