Anywho sailing around the world in a dingy would be impressive, if there was a reason to do it. There isn't.

My dad once ate fresh monkey brains, this was in ye olde days before anyone had heard of AIDS and trans species transmitted diseases. I dunno, I can think of healthier tests of manhood.

Well you could make that claim if there was an agreement between ants and spiders, since there isn't the spider has merely seen an opportunity and is pursuing it for the betterment of the whole system, after all lax security needs to be pointed out before it can be improved.

Depends on whether you can 'own' the tree, if you can ownership clearly belongs to the ants who guard it and take care of it, whereas the spider is merely a parasite to the system, taking advantage of lax security in the higher leaves. If ants are anything they are Communists, surely. Pyramidal structure, no one comes before the collective, no individualism etc.

DWWAAAAAAAA! I mean.... AHHHHHHH! The damn thing even smiles. AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW what, it's adorable

I'm currently pretending to work, which is a lot more stressful than actually working.

I get what you are saying, but on the other hand it's not like the rest of the Muslim world constantly has to apologize for not being crazy.

I don't particularly care about any of the characters, the main guy in particular seems to sport a perpetually wounded look that just pisses me off, I feel like smacking him in the face to shake him out of it. yeah so he used to be a drunk, buu-huu.

In the 60 and 70 it was something you smoked, now it's more sort of an all purpose noun.

You lot just catch more **** because of your superpower status, which by the way would have been the case regardless of who had that position. That should read "You lot just catch more **** because of your superpower status, which by the way would have been the case for whoever happens to have that position."

The report is based on a questionnaire sent to partner organizations of Reporters Without Borders (14 freedom of expression groups in five continents) and its 130 correspondents around the world, as well as to journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists. Just to be clear they are professionals with an interest in freedom of speech, not some random group of people with an axe to grind. I imagine the main problems in the US have to do with national security issues, I recall several high profile cases where journalists were forced to reveal sources, and a general fear of lawsuits among the big publishing houses, although this is hardly unique to the US. Controversial investigative journalism has had a hard time this last decade as news outlets are pretty much only about making money and not so much any more about fulfilling their part in the system of checks and balances.

I like how everyone blacking out for 2 minutes somehow equates with fires, explosions and fallen power lines everywhere. Sure, everyone who happened to be driving would be in trouble, but it would hardly be the vision of the apocalypse the show proposed. Passenger planes already in their flight lanes would be on auto pilot.

It's going to sail into those contested Taliban areas in Afghanistan.

In the food industry they just work their magic and turn it into sausages or animal feed.

Too bad you can't build ships out of cement, imagine an aircraft carrier made out of bits of the Berlin wall.

Wow ! This was on the same page as your link. I dunno, shrubberies are overrated. We have learned to live with pigeons and ducks and such, why not rabbits. A steady supply would do wonders for the fox population. Nature is not just that stuff out there in the wild, there is no wild anymore.

Beware Islamic imperialism.

perhaps even a year Bwhahhhahahhahahha doing aid work I misread that as 'doing acid'. Either is an eye opener I guess.

Don't you see, I have proven, by LotF's own logic, that invading Iraq was justified.

I know I'm going to regret this because engaging you in any serious discussion is the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience, but I betting you would be one of the ones to argue that the attack on Pearl Harbor was justified. I'm curious, do you think Nixon would have been justified in attacking OPEC nations in 1973? Or would Carter have been justified for attacking Iran in 1979? ... or Bush for attacking Iraq in 2003. *Ba-dum Tish*

But the consequence of use is always there in the back of the decision makers' minds, that's the whole idea behind calling it the ultimate deterrent. It's why everyone wants them. I don't think Johnson or Nixon would have be as meticulous in their political signaling, or been as reluctant to engage the north without it.

Those tanks weren't that great to begin with, they just built more of them than anyone had ever done before.

But the Japanese regime did want war. They invaded to Korea and Manchuria to 'protect' them from colonial powers, well knowing that that was exactly what they were themselves. Unless you buy into their propaganda, but I don't think any reasonably intelligent person ever has. The envisioned greater Japanese empire certainly wasn't going to come without one. They thought they could force a peace after a quick campaign in the pacific, but that's how wars go, easy to start, not so easy to end.
