    War with Syria

    Fair. Because that's the one thing his policy did accomplish, and that probably would not have been accomplished without insane threats. But... does that accomplish his stated goals of 0 tolerance chemical weapons use in this war? He already had Assad backed into that corner with the threat...

    True. By the time he's done watching all that other shit though, it'll probably be 4 seasons! Not that I'm complaining, because he does it well, but why does Spacey seem to always play a Southern Gentleman when he plays American? He's not even southern! Maybe he just likes the accent.

    Either it's the angle he's facing or he's not as gaunt. It's been a few years, he put on a couple of pounds. And I do mean a couple... dude looked like he weighed about 90 sopping wet to begin with. +5 would be noticable in his face. Or it might just be the way he's standing. Seems like a...

    Add House of Cards to that "list of shit worth watching". Only 2 seasons but its top notch everything. Writing, Acting, Production.

    It's a lot of fun to make fun of online dating -- but the truth is it's perfectly fine. You've gotta meet people you don't know some way, and it's indeed a way to meet people. It's a system of introductions. Tecbro I think you may be the most socially awkward of us all. You're just the guy...

    Breaking Bad

    The problem with Saul is that while he's entertaining enough as a support character... are you really going to make a show about an ambulance chasing semi-connected shitbag of a lawyer? It's just not that interesting. Every scene will be a Skylar scene that ends with Saul spouting out some...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    That was a one time deal. Basically Brad was selling his reputation. He still has a reputation and he'll still get that initial investment, but it won't be 250k worth. It makes a lot of sense. Without Sony Brad is reduced to kickstarter status. And honestly that's probably a good thing...

    It kinda sounds like he did. It's always great to find a stupid little pun in super srs literature. Makes it even better.

    The funniest beating I ever took was from a 2nd generation chinese christian I was dating at the time. I remarked that if Christ was born to live as Man, it is not unreasonable much less heresy to entertain the thought he took a wife during his life -- as this was and is an integral part of...

    War with Syria

    So I mean I don't get it. American flops it's dick around, goes seriously aggressive, threatens to blow some shit up, Assad says, "If I give you this will you not blow me up?", America says "Yeah -- we don't really want to blow you up". And this is America winning? Was it a contest to see...

    Actually, you're factually wrong. Even intellectual evangelicals (a group I'm sure you would consider to be the dumbest Christians) become obsessed with the Roman influence on Judea. Earnest ministries require their speakers to have at least a passing knowledge of contextual history. This is...

    But you're not talking about here and now. You're talking about 100-150 years ago. Marx is a historical entity making what amount to historical observations and analyses. And history isn't important. It's like Christians claiming that the social and political frictions of Rome weren't...

    I assume the revolution in hunter-gatherer terms would be going to where the fucking food is and the lions aren't. I'm not educated in it, but I assume there wasn't enough basic resource stability in those societies to engender what we think of as revolution. There is one way of thinking and...

    They do look an awful lot alike. If you shaved an arab and put a funny hat on him would white people be able to tell the difference? I think not. I'm a little fucking fuzzy on this whole "Persian" thing to begin with. Isn't that like calling a mexican a spaniard?

    Best mind blowing movie.

    Oh, I just remembered one. The Ninth Configuration. It's a movie starring Stacy Keach and I think directed by the dude who did the exorcist. It's not a plot twist sort of movie, but it is kinda mindfucky. It's about an asylum of veterans -- some legit crazy and some that klingered it out...

    I don't know how Hodj will answer, but that strikes me as an honest question. My honest answering question is at what point does an -ology degenerate into pure abstract bullshit? I know it's bad form to answer a question with a question. Sorry about that, I am not good at computar. It seems...

    NoWar unless Obama decides that he'd like to be remembered as "The Darker, Dumber, George Bush" Otherwise he's done 2 very important things: He's diverted attention from the mounting scandals that were plaguing him and he has united national opinion against purposeless warmongering lunacy...

    Zimmerman stands his ground against wild moose.

    The only men that feminists need to protect them are the ones with badges. Down with the patriarchy. If they realized how much mindless machismo runs through police and fire departments (and why not? Firefighting is manly as fuck, so is shooting bad guys pew pew), they'd probably decide to...

    All he really needs to do is make it illegal for Russian women to turn 27. Even the ugly ones are pretty cute when they're young, but the closer they get to 30 and that scarf goes on their heads... potato time. He probably also needs a measure to combat whiskey dick. Of course Russians...

    War with Syria

    You should probably also bear in mind that Putin has been systemically squashing contrarian journalism. At least if you believe NPR and his own courts. So it's kinda like... yeah, but... Stalin had high approval ratings as well. Not that I see Putin actually took any hits here. He fended...
