Probably the Symbionese Liberation Army. Depending on how they count "terrorist acts" possibly also the Black Panthers. The Sterling Hall Bombing and other anti-war actions are probably included.

Some people have been saying to me that they think this thing would be better if I just picked a handful of the stuff and just used that. The problem there is that I have no real clue what you guys will find good. Every week the things that get the most responses from you is always completely different than what I would have expected. Since I'm not a good judge, I figure I'll just stick with bringing across whatever this thread hasn't seen. Anyway, part 2! Meranwhile, in the Politoons thread 5 days ago.... "When the news doesn't purposefully offend innocent people, free speech is DEAD! Now, about how insulting Palin is unacceptable..." Yes, I certainly know that its the people who try NOT to offend muslims that are the REAL Islamaphobes. When will they get the courage to offend people for no good reason. If you object to speech having any consequences at all, you are NOT part of this movement. If they REALLY wanted President Obama at the event they would have loving INVITED HIM! Ah yes, the well known American City of Paris, France. What country is Obama in charge of, again? Oh no, now they'll be able to strike INDIVIDUALS in the US....just as soon as they get there. Aaaaany day now. You guys need the title again, don't you? quote:And our next contestant on [dramatic voice]”Idiot…Of…The…Week”[/dramatic voice] [fading echo]… Aka, the 'True, but against our narrative' section. Ideas from the 19th century are progressive compared to what Conservatives think. What else do you need to say? quote:I’ve always enjoyed posting on message boards, but because I enjoy a nice debate, and too many people don’t really comprehend what a debate is, I find myself often without one to post on. The one I’m currently using (other than a few I run myself) is one run by what would be considered by some, “extremist” Christians. By “extremist” I’m using the media’s definition, which is actually laughable, since other than a handful of nutcases that few people really consider Christians, what the media portrays as “extremist” Christians are simply those who believe the Bible. For those of you who wisely tl;dr'd, here, lemme summarise. "Liberals think we hate homosexuals, but one time, after 9/11, I remember that a small group of christians on a site totally stopped calling a gay man an abomination for a day. So we're obviously the good guys. Also, muslims are total savages, but Liberals never criticize them. And hate crime laws are never used to protect white straight males, so obviously they're completely unfair - how dare Democrats use a rider to trya nd get them through, that makes them scum!" You might be a liberal if you respect international decency and standards more than restrictions on a womans choice. Well, except for the fact that the latter group never gets the word terrorist applied to them ever. YESSS!!!! FEED THE CRAZY EGOTISTS! DO IT!!!!! The Oklahoma City Bombings and countless abortion clinic bombings. Oh, nothing? Thought so. And yet, somehow this didn't apply when a white Republican was in office. Gee, what could have made the law injust now? ...I'm as lost as all of you are, though the title quote:Polls & Other Fairy Tales Makes it clear that Unskewing Polls is back with a vengeance. Beheading is ALWAYS terrorism. Just look at well known terrorist, Henry the Eighth "I mean, there are none in this room with me objecting to it, so CLEARLY none are doing it at all!" poo poo, I forgot it was still 2013. You know Ben Ghazi. He's the closest the Republicans have to a credible opponent against Hilary. Someone mind telling me how this is not a threat against a sitting US president? quote:The man gushed joyously as he spoke of the wonders of modern architecture, it’s purposeful design, ingenious versatility and open functionality. Also, if people can't use your building and need to keep modifying it, why do you think its such a good building? Special guest writer Latuff. Also, Obama sure is like that scary, scary man, Will Rogers.

And of those, only the right wing outrage machine knows what we're supposed to be pissed off about.

One of the dumbest things right wingers have been up to lately has been this idea that "entitlements" means the exact opposite of what it actually means. Like "how dare they call this social security money, which I worked for and paid into my whole life and am therefore entitled to, an entitlement?! Like it's some kind of free handout!?"

And then they have the nerve to call you entitled because you asked and gave them the means to buy what they promised in the first place!

It's probably a normal reaction to recent trauma. I wouldn't hold it against someone that much if they were the recent victim of violent crime. Of course, the real answer is therapy to learn constructive ways to manage anxieties.

Mo_Steel posted:Got this one in my feed too, with someone else commenting on the post afterwards "The teachers comment of adding three at the end would still make this equation come out to 13. duhhhhhhhhh" I kinda get what they mean, since the "then add three" isn't really focusing on the lesson at hand. Asking "once ten is obtained, the remainder is _ and adding them gives __" might have made it a bit more clear that you're putting 3 aside to add 5 and 5 / 8 and 2 to get 10, then using that number later to reach 13 from a comfortable baseline of 10. I dunno, I feel the wording of the question could've been better, but all these hyperbolic posts like "I’m taking loving Calculus and I don’t get what the teacher is trying to do." just really confuse me.

A lot of people are saying that it's getting kids into the algebraic mindset early, and if it had said "Show how to make 10 + x from 8 + 5" I'd have got it immediately, and so would all of the supposed calculus people. For kids of that age that would involve explaining what x means and the whole idea of variables, which would be getting way too far off track though. I can't think of an easier way to put it, maybe "Show how to make a group of 10 from 8 + 5", but I'm guessing that 'make 10' should already have been explained as a unit concept to these kids.

Anyway, part 3. "Not pushing your views on another country or culture? Not a very LIBERAL thing to do, is it?" Ah yes, the famous animal that follows each other off cliffs, sheep. "People need college" "But its too dang expensive" "So how should we fix that?" *Cricket noises* "Which is why it was such a suprise that there were two armed guards." Also, this. http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/gun-group-finds-armed-civilian-wouldnt-have-stopped-charlie-hebdo-attacks Earnest doesn't mean fake sincerity, it means actualm sincerity! Wow, just blatant "No true scotsman". More eating of the closest thing they have to moderates continues. Transgenderism is a mental disease. How's that "we're loving and compassionate" thing holding up? "Who is the GUBMINT to tell us what the facts are our kid should know?" And I note that he cut off just before he pointed out the perect education system came from Persia. Also, because someone was gonna do it, this. "This is for fighting the small imaginary bad guys. This one is for when I figh the US army and win! So stop telling me I'm delusional!" Just the primal id, here. "You don't accept groupthink? IDIOT!" "Like if you think theres a better solution than finding a solution"" WHAT statue of Liberty poem? "And whine every time I encounter consequences!" No, he didn't say that. But he DID say the Bible should be heavily censored and shouldn't be kept in libraries. A position I'm sure Conservatives support. Think of the 500000 unwanted rape babies who went off to die in the Civil War. Apparently LL101 really are completely unaware of how the jobs market is. WHAT SOUTHERN STRATEGY? Once again, the brady people are completely, factually 100% correct. "gently caress THE SICK!!" - Christians, supposedly. And thats another week.
