I hope everyone who went and bought a sandwich to support Chick-Fil-A gets food poisoning. It was a pretty shrewd move on behalf of conservatives though, combining two things Americans love: fast food and keeping the queers down. Possibly  ? You be the judge!

That is nothing but opinion based on (lots of) anecdote(s) though.

Oh, it gets worse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF00qCIGe04 I'm pretty sure that the last fifty times a business declared its support for gay rights or whatever that hordes of liberals didn't show up and make utter tools of themselves. The most that would have happened would be an appreciative Tweet, or maybe a skeptical blog post about how they're only doing it to score PR points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XorKTwkFPDUsome youtube comment posted:once,during civil war in Bosnia, Gaddafi was asked why he did not support Muslims there. And he answered that Muslims who are friends with America, are not his friends. Because of that I admire him. Greetings from Serbia These 'anti-imperialists' are really, really loving stupid. The 1999 NATO bombing campaign of Serbia proper doesn't retroactively justify mass ethnic cleansing of Bosniaks in '92-'95. This was a Thing back in LF and for a while I thought it was just irony. Even Ed Herman and Chomsky have fallen into the same trap though, parroting Serbian state propaganda for cheap shots at Amerikkka or some poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raqOLvjz-E8 Wait for when he mentions Izetbegovic being influenced by the US to pull out of the Lissabon accords before the war. This is literally a re-iteration of the argument that pro-Milosevic idiots use to downplay ethnic cleansing and to make the civil war look like a matter of imperialism vs anti-imperialism (which I guess speaks to naive leftists): http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/bosnia-started.htm Andy Wilcoxson posted:On March 18, 1992, Alija Izetbegovic (Bosnian-Muslim leader), Mate Boban (Bosnian-Croat leader), and Radovan Karadzic (Bosnian-Serb Leader) all reached an agreement on the peaceful succession of Bosnia & Herzegovina from Yugoslavia. This was only the first of three or so plans, both subsequent ones were rejected by the Bosnian Serbs. Every single plan was atrocious and stupid, also. Then there's stuff like this http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/jul/19/not-genocide-deniers-uncover-truth Ed Herman and some Peterson dude posted:In his examination of Srebrenica-related bodies, the forensic pathologist Ljubisa Simic found that in 77% of cases it was either impossible to determine how they died, or death in combat was strongly indicated. Ljubisa Simic works for an organisation called the 'Srebrenica Historical Project'. Its founder has claimed everything from 2000 victims in Srebrenica being too many to support using only evidence from 13 of 80 Srebrenica mass graves, to claiming that the (continuously re-buried to hide evidence) fragmented nature of the bones and other material 'does not allow for any meaningful forensic conclusions to be drawn', etc. Oh and this organisation is supported and financed by Republika Srpska, the political representation of Bosnian Serbs in Bosnia and their geographical-political entity. The most recent and most respected DNA-evidence supports the original 8000+ claim, by the way. There's a lot more. If you look hard enough, you can find interviews that Chomsky gave to Serbian state TV where the interviewer asks him about the 'obviously faked' Trnopolje photograph (or something to that respect) and he acknowledges the interviewer's framing completely. The whole Living Marxism dispute is a great litmus for your critical thinking skills. E: in case I overdid it with the text:  E2: not that it matters but ive recently gotten a bit of flak for this and it should be said that im not drawing a parallel to libya and am not trying to espouse pro-interventionist lines SSJ2 Goku Wilders fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Aug 4, 2012 |

This is an interesting post about (anti-)interventionism, but was it in response to something else in the thread? Gaddafi (and more recently Assad) apologetics are definitely getting old. The US clearly has no altruistic motives in world affairs, but that does not translate into categorical evil.

Gaddafi (and more recently Assad) apologetics are definitely getting old. The US clearly has no altruistic motives in world affairs, but that does not translate into categorical evil. Yeah sorry, might've been somewhat incoherent at the start w.r.t. my reasons. A quick recap: a leftist on youtube favorited that Gaddafi video that I posted. The video itself being laughable (after 3 minutes, count the references to the Rothschilds), I couldn't help but notice the comment by the Serb dude below. I was reminded of the whole Living Marxism/Trnopolje affair. In a nutshell: one western media corporation goes to Bosnia, finds concentration camps, gets interviews with doctors and tons of evidence of beatings, malnutrition, etc. That corporation then takes this picture:  Of Fikret Alic, an emaciated prisoner. It meant a lot to entice Western attention to the Bosnian War. A bit later, Living Marxism, a much smaller paper, published an interview with some Bosnian Serb officials who declared everything to be a hoax and the whole fenced-up prisoner thing to be media framing. Indeed, the fence is one for cattle and such, it's not meant to keep people in. Let me quote a UN report on a different camp (Omarska) which will undoubtedly allow you to understand why such a fence was far from needed: [quote="Final report of the United Nations Commission of Experts established pursuant to security council resolution 780 (1992)"] Logor Omarska was not surrounded by barbed wire or otherwise directly fenced. The camp was however, in the iron grip of three groups of guards - each comprised of 30 men. There was one group of guards in the camp itself, then one group of soldiers some 50 meters outside and another group some 100 metres away from the camp. The last group would reportedly shoot anything that moved. It is said that the two first groups primarily were to prevent prisoners from trying to leave the camp, whereas the third group was to protect the camp from attacks from outside. [/quote] The exact same set-up was used at Trnopolje. There was no need for a fence because you either had nowhere to go, or you would be shot upon trying to leave. My father, a 14-month veteran of various of these camps, confirmed this without bias. However, ITN (the big news corp) sued Living Marxism for libel. The aggravation here is not the defense of free speech, but the various liberals and anti-imperialists like Chomsky defending the far-reaching extrapolations and conclusions that Living Marxism (among others) garnered from what was essentially a re-telling of Serbian state propaganda narratives that have been around since the start of the war by a Serbian spokesman. In an attempt to discredit the US's foreign policy and argue against Western involvement / imperialism (efforts to be lauded), Ed Herman and Chomsky basically copied verbatim RTS (radio-televizija Srbija) propaganda, supported it with unsubstantiated claims from dissenting opinions and Serb 'experts' and touted it to Western anti-imperialists as genuine, trustworthy narrative. Living Marxism is just one example. The conflation between the '99 NATO bombing with the '92 war is another. It really gets on my nuts, you see.

Aisha posted:Don't know what you mean by "the other" quote:A person's definition of the 'Other' is part of what defines or even constitutes the self (in both a psychological and philosophical sense) and other phenomena and cultural units. It has been used in social science to understand the processes by which societies and groups exclude 'Others' whom they want to subordinate or who do not fit into their society. The concept of 'otherness' is also integral to the comprehending of a person, as people construct roles for themselves in relation to an 'other' as part of a process of reaction that is not necessarily related to stigmatization or condemnation. Othering is imperative to national identities, where practices of admittance and segregation can form and sustain boundaries and national character. Othering helps distinguish between home and away, the uncertain or certain. It often involves the demonization and dehumanization of groups, which further justifies attempts to civilize and exploit these 'inferior' others. Those things I snipped were from your article, I think you just skipped part of it.

Just in case all the Chick-Fil-A stuff's got you down: This is a shot of a protest in front of a CFA here in Memphis. And here's the accompanying story from our local NBC affiliate. After seeing tons of photos of fat "christian" assholes lined up around the block to get their overpriced chicken sandwiches all in the name of keeping the gay down, I thought it was rather heartening to see people fighting back, even here in the heart of the south.  Then I read the comments on the website and got all depressed again.
