He's not commending Obama or acknowledging the bombing. Obama recently ask for war powers from congress, so now republicans have to figure out what opinion to have one this (making sure not to side with Obama). Payne, at the very least, hasn't changed his view towards ISIL because of Obama.

I know it's been happening for years, but I can't believe "this person didn't immediately reverse positions when Obama finally did what he'd been asking him to do" is actually a sign of uncommon integrity.

I was out of work for 6+ months around 2012, and I couldn't even get the fast food places to call me back. Probably because I was in my 30s and had been making more at my previous jobs, so they figured I'd bail as soon as something better came along. They would have been absolutely right, but still I couldn't even get an interview, much less a job.

And of course my dad thought that if I just drove around wearing nice clothes with a stack of resumes, and handed them out to every business around, I'd get a job in no time. I guess someone who hasn't had to look for work in 40+ years wouldn't really know how that kind of thing works now.
Yeah I'm in the same boat except I'm fresh out of college looking to go as an RA for grad school (maybe intern with the Geocorps in the Summer if I can beat the 20-30 applicants for the 3 internships I signed up for) and I literally can't get a job at a loving Sheetz gas station.

Thankfully I have a fall back in being an insulator apprentice because of my dad, but I really really don't want to give up all my dreams of being a scientist to work as a third generation union asbestos insulator. Mainly because I can imagine "Oh don't worry just work a year and pay off the debt and then try again for grad school" will probably lead to me being 40 and still working as an insulator and resisting the urge every day to jump off the high roofs they want to send me in. :smith:

Absolutely not? An atrocity is never justified by another atrocity. If I didn't know better, I'd think that you were trying to put words in my mouth. "Longstanding animosity exacerbated by unjust treatment of immigrants between two nations discourages anti-war dissent" is not an unreasonable thing to say. You said that you had never heard of a Japanese equivalent of the July 20th plot, I simply gave a potential explanation as to why and a jumping off point in the Japanese Communist Party if you wanted to look into what anti-war resistance did occur Showa-era Japan.


It's a cartoon thread, so I'm going to mention Barefoot Gen here. Doesn't cover organized resistance, but does portray what happened when you showed up drunk to militia spear practice and called bullshit on the idea that said spear-thrusting militia was going to do anything useful during a U.S. invasion.

Yeah a guy who predicts things with far better accuracy than chance would allow is clearly insane, and the people reflexively assuming a major motion picture has an accurate prediction of how AI would turn out are the sensible ones. :hurr:

Kurzweil is a raving fanatic who monetizes his idiotic "singularity" bleating by selling bullshit classes to equally insane rich, influential technoutopian wankers. Furthermore, his earlier predictions were either obvious to those skilled in the art at the time of the prediction or unfalsifiable bullshit that had as much rigor as a horoscope. He did some great signal processing work and that (along with working at MIT, a place born to cultivate off-the-rails technologists) made him think he had license to fantasize and futurise to all who would listen.

If you really respect a man whose beliefs include taking 150 supplements to make him transhuman or:

He asserts that in the future, everyone will live forever.[56] In a 2013 interview, Kurzweil said that in 15 years, medical technology could add more than a year to one's remaining life expectancy for each year that passes, and we could then "outrun our own deaths"

Well the only actual example of resistance Fulchrum brought up was the July 20th Plot which was an attempt by some Nazi officials at assassinating Hitler and instigating a coup in the hope of negotiating a cease-fire with the Allies, so I assumed that's what he meant. If he meant resistance from the general populace that's even more laughable, because after Hitler's purges in the 30s there was barely a hint of dissent for the entirety of the war.

Is this the part where you try to claim the Red Orchstra, the White Rose, the Kreisau Circle, the Saefkow-Jacob-Bästlein Organization, the European Union, and the Bästlein-Jacob-Abshagen Group didn't exist? Or were they somehow opportunistic and only in it for themselves, so they're not real rebels? Or is it that cause they didn't manage to singlehandedly overthrow the Nazis they clearly weren't trying hard enough and were worthless?

You really are comitted to the idea that there was no significant German resistance, aren't you?

The Post Office

Hard to believe that the Postal service both here in Israel and abroad has gotten slower (and more expensive!) over the years.
Why would you send a letter when you can send an email? or post something on facebook? Or tweet your latest thoughts? So the Post Offices in our countries just can't stand up to the competition. Of course if you want to mail somebody a few Haggadahs this means it costs a lot and takes a long time for delivery. So if you want to get your Dry Bones Haggadahs for this coming Passover, you'll have to order now! The LSW (Long Suffering Wife) mails them out from our local post office here in Israel. And then YOUR local snail mail service takes over! Yikes!
So if you want to make sure you'll get yours in time, you've got to order now! For details go to http://store.drybones.com
