I'm starting to understand the jokes about following politics leading to drinking.

Can we at least start arming the Kurds directly?:unsmigghh:

I told ya'll a good anti-isis atrategy last year: Make them cry uncle. Show them what we're made of.

We're made of steel hearts and mother's laments.

ISIS attracts individuals because they are angry that their state institutions are weak and do not incorporate them. Rather than founding institutions and compromising those systems in acceptable manners, they join ISIS.

Well, the only way to dissuade them is to show them their place: They can die from above, work within systems, or kill themselves. This is why Obama is weak on ISIS, why his madrasa education has compromised him on the issue. He's unwilling to engage in this fight like a war, like we engaged fascism in europe or whipped the kaiser.

Now that? Using the full firepower of America's arsenal, making ISIS territory resemble the surface of the moon? That's dealing with ISIS in a manner which middle-america can understand.

I mean, let's be real here- this is going to be nowhere near as bad as what happened in Rwanda after the genocide, and the KDP, PUK, and PKK aren't engaging in the rhetoric the RPA was using. So there's that, at least.

Rahm, how can we best ensure the greatest number of dead Muslims while also boosting the performance metrics of our schools? I'm envisioning a program to use underperforming kids from South Side public schools as vectors for biological warfare, can I count on your support lobbying for a WMD facility downstate? A union shop, of course.

We already do this through the military. I would want to fact check this, but the poor and African Americans are overrepresented in the armed forces, especially in frontline combat roles. The military of course only subsidizes post high school educations. I propose that we set up ROTC run charter schools on the south side.

We've tried accomodating them. We've tried troop draw-downs and withdrawals. We've tried compromising our principles.

We haven't tried meeting them where they understand this conflict: As a race war. And you know what happened America fought a race war to win? We nuked some cities.

You can rule by love, or you can rule by fear. Love is expensive, and something which the terrorusts have not for us. So lets make anyone thinking about joining ISIS or its successor idealogies afraid. Afraid that doing so will kill their family and produce no results. Afraid that when we find them, we will castrate them, chop off their hands, and then return them where we found them.

African Americans are overrepresented because race is tied with class and they come from poor areas; especially the South, where more recruits come from than any other region. Probably because the military knows "go to places with absolutely no economy so people are given a choice between:
-years of minimum wage hell (and lucking out on not running up a sudden medical bill/having savings not get eaten up by rising COL)
-risky illicit activities (and lucking out that you don't get done in before you can get out and start a decent life)
getting good enough at a sport to be one of the unlikely few who receive enough of a scholarship to pay for costs and
-the military

as their only possible ways out of the poverty trap and falling below subsistence level. So hey, it's a job with relative amount of job security and benefits, go into some unstable regions to clear out dissidents for us to protect business interests and we'll take care of you, mostly (until you have psychological problems)

ok so i've applied to a couple grad schools but i haven't heard back yet, the problem is that i logged into one of my accounts and one of my professors hasn't sent the recommendation yet, after a month

should i just succumb to the inevitable despair of failure? or just keep drinking and hope he gets it done?

sometimes you gotta get on their asses about stuff because they're busy

also you should have backup recs because invariably one prof will turn out to be a flake
