Just saw a meme on Facebook saying we've been at peace with Japan since 9-Sep-1945 and that it's time to make peace with Islam. Yup. gently caress.

Is anyone else surprised that Massachusetts, the land of Elizabeth Warren and only one that voted for McGovern, wants to ban Syrian refugees? Can someone who lives there comment on this? New Hampshire and Maine, sure, they're backwards states, but I thought Massachusetts was a little better than that (a little bit).

It's also the land of Mitt Romney. Not In My Backyard-ism poo poo now applies to human beings  This all just further supports the case that reality is no longer imitating Foundation with Donald Trump as the Mule, it's doing Infinite Jest with Donald Trump as Johnny Gentle, running on a platform of cleaning up America. Negotiations about the construction of the Great Wall of USA/Mexico will lay the groundwork for the formation of ONAN during Trump's second term

Most of Massachusetts is actually rural redneck utopia (and so are the suburbs to a certain degree), it's just that the population of Boston is big enough to pull the state left. And not even Boston per se, you're talking about a city (and state) with a strong history of a business class and conservative puritan upbringing, and up until the 1970s was like 80% white. But it just also happens to be a very large university town that can literally pull the entire state left.

Many of the people from their lovely racist past are still alive. On the plus side, Boston's Mayor appears to understand what #BostonStrong was actually about and is willing to accept refugees if the government places them there.

Isn't rejecting refugees a great way to piss off the coalition we have going in the Middle East? France is going to intervene no matter what, but it's not the only country in NATO. Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan are also all now full of them.

AegisP posted:The loan forgiveness for 80,000 of its studentsl seems to be the more significant part of this deal, which is quite encouraging. That generally happens when the government shits in the mouth of a for-profit college. Those entire companies are scams where they sign people up who they don't think will be able to finish and then keep all the federal aid they get. The diploma you get if you do finish cost you $100,000 and isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Luigi Thirty fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Nov 17, 2015 |

Luckily, there's a thread just for this topic! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3725584&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=13 If you don't want to read that thread (hint: don't read that thread), it appears that the initial leaks were at least somewhat overblown or offbase. Past that, it's a bigass document and there's still a substantial period of time before it comes up for a vote. EFF appears to dislike it, but while I respect the work they do, asking their opinion on this is like asking Lindsay Graham about an invasion or Donald Trump about a young Eastern European woman. There are some elements that are likely to have slight negative impact to the US. Early reports are a mixed bag for other signatories. Not surprisingly, given the intent of the pact, China gets hosed. crazy cloud posted:
If it helps, everyone involved says that it was horrible timing and a horrible angle on the photo. Apparently, the attacker was swinging the flag at his target rather than trying to impale him. (I don't think that makes it much less horrible?)

Grouchio posted:I mostly worried about the copyright implications that could stifle the japanese media industries. Initial reports has it bumping term up to Life+70 years for countries who weren't already on that level, including Japan. That's the same term as the US, EU and Australia. Again, past that, we'll have to see. Hollywood's put up big money lobbying on this, so if your sole concern is foreign media innovation, you'll probably not be a huge fan. crazy cloud posted:That does help kinda, thank you.

Man, what is up with Bill Maher? He seems to be getting more crotchety as he gets older. He was on Colbert tonight and absolutely trashed Colbert's Catholicism. Yes, yes, Maher's super anti-religion, that's his main schtick and all, but he would show some sense of cordiality when he was on another person's show at the very least. And on last week's episode, he keeps bringing up these inane strawmen that the left doesn't attack the lovely things that radical Islam does like female circumcision, and killing the gays cause of "political correctness". Like, seriously Bill? Seriously?

The trick here is to recognize that Bill Maher is not only a crypto-bigot with anti-scientific ideas, but also a hack comic whose one-liners would have been outdated in the 70s. Toss him in the garbage pile and don't look back.

This applies to a lot European groups too and it's not an excuse. Ayn Rand had everything taken from her by the Communists and her reaction was gently caress everyone else. She was a terrible person and so are these people. If anything it makes me less sympathetic if this is how some of them treat the weakest among us. I know it's a minority of Cuban immigrants I'm just pointing out that I'm starting to have zero sympathy for that minority
