When you return from space deployment, you forget you don't have zero g anymore so you keep dropping poo poo in midair instead of setting it down.

So apparently trying to understand world religions sparked outrage in Virginia so much that it literally shut down districts.

I mean, when I had to suffer through in-school prayers or dumb poo poo like this, as an atheist, you get told to just put up with it. This is doubly dumb, though, because you literally cannot practice Islamic calligraphy without drawing from the Quran because that's why it loving exists -- drawing pictures was considered idolatrous and so artists made a style of calligraphy that is GOD IS SUPER GREAT THIS IS NOT A PEACOCK PICTURE JUST QURAN VERSES to skirt the rules and celebrate Allah.



How old are you that this was still going on in your school? i remember going thru that as the only atheist kid probably in the school, but that was 1960.

So the space marines are used to invade planets from space navy ships? What about when they need to attack an island in the middle of an ocean? Do the space marines have a navy? The space marine navy needs the ability to conduct amphibious assaults. Does the space marine navy have marines? These marines needs to be able to operate as an independent force with their own chain of command so obviously they need air support. Of course then the space navy's space army's navy's air force needs its own means of orbital support...

What I'm saying is the future is going to be amazing for defense contractors.

FORT STEWART, Ga. — To mark the end of Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April, the 188th Infantry Brigade held a potluck luncheon here at the largest Army installation east of the Mississippi River. The deputy commander reminded his soldiers they were all “responsible for bringing an end to sexual assault and harassment,” according to the brigade’s Facebook account.

What most of the soldiers didn’t know was that the deputy commander, Lt. Col. Michael D. Kepner II, was himself facing court-martial on charges that he had sexually harassed and assaulted a female lieutenant on his staff

I went to school in the 90's mostly in Texas, so it may as well been the 60's imho. Being in ROTC, band, and sports you got a lot more group prayer though, so I was just exposed to it a lot, and I didn't want to be rude; it was definitely kinda obnoxious but I learned through exposure that religion and prayer was mostly well-wishing and not passing my eternal soul unto Lucifer, so I let it go.

southern Oklahoma here- I could have guessed Texas or Deep South. The Lord's Prayer was a thing each morning in homeroom, and I DIDN'T KNOW THE WORDS, so being 9, you lip-synch along so as not to be the freak. Then when I learned the prayer, I recall in order not to feel like a total hypocrite I had to make a mental deal with God that went like this:

"God, if you are there, you know I'm an atheist, that's what my folks believe and they're the smartest people I know. Cut me some slack, eh? I'll figure things out more maybe when I grow up. The end."

My friends felt so bad for me straight ticketed to hell for ETERNITY, they tried to invite me to their churches...you know how that goes.

when I was 10 my cousin, who was going to a christian school (which i think was just a cover for a religious cult), told me that I was going to hell.

to be fair, she was probably right, but that's not something you tell a 10 year old.

i went to one of the church services they had one night. and the pastor, pastor baker was his name, had us close our eyes.

"anyone who has ever done anything bad, raise your hand..."

i raised my hand. i was 10, and 10 year olds do dumb poo poo and i was self aware enough even at 10 to know that. and then he finished what he was saying.

"... if you think you are going to hell."

he told my cousin, who in turn told my aunt, who in turn made me have a sit down with pastor baker.

pastor baker is one of the main reasons i am not religious.

As has been already pointed out, it's the Washington Times. It's basically the NY Post, and I'd be willing to bet money that every single piece of that article was made up.

Given the fact that the only "media outlets" covering it are the Wash Times, NY Post, Red State, and a whole bunch of even worse right-wing "news" media.....yeah, the whole thing is made up.

What is the preoccupation here with poo poo that happens on college campuses where none of us attend? Those stories are outrage filler pointing out how stupid college students are, something you can ddiscern from talking to one.

That said does anyone here know anything about CISA? I've read some grumbling about it but it looks like it just standardized practices that are already in place between the feds and telecoms

Yeah when it's something actually newsworthy, like the Duke lacrosse boondoggle, the UVA rape thing, or the "trigger warning"/safe space bullshit making its way into the classroom, then it's worth getting fired up about. The rest of them basically boil down to "18-22 year olds/college students are idiots, news at 11."

I don't know enough about CISA yet to have an informed opinion but the fact that Ron Wyden is losing his poo poo over it while Dianne Feinstein was one of the bill's sponsors doesn't exactly fill me with optimism that it isn't a steaming pile of poo poo

This one's pretty good.

tl;dr - SEALs join the ALP they're "advising" in torturing and beating a detainee to death, NCIS substantiates the claims, O-5 in country sends them back to VA to face charges.......at which point their O-6 decides to not bring any sort of felony manslaughter or assault charges, only failure to report the ALP's abuse and decides this is an appropriate matter for Mast (as opposed to, I don't know, an Art 32 hearing and a GCM) where he dismisses the one charge and issues non-punitive letters of instruction. Everyone involved is still a SEAL.
