http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/13/opinion/13friedman.html So if I'm reading this right, according to Friedman, we're all hosed unless we either work in social media or are willing to reconsider our jobs/roles every three months. I don't even...

A kid from an area I grew up in was killed by a drunk driver over the weekend. Tragic as it is, turns out the driver who hit him is an illegal imigrant, so bring on the retard brigade to hijack this kids memorial page to rant about everything they hate about "liberals". https://www.facebook.com/notes/justice-for-matt/open-letter-to-president-barack-obama/260604627292885 I'd throw the letter in quotes, but it's so horribly formatted and...well you'll see. EDIT: Couldn't decide if this should have gone in the forwarded email thread or here. Handsome Ralph fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Aug 24, 2011 |

lothar_ posted:Ho no, I'm not going to be roped into another Facebook Retard hatefest. Last time I did was when Japan beat the U.S. in the women's world cup. I spent literally weeks fighting with "lets nuke Japan HURRRRRRR" idiots because my outrage got the better of me. If I'm going to get into arguments with that level of stupid, it's gonna be face-to-face from now on since those usually end quickly. Too late for me, I got roped into an argument with a friend over status updates. Her excuse was that while she's a "liberal and tolerant" person, my referring to them as "xenophobic assholes" was just name calling and wrong. I was then told that I had to understand that they are a small town, are scared about the economy and are grieving and that I had no right to feel that way. I basically concluded it by saying that I don't excuse that kind of poo poo, grief or no grief, and using the death of a drunk driving victim to push that kind of hate language, makes them assholes plain and simple. Some people will excuse any kind of behavior I guess.

http://www.telegram.com/article/20111211/NEWS/112119840 This guy contradicts himself so bad in this piece in an effort to criticize Obama and T Roosevelt. It's pretty funny. Also, who the gently caress uses the word poppycock to title an opinion piece?

Hey look, an opinion piece on Iran by none other than Mitt Romney!A loving idiot on foreign affairs AKA Mitt Romney posted:Beginning Nov. 4, 1979 , dozens of U.S. diplomats were held hostage by Iranian Islamic revolutionaries for 444 days while America’s feckless president, Jimmy Carter, fretted in the White House. Running for the presidency against Carter the next year, Ronald Reagan made it crystal clear that the Iranians would pay a very stiff price for continuing their criminal behavior. On Jan. 20, 1981, in the hour that Reagan was sworn into office, Iran released the hostages. The Iranians well understood that Reagan was serious about turning words into action in a way that Jimmy Carter never was.

zeroprime posted:Wait, so is he openly admitting that the Reagan administration supplied terrorists with weapons, and that he plans to do the same? Reagan was so serious about turning his words into action that he sent over some missiles for the Iranians to try out first.

Well a friend just found this gem... http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/335996/newtown-answers-nro-symposium?pg=1 quote:There was not a single adult male on the school premises when the shooting occurred. In this school of 450 students, a sizeable number of whom were undoubtedly 11- and 12-year-old boys (it was a K–6 school), all the personnel — the teachers, the principal, the assistant principal, the school psychologist, the “reading specialist” — were female. There didn’t even seem to be a male janitor to heave his bucket at Adam Lanza’s knees. Women and small children are sitting ducks for mass-murderers. The principal, Dawn Hochsprung, seemed to have performed bravely. According to reports, she activated the school’s public-address system and also lunged at Lanza, before he shot her to death. Some of the teachers managed to save all or some of their charges by rushing them into closets or bathrooms. But in general, a feminized setting is a setting in which helpless passivity is the norm. Male aggression can be a good thing, as in protecting the weak — but it has been forced out of the culture of elementary schools and the education schools that train their personnel. Think of what Sandy Hook might have been like if a couple of male teachers who had played high-school football, or even some of the huskier 12-year-old boys, had converged on Lanza. Republicans, literally children. Bolding mine.
