Jedit posted:No, it's the right time to bring it up. It's why Charlie Hebdo was targeted, and as such it is relevant - doubly so, considering that had it been one of the thread's right wing regulars who had been killed by extremists, you wouldn't be able to breathe in here for the schadenfreude. Charb was a promoter of Islamophobia despite his protestations to the contrary and he and his colleagues were murdered by people they had denigrated and abused in the name of cheap humour. However, whatever they may have done the important thing is that they were murdered, not "brought to justice", "executed" or any other buzzword the killers care to use. I wish the French every success in catching and punishing those responsible. How is this not the same as saying that we should discuss the clothes a rape victim was wearing (or that she had been drinking, or partying, or walking alone) because "it's why [she] was targeted, and as such it is relevant". E: Please don't make me be on the same side of an argument as WitchFetish.

 Is this a talking point. College is valuable because it isn't free, and Obama's plan would devalue (community) college by making it free and available to everybody.

Gilganixon posted:This cartoon is a surprisingly nuanced reading of the relationship between Western propaganda and military adventurism in the Muslim world. Either that or Catalino meant "Get some you muzzie scum, booyah". I love that cartoon. It's a perfect combination of communicating an unintended message and the unintended message being completely accurate. You can give the American people something that's good for them, but you can't make them accept it.

Bicyclops posted:Uh, if you guys aren't for murdering all cops, then maybe you could propose a solution for fixing the police problem, you know besides "eliminate all racism for social justice?" Really not digging these abstract answers that don't propose actual wins for society. There's a difference between saying "Boko Haram is bad" and saying "the US response to Boko Haram is bad." I can say the first without having the slightest idea what to do about Boko Haram, the second suggests that I have some idea that there's something better the US could be doing.

From the trailer I couldn't tell at all. I'm pretty sure the studio wasn't sure how to market the film (or they deliberately decided to market it in two conflicting ways to appeal to different audiences). Some trailers look like it's a film glorifying the most deadly sniper in US history, while others look like it's about the horrible psychological trauma that war inflicts on soldiers.

Rigged Death Trap posted:The turban is more of a regional thing these days, not Islamic. Yeah, it's not particularly uncommon in Islam as a whole, but isn't as common in Arab countries, where the Keffiyeh is more common. It wouldn't surprise me if Kenyan Muslims like Obama wore turbans though. Fake E: Nope, looks like white caps are common among Kenyan Muslims (maybe among Kenyans in general). Xander77 posted:Is it spelled right? I always read it as "Ha Salam Hu Aleykhum". Definitely seen it spelled as it is in the cartoon, but its a transliteration, so I'm not sure there's really one "right way" to spell it.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Obama is so off-target he's a jobkiller. Seriously. The image makes sense on its own, and the caption makes sense with a different image (if you accept the GOP line that Robin Hood is a bad guy), but the image combined with the caption makes no sense. Unrelated, looks like the GOP is getting an early start on eating their own this cycle (has McCain said anything that would suggest he would ever run again).

Mo0 posted:At least it's not NPR, where a single story will call it "ISIL", "ISIS", "The group commonly known as ISIS, or the Islamic State", "The self-proclaimed Islamic State", and various combinations thereof, all at once. They can't just loving PICK ONE. NPR actually has a pretty clear guideline on this. They call it the "Self Proclaimed Islamic State" or an equivalent phrase in the first reference. Subsequent references are to ISIS, with an explanation of alternate references where necessary (for example, if they are cutting to a clip of John Kerry calling the group ISIL, they will explain that ISIS is commonly also referred to as ISIL). Here's a link to the policy. What's in a name.

 I know I just said this, but god drat Rob Smith Jr. is either a colossal idiot or a deep cover troll. First, 18 trillion is the debt not the deficit. The national deficit was about $483 billion in 2014. Second, the spending is $60 billion over ten years, so an addition of $6 billion to the deficit, not $60 billion. Third, if you give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume he meant debt, rather than deficit, Rob Smith Jr. wants us to freak out that in 10 years the debt will go from $18 trillion all the way to $18.06 trillion. Fourth, why is he subtracting $60 billion from the deficit?  E:  Cpt. Americant and Gravel Gravy.

alnilam posted:Trying... to think... of something that happened between 1941 and 1945.... It actually started before that. In 1937, Obama met with Neville Chamberlain and convinced him that we needed to appease the Nazis and ISIS so that they would leave us alone. Then, in 1941,he stood on an aircraft carrier and proclaimed "Mission Accomplished." The next day, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Obama tried to tax and spend his way out of the war, allowing the Nazis (National Socialists) and their Soviet (United Soviet Socialist Then Reagan personally carried two nuclear weapons to Japan and blew up Hiroshima and Nagasaki while shouting "Ebola Gay" (referring, of course, to Obama's use of Ebola and gay rights to distract people from his failures). Everybody stood up and clapped because Reagan had restored peace to the world. Unfortunately, Obama had already fled to Kenya and was in the process of founding ISIS. And that Ronald Reagan's name was Albert Einstein.

fade5 posted:loving Christ, just look at Zed's (I think?) face; Muir's artwork is just really, really bad. And does the color of his shirt just randomly switch between black, yellow, and dark blue between the panels? In the commercial, the actor puts on a suit in the middle of his speech. For some reason that translates to Zed changing into a flowey yellow blouse in the middle of his speech.

The Iron Rose posted:Not quite - Russia and China can't go head to head with the USN - they can resist US power projection in their spheres of influence to a degree unmatched by the rest of the world, but their ability to project power is significantly limited compared to the United States. Just as a small example of the difference in force projection capabilities. The United States Navy currently has twenty commissioned aircraft carriers. That's more than the rest of the world combined. Ten of those are Nimitz class CVNs, meaning they are full sized nuclear fleet carriers. The remaining ten are classified as amphibious assault vessels and carry fewer aircraft. The Russian Navy has one aircraft carrier, and it's a heavy cruiser build, rather than a full fleet carrier (it carries about 50 aircraft to the Nimitz Class' 90). The Chinese Navy also has one aircraft carrier, and it's similar to the Russian carrier (although it carries fewer aircraft), because the Chinese bought the hull from the Soviets.

goatse.cx posted:That term is factual. I could argue that the term isn't factual, but let's say it is. Is it your position that so long as the statement is factual, it is unbiased? Bias can be found in the language you use to present factual information, and even in the factual information you choose to present. Bruce Tinsley, one of the nations most well known political cartoonists, spoke out against the reelection of Judge [what's his name]. Bruce Tinsley spoke out against the reelection of the judge who once convicted him of driving under the influence of alcohol. Both sentences are true. Both sentences obviously present different biases.
