WikiLeaks releases footage believed to show civilian deaths in Iraq in 2007.
The /b/ image isn't serious, it's for fun. It's ok and expected that it is fake. As for the article, a quick google search of a snippet of one of their stories led me to it already being reported on two years ago. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/JI20Ak01.html I'm sure if you wanted to, you could do the same for all of them. Africa is a [cabbage] hole, but we expect more of America, who apparently are there to free the people and stop terrorists and blah blah blah. Agreed about the white girl stories though Yea, American teachings and biases teach the poor quality of Africa so that people expect these things and then feel apathetic because they're dense and they cannot comprehend a person=a live. Plus the African dictator isn't probably going around the world claiming to be the best nation to save all nations and to peacefully bestow upon them lovely democracy while in actuality they censor their own failings (Korean War *cough) and further their own agenda.

Revolution in Kyrgyzstan?
The OSCE said that the media biased Bakiyev so thoroughly before the last election that the elections "did not allow voters to make an informed choice" and simoultaneously that the election was "marred by many problems and irregularities" For OSCE, those are very serious terms in saying the elections were undemocratic. no revolution is peaceful, we just need to wait and see how policy is conducted, and if the country actually becomes democratic before we judge the revolutionists in my opinion That is not revolution worthy, in my area, I think for every 1 or 2 John McCain commercials there were at least 8 or 9 Obama commercials. Then for our gubernatorial election there were soooo many John Corzine commercials in favor of him and defaming Christie, and even Obama made a few in state appearances, he still lost. Bias media is no excuse because media is a private enterprise anyway, however unfair Bakiyev's advantage may have been, it was still legal therefore you can't just overthrow your government in a bloody coup, because the point of a successful democratic government is the rotation of power from group to group is peaceful.

What do you do to relax ?
Ironically to relax I do work. I'm like OCD, organizing my papers and issuing orders for my organization makes me relaxed. Until some idiots has no clue what to do after you've told them instructions and given them all the info. Then I'm just pissed. I guess my last resort to relax is read a piece of literature with an elaborate/unique moral. I'm not a fan of like mystery/fiction, etc. I like Khalil Gibran, Nietzsche, Ayn Rand, George Orwell and currently I'm trying to tackle Mein Kampf, but it is incredibly slow and poorly written.

WikiLeaks releases footage believed to show civilian deaths in Iraq in 2007.
I would like to see an RPG employed as an anti-aircraft weapon.... And what's really sad, is that the day this breaks, all anyone was talking about (at least not here) was Tiger Woods. The terrorists shot down Santa's sleigh in South Park with an RPG so it must be true that one can use an RPG as an AAW.

Real life pictures - 4
I went through the pix of me and my friends when trying to decide which picture I would like to post... It has made me reluctant to post any... the majority of the pictures are pictures of me either with a face full of cake, or dressed up in disguise as an emo, detective, jewel thief, an Arab lord, expeditionary or miscellaneous (including a transvestite superhero...) -.-. I've realized I change costume a lot... I'm not even a theater person... I've learned from my numerous disguises though that people are incredibly stupid. I've gotten store managers to believe that I was a Middle Eastern prince and in NYC a large crowd of my friends chased me around and we fooled people into believing I was a famous French designer. Edit: It's still a bad pic, seeing as how I'm falling asleep on a girl's head but its the most norm picture I could find of myself hahahaha [PS please remove my other picture from the index, it makes me look uglier then I already am.]

university students
I'm not in college yet, but I'm taking Calculus BC for about a month, 4 days a week for 6 hours a day. I did not even have the vaguest idea of doing any extra courses over the summer but there was some mistake that my guidance counselor put me down for Calculus BC next year, and since my schedule was full for senior year he assumed it was a summer course so my mother payed the extra course tuition which is nonrefundable and thus I am forced to take it. I didn't even try to get out of it, my dad would have probably started one of his "Well in my days, I took Calculus when I was 10 blaa blaa blaa my mustache is too big blaa blaa blaa"

WikiLeaks releases footage believed to show civilian deaths in Iraq in 2007.
No. Really? Please elaborate. Never ONCE did he imply that he believed that he was racially superior. Likewise, I'm assuming that you believe that he believes that he is superior because he is American. For your information, 'American' is not a race, nor is it even an ethnicity. Therefore, he is not racist; you misused the term. Please learn what a race is, it has nothing to do with genetic similarities. Example: Many Lebanese and Syrian people are extremely genetically similar, two distinct races. Race is a social construct that has an ideology, cultural pattern or common descent as its core. For Americans their core is an ideology consisting of "Americaness", the American Dream, land of opportunity idea, etc. Although I would say the "American race" core has diminished since after WW2, things like the Social Register defined the finest of the American race, but with the infusion of more non-Anglo-Saxon races, the mesh of American culture is different and the idea of Social Darwinism has almost vanished (I like how American textbooks normally forget to mention Hitler's declarations of what was superior were often similar to America's and if you know of the Battle of Dunkirk you would know Hitler wanted to compromise with the other Anglo-Saxons. Again, Americans censor war to romanticize their heroism or lack thereof)

As I said The entrance to Iraq was vain. The soldiers died for nothing as puppets. They will sadly continue to die until it can be made to look as thought it wasn't completely a lose, and it will just be covered up in history by America just like the Korean War. People mourn the soldiers' deaths yet the civilians are involuntarily being kill for living in the land their family has lived in for thousands of years. I am not anti-soldier, I am anti-stupidity.

My suggestions would be slayer and rc'ing but that's just me. If you have armour, slayer is very profitable. As for rc'ing if you mine your own ess and go through the abyss to make nats its quick and free.

Are going to say that statement isn't subjective? I'm not trying to argue or anything, but I just noticed you said that after you said someone's posts was "subjective as hell." How is that subjective? Killing journalists/civilians is considered a war crime - you know something designed in the Geneva Convention. Try looking into it sometime Dah hur hur what's that, a type of oven?

So just out of curiosity does anyone agree/disagree with my statements made on pg. 2? I would find a response interesting. And by the way people criticize soldiers when they get trigger happy, isn't it a human response to violence to get carried away and when you become [even temporarily] unstable you go on a rampage?

I am an Arab and I find the change of American thought about the war in Iraq to be about the most humorous thing I have ever encountered. 1. Okay, so first you have the people who are like ya, bomb them dumb towel heads they're evil they blew up our towers (please keep in mind Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11). So then all the ignorant Americans, which I would say is at least 25% of the population was like oh ya I think they're right, let's bomb Iran. I mean Iraq. Whatever same different. Yay, killing dumb muslims durga druga. 2. Ya, we caught that crazy bad man super evil Saddam. He caused 9/11 so now all our problems will go away. (Little did the ignorant fools know that the deposing of Saddam caused political unrest for the Christian in Lebanon as well as persecution of Iraqi Christians and Jews). 3. Let's give them our noble and grand democracy! Yay democracy, its the best and only system of government that is good <33333333333 (Ok, so now they install mock elections and really the people in power are theocratic imams with underground power who use their followers to bully around everyone since there isn't an iron fist such as Saddam pinning them. It is also a great chance to get ride of Christians because no one will stop them. Radicalism worsens.) 4. Oh noez, war is soooo bad. America is sooo evil, oh nooooo! What have we done! Oh noooo! President Bush, you're a bad person. Boohoo people died. (What the hell do you expect, when you invade another country there will be bloodshed, or were you expecting a delightful picnic?) 5. The only logical answer for Bush being so evil is that the oil companies bribed him to invade to lower oil prices (Now it is true Saddam had sealed off Iraq's oil sources which in turn raised oil prices, but it is highly illogical to assume the war was based on the acquisition of oil. It was a beneficial byproduct, yes, but not a major objective. The main objective was to spread our wonderful democracy to other people.) Those are the 5 steps through the evolution of emotion of the War in Iraq. Completely stupid, wish-washy and spineless and generally controlled by the mainstream media, but that is like every other American political issue. Personally I was never a fan of the war in Iraq and I feel the "authority" America has to invade a country illegally against international regulation, depose its leader and give it its twisted sense of democracy is more arrogant when the Pope issued the statement in the Investiture Controversy that all princes should kiss his feet and that he had the ability to depose kings, because at least those who followed the Pope did so with an adherence to the religion in contrast to the Iraqis who were subject to unwanted American judgment. The invasion was so popular at first because some Americans were such semite-phobic people were proclaiming carpet bomb the entire middle east, and yet they couldn't find it on a map or explain why it should be bombed other then it had crazy sand n-word towel heads terrorists. This is just like Obama, it truly portrays the pattern of American politics and the mass ignorance of its populace. I didn't like him from the start everyone was like you're a racist. Change, wooo. Now I'm 1 in like >200 million.

What's the deal with book readers?
"A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle." I read this in a book once :mrgreen: So while it is true reading is important, the application of your knowledge is what ultimately counts. I would place the teen who gets B-ish grades but uses his/her knowledge of service to help at a soup kitchen more righteous and just then the A+++ student who is ranked number 2 in their class, stays home and studies all day and is a complete [puncture]oftheneedle. And although I think everyone should read and it does help increase your intelligence, it is in what your knowledge is used for especially in assistance to others which gives it value. And anyone who boasts their intelligence because they read is obviously not intelligent because anyone who is intelligent would come to the realization that they know nothing. Which also reminds me, I don't know why some people find the use of philosophical writings as pretentious, it is sad really. I've been told I'm pretentious and snobby for the application of a philosophical work in a logical argument, when what is philosophy other then a system in which to make things into a logical pattern?

Detrimental Effects of Television
TV like a lot of things, is something very good in moderation. When we abuse our blessings they become malignant things. It requires self control to properly exploit such a beneficial device. But since it is easier to abuse then moderate, children have an attention span of like 5minutes due to that being the increment of time from the beginning of a program to its break, and from a break to the restarting of the program after commercial break. It also damages our sense of creativity as we have all these wonderful flashing colors displayed to us physically which defeats the purpose of using of imagination to conceive such thoughts, etc. As for this stupid soap operas minus the funding from soap operas (AKA reality television and drama shows) are all redundant and mediocre. I don't watch any of these ER or detective shows and they all seem the same. Also, to the susceptible mind they pervert our sense of thought, instilling the disillusions of the validity of violence and bigoted distinctions between persons. As for the idiots who follow the bias medias as their sole-informers, they follow what they say without question which creates a lack of political and intellectual school diversity. For instance in my region of the USA liberalism is so heavily publicized in the media that I was watching an analysis of the need to replace an old court justice who is planning on resigning and the commentator was getting emotional and saying how the Democrats need to fight to install a Democratic justice and then the other people were saying it is such a shame how the Republicans will get 4-6 senate seats at least in November which they then went on to extol the Democratic senators and Sotomayor. Now I'm not a Republican but I wanted an unbiased analysis of the current political situation, not a brainwashing session of how the Democrats are the upholders of justice. The televised media also collectivizes and dehumanizes foreign entities. They were referring to the president of Afghanistan and Afghanistan as one in the same and they were baffled as to why the "foolish" president didn't like the American intervention. Furthermore, television is also used towards a political agenda, as I was watching Nick (I admit it :P) and there was a commercial. It went through the different types of government and it defamed all types of government (as well as dropping a cathedral with a visible cross which demonstrates a sort of anti-catholicism) other then democracy, then when democracy appeared it was exalted and everyone was cheering. The people who plan televised events set agendas from young ages to when you're old, this is not right and it encourages a homogeneous society. Of course there are many benefits, but as I've mentioned its much easier to abuse then moderate.

Egg-streme Management (Easter 2010)
I think the Goblin just represented Goblin culture since I do not know of any culture that makes war cyclically in Easter. As for the man, he represented definitely a European Christian culture which was either Spanish or Portuguese by the etymology of what he called something, I forget what the object was I believe it was the decorated stick. The reference to eating fish made me think Italian but then I remembered i sette pesci is a Christmas thing, so it could possibly be a Lenten reference. Eek was last year's Halloween... Anyway it seems like Jagex is running out of ideas as they are making remakes of old rewards. It was technically this year's Halloween event as it is only April and therefore Halloween has not occurred in the year 2010 yet. However, the Halloween that occurred in the last 364 days was in 2009 which was the Eek one, which makes that technically this year's Halloween award.

What has OT Taught you
I've learned quite a bit through observations here: -many who claim to be open minded are in fact not. -many people would rather take bias media reports as the unquestionable truth especially over witness testimony. -Godwin's law is very true. -Religion in America is a lot like the Scarlet Letter's display of Puritanism. -There's a lot of shock news covered by the media. -The WBC is crazy and should disbanded. -Many people reference socialism, communism and fascism with too much fear and absence of enough information to know what any of them are. -Some tend to incorrectly group people into two groups to determine their intelligence: theists and atheists. -Many things one group will use against another is either a misconception or misunderstanding.

I don't know, I read that and just couldn't stop laughing...
Lol, purposefully? Please, elaborate. I need to know what's going on in your mind. Lol. I think he/she means purposely. They say it was made purposely extremely long so it wasn't readable. I think Obama didn't necessarily have it made so long so that no one could read it, but it was to his advantage so that the Democrats could slip in some unrelated laws that would be disregarded since no one actually bothered to read the thing anyway. Shouldn't that be unconstitutional as it purposely detracts from the main idea of the bill to pass unrelated laws without having them scrutinized?

The Earth is FLAT!!
Izzat so? Scientific proof is created when a hypothesis is backed up by an experiment that can prove this, and can be repeated by anybody wanting to do the experiment. Now the earth wasn't proved to be spherical until the first pictures of it from outer space were taken. In FE's eyes, they say the pictures+everything else is fake therefore making it only a theory :P Aren't satellites saying in orbit scientific proof of the spherical shape of the earth? Because they continually fall while in earth's pull towards earth but since it is spherical they continue to fall around the earth instead of hitting it because of the lack of corners. And I do believe the earth is flat. Near the poles.

Student uses WBC protest to raise funds for gay rights
I rather like the Patriot Guard Riders, I've read an article on them, they react well. If I was governor of where ever their HQ is I'd grant an order and a warrant to the police to dissolve a dangerous cult.
