William Basinski - dlp 1.3

Yeah, I actually missed their show because I thought they were just another generic hardcore band :cry: Nation of Ulysses - A Comment on Ritual

The USA is a Monster - All the World Leaders Must Die

The Flying Luttenbachers - Sword of Atheism

Heh, probably, but one thing you should keep in mind is that the American system never was formed around a left/right dichotomy. Yes, your politics without a single chance of ever seeing them implemented. Fun, but pointless. The pragmatic solution at least offers the opportunity for some...

Like Pajari noted today's Republicans are a hybrid of neo-cons and religious right insanists, so you'd be hard pressed to find a truly libertarian message in even the most watered down form. Anyways, there's this pretty good article (partly) about the lack of ideological direction in the...

The charter mostly just says a journalist should always report the truth. Are you saying journalists follow these rules just because they're ethical? Who in their right mind would buy the economist if they weren't using factual information as a source? How is this silly? A decision made by a...

Procedural differences don't really make my point any less valid. If the council says "saying A was wrong, please post a rectification" then the journalist can still say he doesn't find A wrong and therefor doesn't find a rectification necessary. The fact that newspapers do cave in, isn't...

Good point, since the entire cartoon-discussion (so far as it is still a discussion about the cartoons) is about generalizing. It isn't theology, as nothing forbids the portrayal of Muhammed, but about portraying Muhammed as a terrorist, thereby generalizing Muslims as terrorists. The AEL...

Sincere question here: aren't all the Gods of the monotheistic religions the same? I mean, Muhammed was told the word of God by archangel Gabriel and Orthodox Jews basically just don't accept Jesus as a messiah. It all seems to me pretty much Old Testament stuff with some culture-specific...

The obvious question at this point would be how some kind of moral knowledge could pass from a metaphysical being to your person. Let alone Muhammed or (pre-holy trinity sillyness) Jesus.

And yet, universal condemnation of murder fits quite neatly within the sociological interpretation of morals. Any society that allowed killing its own would be doomed to begin with. Even a primitive nomadic tribe would soon perish if its number of hunters or food providers fell beneath a certain...

You're overlooking something important when comparing Mohammed and Jesus. Whereas Mohammed was a prophet, a (mere) messenger of God, Jesus is part of the holy trinity. As God defines morality (or is the only source of knowledge concerning morality, take your theological pick), what Jesus did was...

Read the rest of ye olde thread, mate. The yanks already had first strike capability on most of non-siberian russia from turkey, so wanting to be able to torch Miami seems pretty understandable. IN FACT, if you just slightly altered your post you'd get the Soviet reasoning:

Flemish = Dutch, smartass. They just retardify certain words by using the english equivalent and then pronouncing it like it's dutch. A "baan" is not a "job", dumbasses! Nah, I love the flemish. They are usually way more eloquent than the average dutch git.

Huh? No, I'm not saying that. All I was saying, as welsh already noted, that the americanos already had most of the reds in their sights from turkey and that the alternative to escalating the situation and thus threatening the entire world with global nuclear warfare was... not escalating the...

No offense, but lawyers are supposed to be evil. It's simply how the western judicial system works. The lawyer's job is to get his client off the hook, whether he's guilty or not. The prosecutors job is to see the suspect fried. The logic being that evil lawyer + evil prosecutor = justice. That...

Melt Banana - Shield for your eyes, a beast in the well on your hand

Yeah, that and ofcourse *le shock* letting the ruskies place their missiles on cuba.

Holy mother of god, that trailer was so hilariously bad that I almost found TEH ROKC slightly less cool. Almost. Just a guess at what the script of this movie looks like:
