  1. In the interest of full disclosure... it's come to light that the Jewish Registration flyers are probably NOT the act of the Pro-Russian separatists, and are most likely the doings of an opportunistic scam artist (or organized crime.) http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/ukraine.asp
  2. You lucked out, then.
  3. Also, today's news... http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/21/world/europe/ukraine-crisis/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
  4. What do you mean by that? Regards Trying to make the Jews register? (Even if they're not doing so. because they think it's just provocation.) What do YOU think that suggests?
  5. Am I a bad person for wishing we could have a Saint's Row "Boss's Mind?" I mean, I know the Boss talks and all, and it's already a humor-heavy game. But still. Ross as Boss. Like a boss.
  6. Influenza may produce nausea and vomiting, particularly in children, but these symptoms are more common in the unrelated gastroenteritis, which is sometimes inaccurately referred to as "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu"
  7. And the parallells JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER! http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2014/04/17/jews-ordered-to-register-in-east-ukraine/7816951/ Russia, Russia, UBER ALLES...
  8. rl_ndy61ON4 This is the music that played that one time the Doctor broke through the barriers between Universes, and Starfleet, The Earth Alliance, The Rebel Alliance, and the UNSC got together and beat the crap out of the Borg/Shadows/Empire/Covenant.
  9. How do vaccines cause autism? READ THIS! http://howdovaccinescauseautism.com/
  10. That actually fits with some of the current thinking: that you can't travel backwards within your own timeline, but you could theoretically jump into an alternate that already existed. (It is my argument that that is what happened to Spock and Nero in the 2009 Star Trek movie) But then you could almost certainly never jump both forward and back to your original timeline. My luck, I'd jump back to 9th grade to ask Sarah out, but end up in an alternate timeline where H. Sapiens never evolved. OOK-OOK!
  11. Think we covered this already.. the Maidan fighters were Berkut, under the ousted president, which is why they fled to Crimea. Try to keep up.
  12. Russian TV Propagandists Caught Red-Handed: Same Guy, Three Different People (Spy, Bystander, Heroic Surgeon) http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulroderickgregory/2014/04/12/russian-tv-caught-red-handed-same-guy-same-demonstration-but-three-different-people-spy-bystander-heroic-surgeon/ The Russians really ARE using the ex- Iraqi Information Minister's playbook!

  14. OK, clear. What's clear about that? It's a total cop-out. "Oh, it's all LITERALLY true, except for the stuff that a seven-year-old could prove is wrong, or totally logically inconsistent, so that's metaphorical!" It's the same crap picking and choosing that lets jerks like Fred Phelps rationalize their crap. "Yeah, the New Testament did away with the old law, but there's still SOME (randomly chosen based on the douchery of the speaker) parts that are LAW!" Pin 'em down enough, and it ALL ends up being metaphorical. That's how The God of Love, JC, gets to be a violent psychopath all through Revelations.
  15. Yes, it will. Horseshit. You don't have to believe the Genesis story is LITERALLY true in order to believe in God. Just like you don't HAVE to believe that locusts have 4-legs instead of 6 (they have six, the Bible says 4), or that rabbits are ruminants (the Bible says they chew cud, but they don't), or that bats are birds (Leviticus says they are, but they aren't), or that the Earth was formed BEFORE the Sun (as posited in Genesis, obviously wrong)... ...you just have to be intelligent enough to know that the Bible is NOT a science textbook, and only a nut uses it as such. Because if you go the other way around, you have to also disbelieve in the Copernican theory, because the Bible also clearly says that the sun goes around the Earth - otherwise, Joshua never could have commanded it to stand still in the sky. Are you a Aristotelian Geocentrist? I hope not, because we really HAVE proven that the Heliocentric THEORY is correct. Totally proven. You just ignore (or, charitably, possibly are just ignorant of, do your research!) all the examples, because reasons in your head. Probably didn't say exactly that, if the rest of your facts have the same source as before. But even so, you know that's the thing about science, over a few hundreds of years changes happen (they EVOLVE!) and theories get improved. In the same way we now know that the uNewtonian model of physics was incomplete. Also, just in case you've heard this bit of crap at your school as well, Darwin did NOT recant his writings on his deathbed, or at any other point.
  16. I think he thinks he'll be on TOP in the new crapsack world. Not remotely likely.
  17. Ukrainian investigators are now pointing the finger for the sniipers at the ousted Pro-Russian president, and the Berkut, since disbanded, with many of their members apparently fleeing to Russian-held Crimea. See Vlad meddle. Meddle, Vlad, meddle.
  18. No, the War of Independence freed "us" from neither the Hudson's Bay Company NOR the British East India Company, because they weren't major influences in the US in the first place. East India. In INDIA. Eventually resolved by Gandhi, do we remember him for violence? Hudson's Bay - In CANADA. Eventually resolved peacefully via economic and legal challenges, and eventually Canadian Independence. Seriously, you need to read some history that DOESN'T take place in the USA. The world exists out just a BIT farther. Why do I think you're arguing from a statistical sample of ONE? The US Civil War, and the Revolutionary War, for that matter, are pretty much flukes of history. Civil Wars RARELY replace a bad government with a better one. Usually, they replace it with an equivalent where only the names of the people on top have changed, or a worse one. Reign of Terror, Russian Revolution/Civil War, Iranian Revolution, the various revolutions in Africa and South America in the 70's and 80's... the list goes on. You wanna know a commonality between the most effective revolutions? The ones where things actually got BETTER afterwards, at least for a while? They were bought and paid for by the wealthy. England. Nobles rebelled against the king. Gave us the Magna Carta. US. Rich white landowners rebelled against the king. Gave us the Constitution. Color Revolutions. Eastern Europeans, heavily funded by Western business interests, rebelled against post-Soviet autocrats. Because things aren't frozen in 1866? Except maybe in small parts of the Deep South.
  19. This is also extraordinarily wrong. This may help a bit... assuming you can ignore whoever lied to you when they told you that the language is being redefined. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/just-a-theory-7-misused-science-words/
  20. Dude, you need to sue whoever was responsible for your scientific education for GROSS malpractice.
  21. Um, violence didn't actually solve either of those problems. And I'm just going to interject that I've never met anyone who was EAGER for violence who ended up actually being any GOOD at it.
  22. But the people who say "a theory is just a theory" NEVER have an opposing theory, mainly because they don't comprehend what a theory actually is, and the rigorous path of discovery, study, testing, observation, and evaluation that it takes to get something called a theory in scientific terms. Often they CLAIM to have an alternative theory, but it turns out that what they have is either an untested hypothesis (value: zero), or more often something more accurately described as "a line of bullshit I pulled out of my ass." For example: intelligent design is NOT a theory. "god did it" is NOT a theory. Homeopathy is NOT a theory (of medicine).
  23. "The corporations control everything!" -- some British subject 400 years ago talking about the Hudson Bay and British East India Companies' influence on the Crown.
  24. I encourage it. More resources for the strong.
