Comment on Egypt In Chaos (2011-01-30 03:33:10)
The Iranian Revolution was started out as secular and democratic, but the Islamist quickly seized power and promptly executed all the secular and nationalist leaders so they wouldn't have to share power. The revolution was suppose to rid Iran of a corrupt and some-what oppressive monarchy, but what the people got has been much worse from the beginning. The average Iranian is a relatively well educated and rational person, but they couldn't stop the Islamist from brutally taking over, so I don't have much hope for the Egyptians improving their situation. It's not easy arguing at a barrel of a gun held by religious fanatics with nothing but a sign in your hands.
Comment on Julian and Mark (2011-01-21 15:22:45)
Here I thought Julian Assange was a villain for hiding from those rapes he's accused of and Mark Zuckerberg was a "Man of the Year" for providing a website that half a billion people use to stay in contact and by giving $100 million dollars to New Jersey's school. What a minute, like me get my conspiracy hat on ... ok there ... holy crap you're right! It is about those evil, international corporations and Zuckerberg does have a weird neck/head appendage, those bastards!
Comment on Nobel for Manning (2011-01-21 15:03:32)
Well, I tried to be nice. I guess you haven't matured enough to be civil when a "bitter old man" tries to make amends. Good bye.
Comment on Nobel for Manning (2011-01-21 10:55:23)
I didn't know "gay" was now a bad word, may apologize. As for my history of empathy you don't have a clue, but it's easy to lie on the internet and I will not try convince anyone of something almost impossible to prove. My (or anyone's) comments here are MCS may not correctly convey my (or their) sincere feelings, due to the site's limitations. I'm sure you are not really an overly sensitive, egotistical, elitist bitch that your post make you out to be. I'm sure you are a very decent person (really).
Comment on Nobel for Manning (2011-01-20 20:07:15)
I think I traded in my empathy when I carried a dying little Afghan girl to a medic after she was shot numerous times on purpose by the Taliban. But I suspect, you wouldn't understand, so I won't it against you. I wouldn't want anything as bad as that to happen to you (both my experiences or the little girls), even after your hurtful words. Hay, it's just the internet, where everyone can be jerks, right?

Thanks Atkinson and Tiki for providing another nice wallpaper.

Do you know what really is revolting? Brussels sprouts, now they are revolting.
Comment on Nobel for Manning (2011-01-20 10:48:23)
His gay lover left him and in a hissy fit he gave away over 250,000 un-read documents he promised to safe guard. I would think the Nobel was for better aspects of human nature than jealously and bitterness, but than again Manning at least did something.
Comment on Something is smoking John..!! (2011-01-20 10:21:10)
I think that is a steam powered car, which is totally sweet.
Comment on freedom vs terrorism (2011-01-11 14:22:35)
The people who don't understand what kind of real danger Assange has done to you, your children and anyone you care about has no understanding of the realities of the world, nor will they change their opinions reading comments in this website. With that said, I don't like airport security at this time, but I have the freedom not to use commercial airlines.
Comment on Chengdu J-20 (2011-01-07 22:36:42)
Looks don't mean shit, even more so in "stealth". The problem with "stealth" is if you get one fucking little thing wrong in the angles or a small nick in the skin (like a mechanic dropping a screwdriver) than the radar cross-section balloons to the size of an elephant, and thus it becomes just another piece of junk Chinese fighter.
Comment on Choose your Alignment (2011-01-07 18:11:59)
An oath is just an affirmation of something sacred to the oath taker, it doesn't require any god, christian or not. As for what "protects and upholds the entire constitution nowadays", that is not a branch of government that has the responsible, but people. Actually, it's all of us as individuals whose responsibility is to protect and uphold the constitution, because as soon as you let someone else have that responsibility than that is the day you have lost it.
Comment on Choose your Alignment (2011-01-07 17:59:17)
I do agree with your statement, but if it took a war to end the shame of the slavery (which was a compromise in the first place to secure a fledgling nation) then I agree with Lincoln's actions, because in a imperfect real world, the ends always justifies the means.
Comment on boa guards give you the middle finger (2010-12-16 10:53:03)
Just simple men, trying to make their way in the universe.
Comment on now I am death (2010-12-16 00:11:54)
As much as Oppenheimer had such a large part in developing the Atomic bomb, he was just one person in a very large team. Alfred Noble, on the other hand, solely developed Dynamite which has destroyed more structures and killed more people than all Atomic weapons combined.
