12, do me a favour please? Consider posting summaries with the links. I don't really click too many link from work, and I almost NEVER go to youtube while at work. Consequently, I often have no context in which to make wiseass remarks in your threads.

Gentlewoman is actually acceptable...from what I've seen (my Google-fu is strong), the two alternatives to gentleman appear to be 'lady' and 'gentlewoman'. 'Gentlelady' is all kinds of fucked though.

Well, yeah, I got that part. What I meant was a specific screening process to check for things like claustrophobia, or paranoia or some such thing. You know, to make sure that when the hatch closes I don't completely take leave of my senses.

Weird. I would've thought that there would be a screening process. I mean, it seems to me like the last place you want to have someone freaking the fuck out is in a metal container 20,000 leagues under the sea.

You spent time in the Navy. I'm sitting here watching The Hunt for Red October. I don't want a dissertation on whether or not it's accurate. What I want to know is, does the Navy administer psychological tests before they put a person on a sub? I'm assuming they do...what kinds of tests?

At the bottom of the story is the following line, "...abusive and threatening language..." (emphasis mine). I'm willing to bet that he didn't get banned from the US for calling Obama a prick. It's far more likely that he made some kind of threat against the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (again, emphasis mine ).

Sorry to hear it, Wunderkind, it's terrible to lose a pet. No matter what anyone else says, I do think it's like losing a family member...pets are absolutely a part of our families.

Wow, xolly, you seem to have nailed it. There's a breaking news headline that the pastor says the burning won't take place if the Muslim center is moved.

In terms of current day grievances, here's what I can come up with off the top of my head.
1. Archaeologists digging up and displaying the bones of ancestors in the face of strenuous objection of the indigenous people. 2. Holy sites desecrated so that someone can put up a building/bridge/structure of some sort. 3. A local example: one of the ski resorts up north creates "fake" snow using reclaimed water...spraying it all over Native American holy ground. It's seen as a massive desecration. As I said, these are off the top of my head. I'm quite sure that if you were to get off your lazy ass and do some of your own work, Google could show you a gazillion other examples. Fuck, you challenge Wunderkind as though you're, well, challenging her. Knock it off. Do some research. Read something. 171

Political Opinions / Re: NOT racism ...|>« on: August 17, 2010, 05:16:54 PM »The hypocrisy I was referring to is that of the media. Whether it's based in political correctness, or based in politics (writing/running stories a particular way, in certain locales, to promote a political agenda). It's interesting you should bring that up. I agree about the hypocrisy, but I've actually now seen an example of what I consider to be a responsible editorial decision from one of our local news outlets. An undercover cop (and two others) got ambushed during a drug deal a couple weeks ago. One of the officers died. The most recent update I read in the local news was that another suspect had been arrested. Near the end of the story the article said that three of the suspects are African-American and the fourth is Hispanic, "and is here legally". They NEVER used to say anything about that. I brought it up to my sister who tells me that she sees it all the time now on the same news outlet. We came to the conclusion that the editorial board is making an attempt to diffuse the state of race relations here in Phoenix, and both my sister and I applaud their efforts. Backstory: Here in Arizona, immigration (specifically anyone who even remotely resembles a Hispanic) is something that almost no one can talk about without shouting...things have gotten very nasty, and if you ask me, there's real violence simmering just below the surface. 173

On a more serious note, I would put forth the idea that many (if not most) tribal-type 'societies' are probably a good example of communism in action without the atrocities. Now, I'm just throwing that out there without ever having researched any sort of tribal, agrarian group in any detail. But, the idea that all of the hunting/gathering spoils going into the community pot and being disseminated from same community pot is the textbook definition of communism.
