God is therefore outside of existence

wuf, get on your soapbox son
Obama: He appealed to generations across the world with his inspiring speeches setting out a vision beyond Bush's insane authoritarian agenda of extraordinary rendition, legalised torture and no habeus corpus.
Now Guantanamo isn't actually getting closed down at all, habeus corpus is still dead, and the UN is investigating whether Bradley Manning's treatment constitutes torture (which it does).
I personally wonder whether the security services have grown beyond the control of the POTUS, and how much the POTUS can actually control foreign policy if this is the case.
I also feel like I've lost faith in Western democracy. I voted for a party, the centrepiece of whose campaign was an appeal to students that tuition fees would be scrapped if possible and if not greatly reduced. Their campaign involved lots of photo ops with signed pledges and everything. They got into power and doubled tuition fees. Even at the young age of 21 I don't think I'll be voting again for a while, apart from for a joke party or for None Of The Above.
Let me finish with a quote:
Wtf happened to Barry?Quote:
Candidate Obama: "Government whistleblowers are part of a healthy democracy and must be protected from reprisal".
President Obama: "I have asked the Pentagon whether Private Manning's conditions are appropriate, and they have assured me they are."
Oh I think the POTUS has the power to do a lot of things, but if he tried, he wouldn't have that power for too long. Voters are so gullible that the politicians who want to keep their jobs have to do what the power brokers tell them.
Here's the breakdown IMO:
The GOP are trying to become the totalitarian ruler of the country by playing incredibly dirty. The Democrats are trying to make things better, but in doing so they feel that they have to give in to most demands of the powerful, "center", status quo, etc.
There are only two ways the Democrats can win nationally. 1) be corporate lapdogs, or 2) be populous heros. Both are relative extremes of each other, and Obama has chosen the former. This means that he's basically Bush without the stupid. In order for a POTUS to choose the latter I think he would have to be willing to go out on his shield AND be incredibly savvy. He would quite literally have to be a hero. Obama has made it clear he won't go out on his shield
The stuff with Bradley Manning is fucking evil. Most of what the US government does has at least a touch of evil. I need to stop caring about this stuff because I'm very empathetic and it makes me feel bad.
I'll be writing in Russ Feingold in 2012. The GOP is scaring the shit out of me though. The new 2010 recruits are fucking Nazis.
There is one thing to be said about Obama though, in some ways he is an excellent president, but those ways aren't really that encouraging. The system is fucked and unrepairable. We all like to live in fairy tales where we think it's at least repairable, but sadly it's just not. You could make the argument that Obama knows this, and is trying to do what's best with that knowledge.
If you said you didn't like basil, I'd have to hunt you down and kill you. For cilantro I'll just remain shocked and confused.
Sweet holy fuckballs.

This is so awesomely bad.
IE just got to 9.
I haven't used IE in years, and I have to say something, they finally got the freaking message. My IE8 browser still has like 6 different toolbars on it which I have no idea when I installed them, as I never used the goddamned thing, but this IE9 is lean and mean.
I like what I have seen so far. Even if they only imitated Chrome (sans the bookmark bar which you can also turn off easily in chrome).
Edit: LOL, I could even install flash and have it run by just refreshing, defacto standard in Chrome but totally absent from IE8 and even older builds of FF if i remember correctly. Awesome job M$!

Gattaca is such a good movie. I've watched it drunk on tv twice in the last 2 months. They don't make movies like this anymore.
~3300 posts (probably close to 10k counting commune) and 0 rep
anyway you slice and dice it, that is impressive. I'm going to be so mad once people start repping me.
The swim scene at the end of Gattaca is better than most movies in general
For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... maybe I'm going home.
ok drunk bigred needs sleep
LOL @ Lukie's reverse psychology.
Nice try, sir.
YouTube - Worst Song Ever? Rebecca Black Responds: 'I Don't Think I'm the Worst Singer' (03.18.11)
Rebecca Black's response to all this fame.
Laugh of the day...
Some Romainan guy sits down at my table. Before he's even posted the blind...
Romanian - "y want to talk to a moderator please"
OngBonga - "click the dealer tray"
minute or two passes...
Moderator - "Hello table. Using profanity when contacting the moderator may result in a chat ban"
I got chatting with him after (obviously the mod saw the funny side), he says he was pissed off with all the bad beats, at his last table he says he got all in pre with AA against AQ and AQ flopped broadway. So he contacted the mod to swear about it. What a fucking legend.
The strength of your table selection shines through.
I have replaced the word "fucker" with "cunter" in my daily vocabulary.
i always knew flobro was awesome
This is a bold move, flomo. I may give it a trial run, but I can't imagine completely abandoning "fucker" and all the glory that it brings.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between bold and stupid. This one is easy!
what!? OK!!!
Lukie: failing at the scribble game since 2007
Which reminds me, does anyone else ever see their posts in old, bumped threads and think to themselves, "Did I really post that?" I seem to do that a lot.
I have never posted anything unperfect
For me it's usually 'wow I'm an asshole', but I'm sure at least 9 out of 10 times I didn't mean for it to come off as such. There are also some 'wow I'm dumb" ones in there too although I think that's a tad more understandable as you learn about things and have more experiences you (hopefully) become more knowledeable and perhaps change your opinion on some things. For example my attitudes on working out, fitness, and diet have basically shifted from bro school to new school.
I took it for granted. As we age, we hopefully get more mature making us react differently to the shit that has come out our mouths at earlier points, particularly the digital kind of shit.

I'm currently on a plane. This is awesome.
Yesterday I lost a pot to some moron so I hunted him down on his other tables and joined queues. A seat comes up, I sit down, blah a few in KK>AJs I win over half a buy in, at which point I realise I'm at 50nl. How did I not notice my stack of $50?
At 25's my KK ran into AA four times last night, and my AA got beat by KK (quads no less), and my flopped set of 33's got rivered by AA (sucked him in beautifully), and my bb flopped straight J7 < sb flopped straight QJ. I somehow finished the night only two buy-ins down. Fuck you downswing, is that the best you've got?
Poker in the commune is apt for 7 years of bad beats
Ok, no poker in the commune, got it. Is it ok to brag about winning at golf the other day? It's only the second time I've ever played, only a crappy par 3 course, but I got 1 birdie and four pars, round of 82.
so much fucking sigh.
fuck you snow and all that you stand for.
ya, i hate snow too.Quote:
Lake-effect snow causes many areas to get in excess of 100–250 inches (250–630 cm) of snow per year—especially in the Keweenaw Peninsula and Gogebic County, and to a lesser extent Baraga, Marquette and Alger counties, making the western U.P. a prominent part of the midwestern snow belt.
What the fuck is wrong with people? Who the fuck doesn't like snow? When we get snow, I run around in a circle like a child. Snow is the best kind of weather.
I also love snow but I'm 100% certain if I lived in a place that had it more than 14 days a year (and where I live now it's more like 2-3 days a year) I'd get fed up with it
Toronto got a bit of a shitstorm yesterday too. I hate snow as well.
I left for Tampa the day before NY got hit...by a teeny bit of snow. Yeah, we're (NY) a buncha pussies when it comes to snow, but at least I'm out!
its more of there is not enough snow to plow and the snow started to melt and then freezed so its too much ice for the snow blower that annoys me. for the nth time this year. or shoveling the really light fluffy snow when its windy and it blows back in your face constantly.
This is the thing though, normally a British winter is about 2*C and involves 3 months of pissing rain, howling winds and lots of snot. When the snow comes, it's awesome because we all throw snowballs, don't end up soaked to the bone every time we leave the house and we all take the day off work, pretending the conditions are too terrible to get in.

TIL: Hydrogen peroxide is good for making your dog throw up. She swallowed a chunk of foam from her dog bed after I took the cover off it to wash it. Intestinal blockage avoided.
Intestinal bleeding guaranteed.
This country makes me laugh when we get snow. OMFG like there's more than an inch on the floor, CANCEL CHRISTMAS. Honestly, seeing our woefully inept transport minister apologise to the nation due to the trains and busses unable to cope with snow is fucking funny. Our airports are usually the first in Europe to close when it snows, while over in Helsinki it's business as usual, despite them having fifteen times as much snow lying on the floor.
I love this country. Once we were important, the largest and most powerful empire to have graced this planet. Now we can't even run an airport in the snow.
At least we have funny guys like Charlie Brooker to brighten up our mundane lives. Here's to you Charlie.
That is the most fucked up and awesome thing I have ever seen, truly random and WAT!

It is arbitrary and clearly subjective as importance is a relative measure.Quote:

No, because if they truly had foreknowledge of your call, your call would happen. Otherwise they never truly had foreknowledge of your call to begin with and they are just making an unsolicited-charged-by-the-minute-call.Quote:
