4/9     I'm supporting the efforts in Iraq.  However, do you think the
        U.S. media is underemphasizing civilian casualties and
        underemphasizing the grieving families of the casualties?
        \_ Underemphasizing civilian casualties and INSTEAD showing
           grieving families?  That's a strange dichotmy, because I've
           seen both in the news.
           \_ I meant underemphasizing both civilian casualties AND
              showing the grieving families. -op
                \_ your clarification is suck.  You need to use
                   underemphasizing twice so it is clearer.
        \_ No.
        \_ Yes, unquestionably.
        \_ I don't know about underemphasizing civilian casualties, but
           they sure as heck are over emphasizing the press casualties.
                \_ are you the guy from earlier?  what's your deal?
                   you get raped by a paperboy in junior high? - danh
                   \_ Yes, yes, It's all true!  Why me? WHY?!?!
        \_ Yeah but those are brown people. There's lots of them...
           \_ there are lots of "brown" people in America and in the U.S.
              military.
              \_ Yeah, but they're *our* brown people.
        \_ Do you think the media underemphasized the grieving families of
           those killed in 9/11 at the towers and the pentagon?  I think
           the media has done just fine making Iraqis into real human beings
           while making dead American civilians and military into body count.
           \_ are you trying to draw a link between iraq and 9/11?  Troll boy.
              \_ No, I'm showing you how the media treats Americans as body
                 count but people from other countries become real human
                 beings for some reason.  This is a knock on the American
                 hating media, not a trollish link.
        \_ U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!!!

        This week's food for thought, brought to you by People's
        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

3/26    Things I learned from History: Lincoln was photographed with
        killer. Lincoln had 3 male lovers (he was bisexual!).
        Kennedy had an affair with a Nazi spy. Elenore Roosevelt
        was a lesbian!!!  Nerdy looking Ben Franklin was a suspected
        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???
        \_ Did it mention anything about Washington and the cherry tree?

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        http://www.csua.org/u/sl0 (news.yahoo.com)
        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.
        \_ When we fight with Red China, what nation will we use as a proxy?

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

        \_ WOW that is TOTALLY AWESOME. I'd love to see a porn
           of this genre. Asian. Lesbians. Military. That

           \_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.
