7/24    To the germans are idiots dude, look what americans thing:
        30% say the Bible is the "actual word of God" to be taken literally
        26% thought various disasters in 1999 might "foreshadow the
            wrath of God"
        28% say the government should have the right to control news reports
        20% believe that the killing of civilians in Vietnam was
            "relatively rare"
        Among others.  http://www.pollingreport.com/random.htm for more
        The thing is 20-30 percent of people anywhere hold ideas that to
        you are total whack and could be used against them in an insanity
        trial.
        \_ 20-30% percent of Americans think only Germans believe stupid things
        \_ Is that the same 20-30%?  Then  perhaps it's the stupid 30%.
           I mean, average is pretty dumb, and if these people are the bottom
           30%, then they're really dumb.
        \_ 8% fear they are "very likely" to be shot or badly hurt by a
              stranger
           \_ You know how many live in a place 'less nice' than you do?  They
              have a very reasonable fear that it is very likely they will be
              shot or badly hurt by a stranger.  We didn't all grow up behind
              tall pearly white gates with guards.
                \_ funny neither did I
        \_ 34% think the US has found WMD in Iraq (55% of Fox viewers)
           22% think WMD were used against US soldiers in Iraq
           people decieve themselves to believe all kinds of crap all the time
        \_ 30% maybe it is? 26% maybe they do? 28% of course it does.  start
           writing false reports and a paper can be sued for all sorts of
           things. 20% it's a meaningless term.

        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.

2/16    "Iraqi: I'm proud my WMD lies led to war in Iraq"
        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

9/24    Toture is what gave us the false info on WMD and Iraq.

7/20    Is jblack still on? What about the rest of the pro-war cheerleaders?
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100720/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_iraq_inquiry
        \_ 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
           is just awesome.
           \_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.
