There are some morbid attitudes toward Israel. Should we support them? Of course yes! Why? Because they’re our ally!!!!
If you’re not concerned with loyalty or alliance, and are only concerned with American interests, you still want to support Israel because they are a strategic hold in a highly unstable and economically critical geographic area. Read more...(342 words, 1 image, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)
Hey Noisy Dove, there’s so much wrong with the world. Where should we start and how should we fix it?
Well Jackass, that’s a great question. We could start with people that ask lofty naïve questions like that little turd of a gem. I mean seriously – how privileged, isolated, arrogant, and over encouraged does a person have to be to ask such an audacious question?

The military suicide rate has always been lower than the civilian rate. Only until recently and I think during part of the Vietnam war has it been greater. As of February 4, 2009 the military rate was 20.2 per 100k and the civilian rate was 19.5 per 100k. LOL And I got that from World Socialist Web Site wsws.org. Wow hu? What’s the military doing to people that makes them .0007% more likely to kill themselves during two controversial wars?????? Such a crisis!!! Whoa is us – whoa – is – us!!!

If you watch South Park – a crude and offensive adult cartoon that makes insightful social commentary – or watch conservative news, you’ve heard of the recent Comedy Central censorship of an episode a recent episode, partially due to a vague threat from some stupid website.

This is an example of one of the worst conditions ever. Parts of the brain that allow a person to move are damaged, but parts responsible for sensation and cognition still function to a degree. It can be hard to diagnose, but this fMRI stuff will probably make the diagnosis a lot easier. As far as the ethical stuff is concerned…we’re standing on the doorstep of a catastrophe in the healthcare system, directly related to rising costs. This condition is rare compared to the number of people who truly become vegetables because of less selective brain damage. I cared for armloads of them at St. Elsewhere. It costs ungodly amounts of money to keep someone with either condition “alive.” Costs have to be cut somewhere. Metaphorically speaking, we either cut mammography for 40 year old mothers with early breast cancer, or we stop keeping vegetables “alive,” even if there is the off chance they have a spark of consciousness somewhere.

I still don’t have much love for the Creationist movement, but this Ben Stein movie is hilarious. It, among other things, follows scientists who were blacklisted for being associated with “intelligent design.” It’s pretty well done. Made me laugh.
There are plenty of words to describe an idiot who is in complete support of a regime, and usually names specific to regime. What would we call the soldiers right now deploying to Afghanistan who voted for McCain? They’re not patriots? Hell, most the soldiers I’ve had conversation with have a list of problems with the Administration (Clinton, Bush, or Obama) – or just don’t give a shit – but either way do their damn job.
