Anyone who has enough interest in this article should have enough interest in this video "What Francis Really Believes" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvjmveYw0tE

If everyone was in a cage there would be no terrorist activity.

The Frontline is pretty interesting. The US military left hardware including vehicles and weapons undefended which ISIS simply took. Then some time passed and ISIS decided to attack an oil town in the north that the military actually cared about. A fighter jet was deployed - the pilot hit a button that deployed smart guided missiles - and that was the end of that idea. Not a threat to the US. But some soldiers raping people and chopping peoples heads off.

>So if they had Chinese food buffet, would people also call it racist?? If it could be used to hate on "guilty" whites, they certainly might try it.

"Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?" by Viktor Suvorov

Isn't that the nature of a group - it needs to have boundaries that define it both the positive and negative sense (eg. people in our group support X and don't support Y). Otherwise the group or culture has no boundary and therefore includes everyone and cannot be considered a subset.

The reason they banned youtube is because the evidence was on youtube. You need to re-evaluate your assumptions.

The first time around it didn't get adequate attention in the US media.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ban of YouTube occurred after a conversation was leaked between Head of Turkish Intelligence Hakan Fidan and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu that he wanted removed from the video-sharing website.

The leaked call details Erdogan's thoughts that an attack on Syria "must be seen as an opportunity for us [Turkey]".

In the conversation, intelligence chief Fidan says that he will send four men from Syria to attack Turkey to "make up a cause of war".

That and the plans were online and hacked by the Chinese as reported by Snowden. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/snowden-chinese-hac...

You are happy because the new bridge isn't "dangerous and awkward", but I maintain your standards are too low.

Passively learning survivalist skills by watching Survivorman.

Your physical and mental energy and time is a finite resource. Don't waste it.

They make a bridge without cars and they only give the pedestrians 4 ft for 2 ways? That's preposterous. What's wrong is that it isn't wide enough. Maybe I can get an upvote by someone from Europe where they have bridges that are wide and pleasant to walk across.

So what is that 4 ft wide for two way pedestrian traffic? That's kinda sad. #sidewalkshame

NYT isn't credible.

In the context of gamification you have a high score in the video game of stackoverflow. In the context of tool usage, you are good at using python. What you build with that tool is what will give you status. Don't spend too much time using the tool to beat the video game.

CBS San Francisco, Nov 21, 2014: Rare cancers, blindness, birth defects and now, two deaths. Hundreds of U.S. sailors… say they were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation...

Was that so hard?

The report published on Tuesday by the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbun said figures from authorities in Fukushima Prefecture showed a total of 1,232 deaths in 2014 were linked to the nuclear disaster.

According to the article: " Also, babies born to mothers with active genital herpes have a more than 80 percent mortality rate"

How can this be if 1/6 people has herpes in the US ? Seems like you would hear about a lot more infant deaths.

No one died? Many people on the USS Reagan died and are dying now.

People say history is written by the victors but still accept the standard narrative.

There's interesting people on there, but I couldn't tell you how many.

I started using Twister over Twitter.

fake outrage is a very effective tactic on public forums

I'm more concerned about AI law enforcement. NSA eavesdropping plus an intelligent agent assigned to you is a powerful combination.

When a moderator deletes your post that's silencing, and it strikes me as a more powerful form of harassment than anything that would cause me to self censor.

The choice is moderation or no moderation. No moderation means you can harass and be harassed, moderation means you can be silenced. Pick one.

That's more reading that was expected of me during any of my college courses at UW Madison. I think universities used to require more from their students.

It's true, because man does not find meaning in leisure, only in work. Ora et Labora as the monks used to say. Video games give you a false sense of progress and labor. Its why gambling are so addictive, because it is not pure recreation but it more closely resembles work, especially insofar as that you can make rent money.
