Talking about Detroit police halt pillow fight – Weird news- msnbc.com
So did you see this last week? A giant nationwide pillow fight. It’s good to see people coming back to their senses. It’s my belief that if you don’t have pillow fights, the terrorists win. Oh, sure your laughing, your thinking, wow, he sounds crazy. Not really, think about it, the minute you give in to a bully, the bully wins. We all remember having a bully at some time in our lives. The key is to keep doing things your way and not to be curtailed from doing what you want or enjoy. But that’s just my thoughts on freedom in general. The real news is the fear mongering. The fear…. of pillows… yes, that’s right, the fluffy menace is upon you, you’d better watch your back.

What’s truly insane is the blatant about the permit… a permit… really? See it’s baby steps people, I’m telling you, if you don’t defend your rights to proper sleeping accessories it’s all down hill from there.
Anti-Americanism (or “why’s it ok to hate freedom?”)
Back in the day there used to be this little group, let’s call them … The Nationalist Socialist German Worker’s’ Party, which was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. This group later became the Nazi party. Nazi ideology stressed the failure of democracy, failure of Laissez-faire capitalism, "racial purity of the German people" and persecuted those it perceived either as race enemies or Lebensunwertes Leben, that is "life unworthy of living". This included Jews, Slavs, and Roma along with German homosexuals, the mentally disabled, communists, and others.*
We entered World War 2 and with he help of our allies defeated the spread of Nazi-ism and it’s ideals in May of 1945. In the grand scheme of things that really wasn’t all that long ago. So with that in mind and one of the main things you see on the news being the hatred of Nazi’s and their oppressive mentality. why do people continue to fall for the smoke and mirrors of less rights in the cause of safety? You probably think I’m delusional. I assure you, I’m not. Let me show you something interesting, let’s take the Nazi parties ideals and swap some words out. Republican ideology stressed the failure of Liberalism within democracy , failure of Regulation, "Regulatory authorities are commonly set up to enforce standards and safety, to oversee use of public goods and regulate commerce." and the moral decay of society by those it perceived either as moral enemies or Anarchist, that “want nothing more then to destroy the moral fiber of America". This included homosexuals, liberals, communists, and those against the free market. If you look at the two their really not all that different. now that’s not to say Republicans as a whole are Nazi’s, that’d be ridiculous. But the hardcore-far-right Conservatives are an extremist group, much like their polar opposite the far-left liberals. Both of these groups seem to miss the entire point of America and they’re both radical fringe elements in my opinion. The United States was initially setup by a group of people that were fleeing religious intolerance and dictatorial rule. the entire history of our country is based on the throwing off of old ideas and coming up with an amalgam that takes most of the best of all sides and makes a livable environment for everyone. These two groups however, don’t like America or the very premise of the country. they prefer to instigate and inflame hatred for the other side, they also believe only their way is right. For eight years our country was steered to the far right, the far left was hoping that with the election of Obama they could steer us in the polar opposite direction. Funny thing is, President Obama is doing what he said he was going to do, he’s being a centrist, he’s trying to reach out to both sides and use the best ideas from both halves.
It’s a sad state of affairs when people can’t see eye-to-eye, it’s disastrous when they decide to do everything in their power to oppose someone that’s trying to help on some vague principle. It’s ok if you don’t believe in someone else’s ideals, that’s what the country was built on. It’s another thing entirely to use the same principle’s as the Nazi’s, hate, fear, suspicion… to get your way, that’s not something that’s Country first (a popular slogan during the presidential campaigns) that’s Father Land first. Hitler would be proud.

Barack Obama, Wins!! McCain loses but goes out in style, and Palin – EPIC FAIL… and for you a retort…
Ahem, I’d just like to close this little chapter of your 15 minutes of fame with closure.
“A small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except you have actual responsibilities” Sarah Palin quote from the 2008 republican convention
Maybe, but…..
“A community organizer is sort of like a small town mayor , except you actually can become President.” Me, quoted November 5th 2008.
Damn You, D&D…
and your accuracy! I decided to take the same test as Eric and I’m exhausted (over 100 questions??), but it’s pretty accurate except the Chaotic part, I think I’m more Neutral, I’ll leave the goody-goody-ness to others.
You Are A:
Chaotic Evil Human Sorcerer (4th Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength- 13
Dexterity- 16
Constitution- 14
Intelligence- 16
Wisdom- 16
Charisma- 15
Alignment:
Chaotic Evil- A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. Chaotic evil is sometimes called demonic because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the best alignment you can be because combines self-interest and pure freedom. However, chaotic evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but also of the order on which beauty and life depend.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Class:
Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

Speaking of D&D and the like, I was playing some more world of Warcraft (currently @1200+ hours) and I’m fascinated by the achievement system, especially the non PvP portion, Blizzard as a whole is one impressive company, no wonder they’re the leaders in the MMORPG field, just, wow people… srsly!
More debate commentary
Pat Buccaneen is like “Palin won because she’s “authentic”, she’s charismatic…” WTF?? How about answering the questions? How about saying something of substance. She can’t say anything about the Bailout? She can’t say what’s so different about the McCain/Palin ticket? She can just say she’s not answering questions. Huh? Yeah, that’s good stuff right there. Not useful… but good.
To someone.
Not me.
Someone explain to me
Governor Palin is a victim of “Gotcha” journalism because she was overheard responding to a voter about what she’s do about a foreign country. So… in order to show she’s competent, John McCain goes on the second half of Palin’s interview with Katie Couric… a woman… and proceeds to talk over Palin and respond for her when Couric asks her anything. And this is who the disenchanted Hillary voters would rather or should rather vote for? Yeah, that doesn’t show her as either incompetent, too stupid to answer, or unable to defend herself in the big leagues. Hell, it was like watching a father protect his daughter, and this is what conservatives want for the next 4 years…? Genius.
Comedy.
But FoxNews is reporting he’s your guy. So, yeah I’ll keep you posted. I’m waiting to see if John Mccain picks a woman vice president. I also openly hope all the Hillary supporters that are for McCain go republican, hmmm… I feel a rant coming on.
day 2, the DNC
FoxNoise, the only channel that covers an event by… not covering an event. Also, a clever trick, showing footage of no Hillary support by zooming in on little sections of anti-McCain and Pro Obama supporters… nice job Fox, but I watched the camera coverage on MSNBC and they did Panorama shots. You may’ve heard of them, they’re used to show The Big PICTURE. Maybe you can try it some time. Oh, and Megyn Kelly, your a great actress, for the longest time you had me convinced you were a correspondent with integrity, Bravo!! You deserve an Oscar… F.Y.I. I know your not too bright, so just so you know… that’s sarcasm. Hm, apparently Fox also saw a different video intro then the rest of us… maybe they really do live in a parallel world.
On a more positive note, having watched a version that’s not talked over on MSNBC, I can say, Hillary’s speech was great, I may not trust her, but she can deliver a great speech and her supporters looked fired up and ready to go, Contrary to Foxs’ shady reporting. Can someone tell me why Rudy “A noun, a verb, and 9/11″ Guilliani is a main “goto” guy for Hannity and Colmes? Didn’t his bid end up as a punchline when he ran?
OMGWTFSTR8TALK?!?!111!1
Ah, the newest smear campaign of the Republican party. Obama is against babies (he has 2 daughters though…) he voted against a bill to help babies that survive abortions (though there’s a law in place that already does this), and he’s lying about us lying about his record. Obama didn’t vote on a bill that was nearly identical to a federal bill because he didn’t agree with the Illinois bill, but did agree with the Federal bill. I suppose this story would be outrageous and a scandal except the right-wingers fail to mention there were addendums tacked onto the bill that Obama didn’t agree with. Let me repeat, there were other bills, like when congress adds a motion to raise their pay on the back of a bill to send weapons to our troops or to provide them with health care. So, I suppose this is the Obama is a baby killer attack? First he might be “The One” (aka the devil) and now he’s a babysitter. All he has said… and repeatedly is he’s pro-life but believes in womens rights. How can being in favor of womens rights cause so much drama?? I also like the allusion that Obama is running because he’s conceited and doesn’t care about our countries security (yes he said that…)
And hello pot, this is kettle, I wrote a speech for you, here’s an excerpt “…All that is asked of the rest of us is that we do not dishonor their sacrifice by treating the cause they served so bravely as an opportunity to argue without wisdom; to divide us without care for the consequences; to advance our individual or partisan interests at the expense of America’s security….” (McCain’s Speech To The Members Of The Veterans Of Foreign Wars ,Published April 7, 2008) Examples:
How do you like it? Huh, what?? Why are you laughing??
Maybe I’m laughing because I remember this….
John McCain might have survived being a prisoner, but obviously they were too late to save his honor.
Civil court (Or more accurately Revenge Court!)
I’m not a fan of Scott Peterson and yes, I’m one of those people that don’t care if O.J. did or didn’t do it but… whatever happened to be exonerated? doesn’t winning your court case mean anything anymore? Let’s not get into the sticky situation of whether you agree or disagree with a verdict, if you are found not guilty the topic should be dropped. I understand this is the American Idol generation, everyone wants to have a vote, everyone wants their say, but the law doesn’t work like that, the rules, as I always say, are the rules. Twelve people get a say in whether or not a person is guilty or not, thousands of dollars are spent on lawyers for the defense and for the prosecution, a judge, who is supposedly unbiased makes the ruling based on the heretofore mentioned twelve people and after all is said and done, a verdict is reached and that’s that. Well that’s how it used to be, now there’s the idiotic invention of civil (Revenge) court. Here’s a court that, were the law actually not being abused would be used for one purpose and one purpose only. A Civil Court, last I heard anyway, is supposed to be for small claims, private settlements that don’t necessarily need all the pomp and circumstance of a bigger court. lately, though, it seems that civil courts have been getting used to re-try, which I didn’t think was supposed to happen, a case where the verdict didn’t come out the way the prosecution wanted. So say in the case of O.J., the guy gets off, so then they sue him in civil and win, what the hell?!? Personally I think double jeopardy should apply across the board and you should only be able to pick one place to have your case tried. The courts aren’t a slot machine, you don’t just keep pulling the handle until you get the justice you want.
