he stood up and turned his back in a silent protest of America’s foreign policy

Ridiculous. At worst he was disrupting some view of someone behind him. To cause a situation and harm him as they did is awful.

@Cuddles:
Hmmm….look at the rest of the vid if you want, but 1:40 to around 2:44 is interesting to say the least.

Thoughts?
My guess is that the Republican and Tea Party are pretty much suicidal by this point.
I don't know how many kids would actually work, though, if this got through.What the… the young turk made it to national television!!! Congratz Cenk I really like theyoungturks.

Bachman is so fucking terrifying. She makes Glenn Beck seem rational and normal.

Yeah, Cenk's been on there for a few months now, but his show has been left in the hands of Ben and Anna more because of it.
…I don't like Ben too much, but at least they still have Jayar, and Ana is still smart as usual (but naive :ninja:).
I'm hoping that Cenk can bring the sound board on set one day.
EDIT: Holy shit! Ana's been on too.

Now we just need to get Jayar an interview on Fox, with Ben there to interrupt O'Reilly and Hannity.[/hide] -
Far as the protestor goes, that's a sadly typical overreaction by event security.
@JERK:
Bachman is so fucking terrifying. She makes Glenn Beck seem rational and normal.
My guess is that the GOP will do their best to get rid of her in the next primary; she pissed off a lot of powerful people in the GOP establishment with that Tea Party Response to the State of the Union. I think she was at Useful Idiot status in the GOP's eyes back before the election, but the fact that she was completely shut out of any power positions in Congress afterward and the annoyed rumblings lately make me think she isn't even that highly regarded by the Establishment anymore.

What the fuck is going on in schools back home?! 0.o; Shit I have to add a heavier anti-racism program in my plans than the one I was thinking about. This is absolutely unacceptable. And the parents need to be whacked around harder than the kids. I am quite sure the school isn't the one planting hate seeds against foreigners after all if I recall my lessons. =/
I knew about this already but damn it makes me lol that Turkey is complaining about it since the gas was found in the Greek-Cyprus parts and they have no rights in saying anything about it.

! > 1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't yet. Shocker.
-
A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."
! Bull.
! > 3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)
! W-what?
! > 4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.
! …Why?
! > 5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.
! ….
! > 6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working. -
And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.
! What am I reading? For fuck's sake. What am I reading? Preschool is where the fucking foundations of learning are built you idiotic, useless pieces of shit!!! No. Wait. Shit is more useful than these guys.
! > 8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens. -
Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
-
And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).
! They hate humanity. I can't think of another reason they are doing this. They hate each and every human being out there, that is in need of some kind of help. And they actually have supporters? With this kind of morals and ideas?

Well, as I'm sure you know, true republicans aren't represented by these people, Taboo. I am not a republican, but I have strong feelings about the need for a strong two party system, and that isn't possible when one party seems to have been more or less taken over by a fanatical fringe element, and the other party is so busy being open minded and reaching for compromise that they are basically ineffectual. (Not that I'm bitter… Oh hell, yes I am.)

What USA needs is a three party system, they currently have two right wing parties althought Democrats are only moderate right wing.
They need a center/liberal party… there can be never be a left wing party in USA because people are generally having fobia about 'socialism'.
Center wing(?) party could collaborate with democrats allowing them to thwart most radical republican ideas and giving a fresh air to US politics.

I'm sorry to disrupt a talk concerning republican craziness, but I'm just dropping in to say that I hope that this time Berlusconi can finally, FINALLY, get his long overdue just deserts.
I know the chances are slim and that he's dodged (bribed) justice several times before, but I can still hope dammit. -

Yes. To pretty much all of that.
That's only the stuff that they do against women.
The poor, the weak, the sick, the colored, basically anyone who's not them gets shafted.
And they have a network of influence that still convinces idiots out there that they're still the good guys.
I really hope that Internet Kill Switch thing never passed, or we're really in trouble. The Net's all we got against these guys now. -
Here in Canada, we have a very left-leaning party called the NDP. The haven't really ever won anything, at least on the federal level, but they've been able to influence politics on a large level. The were the ones responsible for our healthcare system, for instance.

Goog God. Among the rest of the crap in there, They're effectively gutting the national health care law. If this passes in the Senate, it'll just mean years of lawsuits when people try to follow the law and aren't allowed to due to lack of funds. I have no words for that level of low.

Didn't they say that was the plan ever since the bill passed last year?

Republicans aren't all bad… the worse ones are just the loudest, that's all...>_>
I'm a Democrat and I can appreciate the 2 party system. You can't have a 1 party monopoly making all the decisions. You need argument and debate to weed out the dumbass and self-centered ideas to get to the the rare good stuff that's grinded out after hours, days, and weeks of discussion.
As for the Health Care Law, yeah we all knew they'd tried to gut it because it sure as hell wasn't going to be repealed. I imagine the Democrats have ways to prevent the Republicans from doing this though to their hearts desire. I don't agree with everything in the bill and there's plenty room for improvement but undermining and cutting it up does more damage and no good.
-
Prohibits funding for renovations or rental of the United Nations Headquarters in the United States.
Because that's an incredibly smart move to make, make sure no one can actualy pay for any repairs for the headquarters of one of the most known and I bet influential international organisations of the world.
Cannot see any sort of UN misunderstanding croping up next time the US wants something.

Yeah, a two party system where one party is right wing and the other one is extremely right wing isn't all that much better than a single party system.

The democrats aren't right wing, they're just pussies afraid of what the right thinks.

Well, i think for every crimes, even small ones, but with different "degree" of rape, le'ts say for a small infraction it would be a quick rape done by an officer, for more serious crimes it should be a very long and painful gang rape done by many men; for capital crimes it may even last several days and would be publicy broadcasted
DEGREES OF RAPE?! Are you kidding me?!
edit:I would agree to the idea that a close relative should be raped to punish a male convict. Even if it would mean that I or my daughter (or we both together) would be raped when my husband breaks the law. Yes, my daughter should be raped, too. Even it would be hard to watch it but she also has responsibilities to the family to fulfill like me when she reached the proper age. It should be made pbublic to embrarrass him that we were going to be raped because of him and we had to bear his sentence. It should maybe happen in the prison where he is jailed. And the rape should be executed by his fellow inmates that they see his female family members in detail.
I seriously don't know what to say
-
these people were born stupid
-
…..
what is this??
Is that just a message board full of fuckups or is there some growing movement for "rape as a punishment"? I've never even heard of it outside of the history books before today. I'm stuck between calling it an elaborate trolling or thinking you've stumbled onto a board for wannabe dictators.
-
No. I have come to my senses and see it now as the only proper way to punish a woman. I would be happy to be surrendered to a rape sentence if I did something wrong. I should be punished as hard as possible without any mercy. If necessary I would surrender myself to the execution of a rape. With my head held high I would awaite my rapists that they can perform their duty on me and I would pay my debts to the community. When my daughter has reached the right age I would hand her over to be judged also this way and the authorities should also punish her as hard as possible and I would not expect any mercy for her, too.
sounds like a fucking robot repeating somebody's opinion
How about the age limit? 14 is fine for me
….whut?
