Re: Ron Paul - Hope for America
Gads this stuff frustrates me. First let's get some definitions out of the way. I generally avoid Wikipedia on some of these because it can be rather politicized itself, but at least the first sentence of the Fascism article seems on point: Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally t...

Re: The forum's own Killfile, interviewed on MSNBC for newsvine.
Yea, busy is a good word for it. I've been writing a lot of stuff but it has mostly been for Newsvine. Psi used to tell me to cross-post stuff here but now that we're no longer in the same office :( that's no longer a possibility. Those of you that have profs that are interested in Newsvine -- pleas...

Re: Bioshock demo!
The demo is massive on a level that I can't describe. 1.8 Gigs is absurd. That said - it's also fairly amazing. There are some things that piss me off -- HDR or not, Bioshock's mind-blowing visuals and glorious lighting effects result in scenes that are so engrossing and amazing that it becomes very...

Re: SECRET NEW PLAN FOR EU SUPERSTATE
I don't know about that.... China seems to have done fairly well for itself, though it tends to slide in and out of "superstate" status -- moreso in its ancient period than today of course. Of course superstates lack real National legitimacy and are all destined for either assimilation or ...

Re: Teh Zombies... they come.
Right -- but since Zombies eat people (and thus presumably Soylent Green, but that's neither here nor there) we can assume that, once the human population is gone and they're out of food they'll.... what? Starve? Even if they don't starve they'll relocate since they pretty much do nothing else but s...

Re: New Reality Show... Where The Loosers DIE
Turns out this was a hoax to raise awareness of organ needs.
Oh well... I don't mind falling for a well-intentioned hoax.

The Coulter Hoax: How Ann Coulter Exposed the Intelligent D
I seeded this to Newsvine, but Psi mentioned that yall might get a kick out of it too. Dawkins has recently reposted a fabulous satire of Coulter's "Godless" under the title "The Coulter Hoax" In the summer of 2006, I heard that a new book called Godless presented an insightful a...

Historically the US goes through periods of extreme corporatism and extreme-anticorporatism. Guess what period we're in right now?

Well... yea Brainpiercing. All I'm addressing is the doctrine that allows Christians to kill in war without invoking the wrath of their God. Does Christian dogma allow a Christian to kill in battle and remain pure? Yes. Want proof? Look at David. I'm by no means addressing any notion of ultimate mor...

Killfile made a great point but this means at the very most you can be agnostic and still be a true Communist. Is that not true? You can practice Communism and still think there might be a greater power in the universe but will never pursue it. Furthur more you have to be either agnostic or atheist...
