And I am Kallen Kozuki, leader of Zero's honor guard. Even though this is a land of justice and those damned Britannian sympathizers Sage and Sechs are fascists, they've still got a few right ideas.

So no posting stuff off the DNP! And nothing that's illegal in the real world!

Summary: Lesbian teen wants to take her girlfriend to high school prom and wear a tuxedo. School says no. ACLU says "You have to let her." School cancels the fucking prom in retaliation rather than let her go, no doubt giggling with glee while thinking of the shit the girl will get over it.

Hell, just look at the comments. It's all her fault there, of course, because she didn't shut up and pretend she was "normal" for the sake of everyone else being able to act like things they don't approve of don't exist.

I hope that girl gets out of that shitfuck little town, and then I hope a tornado turns the entire place into a hole in the ground that can be turned into a nice little lake... or a landfill. (Hey, nothing will have changed, it'll still be full of trash.)

Just... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Oh, and hey, who wants to bet Obama doesn't have jack shit to say about this, despite what a hurry he was in to weigh in on some cop being abused by a cranky old black guy. I mean, this is just actual persecution, so who cares, right?

I just don't know what to make of this. I guess another good reason to keep Palin away from any influential position?

Where are some videos depicting the "Prayer Warfare" mentioned in the article. Absolute bollocks and hokey if you ask me...but I suppose it's a good thing if people in desperate situations find hope somewhere.

>>He was vocal from the get-go that he wanted to START change, but that it would take years of hard work from him, his administration, Congress, future administrations, and the public/voters.

*cough*Bullshit*cough*Bullshit*cough*

That whole "He'll just START the change, it will take a long time" was basically tacked on towards the very end of the campaign, once his team figured that everyone out there had already made up their minds. May not have been an actual voting day addon, but it was close. It was ass-covering for when he would inevitably have gotten jack shit done at the end of his first term, and they could then say "But remember what we said! This is just the start! If you want to really see some change and hope, you have to give him another four years!"

Claiming that he always said he'd just lay the groundwork for change is disingenuous at best, a flat-out lie at worst. Hell, for one thing, who the fuck would build a campaign on that? "I'll start some changes. I won't actually get any changes DONE, that'll be some other guy, but I'll lay the groundwork so you really need to elect me."

One of the other amusing aspects of the Hopenchange rhetoric exists in his aggressive use of religious imagery (which is unusual for a liberal candidate) while indulging his massive ego. I don't remember the quote verbatim, but something along the lines of "today the heavens have opened up to reveal your savior, i.e. me." Obama is well-spoken (when his teleprompter is on, zing!) to be sure, and as has already been observed, that allowed him to use the Hopenchange mantra by never actually giving specifics. "We'll clean up Washington!" is not specific.

Contrast that to Palin, who is less well-spoken than Obama, and who is also basically a redneck. Rednecks can be brilliant people but are often dismissed for being too country, which is something that New Yorkers, for example, don't "get."

I guess the topic of this thread is associations and connections to extremist groups. If people took that shit seriously, Obama wouldn't be President, Byrd never would have been a congressman, and Ron Paul's associations with Velaams Blaang (I think I'm spelling that wrong) would've had him expelled.

I grow increasingly concerned that people on both sides have been turning a blind eye to the encroachment of psychotic extremism.

Blah blah blah.

What is there to "get" about Palin that coastal elitism keeps people from appreciating?

She's just another politician with a narrative and a crisp image. She really is nothing special apart from her capacity to woo people, and seeing as you spent a post complaining about Obama being too extolled, that obviously can't count in *Palin's* favor, now can it?

US anti-gay rights senator Roy Ashburn comes out as gay - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8556852.stm

I think one of the things that annoys me the most is that things like this basically give people excuses to make homophobic jokes.

Stuff like >>14470 is a good example. Yes, I know that the "reasoning" is that these people are being mocked for hypocrisy, not for being gay. But that comes off as more of an excuse because the clear intent is to be insulting towards male conservatives by implying (or outright stating, in many cases) that they're gay.

Say what you want, you're still using homosexuality as an insult. That's not exactly any more enlightened or less degrading than calling it a sin.
>> No. 14494 ID: fc272c
>>14490

Didn't think of it that way, and I can see where you're going, but the point of the comic is pretty much expressly to joke about recent events in the media (i.e. Mr. Ashburn here), not point out that someone's gay because being gay is funny. That's like saying that Person A hates black people because they're calling out Person B (a black man) for being racist against blacks.
>> No. 14495 ID: ef7351
Remember, people, the classic bullying tactic: If you accuse everyone else of being <thing> and rail on them as though it's horrible, no one will ever accuse YOU of being <thing>.

In this case, I think these guys are ashamed, and/or afraid it goes against their own desired moral code, and/or are afraid of being outed and ridiculed. Thus, they protect their dark secret by bneing as anti- as possible. "No one could ever think I'm gay if I HATE gays"

Am I surprised? No. I only hope that, once they come out, they start supporting the rights of others.

Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

BEST. BURGERS. EVER. Better than In-N-Out. Fries are prepared similarly but just taste better, IMO. They're quickly spreading out as the chain expands.
>> No. 14485 ID: c2d14e
If I could pick a place with the best burgers, I'd say Whataburger is the best, simply because they're giant and always cooked well.

Best fries from a fast food place are McDonalds, unless your talkin curly fries, in which Jack in the Box rocks. The problem I have with Burger King is that you always feel ripped off when eating there. Their burgers always feel tiny compared to the bun, and the fries are pathetic. Their chicken sammichs aren't bad, but that's about it.
>> No. 14497 ID: ef7351
Whataburger rocks. In-N-Out rocks. Five Guys rocks, too, and it's the only one of the three I can get where I live. I only wish we'd get a Krystal or White Castle. My part of the country has ZERO local, unique burger chains, unless you count one set of 50s-vintage drive-ins, about six in number. All we've got in quantity are McDingle's and Burger King.

I like Braums, myself. Just something about the taste of the meat patties. I also like their fries the best.

I do. It's a nice time to clean, if you're awake for whatever reason. People leave you alone, you can focus and you don't need to worry about missing out on hanging out with people. What's wrong with cleaning a gun at 2:30 am?

"THIS WEAPON IS A GUN."

... no. Is it? Damn. I thought it was a cheesecake.

I'm also impressed by this mention of special training being needed to fire a gun. In my experience, most guns work pretty well if you point the shooty end downrange and then pull the little triggery thing.
>> No. 14287 ID: 453298
I think the tone of the interview was more analyzing the possibility that it wasn't an issue of cleaning the gun and dropping to accidentally shoot someone, but of willfully taking out the gun in the early morning and shooting someone with it.

It's just done with really shoddy 'all guns are ebil' journalism that gets sidetracked on the way the gun looks and how lethal it is to...well, anything else involved with the case.

A. Censor your state's public's political opinions one month and a half before election day.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/south-australian-state-government-gags-internet-debate/story-e6frfro0-1225825750956

You're an absolute cunt when you're more concerned about the criticism against you for corruption rather than the needs and rights of the people you serve. I don't find it of any coincidence that this law has come into effect just after Atkinson settled a lawsuit against a facebook page which published articles citing Atkinson as corrupted; This guy is on a political witch-hunt against people who seek to defame him.

The law effectively prohibits anyone in South Australia to voice their political opinions without posting their real name and address two months before an election. Not only does this infringe on the poster's privacy, but it leaves the poster open to persecution for their opinion.

Sites are fined $5000 if they do not hand the information over to the electorial commission.

If there was more needed evidence that Australia is a backwards country, this is it. SA used to be the forerunner for civil rights in the country.

More news on this cocksucker.

In recent news, Atkinson's out to sue a poster who called Atkinson a "crook" back in December.

He wants not only $20,000 but wants a formal apology to be put onto the web. The guy in question is apparently bankrupt, he wrote a rebutal to Atkinson and hasn't heard back from him since.

Its like everything he does is a footbullet.

Atkinson is a moral fascist who's stuck in the Moral 50s and has the mental maturity of a 4-year-old Grandpop Child, and wants to convert the world into carbon copies of himself. I wish him a karmatic backlash in the worst form possible.
