I’m sure he’ll wear this as a badge of honour, so that’s a backfire for sure.

Thanks for clarifying (and I should’ve looked it up myself! My bad for being lazy).
That sounds like a sane policy.
- Comment on Anon caused 9/11 7 months ago:
Not to get political… buy why wouldn’t just washing it and generally treating it respectfully be good enough (Like, why waste a perfectly nice looking flag?)
Intentionally throwing one’s national flag on the ground and stomping on it… that’s one thing. But just dropping it by mistake? People make mistakes, it shouldn’t be considered bloody treason :p
Then again, I’m one of those people who avoids ever addressing ‘someone of station’ as ‘Your Grace’, ‘Your Honour’, ‘Your Highness’, etc. If I were ever in the situation of being expected to do so, I’d be very uncomfortable and would try to get away with “Sir” or “Madam”. I don’t believe anyone deserves such obsequious subservience. Guess I’d be dead if I’d been born a few hundred years ago.
- Comment on How disheartening for Snowden to do the right thing and be stranded in Russia. 7 months ago:
You spread misinformation. Anyone who cares to do so can verify the info I give below.
Snowden stated from the start that he originally intended to go from Hong Kong to Ecuador, who had promised him asylum. He intentionally gave away all copies of his data, destroying his own, to the journalists who had met him in Hong Kong to evaluate his leaks (verify sources before believing those who claim ‘he leaked info to Russia’). He fully intended to be ‘clean’ if he were interdicted on his way out of Hong Kong.
The US illegally (violating international law! It is illegal for a nation to render their own citizen stateless while abroad) revoked his US passport as he flew to Russia, which he meant to be a temporary stop only to obtain passage on a flight to Ecuador as Ecuadorian officials were to be there in order to receive him.
The President of Ecuador’s own Presidential Plane, with the Ecuadorian President onboard was forcibly grounded over EU airspace, by fighter jets, at the USA’s behest, on suspicioun that Snowden might be aboard. Snowden was trapped in a Russian airport, against his will, with no valid passport, essentially rendered Stateless – again, a violation of international law perpetrated by the USA against one of its own citizens.
Imagine the USA’s response if Airforce One were forcibly grounded to a foreign airport, by foreign fighter-jets, at the behest of another country.

Repressed memories flooding back. Our school gym didn’t always keep them inflated properly, so the strong, taller guys would really launch them and the flaccid rubber things would splat against our young bodies like lead jellyfish.
Holy hell dodgeball was a war crime.
The ‘medics’ were not supposed to be targets… hah, hah. ‘Oops, collateral damage!’ :/ :)

Oh, they’ve killed more than a few projects, very publically, so far as I’m concerned :p
- Comment on [Analysis] Why Deleting and Destroying Finished Movies Like Coyote vs Acme Should Be a Crime | MZS | Roger Ebert 9 months ago:
What seems particularly evil to me is the effect it has on resumes of the actors, artists, musicians, etc. – they now have nothing concrete to point to for an entire block of their careers, if they can’t point to a finished product.
And the point about destroying series just to deny workers their union residuals… wow.
Well, if I had any urges to watch recent movies or TV, I sure don’t now. F these money-grubbing vampires. Most of the writing is now so formulaic and tepid anyhow…

No, it’s just saying “NOTHING” is written in stone – which it obviously is here, on the first line.
The fact that “IS WRITTEN IN STONE” is also written in stone isn’t mentioned, probably due to lack of space.

Genocide? Far from it, this proposal gives every single resident of the area a new life in a new land. Only far away from their adversary, and they can live their cultures, apart, in peace.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
Bomb the entire region with pork rinds and aerosolized pig fat (offensive to both warring religions there, right?) for 6 months, and give everyone there a solid deadline to pack one small bag per adult on free one-way flights, daily, to a new ‘homeland’. Canada can bequeath a region of northern Alberta-Sask-Nunavut for Jewish citizens, and… I dunno, Argentina does the same for Palestinians. Evacuees are issued special passports granting citizenship to their respective new ‘homelands’. The donor nations are given a one-time and new ‘homeland’ nations are each granted a one-time $1 trillion grant to set up the new arrangements.
Oh, and finally. Death penalty for any evacuee and their descendants for 7 generations who even attempt to enter the ‘other’ homeland. And after that 6-month nonlethal bacon-bombing campaign, drop something over the entire ‘holy land’ to ensure it’s uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years. No one can claim they weren’t given a chance to leave by that point…
Time to take away not just the toys, but the whole damn playground.

What country are you in? I wonder if they’re rolling it out to smaller markets to see how much backlash they get.
Time to get a federated video hosting service scaled up ASAP I guess. But who could afford the bandwidth? We need a stable torrent-based streaming solution I suppose.
