Firewerx 10/23/18 3:10:31 PM #26 | It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned that Japan fought against Germany in the First World War...! --- texty bastard |

Topic | Germany has possibly the most interesting history of the 20th century. |
Firewerx 10/23/18 2:22:24 PM #16 | Go into any bookstore, and chances are you'll find that all of German history is, apparently, only twelve years long: 1933-45. That's another way of saying I'm sick to the back teeth with the obsession with the Third Reich. --- texty bastard |
Topic | Are you procrastinating right now? |
Firewerx 10/23/18 2:12:56 PM #22 | I actually meant to post in this topic much sooner. --- texty bastard |
Topic | Is it dick to ask someone when their last std testing was? |
Firewerx 10/23/18 1:30:33 PM #22 | Maybe the politest way to introduce the subject is to tell them when you were last tested, in case they're worried; the hint being that this is time for them to reciprocate and give you the same information about themselves. That's what I used to do, and my partners seemed to appreciate the gesture. --- texty bastard |

Firewerx 10/22/18 5:59:48 PM #32 | FLUFFYGERM posted... Anarchy_Juiblex posted...Firewerx posted...against popular resistance You are, predictably, blinded by a near-sociopathic form of knee-jerk, Republican right-wing "patriotism" that renders you completely numb to the irony of how US foreign policy can create and feed the very monsters it most fears. If you put your money on violent opponents of reform, if you deny people an alternative to the government that exploits and abuses them, if you arm and support that government when it tries to murder them, you're going to drive them into the arms of the only people who offer them shelter, a gun, and a chance to fight back. Don't blame them if they feel less than picky, because not being picky about the kind of regimes you choose as your friends was Uncle Sam's lesson in democracy for Central America. --- texty bastard |

Firewerx 10/22/18 5:20:27 PM #24 | Anarchy_Juiblex posted... Firewerx posted...against popular resistance How many tortures, murders and "disappearances" of trade union activists, independent journalists, human rights workers, student protestors, peasant farmers and anyone else accused of "communist sympathies" does it take before it becomes legitimate for people to turn against an oppressive government? Oh, that's right: if it's a government backed by the Reagan White House, the answer is: it's never legitimate. America remains proud of its revolutionary heritage and its brave struggle against the unnameable horrors of taxation without representation. But the right to resist repression is apparently an American prerogative that Uncle Sam guards very jealously. --- texty bastard |

Firewerx 10/22/18 4:50:58 PM #7 | Anarchy_Juiblex posted... We built them a fucking canal that they charge up to $150k to traverse. And backed death squad regimes that murdered them if they had the nerve to ask for union rights in the factories or the farms where they worked, or if they dared to complain about death squads murdering their friends, neighbours and loved ones. The ungrateful bastards. --- texty bastard |
Topic | What's your political stance? |
Firewerx 10/22/18 4:08:53 PM #13 | Brig_Jackson posted... Firewerx posted...Brig_Jackson posted...yet, if you actually pause for a moment.. and i dunno.. look at the truth? The "right" are civil, present only facts, don't get angry, are calm, collective, logical, intelligent. Because there are plenty of people on the left who present only facts, don't get angry, are calm, collected, logical, intelligent. Your claim that no one who holds left-wing opinions possesses those qualities, which are supposedly a monopoly of the right, is not a "fact". At best, it's a prejudice spoken in ignorance; at worst, it's a lie that betrays naked contempt for people who hold opinions different to yours. There are plenty of people -- far too many -- on both left and right whose toxic tribal politics has persuaded them that their critics and opponents aren't simply wrong, aren't merely misinformed or misguided, but are bad people. Luckily, there are also people -- on both left and right -- who don't stoop to slosh about in the gutter quite so readily. --- texty bastard |

Topic | Do you say "thank you" when strangers hold the door open for you? |
Firewerx 10/21/18 12:33:22 PM #13 | I always say thank you; but sometimes when people hold the door open when I'm still thirty feet away and I feel I need to sprint for it, it feels less like they're doing me a favour and more like they're lumbering me with an obligation! --- texty bastard |

Topic | How do I skip past the first four stages of grief |
Firewerx 10/21/18 11:48:41 AM #128 | That's not grief. Grief comes from a sense of loss. But this isn't about you losing stuff, this is about you not having stuff. There are positive actions you can take to tackle a sense of non-fulfilment; there's fuck all you can do about the pain of losing someone you'll never see again in your lifetime. |
Topic | Haters can hate, but Lost is still my favorite TV show of all time. |
Firewerx 10/21/18 11:37:48 AM #18 | Unfortunately there was no way the penultimate and final seasons could fully deliver on all the expectations, hopes, and need for answers and closure that had been built up so high over the previous four seasons. But I don't think I'd ever watched a show religiously before because I so badly wanted to see how things would turn out. |
Topic | There should be a channel that shows nothing but non-stop commercials 24/7. |
Firewerx 10/21/18 11:30:05 AM #6 | OwlRammer posted... I agree if they can remove commericals from every other channel and put them all on that commercial channel |
Topic | If all the nukes went away, it would mean the return of major wars. |
Firewerx 10/20/18 10:23:17 PM #4 | Interesting that the Iran-Iraq War, lasting seven years and with over half a million killed, isn't seen as a major war. Or the Second Congo War, involving nine countries and with over five million dead. |

Topic | Would you support going to war against Saudia Arabia? |
Firewerx 10/19/18 2:29:42 PM #21 | You're either going to unite the kingdom around the monarchy as a symbol of national and religious resistance in the face of foreign ("crusader") aggression, or you're going to make it disintegrate and create another black hole of instability in one of the most important oil producing regions in the world. Before Uncle Sam tries taking a country apart once again, he should first have some realistic plan of how to stick it back together afterwards. Don't kid yourself that a foreign policy so brainless it can be summed up with the word "BANG!" is a good thing. Destroy Mecca with an airstrike, and you risk spreading chaos across the globe so dangerous that no American will be safe anywhere outside of America in your lifetime. And people who want to see Saudi Arabia punished for its barbaric treatment of its subjects but can't think of a better way of doing it than indiscriminately incinerating Saudi Arabia's subjects with incendiaries and high explosives are so disturbingly stupid they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a ballot paper, ever. |

Topic | Rare white tiger kills a zookeeper. Family decides to spare it. |
Firewerx 10/18/18 4:31:13 PM #6 | If you enter a tiger cage, isn't that a teensy-weensy bit of a risk? I mean, what would have been the rationale behind destroying the tiger? "It could no longer be held safely in captivity"? Why, because it could no longer be trusted for a zookeeper to enter its cage safely? But could you really do that with any tiger? |

Firewerx 10/18/18 3:19:36 PM #20 | MC_BatCommander posted... The sheer loss of life he caused is so staggering... It's hard to even grasp the idea of 1M people dying let alone 30-50. What a damn monster. Imagine between half a million and one million people murdered in just 100 days. That was the genocide in Rwanda in April-July 1994. |

Topic | Breaking: Saudi Arabia is preparing to admit that it killed Jamal 'by accident.' |
Firewerx 10/15/18 4:20:50 PM #40 | As much as I would puke to see the Saudi monarchy and its hired murderers and torturers predictably wriggle off the hook, we need to be aware that a lot of the regimes to which the West happily sells lethal hardware have records on human rights that are just as bloodstained as Saudi Arabia's -- it's just that they're not usually publicized. It's good that the Khashoggi case has shone a rare spotlight on the unsavoury activities of just one of our disgusting customers; but if we're going to suspend normal business (let's face it, we're not), then we need some steel in our moral backbone and stop shaking hands on arms deals with others too. |

Topic | Michael Jackson was found not guilty. Why do you still dislike him? |
Firewerx 10/14/18 1:31:15 AM #32 | I think people are wrongly inclined to give Jackson the benefit of the doubt to an extent that they wouldn't give to other people on whom the same suspicions fell, because they admire him as a performer. I think other people are wrongly inclined to condemn Jackson as undeniably guilty on the basis of suspicion, because for them an allegation of child sexual abuse is always proof enough. I don't dislike him, although I dislike his music. I don't pretend to know what the true facts of the case are. |
