Season's Beatings

A largely dumb and intransigent generation gets to enjoy the fruits of their dumb and intransigent fathers and grandfathers.

Will they wise up? I doubt it. Even if they do, it'll only bring them sorrow, as even refusing to go along with the consequences of previous insane schemes won't prevent the reckoning, only lessen it.

Most likely is USA/NATO, but they, predictably, blame Russia even though that makes little sense.

Pretty much rubbing your face in the fact that they are reading it.

A constitution for me, but not for thee.

Good on them for recognizing and correcting this. It is a sign that they actually care about user trust.

Just like any central planning schemes, they fail to take into account what the customer wants, for good or "ill".

As expected, this seems to be the case, as the 'cui bono' question points straight to gladio type speculation.

Sounds like they threw down the gauntlet, as their response to Iraq's ultimatum was basically "Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?"

What a square.

Oh, good. Then we can just leave and they will burn themselves out, just like any other commie regime.

It is shameful that Jones is falling for this dope.

How DARE you turn on us!

This article was perhaps the most hilariously shrill. Guns are neo-confederate symbols of oppressing blacks? HAHAHA, maybe if you presume all of the racist gun bans for blacks under Jim Crow still existed. Oddly, though the NYT had a front page editorial as well, the lack of humorously ludicrous claims makes me feel they were just "mailing it in".

All because they didn't like the guy for suing them earlier over a mistaken SWAT raid to try and steal his property.

Sounds like par for the course for the AP. Been a bunch of amateurs over there for years.

Turns out when certain nerve receptor channels can't be built, the body kicks opioid production into overdrive, which is what actually provides the pain blocking. This has now been simulated in mice by giving drugs that block that receptor along with opioids. Sounds like that would lead to one hell of a painkiller.

XCOM in Excel. Mad spreadsheet and VB skills, yo

Wow. These guys really have no idea what they are doing. Enjoy your hyperinflation.

Emulating other regimes known for their freedoms like North Korea.

See, they're running out of children to rape in their pedo dungeons, so they need a new pool. Far as they're concerned, it may as well be the anti-authority types, right?

First, the torture ghouls say closing GITMO would be too expensive (because they wanna build a torture palace in the USA to replace it, not just close it). Italy says "No Thanks" regarding joining the war against Assad ISIS, as they are enjoying the fruits of the Libyan campaign currently. Poland wants to "borrow" US nukes, presumably to start WWIII. Finally, the Iraqi Government is none too pleased about Turkey invading them, supposedly to "help" the Kurds (which, if you know anything about the Turks, sounds like the last thing they'd be interested in doing).

Beat ISIS? Can't even win a Pillow Fight.

For bullshit reasons like having tinted windows.

At least if polls are to be believed. The more interesting poll would be among the age group they intend to fight stupid wars for the Empire. I say this since ~60% of respondents were on land lines, and thus old.
