Don't be stupid, rat.
Your last comments a....<br /><br />Don't be stupid, rat.<br /><br />Your last comments are illogical. My comment referred to your comment as I posted it.<br /><br /><i>A window on the culture we have wrought.</i><br /><br />You indicate the rape of women is the result of a culture "we" have wrought.<br /><br />1. You may have had something to do with it. I didn't. Haven't committed any violent crimes in decades, no murders, no assaults, no rapes. As for contributing to violence in our culture or actually changing our culture, the closest I came was wearing bell bottoms in the 70's. Nope. Sorry. I'm even against abortion as you probably know.<br /><br />2. Looking at the culture you decry, one I don't expecially give a rat's ass for myself for a number of reasons, I have to give them credit for one thing. Over the past couple decades (probably longer) the trend in all violent crimes categories has been down. There have been a couple of years (2006, 2012) where the rates in some categories have ticked up a bit but even in 2012, the number of rapes continued to drop.<br /><br />3. Just my opinion, no way to prove it, but when you say a culture 'we' have created it might have just been a Freudian slip. Frankly, I don't believe you give a flying damn about any of this stuff. You've indicated how you view human life with some of your comments on this blog. When speaking of the deaths in the ME as I recall your fall back position was that you don't give a shit.<br /><br />You started on this subject by pulling it out of your ass when responding to one of Bob's posts as he responded to Deuce and then you got onto a google roll. I frankly don't believe you really give a shit.<br /><br />As for the TV, its a 50" Panasonic. However, we have been looking at that Sharp 80". Nice looking set. Need to check out the specs and reviews though.<br /><br />In the future, spare me you hypocritical pouting and crocodile tears.<br /><br />.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-84985488135384469842013-06-24T01:03:16.115-04:002013-06-24T01:03:16.115-04:00Why should the Guardian be held to a different sta...Why should the Guardian be held to a different standard than Wikileaks?<br /><br />Look at how the US has been assisting in blacklisting Wikileaks and getting the financial institutions to not process their accounts. <br /><br />Why is any one be interesteddesert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37192310495545760972013-06-24T00:56:39.964-04:002013-06-24T00:56:39.964-04:00It was all in jest, Q.

And here’s what Greenwald has tweeted after his appearance this morning: “Who needs the government to try to criminalize journalism when you have David Gregory to do it?” And I want to directly take that on.<br /><br />Because this is the problem from somebody who claims that he’s a journalist, who would object to a journalist raising questions, which is not actually embracing any particular point of view. And that’s part of the tactics of the debate here when, in fact, lawmakers have questioned him. There’s a question about his role in this, The Guardian’s role in all of this. It is actually part of the debate, rather than going after the questioner, he could take on the issues. And he had an opportunity to do that here on Meet the Press.<br /> <br />David Gregory’s logic has a cursory appeal. Why wouldn’t Greenwald have the courage to take on the issues swirling around his reporting? Shouldn’t a Sunday talk show host have the latitude to pose tough questions to another journalist?<br /> <br />Of course. Too bad, however, Gregory didn’t do that. Rather, he seeded his question with a veiled accusation of federal criminal wrongdoing, very much in the tradition of “how long have you been beating your wife.” To repeat the question: “<b>To the extent that you have aided and abetted Snowden</b>, even in his current movements, why shouldn’t you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?”<br /> <br />Bolded text added to highlight a clause loaded with assumption, accusation, baselessness and recklessness. A simple substitution exercise reveals the tautological idiocy of the query: “To the extent that you have murdered your neighbor, why shouldn’t you, Mr. Greenwald, be charged with a crime?”</i><br /><br /><br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2013/06/23/david-gregory-whiffs-on-greenwald-question/?hpid=z2<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-58672957713717025362013-06-24T00:46:07.434-04:002013-06-24T00:46:07.434-04:0055 million of US were killed since 1973, no one is...55 million of US were killed since 1973, no one is interested.<br /><br /><i>79% do not support the current abortion-on-demand policy, saying abortion should be legal only in some circumstances (68%), or illegal in all circumstances (11%).<br /> Marist Poll, December 2011</i><br /><br />But the reality is that while folks may be generally opposed to US policy, no one is interested. <br />Makes them "uncomfortable" to discuss it.<br /><br />Much like arming al-Quieda, in Syria.

Keith Alexander, who has spoken repeatedly in the last two weeks of the agency’s careful protections for Americans’ privacy. <br /><br />The slide posted by The Guardian quotes General Alexander during a June 2008 visit to Menwith Hill Station, the N.S.A.’s major listening post in North Yorkshire, England. <br /><br />“Why can’t we collect all the signals all the time?” the N.S.A. director was quoted as saying. “Sounds like a good summer project for Menwith.” <br /><br />An American official who would explain the remark only on condition of anonymity said: “General Alexander’s comment was a quip taken out of context — nothing more.”</i><br /> <br />http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/22/us/snowden-espionage-act.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&<br /><br />.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-4843400624207001542013-06-24T00:31:38.323-04:002013-06-24T00:31:38.323-04:00And here, Q, I thought you were a member of societ...And here, Q, I thought you were a member of society, not a hermit in a cave.<br /><br />270,000 sexual assaults a year, with 82% of them committed by someone the victim knows.<br />Family or friends of the family.<br /><br />Looks like that is a symptom of cultural dysfunction, to me.<br />That the vast majority of these assaults go unreported to the police another symptom of familial and societal dysfunction. <br />A cultural acceptance of violence against women, and no one is interested.<br /><br />An airman in Nevada can kill over 1,600 Afpakistanis, and no one is interested.<br />270,000 women can be assaulted each year, here in the US, no one is interested.<br /><br />A tad over 1,200,000 abortions were performed in the US, in 2011.
