This thread makes me want Friendfeed to have an option for large threads to load 10 of x comments, rather than load x more comments. - Sparky
I definitely agree, Sparky, but I'd like both, "View x more comments - View last 10 comments" is what I'd love to see. - Jimminy
Perhaps have it show up just after the 'x more comments' if x > 25 or something. - Sparky

Jimminy, I guess I just assumed.. Akiva is usually a woman's name in Hebrew.. - David Gross from email
David, huh? Tell that to Rabbi Akiva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) which is where the name comes from. - Rochelle
Akiva's a boy! He's not a girl! He's a boy! - Christopher Harley
LMAO, I'm surprised, that David never this belief sooner here. - Jimminy
Wishful thinking, perhaps. - Akiva Moskovitz
Why are my private beach photos on Akiva's feed? - Mike Nayyar from iPhone
Mike, I think it's because Akiva felt like sharing a picture of the back of his head, like always.(guy on the far right) - Jimminy
Totally can't be me, Jimminy. No kippah. - Akiva Moskovitz
I forgot, also you're a very handsome guy(saw the wedding images), I don't understand why you don't like to share your face. Rochelle is a lucky lady. - Jimminy
Jimminy, it's an irrational phobia. No different than people who are afraid of heights, spiders, clowns, or Canada. - Akiva Moskovitz
Oh, and thanks! You sly dog, you! - Akiva Moskovitz
I say again. WTH! - Give 'Em DBizness
Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French? - Jimminy
I don't think even Canadians know that difference. - Akiva Moskovitz

On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread. - Matthew DeVries
I think everyone who has participated in this thread has 'culled' themselves privately. - Akiva Moskovitz

Not exactly a balanced news source. - Jason Nunnelley
@Jason: strange to hear him called a “source” - I guess he is. But w/r/t his site, I dunno - it's weird - source doesn't feel like the right word. But regardless, not sure what you're saying here. Matt's headline - as silly as it is - is accurate. - Anthony Citrano
Well I will give (grudging) credit to Drudge (and Newsmax) - in that they don't pretend to lack bias. They, unlike Fox, are right up front about their agenda, and don't claim "fair & balanced"...LOL. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)
totally unbalanced - Joe Silence is not dead
@Dead and @Denise: so what does that have to do with this? I'm confused. All Matt did was point to the AP story. - Anthony Citrano
Ah Anthony, my apologies -- I was just being snarky, honestly. - ProsePetals (aka Denise)
It's the picture of Obama with the kids that offends my reasonable taste. - Jason Nunnelley
As for the merit of the story, it's bizarre to me that some people hail this as a move in the right direction. It's a terrible policy announcement. It's virtually entrapment. They will prosecute people they want to prosecute and they will selectively use the laws to damage political enemies. Why not simply work with the FDA and Congress to change the stupid drug laws that make it a crime to grow an herb that is known to alleviate nausea and discomfort. - Jason Nunnelley
@Jason: as I said elsewhere, I am (perhaps obviously) one of those who hail it as a move in the right direction. And I think anyone who seriously considers the internals would understand why. First - the FDA has nothing to do with this, basically. The (federal) problems lie in two places: Congress and the DEA. Congress needs to change the law; this is being worked on. And the AG doesn't... more... - Anthony Citrano
Anthony, It's going to be abused. And, you walk a tight rope selling medicinal substances the government reserves the right to send you to jail for selling. What do you do when the law and order party wins the next election and you're eyeball deep in distributing plants to people that actually need them? Do you stop cold turkey or risk spending 20 years in jail or getting shot? The... more... - Jason Nunnelley
@jason: I understand all that. What I don't get is your suggested alternative from where they sit. So I'll ask this: if you were the AG - in light of the situation as it stood when you took office - what would you have done? - Anthony Citrano
Anthony, it's the public "don't worry, we're going to stop pursuing you guys" that bothers me. They're still going to have the ability and will prosecute it at will. What has the administration done to deal with the bad law? - Jason Nunnelley
Anthony, sorry - I'll answer your question. I'd silently tell my people I'm against "wasting" our resources on pursuing people that are quite often actually helping people. But, I view this as an administration position, not just the AG. And, to be blunt, the AG shouldn't get to pick and choose what law he upholds. He isn't a legislator. There is a place to have this debate. In a month... more... - Jason Nunnelley
@Jason: and you really, seriously think that the best move the President could make - on this issue, at this moment - is to "make an issue" out of marijuana decrim? Could you be serious? Why doesn't he just go barnstorming on behalf of southern Republicans instead? - Anthony Citrano
Anthony, being a southern Republican, half of us are on his side if he decrim's medical marijuana. It's a state's rights issue. That bunch of nanny state yankees in DC don't have any business telling cancer patients in LA what they can use to ease their pain, especially if they can grow it, administer it and pay for it themselves. Clarence Thomas agrees with me. [Most] Americans don't... more... - Jason Nunnelley
Well, being a libertarian myself, I share your assessment here. Most smart conservatives are on board. But also being one with my fair share of experience both with drug policy and American politics, I'd just go back to my earlier statement that, given the internals and the current political dynamic, this a move in the right direction. The next move (assuming a new DEA commish doesn't reclassify - dare we dream) belongs to the US Congress. - Anthony Citrano
Anthony, I don't mind admitting what you already know - that I find the DEA making drugs known to be good treatments unavailable without medical reasoning bewilderingly stupid. Seems like the FDA should make that call. And, since the government holds patents on canniboids, they obviously know and accept the medical legitimacy of the substance. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi... - Jason Nunnelley

I read the briefs on it, like most everyone else. http://blogs.usdoj.gov/blog... I will read it throughout though (right now). I think Buckley would be with me on the legislative process.

Ahem, may I mention, the pianist on the Background is Duke Ellington, The Duke... "In a Sentimal Mood" was one of Duke fav tunes and he enjoyed to play it with "The Rabbit" also on the saxophone, but who was "The Rabbit" ? who was that musician ? ;-) - Thierry Lhôte
Duh! Sure! The Duke is the one who wrote it! And the Piano is definitely Ellignton's. That's the Duke! Ha! The Rabbit, yes I know, he's the "creamy" Johnny Hodges! "He looked like a rabbit, no expression on his face while he's playing all this beautiful music." —dixit Johnny Griffin :) - directeur
At the end of the first take of this recording, the producer went to see Trane, just to tell him that it was ok, and Trane, who was some kind of perfectionnist said "no, I want to make a second take" until Duke Ellington told him "No, John, calm down, it was PERFECT." Then John Coltrane agreed ;-) - Thierry Lhôte

My co-worker is so frustrated by what's happening right now she's actually crying. It breaks my heart, so much worse than just being frustrated alone.

Maybe I can find context if I read more of your posts, but what's "happening" right now? - Jason Nunnelley
Thursday afternoon. :P Basically there was a lot of chaos induced by my boss calling from China after 4:30pm with complex urgent tasks, but we both had somewhere to be by 5:30. It worked out in the end. A year ago I might have cried too, but happily I've learned not to care. - Lo
Gah, I hate being that frustrated. Sympathies to your coworker and kudos on the not caring (a valuable skill in its own right). - Ayşe E.
It took me a long time to realize that not caring about the company so much could make me a more valuable employee (not to mention protect my sanity). Stupid protestant work ethic! - Lo
You know, it's frustrating caring more about someone's business than they do. I can't tell you how many times I get angry because I try to tell someone to play for eventual challenges only to have them freak on me when that eventuality arrives and they've made zero preparations. - Jason Nunnelley
Jason, that sounds very frustrating indeed! I get stuck because the owner (this is a small biz) now finally says he values my opinion, but if I disagree with him he sometimes/often (unpredictably) takes it as a personal attack. So he'll say "what do you think, I value your input" and I wonder "does he really want to know or does he just want mindless agreement?" I can be a yes man or a useful critic, but it's hard to know which job I have today :P - Lo
My experience is that people like just enough tough honesty to let themselves believe you're honestly agreeing with them most of the time. - Brad Greer
Brad has it figured out. - Jason Nunnelley
Brad has everything figured out, it's his most annoying quality :D - Lo
Brad, I thought about it for a while, and I think the reason I struggle with that is that it feels like fundamental dishonesty to me. To feign agreement with a stupid idea is to suggest that I approve of it as wise. I'm not sure why that upsets me so much. Intellectual arrogance perhaps? Or the extreme aversion to dishonesty brainwashed into me by 12-steppers? - Lo
Lo, I suffer from that as well. It's why I just avoid employment where I have to stroke egos. It's cost me much. It's about 10% principles and 90% I just don't want to compromise on inner things like opinions and beliefs. You don't get to tell me what to think. Compromising principled behavior has never proven profitable for me. Experience tells me someone gets hurt. If you are... more... - Jason Nunnelley
Good point, Jason. The few times I've been asked to do something I consider unethical were definitely the low points of unemployment. It's rough b/c the asker obviously believes the action is perfectly fine, so how can I object without seeming judgmental of the other person's morality? Such a conundrum, but I can think of worse problems I suppose. And you're so right about the cost of rewards, that's probably why I have an initial mistrust of the conventionally successful. - Lo
I hope you didn't construe my observation as an endorsement of sycophantism. Just because people want to hear yes all the time doesn't mean you should change your answer. Hell, I'm as guilty as anyone of having prideful opinions that turn out to be wrong upon examination of the evidence. Does that mean I want my work to suffer to save my ego? Nope. - Brad Greer
You are a wise woman Lo. - Joe
Brad, I think the problem is that for most instances where this comes up (for me anyway) there is not a lot of evidence either way. I think that the boss' attitude towards new customers alienates them and hurts our relationship. I think that his feuds with various people are not inevitable as he claims, and they're more harmful than he realizes. Maybe this is ego, but I base a lot of it... more... - Lo

Forget about it: It's SahinK :D... - Yiğit
Paul Graham and Tim O'Reilly - Francisco Costa
Surely Leo's on that list somewhere. - Jason Nunnelley
Wait... yeah - I'm saying Leo because of his power to influence. Obviously, he's not powerful in wielding a producer corporation, etc. Do you consider Larry Ellison a player anymore? - Jason Nunnelley
You people are funny. He said powerful, not ability to make lots of noise. - Cristo
Steve Jobs, the Google founders and Eric, soon-to-be billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, Evan Williams, and Steve Ballmer. - Cristo
SahinK - Opeth
If Leo's not on there he should be... maybe Mike Arrington - he seems powerful - Chris Heath
Yeah Mike Arrington is super powerful, except when he gets spit on, quits blogging, and runs to Hawaii for two weeks. And Leo is powerful too. He's proved he can prevent fat grouchy old guys from using his studio. - Cristo
No blogger is going to make the top 7. - LogEx
It's hilarious to me that some people think bloggers are the most powerful people in tech. - Cristo
Who are the first 6? (So we don't offer a repeat.) - Kevin Pedraja
He's not going to reveal it before his column is out. They're all going to be bloggers though. ;) - Cristo
I'd pick some random Chinese CEO of a company who actually makes the computers we use. - Rodfather
like the CEO of Lenovo? - Chris Heath
Asus, Foxconn, HTC, etc - Rodfather
Peter Chou. He's not random, and I've met him. :) - Cristo
Cristo, a guy like Arrington does have power, how that stacks up to guys like Jobs and Balmer is something that i'd be interested in hearing a debate on, but you can't deny that he does have power. - Chris Heath
Chris, I didn't say he didn't have power, but he doesn't control billions of dollars worth of assets. At least, I think the Segways they ride around there at Techcrunch didn't cost that much. Nobody I know outside of the tech field has heard of Arrington. - Cristo
and what does it take to have power in the tech industry? an executive of a company only has power over the products and services that the company provides (along with power over other companies via contracts) - a blogger (powerful ones at least) can move a product of the shelf, whereas any other exec besides Jobs doesn't have that ability - Chris Heath
i guess what i'm saying is that i'm more interested in what power means to people (and how you quantify it) than i am in ranking who's got more of it - Chris Heath
If blogging disappeared tomorrow, products would still sell. Bloggers spend more time promoting themselves than anything else, and they also make lots of noise about stuff they understand, while ignoring all the stuff that's too complicated for them to understand. - Cristo
sure, but blogging is the new word of mouth - Chris Heath
Word of mouth is still word of mouth. Are you a blogger? Because we're communicating right now, and I don't consider this blogging. - Cristo
let us have the link after you have written it. we would like to read it - ffcode
Jobs, Ballmer, Marrissa Mayer(everyone knows she's really in control), Paul Graham, Jason Calacanis(maybe), Ev Williams, Obama - Jimminy
ok i'll cede that what we're doing now is more like word of mouth than blogging... blogging like promotion/marketing when done in a shady way (see FTC's recent moves) and can also be like a grassroots kind of consumer reports as well - Chris Heath
SahinK is the guy you are asking. - A.Sinan YILMAZ

Jason Calacanis, I'm iffy about putting on the list, it would have to be... nope I got nothing, those were blog related startups that got him here. - Jimminy
I think that's it, sad that their promoting that. - Jimminy
definitely SahinK ... he is just... dunno... tremendous! - fmo
Really, I'm intrigued tell me more, and I know Eric and Larry Page and Sergey Brin are. - Jimminy

Ok, I just saw it. Zuckerburg, really? I think I would have gone with Ellison or Bezos, now that I'm thinking about it more. - Jimminy
Bezos is a good choice. I forgot about him. Ellison doesn't really innovate though. - Cristo
Yeah, Ellison, just rides the Oracle Pony to the bank. - Jimminy
Cristo, who are next to your 7 + Bezos? - Jérôme Flipo
nobody's really talking about the power aspect... sure Ellison doesn't innovate, but what does that have to do with power? and again: what is power in the tech industry anyways? I hope kevin addresses this aspect of the issue rather than glossing over it and just making up a list - Chris Heath

Bravo Thomas. The more I see of this kind of thing, the more convinced I am that I won't be renewing my Pro account. I hope that the members will consider likewise. Yes there is a huge, valuable community on Flickr, however, it is time to build the community elsewhere. Yahoo needs to be shown that people are talking with their "feet" not just their mouths. It is obvious words don't mean anything to Yahoo. - Kenton from fftogo

"Don’t vent your frustrations, rant, or bore the brains out of other members.Flickr is not a venue for you to harass, abuse, impersonate, or intimidate others. If we receive a valid complaint about your conduct, we’ll send you a warning or terminate your account. " - Pat Rice from twhirl
Pat they didn't need to destroy a community with over 3,000 members. A simple warning over whatever they found offensive in the group would have been a more responsible way to deal with the situation. They used a shotgun to kill a gnat. - Thomas Hawk
Y'know, Mr. Hawk, this Blessed Martyr of the First Amendment schtick is getting *really* old. You're in the habit of acting like a little child on services that you don't own, and when you get spanked for it you come back with guns blazing. I recommend abandoning this silly crusade, apologize to Heather (for defending a group in which she was called 'an evil c*nt'), and go take some pictures. - Pat Rice from twhirl
I'm not a member of that Group Pat. I don't think expecting Yahoo not to destroy user data wantonly is too much to ask. Even so, if a single member in a group of over 3,000 members calls somebody a "cunt" and flickr doesn't like it, then they can delete the post, discipline the user, whatever. There is no need to nuke a group and make everyone pay for the inappropriate comment made by a single user. - Thomas Hawk
The time to debate the Flickr TOS is *before* you violate them, not after. - Pat Rice from twhirl
You make it sound like this group was a bunch of pure & innocent photographers, discussing - purely & innocently - apple pie, motherhood & photography. Then this one solitary nutcase posted one single message in which he called Heather a name, and Flickr responded by deleteing all the pure & innocent discussions just to get rid of one single solitary post that offended the overly-sensitive Heather. I don't think you're being entirely honest here. - Pat Rice from twhirl
Heather was not called a "name" that led to the nuking of DMU Pat. Heather was called a name in another group that was formed after DMU was nuked. And she was called the name (which I understand has now been voluntarily retracted) by a member in a fit of frustration after seeing our community destroyed. In a group, by the way, that I am not affiliated with at this time. The original DMU... more... - Thomas Hawk
Rather deal with the thread at issue or the members at issue Flickr choose instead to simply nuke the entire group, including the *vast* majority of threads that were well within Yahoo's TOS. They killed a gnat with a shotgun. They destroyed a significant body of user data that did not belong to them. - Thomas Hawk
So the users own the copyright of thier forum posts?? - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
Man, Yahoo! sure does know how to alienate its power users. They should consult Twitter! - Jason Nunnelley
So, a little more of the truth comes out. The group was not so innocent after all. I begin to suspect that there were repeated TOS violations, and repeated warnings from Flickr, but the group carried on in its heated & controversial way under the mistaken believe that the First Amendment guarantees them access to Flickr. - Pat Rice from twhirl
Surely policing individual posts in a group is the responsibility of the group admins. Weren't you one of those, Mr. Hawk? - Pat Rice from twhirl
Pat it's kind of hard to police individual posts when no warning is given and Flickr's Community guidelines prohibit someone from being "that guy." Either way, though flickr could have pointed out the post that they objected to and allowed us to deal with that rather than nuke the group without warning. It was not necessary to destroy thousands of hours of people's data because they... more... - Thomas Hawk
Pat, no warning of any type was given to me or any other admins in this case. The "warning" that was listed in the email from them simply stated that the group was being deleted. That is not a warning at all. There was no opportunity to respond to what they objected to. - Thomas Hawk
It's hard for me to have an opinion. On the one hand, Flickr isn't talking, so I don't know their side of it. On the other is the credibility-impaired Mr. Hawk, who's already shown a tendency to gloss over awkward facts. What else isn't he telling us, I wonder.... - Pat Rice from twhirl
Pat happy to have a conversation about any of the details. You'd think in the spirit of transparency Flickr would be here too. Heather Champ does in fact have a friendfeed account. I'm not glossing over any awkward facts. You seem to object to the fact that one of the users in this community called Heather Champ a "cunt." The facts of this situation are clear. This statement that was... more... - Thomas Hawk
now i'm curious to read the discussion thread that got the group banned in the first place! - Loc
Pat, I can appreciate your desire to stay independent until hearing all the facts but the facts we know are these: Flickr didn't disclose why they nuked the group, Hawk's high profile enough to address privately or publicly and instead of defending their actions with some form of public or private explanation people at Yahoo! are literally making a joke out of these and similar... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Remember when we were a colony fighting for our independence? And then someone dragged our sorry asses into Vietnam to "defend against communism." Ho Chi Min... more... - Cristo
Cristo, politics aside the realities of anti-communist US behavior stem from Soviet fears. The USSR was gobbling up territory at a shockingly memorable rate. We had just completed a war against a murderous totalitarian state and our generals saw a similar personality in the Kremlin. Korea, Vietnam and Taiwan were less about American interests and more about drawing lines in the sand. I don't think Vietnam was about loyalty to the French, but about loyalty to what the US viewed as civilized democracies. - Jason Nunnelley
As for the W lied theory, I think that's not a wholly honest assessment. We didn't go into Iraq under false pretenses. To argue that ignores White House rhetoric and attitude Americans had after September 11th. W.

Jason: the Iraq War was mostly a project of the PNAC, JINSA, AEI and other neoconservative outfits -- Bush and Cheney were bit players, not originators or leaders of this operation; they read the lines they were fed by their handlers. The neocons had been planning the Iraq War years before 9/11, and were awaiting the "New Pearl Harbor" (their words) which would permit them to set the... more... - Sean McBride
I don't think it was a mistake to go to Afghanistan. The error was invading Iraq - Dave Hodson
Jason: The same neoconservatives who were the ringleaders of the Iraq War are now leading the campaign to escalate the Afghanistan War and to start a war with Iran. Nearly all of them are pro-Israel militants associated with the agenda of Israel's Likud Party. They never make the slightest effort to provide a rational cost-benefit analysis of their schemes from the standpoint of the American interest. - Sean McBride
@Sean - super insightful (as always). Your post really made me think - Dave Hodson
Dave -- what would be a mistake, in my opinion, would be turning retaliation against al-Qaeda into a permanent occupation of Afghanistan -- Vietnam redux. I supported going into Afghanistan after 9/11 (even though I couldn't help but notice that the hijackers had little to do with Afghanistan), but I didn't envision that operation turning into a replay of the Vietnam War -- that strikes me as sheer madness. - Sean McBride

Anthony, it's not even given as the primary justification. They needed some veil of justification, an internationally legal purpose.

Maybe I give Americans too much credit. I'm often guilty of that, assuming they are more sophisticated than they really are. But, everyone in my neocon and libertarian circles were well aware the real reason to invade Iraq was to create a game change in the middle east. Some believed it would work, many did not.

Jason -- I am always baffled when neoconservatives try to associate themselves with libertarians -- neoconservatism and libertarianism are nearly polar opposite ideologies. Neocons are obsessive ethnic nationalists, often messianic ethno-religious nationalists. Libertarians prize universal meritocracy and talent and are usually turned off by militant ethnic and religious nationalism.... more... - Sean McBride
Jason -- what did you mean by the phrase "kill them all"? I wasn't surprised to discover that you are a pro-Israel militant -- most Iraq War supporters are. You sound like you are to the right even of Likud on matters Israeli. - Sean McBride
Spencer -- define "victory" in Afghanistan. What would a victory look like and how is it attainable? At the moment we are turning more and more Afghanis into enemies of the United States -- just as we did in Vietnam. Violent foreign occupations usually produce that result. - Sean McBride
From my blog: "Palestinians have as angry and aggressive a people as ever, and the only way to defeat such an enemy is to kill them all. Israel has chosen to not commit genocide." So, if you know what I mean by "Israel has chosen not to commit genocide," perhaps you understand that I'm backing the idea that Israel can't win and should retreat from the area because they can't win without themselves acting like monsters. - Jason Nunnelley
Sean, people who are literate can read my blog post and decide for themselves. Since the post is supporting the idea of Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian enclaves and patient diplomacy, it seems someone interested in the truth would know where I stand on the topic. Or, you can clip segments of my words and twist them to mean what you like, relying on the laziness of the reader. You just called me a proponent of genocide. And, you have slandered me. - Jason Nunnelley
more and more seem to be of this view. Worth noting that they are 2 very different wars. - winckel
Jason -- you used the phrase "kill them all" with reference to the residents of Gaza, did you not? It's reasonable to ask what you had in mind when you wrote those words. Perhaps you misspoke and should rewrite or delete that comment. Or do you want to explain it? I've heard quite a few pro-Israel militants suggest that Arab and Muslim nations in the Mideast should be nuked en masse. - Sean McBride
Sean, my words are clear. "the only way to defeat such an enemy is to kill them all. Israel has chosen to not commit genocide." I condemn that behavior as genocide and then go on to say "There have never been any successful negotiations between these neighbors. And, the likelihood that a peaceful arrangement will be made today is not good. However, with strength in position, there is hope." I think anyone who reads the blog can see that I advocate peaceful coexistence. - Jason Nunnelley
Sean, seriously - I posted that bigot comment to get under your skin. I honestly don't see how any reasonable person can read that entire blog post and miss the point. If I wrote an article about the holocaust would you assume I was a Nazi? If I explained the options of the final solution, would that mean I endorsed it? Are you that simple, or just bigoted because you think I'm a Zionist? - Jason Nunnelley
Jason: I reread your entire essay carefully (I found it fairly difficult to parse), and it may be unfair to accuse you of advocating genocide. I apologize for that interpretation. You also wrote this: "For decades, indigenous people in the area far outnumber the Israeli transplanted families. Additionally, they are extremely hostile as a group. The commonly accepted position amongst... more... - Sean McBride
Yes, I believe there are people in Palestine that want to eliminate the Jewish nation. It is common, and it is commonly accepted. It is incredibly difficult to gain the simple concession that the Jewish state of Israel has a right to exist. I don't believe this because I'm a Zionist Jew. I believe this because I talk to eastern people and I read what they write, and this is a commonly held position. - Jason Nunnelley
@Jason you almost beg for rude comments :-/ - A.T.
Jason -- how many Americans would be upset if Anglo-Christians declared the United States to be an Anglo-Christian state? Modern Western democracies have moved beyond the era of ethno-religious states -- they are the states of all their citizens, from all ethnic and religious groups. Most of Israel's problems with the rest of the world seem to revolve around this critical issue. - Sean McBride
Sean, FYI - I'm neither a Zionist or Jewish. I'm also not a Nazi or a fascist. I don't support fascism in America whether it comes in the form of the liberal Democrat nanny state or the big brother neocon Republican fear-driven corporate state. I try to deal in realities. I talk about the real options on the table. That doesn't mean I endorse the options. I'd like all people to just get... more... - Jason Nunnelley
Jason -- I like this last comment of yours -- we agree on some key political fundamentals. I belong to the Rodney King school of political thought: why can't we all just get along? :) - Sean McBride
What Sean, are you suggesting that Palestinians are angry at Israel because they insist on recognition as a Jewish State? I thought you were arguing against that. Maybe we should build a wall between us, wait it out a few generations and talk peacefully across said wall until we realize that we don't have that much to be angry about. That's kind of what I advocate for most conflicts. - Jason Nunnelley
Or, we could each buy guns and go on a killing rampage to force each other to conform to the ideals we hold. I don't endorse that option. I'm just explaining that it's a commonly selected option. - Jason Nunnelley
I like the fence idea myself. - Jason Nunnelley
Jason -- if Israel wants to define itself as a Jewish state in terms of predominant cultural traditions, that's fine. But if it wants to be a member in good standing of the Western democratic community, it will have to define itself as the state of all its citizens -- including non-Jewish citizens. Equal recognition, respect, rights, opportunities and power-sharing for members of all ethnic and religious groups. - Sean McBride
Sean, that sounds an awful lot like "do as I say or else!" Israel already has provisions for rights of its citizens. They have a significant Arab population that are legal citizens with full rights. - Jason Nunnelley
Jason -- millions of Palestinians in the occupied territories do not enjoy democratic rights under Israeli law -- far from it. And when Arabs, Christians and other non-Jewish groups enjoy as much influence within Israel proper as Jews enjoy within the United States, Britain and other Western democratic nations, then Israel will be accounted by the democratic West as an authentic democratic state. - Sean McBride
Sean, you can't have it both ways. Either the Arab populations in the occupied territories should have their own government (which they do) or they are Israeli citizens. I don't think there's been a big move to become Israeli citizens. - Jason Nunnelley
BACK ON TOPIC .. ;) ... @Jason: you *do* give Americans too much credit. I doubt there was an "average" American who was in favor of attacking Iraq based on the complex geostrategy to which you refer. I agree it was the primary backchannel reasoning, but it was *never* publicly aired by the administration. The administration focused on lies and deceptions because they knew the American... more... - Anthony Citrano
Jason (sorry for the diversion, Anthony): according to some of the best experts on apartheid white South Africa, conditions for the Palestinians in the occupied territories are *worse* than in the former racist South African regime. They are subjected to systematic discrimination and abuse. And Benjamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman apparently have every intention of continuing to build new settlements (for Jews only) in the occupied territories, in pursuit of their vision of Greater Israel. - Sean McBride
Anthony -- many Americans *still* believe that Saddam was behind 9/11 and the 9/11 anthrax attacks (the latter originated from a US government lab). So much for the political sophistication of Americans. - Sean McBride
Anthony, these are two completely different issues. Many Americans voted for Obama because he was going to help them get a better job, obtain free healthcare and maybe even get a break on their mortgage. We call those people profoundly simple. They vote. They live all around us. But, they're not the kind of people I tend to entertain in legitimate political debate. I understand a... more... - Jason Nunnelley
Serious question: did you read between the lines and realize that Bush had geopolitical ideals about invading Iraq? - Jason Nunnelley
Jason -- as Chirac revealed, Bush thought he was waging the battle of Armageddon in Iraq against Gog and Magog, as part of a Christian Zionist holy crusade. Attributing any kind of rational geopolitical calculations to his thought processes is misguided. - Sean McBride
@Jason: I agree with you regarding the simple ones, and I too try not to engage them in deep political discussion. But I now think your optimism extends beyond the average American and to the former President of the United States. I do not believe he understood the underlying rationale, either. And to your other q about my awareness of the underlying ideology - I was exposed to it more than most, good sir - even having to tolerate (and engage) it over many pre-invasion dinner conversations. ;) - Anthony Citrano
#1 I was NEVER under the impression that Iraq was about religion, oil, terrorism or national security, at least not in the way most of us think of national security. I think Bush had geopolitical ideals at the core of this whole west driven democratic international corporatism (we need a word for that, and NOT fascism). He spoke on the topic carefully. I think he intentionally used... more... - Jason Nunnelley

I can't imagine that membership in Skull and Bones is smiled... more... - Jason Nunnelley
So, Anthony. The original point you made was that we should just leave Iraq immediately, as well as Afghanistan. I assume you believe the inevitable slaughter that will happen in both locations once we leave is inevitable and though our fault can not be avoided or isn't something we are capable of resolving. - Jason Nunnelley
Is this 'inevitable slaughter' something that can be held off indefinitely through a continued American presence? - Andrew C
Andrew, I don't know. After 8 years we don't seem to be close to a sustainable government in Afghanistan. We're likely closer in Iraq. We've occupied South Korea until this very day. Oddly, Americans don't seem upset about the 70,000 soldiers we have stationed in Korea and Japan. Both are occupations lasting more than 50 years. We still have troops in Europe. Yet we don't suffer or cause many losses with those troops. It's not the same. But, we're not big on leaving occupied territory. - Jason Nunnelley
Historically, we left Vietnam and Cambodia. Both went very badly after US withdrawal. - Jason Nunnelley
@Jason: yes, I believe the inevitable slaughter is mostly inevitable. I don't mean complete abandonment of these places - but I mean we remove all combat personnel and equipment. If we were serious about that - in the example of Iraq - we would send Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton (accompanied by guys like Scowcroft, Baker, Powell, Wilson, et als) to the region to assemble a predominantly... more... - Anthony Citrano

As you say, the Europe/Asia stations don't incur a lot of casualties, which is why it's not odd that there isn't a lot of American opposition to them. - Andrew C
Sorry, I still say if you allow UBL to get away with this, it will happen again. He swears to drive out the West and reclaim the Caliphate. For the three thousand innocent civilians we need to send a clear message. If we let them off the hook, there would be no consequences. I say, there must be consequences if it takes blood and treasure or else more 9/11's until the 1/4 of earth's culture becomes all of the earth's culture. Not ready to bow to Mecca. Are you? - Phil Boiarski
Phil -- most experts I know believe that OBL has been dead for years, and that al-Qaeda is a relatively inconsequential force (especially in Afghanistan). While you are obsessing about Islam, China, Russia and India are eating our lunch. The "bowing to Mecca" scare rhetoric misses the point that the American economy is in a state of free fall vis-a-vis competitors (and sometimes predators) that are far more formidable than OBL and Adam Pearlman. - Sean McBride
Jason -- why would it be surprising that Bush shared the Armageddonist views of the leading fundamentalist ideologues who constituted his political base? He underwent his conversion to these beliefs long after his initiation into Skull and Bones as an undergraduate. In any case, I can see no reason for Chirac to make up this story -- I am confident that Chirac was relating the truth. - Sean McBride
@jasonn historically, after you left Vietnam and Cambodia (and we left Afghanistan, as British did before, and as you will, too), they went quite badly, but *on their own*. Some of that 'badly' was caused by things like Agent Orange, and some more was caused by their own legacy like Khmer Rouge, but what matters is that the indigenous population of all those nations is perfectly capable... more... - Michael Bravo
"He swears to drive out the West and reclaim the Caliphate." And if he said he plans to raise Atlantis after that, would you think that was a possibility too? - Andrew C
Sean, Chirac's involvement in selling nuclear technology to dangerous regimes colors anything he says regarding people that worked to expose those relationships. I don't doubt that Bush had odd ideas about the middle east. But, in the end he's a worldly educated guy. Maybe his ideas are horribly bad. But, I think he had terrestrial goals in the middle east. - Jason Nunnelley
Andrew, Chirac is a politician who personal and nationally profited from doing things Bush tried to expose to the world. I'm not saying I buy everything Bush said. I'm not saying Chirac always lied. But, he likely wasn't forthcoming about the deals he had in the middle east and his personal fears about exposure. I didn't expect a lot of breadcrumbs leading back to H. Bush after the invasion either. - Jason Nunnelley
Michael, America suffers from a bad case of WWII guilt and a continued feeling of responsibility for USSR occupation in eastern Europe. The US has an underlying paranoia that another Hitler, genocide may occur, and a deep fear of a globalized power that may in fact successfully overtake the US. Without these fears, the military industrial complex has no place, and its share of American... more... - Jason Nunnelley

Sean, the conspiracy theories conflict. Bush is suffering from hallucinations telling him to create a Palestinian state and bring peace to the Arab nations in one story and Bush is conspiring with Christian Nazis to commit genocidal extermination of all Arab people in the other. - Jason Nunnelley
Jason: are you coming at this issue from a particular branch of Christianity? Which one? Christian Zionists aren't a "conspiracy theory" -- they are a set of particular individuals (named in an above comment) who have left behind themselves a long paper trail of books, articles and sermons which articulate particular beliefs, doctrines and plans. They have been heavily manipulated by... more... - Sean McBride
Notice, by the way, that Bush accomplished nothing in terms of bringing about a Palestinian state and a Mideast peace agreement -- that was window dressing for the real project: destroying Iraq, as the opening move in destroying several Mideast nations on the neocons' target list. If the Iraq and Lebanon Wars hadn't gone so badly, Bush would have probably attacked Iran, as part of his holy war against Gog and Magog. - Sean McBride
To claim that Bush planned to exterminate the Iraqi people is a bit nutty. As for the McCarthy like suggestion that I'm a Zionist sympathizer, I really can't play along in good conscience. - Jason Nunnelley
Jason: the neocons sought to destroy Iraq as a military threat to Israel, using Christian Zionists like Bush as their proxy, and that is what they did. They never had any intention of creating a Palestinian state (they oppose that policy) and of course Bush didn't come close to producing one. - Sean McBride
Jason: you said: "I'm hesitant to buy into this idea that Bush decided he was working through Biblical prophecy. Perhaps my own understanding of those prophecies is part of my hesitation." From which branch of Christianity are you coming in your understanding of those prophecies? Probably not the same branch as Bush, who surrounded himself with Christian Zionists and Christian Armageddonists. For instance, Joel C. Rosenberg was a repeat visitor to the White House. - Sean McBride
Sean, OK. I guess in context that makes more sense. Sorry. So, here's my view: I don't wholesale buy the pre-millennial interpretations. I've read Revelations several times and much of the modern theories just don't jive to me. There's not really a clear prediction of any specific government or movement. I think most believers are somewhere between me and completely lost on the subject.... more... - Jason Nunnelley
As for theories and doctrines, the term antichrist is someone who claims to be a prophet or a spiritual leader and denies Christ. It's really quite simple. People who would come to appose Christ are antichrists. It's like anticommunists or anticapitalists. "Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son." John 2:22 And, Christians are told not to follow such a man to not keep company with him. They are not told to wage war. - Jason Nunnelley
Jason: you seem to be reasonable on the subject of end time prophecies, but there are many influential Christian Zionists in the Republican Party who clearly aren't. Bush 43 was their guy; he seemed to be singing from their hymn book. (And I agree that Christian Zionism has nothing to do with mainstream Christianity or authentic conservatism; it's a bizarre cult based on the same Confederate fundamentalism which on biblical grounds defended slavery as an institution during the Civil War.) - Sean McBride
More than errors in judgment the invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq were premeditated well in advance supreme war crimes.

Cristo, I'm in agreement with you. The fate of the US currency is sealed. The producers of the world have decided to stop trading us goods for pieces of paper. They have decided that our pieces of paper aren't any more valuable or real than their pieces of paper. Our elected nannies have chosen to continue playing games with pieces of paper instead of helping to build a productive nation. - Jason Nunnelley

“In terms of cardiovascular diseases — the No. 1 cause of death; 4 out of 10 people die of it in the U.S. and Europe — we know that they will not die of cardiovascular death,” Fontana said. His subjects have cholesterol around 160, blood pressure around 100 over 60, high HDL, low triglycerides and very low levels of inflammation. “So these people won’t develop these diseases,” he said. “And I think that’s an important finding. Because every day doctors are publishing hundreds of papers on circulation research and medications that are lowering blood pressure or cholesterol by a small bit.
