I didn't get that. It's the same 'god,' it's just a different language. They fear they might be converted? Are the people that stupid?

Re: In today's news...
People who try to restrict other people's speech often don't have the mental capacity to understand said speech
So yes, people are stupid
As for more stupid and dangerous stuff: ISIS again
Key oil refinery in Iraq taken over by ISIS
Not exactly the best situation for Iraqis
And those same people claim to have nukes
And plan to use them on Israel to liberate Palestine(And assumed to try to turn the entire region to glass)
Seriously way over the line, nuking people is not a good idea no matter what side you're on and can not in any way lead to something that could be considered a positive result for anyone living in the region
Even if its against Israel
And some slightly older ISIS news
They've got Saddam's old toxins production facilities as well

Re: In today's news...
As someone who's very liberal with a slight touch of libertarian, I don't agree with this move. The U.S. shouldn't be playing the role of world police, and this situation is spiraling too fast to throw such large sums of money at it.
And I'm sure that funding foreign groups simply because they're anti-whatever group is bad totally isn't something that would bite the U.S. in the ass somewhere down the line. *coughContrascoughNoriegacoughBinLadencough*

Re: In today's news...
Got this one linked to me just now:
If you refuse a breath test to see if you're drunk, the cops will strap you down and take your blood so they can test that instead.
At what point did this become a good idea?
The source, of course, is a bit biased to supporting the opposition to this

Re: In today's news...
It was the lobbyists for the pro-vampire agenda. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
...Realistically though, there is that whole 4th Amendment thing that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. While the reasoning of wanting to prevent drunk drivers is there, it's also pretty unreasonable to force a blood extraction off of a normal citizen if they refuse a "voluntary" breathalyzer test for a mandatory police checkpoint.

Re: In today's news...
The above counts only for Germany and other countries that have similar rules, so don't take my word for it.
These blood tests are actually a priviledge you are not told about. As you are forced to do undergo a test anyway, you should actually DEMAND a blood test, if your breathalizer result shows that you are (slightly) over what is allowed. Blood tests allow for a narrower error margin, which can make a difference in your favor.

You have at some point come to terms with the fact that we live in times of restoration, to use the term loosely. It shows in so many little things.

Re: In today's news...
And then its up to you to prove you're the right owner of it and haven't acted illegally
The shits did that to me and it took two weeks to get access back
Would not recommend
Also, some more old news
Israeli teens gone missing
Then found later, dead
Israel bombs the shit out of Gaza again, somehow thinking this will help prevent it from happening again by making everyone hate them more
And they detain a whole lot of 'terror suspects' while terrorizing entire populations
So basically just the same shit as usual
Paypal is pretty shitty, really. They apparently have the right to completely lock your account any time they want for whatever reason they want(Including using their service 'too much')

Re: In today's news...
Got some pedo news linked
In short, pedophiles in government and high places. If you ever wondered why nobody really does anything about pedos, that's because the people in charge are the pedos
I don't often advocate death or violence, but if someone were to kill these pedo-politicians and 'old boys network' types, the world would be a better place. Once someone willingly and knowingly causes harm to children for their own pleasure, then I will consider them to be less than animals

Nothing good can come from this. But apparently the rockets are not functional at this moment anyway

Re: In today's news...
Then again, part of me is xenophobic towards that small corner of the world in general and just wants them to glass themselves to oblivion so my dysfunctional mind can have one less paranoia bugging it.
I just hope that the farthest the contaminants in those facilities go is a bit outside their containers and no further.
Part of me deep down inside is really fantasizing about this right now. About them messing with these things and somehow screwing it up and dying horribly either completely or in groups of decent numbers and ending with any survivors on site just saying their equivalent of "fuck it" and abandoning the place.

Re: In today's news...
Railguns! Future technology? Nope, it's almost here!
They're much cheaper than conventional cruise missiles, at only $25,000 per shot
It sounds like a lot, but that's a lot cheaper than a missile. And that matters a lot for the military. They'll be rolled out as functional tech at 2017
And one if you enjoy seeing someone who only spouts slogans while bullshitting absolutely devastated by actual arguments when he's not allowed to change the topic
On the Israel stuff, basically
The place is basically a mess, and some parts of the video reflect that mess. It's a bit old by now, but still very recent

Re: In today's news...
With that said, I'm not sure how much our supposed or future "adversaries" have to worry about railgun projectiles. The railgun looks like a great asset in littoral fire support and in surface warfare, but the majority of our current threats come from fast attack craft (FAC)/fast inshore attack craft (FIAC), mine, subsurface (think silent diesel submarines with torpedoes), and ballistic missile antagonists. Warship-to-warship combat hasn't happened on a large scale since the Second World War.
In other news, Angela Merkel turned 60 on Thursday. Happy birthday to my favorite politician from East Germany. :3

Re: In today's news...
Piracy has effectively been decriminalized in the UK.
4 warning letters will be sent if piracy continues in a household, but no legal action will be carried out and it is no longer a crime to pirate media.
