and it begins.....

the war for the war

i am eagerly anticipating watching evil French companies insist that they have more of a moral right to contracts than evil American companies.

also, i like how the RIAA has already moved to get Iraqi to honor U.S. copyright law. WHO NEEDS INFRASTRUCTURE?

 

[deadair]

i want a part of that action

 

[minxnim]

all the schools will have big NIKE symbols on them and the kids will use their lunchbreaks to make sneakers.

 

[goatschool]

the first line after the byline makes me want to choke the shit out of the next person who says CNN is liberal media in my presence.

 

[xfer]

i also like how people are bitching that the US might rebuild iraq's cell-phone network with the (better) protocols american cell-phones use, instead of the (worse) ones european and most other arab nations use. so the US is supposed to build inferior, brand-new infrastructure that will have to be replaced anyway simply to avoid the appearance of impropriety??

 

[goatschool]

somewhere, somehow, our collective concept of reality was sucked into the howdy doody universe circa 1963

 

[xfer]

well, i think liberals can be just as pro-american as conservatives...would you have preferred "Clinton-imposed sanctions"?

 

[goatschool]

i think i'm comparing apples and oranges.

 

[goatschool]

contrasting, rather.

also, FUCK YOU FOR TAKING AWAY MY CAPS AND MAKING ME SIT HERE COUNTING TO 30 UNTIL MY NEXT FUCKING POST

 

[goatschool]

okay, i take back the caps thing.

 

[xfer]

the count-to-thirty thing infuriates me. i wonder if it's teaching me discipline?

 

[goatschool]

i don't think the disciplinary lessons outweigh the mangled communication/context that an imposed time limit warrants. i mean, it just fucks with the dynamic of a messageboard

 

[xfer]

jeez, stop being so cranky, goatschool. limiting posts to once every 30 seconds is an amazing, nigh-magical panacea that totally prevents abuse and annoyingness.

 

[minxnim]

xfer is saying everyone is cranky and prickly!

anyway, i think maybe i will go over to iraq and see if i can't put in a bid to rebuild all the statues sans saddams face, but with rabbit heads and fetus faces.

 

[xfer]

are rabbits kosher/halal?

 

[minxnim]

yet another thread ruined by you......

 

[xfer]

oh haha sorry, that was a serious inquiry, and i wasn't even thinking about food--doesn't the concept extend to living animals (as either "unclean" or "clean")?

i was just picturing pig statues all over Israel.

 

[FrostGiant]

"Non-Kosher animals include pig, horse, camel and rabbit."

 

[xfer]

holy shit so preppy basically was advocating an american OCCUPATION and erecting insulting monuments all over the country to emphasize american hegemony. sounds like a bush voter to me!
