Or hoped to fuck some drunk slut.
Yeah, they took away Constance's chance to fuck a drunk slut!

I didn't go to my prom either, and never had any intention to go. Ended up having a much better time hanging out with my friends then hitting after parties than I would have had going, but I still fought for people I knew who couldn't bring dates because they were underclassmen, and would definitely have fought if they attempted to cancel it because of that.

I went to my girlfriend's prom. I had been out of high school a year already.

No thanks.

Really has nothing to do with spine.  No standing to sue for admittance to the school if they don't live in the district.  If they'd stayed and fought, yeah, the ACLU would probably be all over that.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I know, but it's a bit irritating since, you know, they didn't stay because people were all but chasing them out with pitchforks.

Most of Poland's cultural and political leaders killed in plane crash, including the President

Quote
On board were the national bank president, deputy foreign minister, army chaplain, head of the National Security Office, deputy parliament speaker, Olympic Committee head, civil rights commissioner and at least two presidential aides and three lawmakers, the Polish foreign ministry said. Kaczynski's wife, Maria, also died.

 :OoO: If I hadn't read it in the news, I would have thought it was the setup to another Polish joke.

Yeah, it's basically a case of 30-year old Russian Aircraft (owned and flown by poles) + pilot disregarded urgings of ground staff in bad weather = fuck.

At any rate, the "most" bit is a misnomer. A lot of big names went down on that plane and it's stil tragic, but it's not like the whole government and cultural elite just died on a single plane. Things will continue normally in Poland.

The second worst part is that they were flying out to a war memorial ceremony to commemorate the WWII massacre of 20,000 polish army officers by soviet soldiers. OOPS SYMBOLISM.

I really don't see too much russian skullduggery in this one either:  The president knew of the planes defects, but accepted that the gov wouldn't be able to afford replacements. 

I'm saddened by this myself.  As far as eastern-european leaders go, the poles lost a treasure, although I'm sure they'll manage on..

Yeah, this is probably one of the LAST things Russia wanted.

Russia really wants to be on better terms with Poland (which was a big point behind this meeting), but now they're going to be forever blamed for the crash by the occasional nutjob conspiracy-theorist Pole. In the grand scheme that won't really change much, but it'll still make any rapprochment just that little bit harder.

Well, considering the circumstances, there's as much weight behind a "They wanted Russia to be blamed" conspiracy theory as any other.

Ronald Martin shows why military historians hate any news media, and has probably bumped up stock, not to mention Rupert Murdoch's back pocket.

Frankly, the Confeds played better by the rules of armed conflict than the Canadians did in WW2, or the union did in the same war.

It doesn't matter if you play by the rules if what you're defending is a system of hate and oppression.  I've yet to hear of one thing that they were defending that didn't somehow tie back to slavery.  Their way of life--slavery.  Their economy--slavery.  Their honor--they didn't want to be put on the same level as black people. 

Fuck the confederates and those who wish to celebrate them.

The issue is that "terrorist" is a word that's being applied to any army fighting for an undesirable goal. Martin's calling the Confederate troops terrorists is wrong not because we should respect what they were fighting for, but because that's not the strategy that informed their operational decisions.

Yeah, I think SCD is referring to 'Terrorism' purely in sense of "this is the tactics being used".

... although you could kinda argue that using the CSS Hunley was kinda akin to suicide bombing*  :whoops:

A much more interesting thesis would be that the Founding Fathers were terrorists.

I thought it was more of a 'breach-of-contract' situation.

I've seen that argument made, if only in jest to prove a point.

While guerilla and terrorist is still a term left for debate anywhere in the international halls, the general gist is anyone who uses deliberate tactics to cause fear in the population at large through direct action.

While many of those who respect the confederate military on several grounds understand that the complete and unquestionable defeat of the confederation was an absolute requirement to ensure the continuity of the union which we all benefit from, a standing military that engages legitimate targets including military bodies, centres of transport and logistics (sorry back then that included villages and cities) cannot be terrorist.  

A nation state can support terror, but is not itself a terrorist entity, nor a guerrilla entity.  

As far as slavery and terrorism goes I will withold my thoughts as I have already demonstrated in a smaller public sphere that my knowledge of the events and actions leading to the union's abolition of slavery is lacking.  That being said, changing from a police state to a sharia police state through a sustained campaign of bombings, kidnappings and assassinations is guerilla operations and terrorism (or, depending on the vantage point.. although to the HN it will always be La Terrorism!... .  breaking off from a larger nation state to maintain the status quo through locally elected governments through the use of standing militaries is not.

The use of the CNN logo to push such balderdash to the masses will only serve to polarize them, something which only the likes of Rupert Murdoch, or those freaks who publish bias that comes out of 24, metro and xtra-style freebies (sorry buge, but their angle on the human rights commission has destroyed any credibility) which only serve as advertisement-stuffed aggregate-boxes for masses too cheap to purchase a real paper with opinion and letters to the editor and editorials so bad they give me cancer.
