“New evidence! Imagine that! It’s almost as if our government is completely full of shit.”

Nah, that couldn’t be it.  After all, you can’t be a liar, evil, and in the Government.

And it’s not like we have some mechanism in place to produce whatever “evidence” needed to support whatever we want to do…unless Guantanamo+torture counts…

Mr. Obama, what are you going to do about this?  I’m not stupid enough to believe you can snap your fingers and fix the economy, or make N.Korea behave.  But there are many things that are under your control — and who we arrest and how we treat those in our custody are a couple of important ones you control.  We didn’t get rid of the Republicans just so you can do the same things they do…

denelian, it’s a reference (at least I hope it is) to a thread a short while back where Piator was trying to make an analogy between lovemaking and something else, and jokingly making it sound weirder and less potentially erotic every time he rephrased it. Very funny.

See here, and here.

To demonstrate the point, see also this.  Like private parts to the gods are we; they play with us for their pleasure.

However, I don’t regard this slow maundering towards fascism as really appropriate for any sort of humour other than bitter sarcasm.  Your government *is* full of shit, and increasingly obama is looking like just a spray of perfume on the turd.

Okay, which thread was that, I have to check it out.

I’m sure that Obama’s new prolonged detention plan would only apply to people who are a “high security threat” and they’d have a periodic review to assess all the “new evidence”... what could go wrong?

Yeah, Piator, I wasn’t entirely sure I should have done that, but it was too obvious to leave sitting there. And, to paraphrase Shaw, life does not cease to be funny when your entire government imprisons, tortures and kills in your name…fucking bastards.

BTW - feel free to cut it down to “PiaToR” if you need to - it’s pretentious enough as it is.

Bastards are better than this, because bastards of victims of fate, while these scumbags choose the fate of others. And they come from us, from this population.

I made the mistake of looking at the comments on an alternet piece on Helen Benedict’s new books about the sexual assault of female soldiers. The comments were full of guys going, “Oh, STFU, women aren’t really soldiers, they can’t do the job, other women have it worse, they get pregnant to avoid work, they’re lying sluts, etc., etc.,”. Meanwhile, when the topic is an American rapist like Steven Green, the comments are fewer, about how he’s evil, strange, not like us, not one of us etc., etc., It seems that American men don’t rape but American women lie about it all the time.

  Torture and rape have a lot of similarities to one another. The denial about both is almost identical.

Here’s a review about a powerful book about rape: http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3VHW9PESLU9RB/ref=cm_pdp_rev_all?ie=UTF8&sort;_by=MostRecentReview

What the fuck is wrong with you?

And if that doesn’t reveal what your issues are, I don’t know what does—-Ann Coulter and how Al Gore almost stole the election. Rightwinger paranoia in flower.

And a novel is a great book about rape, sandwiched between bitching about Michael Moore and Tom Clancy novels. If only Amazon sold penis pumps, you wouldn’t have to leave your couch.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

He posts drunk.

He also indicated his surname and home town.  Not very clever.

We didn’t get rid of the Republicans just so you can do the same things they do…

This.  A thousand times this.

We are not Republicans.  We don’t vote for the home team b/c they are our home team.  And even being a Chicagoan, fuck this shit, Barry.  You were elected because you promised reform and an end to W’s failed policies.  You promised to give my country back.

Do it, or get the fuck out.

Oh my head!

I took the kids to the zoo with a cold and then spent the next unknown number of hours in bed with a fever (when you feel sick, don’t push it, even to see the lions)

So I look up what started the Piotr comments…and FIND THAT I’M INVOLVED!!

Um…

...Piotr…

Thanks, but no thanks.  That’s just a bit more information than I needed…

Linking to his own reviews? And a novel about rape? Being drunk wouldn’t be an excuse; it just means he’s a little bit more likely to be stupid. Anybody who reads Ann Coulter and believes Al Gore almost ‘stole’ the election has more problems than can be enumerated in one sitting.

Mmm - speaking of drunk, try reading this instead. Entertaining in an alternating “laugh out loud” / “that’s appalling!” fashion.

I was hoping that things would change, I just guess that was to much to ask for.I’ll keep my fingers crossed though

Well, Geez.  Deport his ass as an undesirable alien.  If Iraq wants him, put him on a goddamn airplane, tomorrow.

We just need to give Obama some time. I’m sure in a year or two he’ll approve a committee to appoint someone to think about what might be done.

Well, Geez.  Deport his ass as an undesirable alien.  If Iraq wants him, put him on a goddamn airplane, tomorrow.

He’s being held by the US in Iraq, moron.

Kay,

Even better.  Open the door and let him walk.  He’s an Iraqi, moron.  He’s their citizen.  We are supposed to be fighting for them; be on the same side and all of that.

lynched for miscongeneation, [...] and then probably whipped because i can’t spell

I think you better hope it’s in that order…

“What the fuck is wrong with you?”

Lesse. Giving a positive review of a book that depicts date rape as a horrifying event? Yeah, that must mean I’m f*cked up. That makes sense.

Anyway, I’m done with this dump. I thought at first it was a group of intelligent folks who simply held different opinions. Now I see it’s just an echo chamber. I’m going back to Dana’s Site (where I got linked to this Blog in the first place) where at least there’s robust debate and a genuine diversity of thought and opinion. Here it’s just MegaDittoes All The Time.

How is a fictional account of date rape related to the subject of this thread?

Anyway, I’m done with this dump.
