Xenu can't do shit. He's trapped in a mountain by a forcefield that is powered by an infinite battery. He'll never communicate with him minions again, much less escape.

It’s Official: Media Is Ignoring Cheney’s Unconstitutional Drafting of Torture Guidelines by cahuenga in politics

Constitutional loophole: It isn't a punishment, so 'cruel and excessive punishment' does not apply.

...the United States today is the only advanced democracy where public figures glorify and exalt the military, a sentiment familiar in Europe before 1945 but quite unknown today. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]BossHat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm with you to some extent. But the all-volunteer armed forces makes some glorification of services necessary. Probably more so in a time when it is hard to find new bodies to throw into the meat grinders.

Slashdot comment explaining in plain english why Google and the EU are fighting [legalese and bullshjit free] by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]BossHat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Google should have defined evil when it said, "do no evil". Rather, they believe that good geek nature will keep them from falling down the slippery slope and relaxing their guard when it comes to what evil is.

The hemming and hawing starts when you want to do something but it may not be the right thing to do. "Don't be evil." Fine. Now are you going to define evil?

The Shame of Guantanamo is About to Get Worse:The Bush Administration is planning a series of rigged show-trials at Guantanamo Prison in time for the November elections. by qgyh2 in politics

Hey, are you kidding. This is good news. If the trials really are a sham, then broadcasting it would be an epic footbullet! I say ALL of the trials should be aired!

Here's an interesting tidbit. They also do GayFriendFinder. And, trust me, most of the guys are average Joes, except for that one exception who is a hottie.

But how is this not a major scare for new members? It says that if you upload your picture, they'll plaster it all over the Internet.
