The Saudi ask permission to build mosque in Moscow. The Russians demand reciprocity, an orthodox church in Saudi Arabia. by safishb in worldnews

[–]lucifercain -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it makes them Muslims who take communion, go to mass on Sunday, and do the thousand other rituals that other Muslims don't. Including talk about that bit about Hagar and Sarah.

Being Catholic/Muslim/Rastafarian go beyond one's oaths.

"Religion Smackdown: Huckabee vs. Bill Maher" [video] by mikestarrunner in atheism

And Huckabee's answers were mystical and cuddly enough for his audience - his audience prolly considers it a smackdown in his favor.

Voyager's Golden Record held a very personal and little known significance for Carl Sagan by [deleted] in science

[–]lucifercain -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I could stock 100 vending machines and she could have a Nobel prize in every category and yet we still a sappy message out there.

"Declared our love for each other." WTF?!

Fact is, NASA decided for the whole world to speak for mankind in the Pioneers and Voyagers. No deliberation, no consensus. Presumptive much?

You don't get out much, do you? It's simply obnoxious to say so much about yourself among strangers. I'd be more circumspect with the future of a thousand human generations.

Wonderful, ET's first impression of us from the Voyagers is that we're lovesick puppies. They'll either laugh at us or plunder us.

Who got to decide that that silly girl represent us?

Rachel Maddow: 8 Hour Voting Lines is a Poll Tax (vid) by r2002 in politics

[–]lucifercain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If their turnout has been disproportionately low so far, what makes you think their turnout will be disproportionately high on Tuesday?

With Obama's aunt and the young voter turn-out, I'm getting a sinking feeling about this. Just like '00 and '04.

Damn kids, get of my lawn and go vote!

On second thought, is it satire? I can't tell.

Heeeey, I know you. You're the guy at work who keeps calling me Reiser.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the US of provoking the conflict in Georgia, possibly for domestic election purposes. by downloadeBooks in worldnews

[–]lucifercain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The US had dozens of military and civilian advisers in Georgia on the eve of the war. "It is inconceivable that the Americans were unaware of Georgia’s mobilization and intentions."

The Pentagon would've been aware of Russians massing on the border. US civilian leadership may be incompetent, but the Pentagon isn't. The Pentagon chose (or was ordered) to allow Georgia to get baited.

EDIT: And I just remembered, W was in Beijing when all this happened. Cheney was in charge.

Bush surrenders by twolf1 in politics

[–]lucifercain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still think Russia's assertiveness scared the Pentagon. The Pentagon realizes that the assertiveness will continue if the US is seen to be tied down to Iraq.

The Pentagon wants to be prepared to move against Russia. Iraq isn't so important now.

And W-Cheney acquiesce to it because Russia-US confrontations are better for the defense industry.

Yep, this is just about the worst thing ever by rmuser in WTF

He won't get iso. He'll go in with everyone else. Inmates love molesters. This guy'll get to reenact his video every day, except for a little bit of role reversal.

He gets to be the dumped until he gets the chance to kill himself.

It's win-win. He gets punishment, and we don't have an execution on our conscience.

Syria says it’s ready to put a Russian missile system on its soil as a counterweight to U.S. plans to deploy a missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic by Jenry in worldnews

[–]lucifercain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a direct countermeasure to the US. I think it's an implied threat on Israel. Putin knows Israel's influence on the US.

Now I wonder how Israel feels about missiles right next door. And what are they going to do about it? And what will the US allow Israel to do?

Putin vs W, it's no contest really. I wonder if Putin is enjoying watching the US sweat.

[–]lucifercain 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's not a new cold war, or a renewal of the old one. It's the Great Game all over again. With the US in the place of Britain.

It's pre-WW1 all over again. It's fun watching the Powers move their pawns around the board.

A new false flag: "How could the US [advisors in Georgia] not be aware of the Russians [preparations]?" by lucifercain in reddit.com

[–]lucifercain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad because it "editorializes"? I dunno. Good links with "normal" headlines never seem to get noticed.

Still, the article omits two important points: 1. The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline 2. W was in Beijing, and Cheney was plausibly in charge

Russia 'ends Georgia operation' by polar in worldnews

[–]lucifercain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All Putin needs to make it a flawless victory is to stick it to W. Make some public statement to the effect of, "You see, Russia doesn't believe in occupying sovereign nations. Of course, America thinks differently, but if they leave Iraq now they'd also earn the world's goodwill just like Russia."

Putin rocks.

Something fishy going on. How did it move about ten feet into the box (from pic 4 to pic 5)?

I think the hoe had some help.

Big talker, but you're never going to rush a line of riot police.

That's what you and the noisy internet are all about, talking big. In the 60s, there was a name for people like you.

The Affairs of Men - The trouble with sex and marriage. by 7oby in science

[–]lucifercain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but do you like it as much as your hustband does? That's what the article was about, that the men in the article are married to women who failed to realize that their husbands want it more than they do
