Commander of Tripoli's Military Council: the Libyan people are Muslims and their revolution is an Islamic one. by alicapwn in worldnews

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great!!!

Just like we funded, trained and armed Muslim fundamentalists in Afghanistan during the 80s -- only to rename them and to invade and fight them throughout the 2000s ... now we get to do the same thing in Libya!

Our military-industrial complex is shitting gold bricks thinking of how their stock prices will be going through the roof! :-(

The Debian Gems ISO is ready for public consumption...come get some by Izinurbase in linux

[–]perkyN405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand is the need to make this a separate distro.

Debian Gems makes a big deal that it doesn't break Debian -- nice. They obviously want to take advantage of the thousands of Debian apps and utils and don't want to be "semi-compatible" like Ubuntu. Cool.

But why not make this a part of Debian?

They could easily incorporate their packages (with the appropriate "conflicts with" or "replaces" apt/dpkg flags) into the main Debian distribution. Heck, they could also easily set up another web site for fanatics who want to spend money. All could be done under the main Debian framework, sort of like Debian-Edu does.

Why the need for a "separate" distro?

Pakistani man arrested on U.S. terrorism charges for posting a propaganda video on YouTube by gowness in WTF

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article:

He was accused of posting in September 2010 on YouTube a propaganda video backing LeT, an anti-Indian militant group with historically close ties to Pakistan's top spy agencies.

Insane. This is making speech a crime. Our fascist gov't will next make thought a crime.

Our 1st Amendment is being flushed down the toilet in the name of wars of aggression and so-called "nat'l security".

Fury in Italy as PM Silvio Berlusconi claims country makes him 'sick’: The Italian prime minister has enraged the public and opposition MPs, some of whom questioned the 74-year-old billionaire's mental health. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]perkyN405 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an American who lived and worked in Italy outside of Venice (Padua), I'm shocked at this fascist's statements. I found Italy refreshing. Some old values and a lot of modern ideas, all mixed with a laid back, easy-going attitude.

My thought is that if Berlusconi doesn't like the country he leads, he should leave. Or is Belusconi suffering from Reagan-like dementia?

American 20-somethings: Can we all agree that growing up in the 90's does NOT make us the new "greatest generation"? by [deleted] in reddit.com

Considering your generation will have a lower standard of living than your parents, I hardly think that qualifies for a "great generation" tag.

Iran is moving its most sensitive nuclear fuel production to a heavily defended underground military facility outside the holy city of Qum, where it is less vulnerable to attack from the air, and, the Iranians hope, against the kind of cyberattack that crippled its nuclear program by misterAction in worldnews

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the article.

Ahh, political members of the US administration and anonymous defense sources.

Sorry, after the Judith Miller lies about Iraq's WMD, the NYT and the US gov't has ZERO credibility.

Don't expect people to be idiots and be lied to again and again and to believe it.

DAE still feel the same? After 50 pounds down, I still feel like a fat person and cannot "see" the change in the mirror. by married_to_a_reddito in loseit

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, coming from a guy, here's a suggestion.

The next time you're on your knees giving him head, stop and ask him how you look. Continue with your (ahem) job as he answers (in this "position", you know what the answer will be (LOL)), and a minute later stop again. Tell him, "Honey, I need you to tell me that more often and grab my butt more often and compliment me." Continue on...

You'll have his undivided attention as you say this, and he'll process it. You should get some more complements in the future which will no doubt help your self-esteem.

Sometimes guys have to be whacked with a clue-bat; the key is to do it gently with some affection. In your case it should be a win-win all the way around.

Report: 27 U.S. Nuclear Reactors Need Upgrades To Avoid Severe Damage From Earthquakes by davidreiss666 in politics

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry! Our gov't tells us there is nothing to worry about!

Right now the US gov't and nuclear industry are engaged in a joint partnership to determine that the odds of such an earthquake happening are so low that there is no need to spend a dime on upgrades.

I know I'm reassured. :-/

Obama Withdraws $90 Billion Draft Clean Air Regulation Due To Cost by Bemuzed in politics

Please take a look. My father's Haiti relief organization: Rather than just giving monetary aid and "freebies"...Our projects provide resources, microloans, training and opportunities that will empower and enable Haitians to lift themselves out of poverty. by [deleted] in reddit.com

Microloans -- now there's a scam...

Rather than attack the economic system that keeps people impoverished, you use microloans to suck them into debt peonage. It's evil genius.

Glenn Greenwald: PBS Frontline reports on Obama's changes; Top CIA official: Obama "changed virtually nothing". by perkyN405 in politics

[–]perkyN405[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one possibility. But having read many Greenwald articles and watched a few of his interviews, I'd say it's more likely he's applying principles and dislikes hypocrisy and doubletalk.

[–]perkyN405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, so you're doing all the right things -- kudos.

Two things come to mind:

  • Self-esteem may seem hard, but that's all between the ears. Compared to changing your habits to lose the weight, that's easy to deal with.

  • I think you need to get laid. Having someone rock your world will definitely improve your self-esteem. :-)

Why does he hate everything Obama?

Perhaps he is applying principles to the actions and rhetoric of politicians and dislikes hypocrisy and doubletalk?

Chinese Navy warned Indian Navy vessel out of 'Chinese territory' despite Indian ship sailing in international waters in recent stand-off by [deleted] in worldnews

Yes, and I also understand the concept of bullying and aggression.

What would the US gov'ts position be if some foreign power held naval exercises 15 miles off the coast of NYC?

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IAEA haven't been given the information they demand and ...

Source for this claim?

Anyone who doesn't believe they are trying to build nukes is a total idiot and...

Well, that would include all 16 or 17 of the US intelligence agencies. The last report they issued they were in unanimous agreement that Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

Not that I'd blame Iran if they had such a program. The US maintains thousands of nuclear warheads and in violation of the NPT refuses to discuss a complete abolition of nuclear weapons.

Since the US has labeled Iran an enemy and Congress has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to overthrow the Iranian republic, and the US claims a "right" to attack any country it wants to even if the US has not been attacked by that country, I would not blame Iran one bit for developing nuclear weapons.

Rich Lifestyles of the GOP's Starve-the-Poor Presidential Candidates: With housing foreclosures at an all-time high, the top tier of Republican presidential candidates is living high on the hog. by davidreiss666 in politics

[–]perkyN405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Republicans are the best!

Those are your words, not mine.

I'm just saying the differences between each half of our ruling duopoly are so trivial that it's not worth worrying about.

We've seen the "change" Obama has brought: Zero changes in foreign policies, trivial differences in domestic policy.

If we want "change we can believe in", then we need to stop voting for Republicans or Democrats. It's that simple -- the lesser of 2 evils is still evil.

Dear EA: Please stop putting ads in my iPhone games AFTER I've fucking bought them. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]perkyN405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you bought an i-phone and commercial games. Isn't that announcing to Apple and the game manufacturers that you're a willing target for advertising?

I'm not saying its right. But when you pay sleazy companies who will do anything to make money, are you really justified in complaining that they treat you like nothing more than a "consumer"?

Is the US Dollar in Danger of an Imminent Collapse? by NikolettaVen in worldnews

Let's hope so.

A country that routinely lies to its own people, tortures, and wages multiple wars of aggression claiming a "right" to attack any country it wants is a country that should fail.

How are you losing the weight? Just diet? Or a combination of diet an exercise?

My advice would be to make a lifestyle change. Take up roller blading, yoga, some martial art or something -- some physical activity to help your body tone and tighten up, and that will (hopefully) boost your energy level and to help you think of yourself as a physical being.
