A coordinated Mumbai attack would probably be the worst case scenario in terms of developing from the suicide bomber on public transport model, especially if they used some lessons from people like Anders Breivik.

Half a dozen people fly into New York, they have some AR-15s, handguns and some replica police, paramedic and other uniforms waiting for them in a storage lock up, maybe a car bomb or two pre-prepped and they chain together attacks in public areas across the city maximising confusion and panic.

So the problem isn't actually racism. Got it.

Regardless, that's wrong too. I watched Euro 2012 dude, Europe has plenty of problems with racism. They're much more homogeneous than US though, so they don't have to deal with it.

ikes your second paragraph is what I was gonna write in response to your first paragraph.

Why are you guys always so defensive about this, like someone is accusing you individually of a moral failing? "But Timmy hates black people too!"??? OK?

That blog article is political science. It's explaining, not judging.

So CNN had to cut away from report discussing the post-Sandy Hook meeting between the NRA and Joe Biden, because of another school shooting...

Totally nonjudgmental.

I'm sorry it hurt your feelings, but in my defense, I did know this was coming:

Step 1: Explain American politics (scientifically and nonjudgmentally) by postulating that there are two Americas: one full of minorities and progressives and the other full of racist Texans and rednecks corrupted by monied interests.
Step 2: Attribute all criticism to hurt feelings.
Step 3: Get ready to do it all again tomorrow!

I gotz an idea...2 of em even...



1. Instead of just 1 trillion$ coin, make 16 of em.
YO BIJCHES WE PAID TEH HOLE DEBT, U JELLY?

>So yeah, u gotta guard all 16 of these in between making them and melting them down afterwards.
Which leads us to:

2. The law doesn't necessarily require that these coins be made of platinum.
How about... wait 4 it..............
MAKE EM OUT OF CHUCK E. CHEESE GAMING TOKENS?


FLOOR IZ NOW OPEM 4 FILIBUSTERMENTZ.

I thought the law specifically said they had to be platinum.

Well I know you're not being totally serious here (I mean I hope you aren't), but the problem with that, as opposed to the "standard" $1T coin idea, is that with the regular idea the money never circulates, and hence doesn't lead to inflation; it's just an accounting gimmick. If you start using it to actually pay for stuff then you're effectively distorting the money supply.

So, sandy hook with no guards had 25+ dead, and the Bakersfield school with a guard had 0 dead and 3 wounded?

I like this.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/s...-politics.html

There was no guard at the Bakersfield school today. He was unable to get to work.

The shooter used a shotgun, not a military-caliber assault rifle. The teacher talked the student into giving up his gun.

So your implied argument here holds no water at all.

Oh, I completely misread this part

Come to think of it, wtf does that even mean?

Eta

Oh wow, I just re-misinterpreted it. Goddamn, I gotta start getting more sleep

Was it an assault shotgun?

Starting forest fires in the West in a hot dry fall would be a very easy way to do maximum damage. Something like the DC sniper could also create maximum panic and chaos with very little effort. I'm surprised terrorists haven't tried either of these things.

Zero Hedge, which is one of the MOST RESPECTED AND GENIUS BLOGS EVAR because they like to talk about the coming hyperinflationary death spiral of the America economy, literally does not understand how coins work:

Note Tyler Durden, Ph. D in REAL ECONOMIKZ also doesn't understand how laws work or really even how history works:

Every time, Tyler? You mean this time and also last summer and also NEVER BEFORE THAT?

Really stretching for something to criticize there fly. You'd be better off making fun of his name. Every time of course

This is an interesting article, but to me this seems to be an overly simplistic view. For example, how can the passage you quoted, or even the entire piece, be reconciled with California's Prop 8?

Belgium, Spain, Norway, Portugal, The Netherlands, Iceland, Argentina -- all of those countries have legalized same sex marriage. California is not part of the Old Confederacy or the Mormon Triangle, and most consider them to be a fairly liberal state. Yet the people of California voted for a constitutional amendment that bans same sex marriage.

Are we to believe that resentment of racial minorities is the underlying reason for opposition to same sex marriage?

Mormon spending from neighboring state maybe?

Unless the Mormons bought a lot of Mexicans Ima have to go with no.

This is amazing.

Turns out it's also a thousand times less amazing than this!:



This is so amazing I have a hard time believing it's real.

Steelhouse already ****ed that chicken lol slow ponies.
