Not quite, but if I remember B&B correctly, he had a vague resemblance as far as spineless hippiery goes. Although that was just one of the teachers, the other one was a guy that yelled and/or threatened his students every five or six words he said, and he also had a dangerously bulging right eye.

Response to: McGovern calls for impeachment Posted January 8th, 2008 in Politics

I have a question! Did McGovern ever serve as a governor?
Because it would have been super cool to hear on a normal basis "Governor McGovern".

Other than that, I could care less for this.

Didn't the Ethiopians have the most badass army of East Africa? Y'know, since the URSS hoarded tons and tons of pretty decent equipment to the Derg, while the rest of the region is stuck with crappy weaponry bought from the black market?

Since I somehow missed the 6-months period to excuse myself from the service, I've gotta go bitch and whine and wave my papers at the first day of training, on the 15th. But apparently being in college is reason enough to be routinely dismissed.

Here's an idea: Instead of forced collective sex you could instead visit a vineyard full of firearms.
So instead of a gangrape you'd have a gungrape.

You kiddin'? They'd make me an officer.

So, anyway. Turns out I'm too late for doing any of the paperwork that could un-draft me, but I can still wave my papers at the barracks as soon as the oficial call is made. And apparently all I needed was my student certificate in the first place.
So it's all good, but that'll be a day wasted out of just bein' dumb. Specially when I pretty much met all of the requirements to be excused from the draft in the first place: College student, near-sightedness, and both tortured and disappeared relatives from back in the days. Hell, if I had managed to father a kid and to get my parents to divorce by now, I'd have the discharge power of an entire platoon.

So... I've been drafted for the military service. Tomorrow I've got to walk to my friendly recruitment station and find a way to weasel out of it, not as much because of being a wussy pinko, but rather because college has me by the balls and they ain't allowing me to postpone the next two semesters.

Also I was suppossed to do this, like, three months ago.

Ideas, suggestions?

Okay, last hints:
African dude. Struggled for his country's independence and gave a speech that pissed off a king named Baldwin. Nation promptly collapsed in pretty messy civil war. Guy is imprisoned, executed and his body is dissolved in sulfuric acid. Eventually nation changes name and is governed by a man who goes by the name of "The all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, goes from conquest to conquest, leaving fire in his wake".

Not to rejoice in nitpicking, but I'd say that those Central Asia nations with the funny names are still pretty big on the despotism and russophilia.
Eastern Europe is aptly learning how to keep on rockin' in the free world and all, but all in all there's about 55+ million people within the so-called Turkestan whose lives haven't really improved since the fall of the wall.

I would have to say that the people who did it were those who do not care for democracy, but for tribal rule. That is what Pakistan will remain as long as they have a say in it.

Well Pakistan is more of a military dictatorship than tribal rule. Aren't you thinking of Afghanistan instead?

At 12/25/07 01:35 AM, crazy-eye2 wrote: You thought the US government was corrupt, go to Mexico away from all the touristy attractions. You see, I am not the insane one. Besides, even if Mexico's economy does not change much from 30million a year they got "A penny saved is a penny earned" down.

That makes no sense at all. For one, the Mexican economy isn't in shambles. I wouldn't say it's thriving, but it's pretty solid, specially when compared to other countries in the region. What's difficult for first-worlders to understand is that, in Latin America, a sound macro-economy does NOT equate with social development or improvement. The economy doesn't need money. The government doesn't need money. What they need is an administration that actually knows how to spend their money, since they've pursued a long-lasting policy of funneling the cash into a mess of red tape, corruption and ineffective projects and social programmes, instead of improving the quality of life of the large rural population, or at least giving them an incentive to move into the cities, where there's at least a more decent level of functionality.

However, you're saying that they're so desperate that they're resorting to saying to their people "GO AWAY AND SEND US MONEY FROM AMERICA". That's both insane and paranoid.

And what deaths are they being sent to? OMG the freedom!!! ITS TORTURE!!!!! And if they are moving because of "income inequality" whay should that be passed on to me?

Uh, the hundreds of deaths that take place every year in the border? Remember? The ones that the booklet tries to prevent?

Also, how on earth are the Mexicans affecting your income? Can your dad no longer clean shit from toilets or hold his temporal job at a harvest?

At 12/25/07 01:11 AM, crazy-eye2 wrote: They encourage it because it moves $30 million from our economy to Mexico's every year. Mexico has nothing. Sure the have some resources but they are desperate enough to do whatever by any means to get a source of income. Tourism just doesn't cut it. Besides, you try dressing up as a poor man and ask for medical treatment at a hospital in Mexico. They will not give it to you because you have no money. It's an ongoing trend only visible to those who chose to keep their brain instead of embracing their misleading emotions.

$30 million is an insignificant number for an economy the size of Mexico's. Mexicans don't move to the States because their country is in political and economical chaos, they move because of income inequality, particularly regarding the rural and quasi-rural population of Northern Mexico, rom where most immigrants happen to come from. A minimal fraction of illegal Mexicans comes from cities.

Healthcare in Mexico has the same difficulties than elsewhere in the developing world, but in no way do they refuse to treat people because they "don't have any money", not any more than it would happen in the US, at least.

Sure that conditions in Mexico aren't the best, but in no way they're sending people to their deaths in order to destroy the American economy because they're "desperate for $30 million". If you truly believe that, you're insane.
