Before the French "administered" it as part of their Sudan, it was three overlapping tribal empires that regularly starved to death. All the way to death. As usual, the westerners' great aggression was to impose the concept of nationhood. There are no Westphalian states in islam.
You never see the phrase "Near East" anymore. The old Far East is all growed up. We have the Middle East with no other Easts to frame it. Mo's Africa was the Near East. For some reason, it now has to be Saharan and sub-Saharan. This would make the new Europe "Super-Saharan." And it will be.

Take that ISIS!:
During the coming year, manning levels in the Armys major components and certain reserve programs stand to be reduced by 30,000 soldiers as a result of budget legislation awaiting President Obamas signature.
The military personnel section of the FY 2016 National Defense Authorization Act requires the Army to reach these manning levels by Sept. 30:
Regular Army: 475,000 soldiers, a cut of 15,000.
Army National Guard: 342,000 soldiers, a cut of 8,200.
Army Reserve: 198,000 soldiers, a cut of 4,000.

that the purpose of his campaign is not to win but to help out his good

Yep, Islam.
Reminds me of what blogger Bookworm was told by her prison chaplain cousin:
It is not a contradiction to be a Muslim and a murderer, even a mass murderer. That is one reason why criminals "convert" to Islam in prison. They don't convert at all; they similarly [sic] remain the angry judgmental vicious beings they always have been. They simply add "religious" diatribes to their personal invective. Islam does not inspire a crisis of conscience, just inspirations to outrage.

I have yet to find any aspect of islam that makes you a better person. There's no introspection, no self-realization, no mention of conscience, no forgiveness of others, just a focus on killing unbelievers for the reward of an afterlife filled with sex.
islam is the polar opposite of Christianity. It's less than worthless, as are its adherents.

This is why comparisons between Christian murderers and those motivated by islam always fail. If you are murdering as a Christian, you are making an error. The faith is very clear about this. Not so, islam.

Christianity instructs followers to exert self-control over bad impulses to be less sinful.
Islam instructs followers to exert control over their environment (covering and segregating women, banning alcohol and music, etc.) to prevent bad impulses, be less sinful.

After treatment, a small number of people still have some symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue. The cause of these continuing symptoms, known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, is unknown, and treating with more antibiotics doesn't help. Some experts believe that certain people who get Lyme disease are predisposed to develop an autoimmune response that contributes to their symptoms.

I have a VIC20 somewhere in the attic.
A friend gave me her old TI-99/4 a few years back. Not as exciting as the time some folks with a truck dumped a PDP-11/23 on my porch, rang the doorbell, and dashed off.
Once had somebody try to convince me to sell TI-99/4s door to door.

>>>Is there a lot of overt anti-Christian propaganda on TV these days? I see a lot of "nice" people working themselves into an anti-Christian lather, making up imaginary shortcomings to condemn Christians for.
No doubt. Just reinforces my desire to convert to the religion of peace: I have a thing for gingers, I'd love to snag one. But I'm really bad at faking it, and I ain't going to wash my feet in a sink every time I go to the bog. That's just gross.

One of my closest friends is an accomplished painter, and you may find his work interesting. His current work is rather apocalyptic for whatever reason. But he uses paint to play with foreground-background, flat-textured, and deal with the question of why do painters even bother when there's such a thing as photography? Anyway, he's thoughtful and worth a look. http://rwmullenix.blogspot.com/ (And no, this is not my work.)

I'm not seeing a lot of it, but its a desperate attempt to defend radical Islam or put people on the defensive. One possible response is to accept that everything they say is true, and compare it to just the latest deed of Muslims.
Since they don't really care about your counter arguments, facts, or truth about Christians or Christianity anyway, concede and then show that even at their worst... still not as bad as the guys they are trying to protect.

Hah. If I may be permitted to chickify the blog for a second, there was a bit in You've Got Mail that covers that. That movie felt like a bunch of op-eds Nora Ephron always meant to publish but never did, strung together with a romance plot, but the godfather bit from it was one of the better ones.
[to Kathleen Kelly (Shopgirl) in instant message] "The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? 'Leave the gun, take the cannoli.' What day of the week is it? 'Maunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.' And the answer to your question is 'Go to the mattresses.' You're at war. 'It's not personal, it's business. It's not personal it's business.' Recite that to yourself every time you feel you're losing your nerve. I know you worry about being brave, this is your chance. Fight. Fight to the death."

And as someone upthread noted, my first PC didn't have a hard drive. You put the Multimate floppy in one drive and your work disk in the other.
When I saw my first hard drive with an entire Meg of memory (1 MB!) I was amazed.
Now a couple of months ago I bought a camera that can hold 64 GB in something the size of my thumbnail.
Interesting times.

You'd think that powder charge wouldn't make that much difference in damage. (it's the same caliber as a 9mm) but apparently that little bit extra means a whole lot.

It is a tale of villains and cutthroats committing heinous acts in nice clean suits. It is a film glorifying evil.
People these days complain about criminal underground movies and gangbanger flicks, even among people I know, but love the Godfather.
What makes this film different from the crime films of today? There's woman-beating, there's murder, there's utilitarianism, theft, intimidation, and hatred all around. Sure, there's no strip joints (that I remember) or women hanging their asses out of a thong for twenty minutes per film, but I would take the hypersexed female leads instead of the glorification of evil.
Don't understand that film at all, nor the following it has.

He once guest-hosted for Johnny Carson back when, and spotted two male Japanese tourists. They spoke just enough English to make it interesting.
"Oh, so you two are lovers?" Japanese grin and nod.
"I'd really like to thank you." Japanese, grinning and bowing: "Sank you, sank you."
Rickles: "Yeah, I'd really like to thank you for making me spend four years in the jungle in WWII."
And following up with," So you are over here, what? Touring our naval bases?"
It was hilarious.

Anyone who had to do business, or in a lot of cases, just survive, in the same city as one of those "family" organizations has nothing but disgust and horror for their ways, their style, their existence. And as a people the Americans of the Twenties through the Sixties were willing to give up a lot of freedoms to have them seen off. Union corruption, corporate corruption, and political corruption as we know it would not be possible without what they did, and in a few cases still do.
Fascinating story of truly repellent characters. Anybody who thinks there is something cool about them is seriously fucked up. Morally corrupt. And a poser.
So, yeah, great movie. Great sequel. And I hate it.
Couple things I naively thought we were done with by the mid-60's. Gangster movies. Horror movies, especially vampires. And fake wrestling.

Yeah, but there's a certain subtlety about it...(spoiler alerts)
Woman-beating - Carlo beats up Connie, but it's a setup to draw out Sonny. Carlo gets garroted. Mrs Meanie says "Yeah!" every time.
Murder - All the other 5 families were lining up against Michael's regime; Michael outwits 'em all, even Barzini, who set up Sonny, and the pimp Tattaglia
Theft - Vito buys political influence; that's how things are done. It's a shortcut thru an already corrupt legal system (alludes to what they did to Lucky Luciano)
Intimidation - Again, subtle. If you're not trying to intimidate people, you're not working hard enough
Hatred - Actually, no. Michael does what he does out of love of his family.
I agree that it could have used more nudity.

Basically he was at a club where Sinatra was, with an implausibly beautiful girl (he's always been a schlub, but a funny, very confident one, so, score) and the girl was just squirming in her chair with how much she loved Sinatra. So Rickles sends the waiter over with a note to Sinatra so he can meet the girl. Sinatra, always willing to talk to a pretty girl and a decent guy about the public came over.
Rickles says "do you mind, I'm trying to talk here!" to the interruption, and Sinatra just died. From then on, tight friends and Sinatra did wonders for his career. Rickles was the only guy that could insult and rip on Sinatra safely.

There's a story about Casablanca that may or may not be true, but its too good to ignore. So during the filming, Bogie finishes his scenes and goes to relax, still in costume. The director realizes he needs one more shot, so he sends someone to go get Bogie, who is tired and wants to just take it easy a moment. The director says he just wants one more shot, he doesn't even have to talk.
All Bogie has to do is nod.
That scene? When the band leader looks to Bogie when requested to play La Marseillaise and he nods. Its the turning point in the film, his shift of character from being totally neutral and selfish to caring and being on one side. Its also one of the greatest scenes in movie history with particular significance lately. The most downloaded and viewed clip on Youtube last week.

Soros-Backed Group Launches Bid to Keep Syrian Refugees Flowing
A group masquerading as conservative but backed by left-wing foundations including billionaire George Soros's Foundation to Promote Open Society (FPOS) has launched an online advertising campaign in defense of bringing Syrian refugees to the United States.
The banner ads bear tag lines like, "Support freedom, not fear," and, "America is better when we welcome refugees." They lead to a microsite located at Americaisbetter.org with Old Glory-clothed, American flag-waving young people, with a light-skinned blonde leading the way for others who appear to be ethnic minorities partially or fully obscured behind her.

I think the best thing of the film was the editing. There isn't one second of filler, one look or word that didn't advance the storyline.

I think the best thing of the film was the editing. There isn't one second of filler, one look or word that didn't advance the storyline
This. This is one of the reasons that The Godfather gets better with each viewing.
It's maybe the tightest screenplay ever. Things that look random on the first viewing turn out to be foreshadowing. There is no wasted space.

With your post, you spent more time justifying (i.e., making excuses) why you haven't seen classic movies than it would have taken you to watch them sometime over the past 30-40 years. You're not even curious about those movies and why they are so beloved and critically acclaimed? At the very least, even if you watched them but didn't like them, you'd be able to justify your opinion.

Not long after 9/11, I was playing in a bar downtown and this guy who fit a certain profile comes in with a backpack and sits at the bar. I look over a few minutes later and the backpack is there but the guy isn't. He came back eventually, I guess from the restroom.

LOL. Despite my earlier comments, I actually do understand your basic attitude. After all, I have relatives and friends who constantly badger me to watch certain TV shows but I don't. That's mostly due to my schedule, as I have to be very selective with the 3-5 shows that I watch regularly, but I sometimes will not watch a show because I'm sick of being badgered by others to watch it. But those are TV shows, not classic 40-year-old movies.

Well think back to when you were that age, not so long ago. Did you understand old people's references to The Dick Van Dyke Show or the Korean War? Sometimes its tough to keep in mind the short time period young people have been around. I mean even someone 20 years old has only been really paying attention to the world for maybe 8-10 years. That's the Bush administration.

Is there anyone here who thought Obama was an Atheist and now thinks he really is a Muslim after all?
I've moved into that camp. I also think he's a Marxist but that his ties to Islam are closer than I thought. originally.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 20, 2015 12:28 PM (No/ki)
I think he's an atheist and supports anyone or group that is anti-American or he thinks has been oppressed by the Man. So that's his support of Islam over Christianity. And add to that his rabid hatred of white people. He's getting back at us and evening the score

Wright's "church" is very typical of small churches all around the south side of Chicago. I think Chicago it where Black Muslims originated. (correct me) But being a Black Muslim is somewhat different than being Muslim. Or so I thought.
I knew he was bad news when we could find out nothing of his past and what we did know didn't look healthy.
I started believing he was an actual Muslim after he went on his World Bow Tour. His bowing to the Saudi Prince kind of sealed the deal.
Since then, of course he's become more blatant about where his true allegiance lies.

So let me get this straight, the House passes a bipartisan bill having to do with an issue of immediate and great national security importance and the Senate promptly adjourns and closes for the holiday so they don't have to vote on it.
Worst of all the Senate minority leader has said that the bill will not be allowed to reach the senate floor.
In what world can the minority leader prevent the majority leader from bringing a bill to the floor for an up or down vote?

I suspect the deal with him was to read whatever shit they put on the teleprompter, and in between bouts of doing that he could enjoy himself. Committed Marxists eat, live, sleep, and breathe Marxism, and work tirelessly to screw up the world. Obama, OTOH, left to his own devices, is obviously a layabout.

For only 99 cents and two box tops from Ka Boom Cereal we will send you all the parts you need to assemble your very own Jihadi.
Act now before they decompose too much.
Sorry, no choice on whether female or male jihadi is sent.

Sure, but if there weren't re-runs there was no way to possibly see older shows. One of the running jokes in the Dick Van Dyke show was the closet he jammed everything into and as soon as he opened the door, he'd be covered with falling stuff. My mom remembered it well but I had no connection to that at all. Really funny once you see it, but unless you do, its just some reference.
But yeah, EVERYONE watched MASH when I was growing up, so it was shared. I remember well when Bob & Doug McKenzie was huge from SCTV, and every single person in High School at the same time loved them.
These days... there's really nothing like that any more.

Think of all the atheists/agnostics here who have a sort of default Christian culture sensibility because they grew up in a Christian environment - celebrating Christmas and Easter, reading the 10 commandments, etc.

I'm actually knowlegeable about pop culture going back to before I was born but your point is a fair one. However, you would think that younger people would at least have seen the top movies of all time considering how often they're on cable TV and available through various streaming services.
Maybe parents aren't exposing them to classic movies, like my parents and grandparents did with me. For example, my father and I together rented flicks like "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Dirty Dozen" in the '80s when I was a teen. When I took a film class as a free elective in undergrad, we watched a ton of classic movies and I had already seen 90% of them, thanks to my father and grandfather.

_______
I was born 30 years after the end of WW2 but I know what happened. I also know generally speaking what went down in the 50s and 60s and 70s, before I was old enough to really understand the world around me.
Today's 25 year old thinks history started in 1990 and probably doesn't know Reagan was president in the 1980s.
That's the difference.
