The GOP right now: what a thoroughly satisfying train wreck. I'm glad Obama's ahead. Thank you, gentle Children of the Corn.

You want run on? Check out one of these German shiza flicks.

If I am indeed a king, then my kingdom's really, really small. I do feel rich, but that's an attitude thing. Still, there are those who don't appreciate their own lives enough to keep them from envying others. Ah well, that's an attitude thing, too.

Mojitos: Si! Martinis...pues...si, tambien! Pero yo prefiero el sabor dulce de las mujeres Cubanas, abajo del sol tropical, lejos de estos Yanqui vespas maricones y perros de raspar.

Yes.

Yo pienso que hay demaciado protesta, Reyna Dramatica.

Cuba has the most pristine coral reefs in the world and it's music and culture need no introduction; it's on the top of my places to visit list. I'm not sure which way the barracuda and trigger fish lean politically, however.

The military is a form of collectivism with centralized authority, so I can understand why neither FW nor KKK, for all their flag waving, served their country in the armed forces. It would have been too ideologically painful.

The fastest growing economy in the world is communist. This would not have been possible without centralized authority and the unprecedented construction of infrastructure it was able to execute without opposition. The perfect economic system is born.

Intellectual climate change takes its toll.

Only a few specimens remain.

No, it does help my point. The talented self taught developers of whom you speak still took the trouble to dive deeper and learn the fundamentals of their art. Professional training can be had on one's own; it need not come from an accredited source. If that were true, Bill Gates would have been fucked. Any software engineer worth a damn should be able to quickly pick up what an 'instance' is. There is apparently one on this forum who a) has been too lazy to teach himself this basic concept of his profession or b) just doesn't have the mental faculties to grasp it. This inability to differentiate between historical events and the imperfect executions of the philosophies involved (which of course, are usually a minor part of the story anyway) is a theme that pervades his posts.

It's only a matter of time before people living in kibutzes and other coop communities start killing one another.

Communism IS inherently violent. Look at the body count and the track record, you worthless piece of shit. Wow, you really DON'T understand the concept of an 'instance'. I'd guess you must be dot.com minted icon monkey instead of a professionally trained software engineer. Hey, that's fine. There's nothing wrong with learning how to hunt and peck a pulldown for your living while being ignorant of even the most basic architectural fundamentals of your profession. More power to ya for faking it and snaggin the salary!

That makes two idiots who can't discern the difference between an inherently violent political philosophy and one that is not. By way of example, Democracy caused the escalation of the Vietnam war in the early 60s (after all, if we hadn't ordered the bombing and troops, there would have been no large scale conflict), which eventually killed 1.5 million Vietnamese and caused enough regional instability to kill hundreds of thousands of Laotians and Cambodians, therefore Democracy, and not a historical instance (manifestation) of Democracy, is inherently violent. Is that how the logic goes? Or do we have a software engineer who doesn't understand what an 'instance' is? Help me out here, I'm just trying to think below the empty box. Because when I talk to a communist, I can't assume that I'm conversing with someone who advocates violence and genocide, only collectivism. With a Nazi, it's a different story.

Yes, that's why our navy deploys no tactical nuclear torpedoes (which detonate on proximity, not contact, typically). They're just not effective. Having studied the effects of nuclear weapons on warships and been through NBC drills on them, it was made very clear to me in training that tactical nuclear torpedoes, which detonate underwater, are quite lethal. Even the crude Baker Test destroyed 8 (not 14) out of nearly 100 (not 120) ships with one blast: a mere 11 hapharzardly placed nuclear torpedoes could have sunk the entire flotilla. No, not effective at all. Now that the idiot has identified itself, perhaps it can explain to the ignorant proletariat the difference between communism, which does not, as a system, condone or require genocide (one can be a peaceful, egalitarian communist) and Nazism, which does (one cannot be a peaceful, egalitarian Nazi). Or can it not distinguish between historical instances and political philosophies? If not, then it must also condemn capitalism and democracy, which has also been responsible for the death of millions. Speak, idiot! We await enlightenment! PS The idiot fails to recognize that initial blast effects are not the only mode of lethality for nuclear weapons. Nearly all of the ships exposed during the Baker Test were highly contaminated afterwards, which certainly would have severely curtailed operations had it been a real flotilla.

with apologies to all incontinent Nazis, of course.

I've been finding that the approaches have been eating into my climbing time lately.

Proclaiming one's offense on a Spray forum is like proclaiming one's disgust after renting a German shiza flick.

Boys, we've struck a gusher!

Well, that depends on just how much boring a woman requires, doesn't it?
