And I understand, they were drafted and didn't want to be there, and they suffered horrible injuries and death themselves because it's war, and war is brutal. But it's irritating when everything about the Vietnam war is from their perspective, and to sympathize with them, instead of the Vietnamese, who suffered far worse and were the ones being invaded by a much stronger military. |
| Topic | Every time I see my parents watch a movie about Vietnam I get angry. |
| streamofthesky 11/18/18 12:46:25 PM #9 | They never even taught us about Vietnam in high school, usually stopped a bit after WW2. But the more I've read about it, the more impressed I am with the North Vietnamese. They fought off two of the most powerful militaries in the world back to back (France, then US...the global super power), then defeated the Khmer Rouge and ended Pol Pot's reign of terror. In all three cases, the other side was the aggressor. They did what few other colonial lands could manage and kicked out the invaders, then rescued Cambodia from the worst mass murderer since Stalin and hitler. They're fucking heroes. Oddly, U.S. history books and media seem mum on all of this. I wonder why...? Vietnam in general is really impressive. They eventually forgave us (funny how in the media, it's portrayed as us forgiving them) and became democratic allies and a stable country all on their own initiative. It was touching, when McCain passed away, seeing the guy who oversaw his detainment eulogizing him. Blighboy posted... https://imgur.com/7cymXsS Heh heh, pretty much |

I was going to say I don't think he should have been fired just because of his personal views so long as it's separate from work but then I saw that Andrew's dumb ass threw up that hand sign while wearing his work uniform, took a photo of it and uploaded the damn thing for all to see along with those captions. Same. I don't agree with his views at all, but don't think that should be a reason to fire him from some innocuous cable company job. Comcast is evil anyway, he's kind of a perfect fit. ...But posting photos of your hate group extracurricular activities while wearing your work uniform is pretty fucking stupid. It's on you to keep your public and private lives separate. It'd be one thing if twits on twitter hunted down his identity and made the link to his place of employment, but he advertised it for them. No company wants to be associated with these groups. |

You go through life with those blinders on all you want, but the rest of the world goes on existing even when you dont see it. "In other news, the cops also said they feared for their lives, that he failed to comply with their orders to simultaneously put his hands up and keep them at his sides, and they searched his home and dutifully reported to the public on any dirty laundry about his past they could find. The official police report of the events that transpired were oddly later disproven by video evidence recorded by a civilian bystander despite the cop writing the report being given several days to collect his thoughts before submitting the report and collaborate with other officers and attorneys about how the scenario unfolded. The police then amended the report, which we have every reason to believe is an honest retelling of events, this time, unless more video evidence should surface to the contrary. Because the police would never lie." The above is parody, stringing together some common schemes and tropes of the reports written by cops about events they're under scrutiny for. Never fucking trust those reports, the ones that hold up are the events that no 3rd party was able to capture video evidence about. |

I hate the cards where it's like a credit/debit card, but just with a bunch of money on it to spend. As it winds down you have to keep track of the remaining balance. Also, if you don't use it quickly and end up forgetting about it, the company will drain some of the money off of it in service charges each year. |

| Topic | Rate This: Dragon Ball Series |
| streamofthesky 11/10/18 2:57:06 AM #5 | 2/10 I didn't give it 1/10 out of respect for the original Dragon Ball, which was decent. But everything after is complete shit and is the stuff that the series is known for. Even worse, DBZ was SO MANY people's first experience w/ anime. Which means there's a ton of annoying nostalgia goggle-blinded fools who think it's the best thing ever, and...it's also kind of amazing how many people I've met who said "anime sucks" and when I ask what anime they've seen to draw that conclusion, 90% of the time the answer is simply "Dragon Ball Z." Which...I can understand how that one series as a first impression would sour an entire medium of entertainment to somebody, but it still sucks thinking about how many people w/ good taste have probably been turned off of anime by the one freaking show. |

| streamofthesky 11/08/18 11:09:55 AM #5 | Thus far, all the SJW censorship yearnings have come from random whackos online, and the actual politicians wisely haven't touched the issue. Meanwhile, the literal sitting president of the united states, a republican, talked about wanting to censor video games, and he and his entire party try to blame gun violence on video game violence constantly. So if one were to vote for Republican politicians because he was concerned about censorship, then that person would be an idiot. |

The 48-year-old woman then attacked the driver with her cell phone, while he fought back with his right arm. PARTIALLY? How is that partially responsible? She attacked the driver while he was operating the bus! It's entirely her fault. She's dead now, I don't think placing the blame where it's due will hurt her feelings or anything. Also after reading that other link....wow...never go near a Chinese road... |

Most of the time, the claim "we can't find any Americans for this job" is bs to meet the bare minimum flimsy standards of H1-B or other visa programs, to exploit said visas to bring in foreign workers for less money and total control over the employees (since the worker has his visa through the company, and thus the company can terminate said visa on a whim). |

Plus, just imagine how bad it will get when the next recession hits. The massive deficits being run now is under the best case scenario of the economy. Not to mention interest rates are still near historic lows, but are slowly climbing back into normalcy. In the future, it will get more and more expensive to borrow money to pay off the debt incurred from previously borrowing money. |
