Prime Minister Chretien keeps it real
Jean didn't need body gaurds
If I recall his wife also fought off an armed burglar that got into the Prime Minister's residence.
The Burden of Command: The President on Veterans Day
Put the president in a C-130, give him flak jacket, a pot, and a M-1 Carbine. Strap his ass to the ready line, and then boot his ass out of the bay. Let him float down into a hot landing zone.
Then, maybe, they will think twice about starting wars.
I'll give Obama credit though, he did turn down all proposed plans of attack for A-stan.
The fighting in that quagmire is very similar to Vietnam men at forward fire bases not being able to leave their bunkers. Then going out on patrols and walking through a village full of VC, er, Taliban, er wait.. Civilians?
The soviets couldn't do it, and neither can we.
Your view only holds though if war is always the absolute worst option available. That means that the world would be better if the allies had chosen not to go to war in Europe and it was still presumably under Nazi rule today...
War is terrible, sometimes our world is so screwed up though that not going to war is even worse. Your free to ignore that reality, but try to hold off on cheap shots against the people that have to recognize and deal with that reality.
Feel like crying? Marines coming home to kids
Emotional - yes, but pure propaganda. I'm becoming more and more cynical every day.
If it's just propaganda I question how effective it is. It really seems to me that both pro and anti war sides emotional responses to this would reinforce their existing views anyways. Unless it's just pro-soldier propaganda, in which case I suppose it may be, but I'm actually ok with showing them as human beings and not just pawns in a pro/anti war debate.
So that's how they pluck a chicken..
I'm so glad it was already dead, though somehow I get the feeling that wouldn't bother many chicken farmers that much...
I guiltily thought it would have also been funnier.
How To Be A Real Man
From the overall style though I'd say it's gotta be a parody, mostly because even amongst the most extreme fundamentalists punching out your friends to 'let your light shine' borders on blasphemous. But then there are those Westboro Baptists out there so nothing's impossible.
There need to be a lot more Christians openly standing up and openly condemning groups like them. The fact that protests over abortion and gay marriage out rank the protests against false fronts like Westboro is a sad commentary on self-identified 'Christians'. From were I sit it seems that Christ like people wanting to follow christ are the minority in the 'christian' community.
sadness.
Homophobic Christian Whines About Getting Fired
>> :
^dgandhi
I'd be willing to wager that the lady who complained about his workplace expression of homophobia to HR and got him fired, who is having her right to marry denied because homophobes are willing to vote away other peoples right, is probably more offended than you are.
If you'd like the statement better without the hyperbole: "I will say that as a Christian I am particularly offended by this guys ravings."
I just figured the figurative language better expressed my feeling on the matter. Clearly I wasn't trying to claim right to the absolute most offense over something that happened to strangers thousands of miles away.
There are laws against it because it happens, not because it doesn't.
So do you think it wrong in both examples then? I tend to be of the opinion that mouthing off to your boss over a personal difference of opinion is reasonable grounds for firing be it religion, sexual orientation, or the weather. It's not about being fired because of your religion, orientation, or weather preferences but over being completely disrespectful to your boss or co-workers.
Homophobic Christian Whines About Getting Fired
I'm sure this guy would feel the same way if somebody got fired for telling their boss, who talked about church/god a whole FOUR times that day, that Jesus was a myth and they were wasting their life praying to their imaginary friend...You know just expressing their personal opinion, that, as an intelligent person, religion is wrong.
I'm sure that it would never happen. I think there's a bit of a point when your example would absolutely be deemed a discriminatory reason for firing someone.
Don't get me wrong though, this guy is a dumb dumb. Is he just as offended by coffee talk about somone's divorce? Affairs? How about weekend benders? I presume nobody at his place of work uses the Lord's name in vain while he's at work?
My problem with guys like this is the misunderstanding of their own faith and the bizarre notion that homosexuality is somehow special in the laundry list of sinful things that virtually everyone around him will do. Your under orders to Love your neighbor as yourself my friend, and there is no 'unless they sin' escape clause. In fact, Christ himself said he came not for the saved, but for the lost.
I will say that as a Christian I am more offended by this guys ravings than anyone.
"Dude Perfect" World's longest basketball shot
I'm willing to say it seems real. The angle from the basketball hoop is more convincing, imo.
I'd say it's real. As long as your willing to take the time to tape several attempts this is easily possible. Heck, kids in grade 7&8 don't need very many tries to hit a half court shot or two(as in if they try for 30 minutes they'll probably sink more than one).

Scientology Rep. Can't Handle the Heat On Xenu, Storms Out
Christianity could learn a lot from Scientology. They don't even have levels! I'd imagine it simplifies the holier than thou arguments if you can point to a certificate.
Go the other way and convert RPG's into religions. Then everybody tired of leveling up their virtual avatars can do it in real life instead.
Fall of the Republic - The Presidency of Barack Obama
Not to pacify it, but to feed and profit from it in some manner.
This isn't ENTERTAINMENT; if you want that, go to the local theater.
Nor is it Education, if you want that, go to the local Library or University.
FYI, the Congress is supposed to regulate our money supply, not a PRIVATE (bank owned) organisation called the "Federal" Reserve.
No, Congress actually agreed in 1913 that the Federal Reserve IS supposed to regulate your money(if your an American, anyways). You may not like that, but maybe you should educate yourself a little bit on basic economics and financial policy before leaping to the conclusion that some nutty far out conspiracy video has all the answers that've been missed by the last several generations of economists.
Scientology Rep. Can't Handle the Heat On Xenu, Storms Out
So, what's the deal? If you are asked about something and it is wrong, wouldn't you just say "no actually, we don't believe in that."
The problem is the scam requires that fully brainwashed recruits believe the xenu story, so it can't be publicly denied. Neither can it be publicly admitted though, or else nobody would sign up in the first place. As a result, the cult's best response is to act indignant and refuse to answer.
And yes, Xenu is part of Scientology's doctrine as one of the tools they use to attack anyone talking about Xenu is that the copyright to the papers belong to the 'church' and distributing it without their approval is a violation of copyright. Many websites have been required to remove references to the documents as a result. It's notably the only time that Slashdot.org has ever successfully been forced to take down anything because of a legal suit.
Scientology Rep. Can't Handle the Heat On Xenu, Storms Out
I don't know why people have such a problem with Scientologists, their beliefs are no more ridiculous than those of Mormons, Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc., ad nauseum.
Finding Scientology to be more absurd than your personal religion just makes you a hypocrite and an idiot.
It's not the absurdity, but the deliberate malice of scientology. The basic tenate of most every other major religion in some way amounts to treating your fellow man by the golden rule. Scientology has nearly the exact opposite tact and actively encourages that any opposition be attacked and destroyed by absolutely any and all means necessary to do so. Other major religions also actively work to distribute their scriptures and teachings for free. Scientology again takes the exact opposite approach and actively uses every law available to stop the distribution of their religious materials and beliefs. Those aren't just banal differences, they are fundamental.
Fall of the Republic - The Presidency of Barack Obama
I tend to believe in the inherent evil of man, so ideas like this fit right in to my view of reality. It seems like this would be a natural progression of 'society'.
What gets me itchy is, if this is happening - what the heck are we going to do about it?
I think I believe even more strongly in the inherent evil of man, and it's why the ideas in this video DON'T fit right into my view of reality. An overarching NWO and coordinated effort by some secret cabal of the most powerful people in all the world just doesn't make sense. The biggest reason being the inherent evil leads the members to destroy each other. Watch the rise of every historical tyrant in history. The two final steps to securing their power is killing all rival parties/powers, and then killing off all challengers within their own party ranks.
America's '2 party' system, while failing completely as an actual two party option, does at the least succeed in keeping the corruption of the greedy and the powerful pitted against one another and makes the better interest of the general public into a valuable asset/tool to the corrupt and powerful. A bad system without a doubt, but better than the alternatives that have been tried from time to time.

You don't have to necessarily buy into any of this to view it, or even enjoy it. For some these videos and theories are simply entertaining. There may be some truth, but that's for you to discern - and it might be worthwhile. I don't deny that those truths are often buried by the heavy sensationalism, although one who agrees with such methods might say that's a good way to get people to "wake up." Give it a watch, see for yourself.
The same could be said of FOX 'News', and frighteningly enough it's on average less biased than this. If you want the contrarian view there are infinitely better sources, this is just garbage that attempts to sway people based on their ignorance of the mountain of facts that are left out because they are inconvenient to the films world view.
Fall of the Republic - The Presidency of Barack Obama
The film exposes the agenda that Obama was put in place to accomplish, a world government allied with a bank of the world run by globalist eugenicists hell-bent on destroying America’s first world status and replacing it with a hollow shell of tyranny.
If that's your rallying call the movie is for you. Groupthink powers, activate!
It's Not the White House's War on Fox...
