If you want to learn more about the Rape of Nanking by the most advanced country in the world today, first hand accounts of the ordeal are read by actors in this documentary.

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Nanking/70 ... 2070_0_srl

You can hear how girls watched their sisters refuse a rape to a Japanese soldier, slapping the soldier, only to watch the soldier split their sister's upper part of their body (torso and head) in half from left to right for the insult. It is not for those who have a weak constitution, as it does detail what really happened in one of the worst times on this planet in the last 100 years.


Humans could not do this, right Mos? We could never do this, right? Fantasy, eh?

You haven't answered me, Mos. I want to know what "paranoid fantasy" it is of which you speak.

To try and break up this horrific thread, here is some music that is exquisite and shows you how good people can be if you hold to it.

The reverend Al Green is all love.

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. I would give my left pinky to be one of the Miracles. Those dudes were dope.

Enjoy. People can be and are good. Work for positive goals.

That mass grave is in the good old USA. Mos, read James Waller's book, Becoming Evil. There is a dark streak in our nature and it is in all of us. All it takes are the right set of circumstances to summon our Darker Demons. :(

Which I don't think is gonna happen suddenly over the winter. And if we have hyperinflation chaos, I'd be a little more concerned with what the guy down the street is gonna do than the big bad government.

Good book, if depressing.

Things like that and Jotopay's above is why we should not lay the groundwork for making genocide easier.

Lets try a 4-part thought experiment.

Part 1:
Imagine the # of lives that have probably been saved from terrorism by building up the internal security apparatus of the US (probably a few hundred, or a few thousand).

Part 2:
Compare that to the number killed by the internal security apparatus in Nazi Germany (a lot of which was virtually built from the ground up) - many millions.

Part 3:
Imagine how many more people probably would have been killed and how much more easily, if Nazi Germany in 1933 had started from the same point & level of technology where we are now.

Part 4:
Imagine things get as bad here economically etc like they were in Germany before 1933 and that people sucumb to the darker angels of their conscience.
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right

Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take

You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown

Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', 'D')o people here not believe in the neighborhood watch? I'm just wondering where you draw the line. I don't support racial profiling, and certainly something like this can and will be abused, but if someone is setting a dufflebag down in a bus depot, looking nervously left and right, and then walking off, doesn't that set off some red flags? I mean, should we just assume nothing is going on to the point of recklessness?


Neighborhood watch is one thing... and most good, properly designed neighborhoods in the world police themselves through eyes-on-the-street (jane jacobs, the death and life of great american cities) without a need for an explicitly defined neighborhood watch.

The problem is when its nationalized... or even taken city wide.

This reeks of the beginings of Mccarthyism. Whats next? The house un-consumer activities commitee? "I support the american economy by buying unecessary plastic objects... because I care."

Ha, yes that reminds me of a noob who just moved into the hood from the exurbs chatting it up with me and a few neighbors. They were asking if there was a 'neighborhood patrol' - as in people that in their neighborhood would set a time to go walk around. You would have to live in the neighborhood to know how silly that sounds. There are neighbors walking around all the time - going all the places they need to go and taking care of other stuff like walking the dog etc. I told her that if she wanted to pick a time, about 0330 would probably be the best since it's after most people are back from the pubs and just before the early risers walking to work. You might catch a few singles doing the first shift of the hook-up "walk of shame".

can't happen here? sheeesh.

one of my neighbors is an ex-Austin cop (for ten years). He went to Iraq working for Blackwater, making beer runs from Mosul to Baghdad, mostly (according to him). he said any family that got within a hundred yards, they "lit them up". he has a flag in his yard, in English and Arabic "if you come within one hundred yards, you will be shot".

A kid who graduated high school with one of my kids went into the marines. He was over at my house the other night, I asked him about this. He said (casually) oh yeah, he doesn't know how many families he killed. He was more concerned with the asbestos exposure he had recieved from punching out the walls in boot camp. He also knew all about DU.

All these people are coming home (if they can). Not good for the bleeding hearts. I said to my neighbor, doesn't look like many people are getting ready for the times ahead. he said, my and my .308 are going to take whatever we want, just like in Iraq.
