Since the old topic "what are we doing in Afghanistan" is closed, I had to start a new topic since recent news indicates that we are probably not accomplishing anything. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/afghanmission/article/820752--security-standoff-stalls-canadian-dam-project-in-kandahar...

Tories defend $2M fake lake being built for summit - thestar.com It's a fitting metaphor for the way the Harper government operates, I think. This is definitely one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read. From what I understand from the article, the idiotic construct is to be used as a...

We were goofing off on sunday and someone used the expression "master on master", and suddenly we had to do something, so we made this. I am the one in the dai-shiki shirt YouTube - Master On Master

Carnivory is a funny thing in humans- how many times have you heard a person say "NO WAY I am giving up meat!!" or "I'd DIE without burgers and steak" and even the macho, grotesque "I like it to still be bleeding when I eat it" Yes, it is indeed an illness, the desire to consume still-living or...

a STUPID 2 minute long thing we came up with today while watching some Steve Irwin clips, the Crapodile Hunter PS I am under NO illusions that it is an awesome piece of cinema but it IS kinda funny- oh and it's chinese pickled radish as the "stand-in"

Right, I have googled my butt off and have thus far been unable to find a decent image of a character named Skroda Moon from the band GWAR. I have a miniature of the character that I am supposed to paint for a friend, but all's I can find for reference are really crappy face-shots which do NOT...

So I figured we'll need somewhere to discuss this, here it shall be SUPPOSEDLY the shadow platform will be exposed to light today, I am interested in hearing how many words can be used to say absolutely nothing, and you should be too- post a link as soon as the BS is issued if you please!

It has been talked about quite a bit lately and with the takeover of Anheuser-Busch by Inbev it seems all the more relevant The current system of beer distribution seems, to me at least, to run counter to what is supposedly a free-market system. The way it is run, stuff that looks a LOT like...

I'm looking for something fairly simple that works with raw .AVI files (hopefully) to make a few goofy videos and tho I've seen a lot of freeware I am totally wary of trying something unproven, and the meta-spam from searches makes it tricky to know exactly what's what- any advice from anyone...

I don't know if anyone on this site would be interested in this, but it's one of my favourite hobbies. I have a pretty decent sized collection of all sorts of stuff from all over the planet- Pitcher Plants from North and South America, Sundews from pretty much every continent, Nepenthes (like a...

LINK It's a rough demo, I'm working out the bugs between my analog board and my PC- it's a song about action figures, a complex in-joke but you don't need to be "in" on it to like or hate the song itself.. I know the vocals are a bit hard to make out, but that's what the "rough demo" disclaimer...

This might be old news but I only found out conclusively today that human placenta is a kind of common ingredient in many cosmetics.. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/reprints/puffery.html I suppose being vegetarian might make me a bit more squeamish about stuff like this but I stil think it's sort...

I read an interesting article here and it got me thinking... I am not talking sattelite radio or XM or whatever (I'm roughly 15 years behind the tech curve on most stuff), just straight-up broadcast radio... I remember in the late 70's and early 80's there were actual different stations all up...

Anyone else see anything about this?? I have a feeling it'll really pick up on monday... Apparently the Harper Cons decided to spend some money trying to figure out how to "sell" the war without actually speakin plainly about it- if anyone has a link, PLEASE post it here as the thing is kind of...

link Published on Thursday, February 15, 2007 by CommonDreams.org Is it "Meddling" to Open a Bank in Baghdad? Is it "Meddling" to Occupy Iraq? by Robert Naiman Today's media weasel word is "meddling." As in, the Bush Administration has accused Iran of "meddling" in...

http://www.thestar.com/News/article/182137 So THAT is the thanks we get for our "sacrifice"??? Sure, sure, apologists will defend it as a "slip of the tongue" and nothin of substance- but since "slips of the tongue" are jumped on a LOT by folks of every stripe, simply passing it off as such is...

Anyone else interested in the crap-storm being whipped up by this film?? From the excerpts I've managed to view so far, it is a pretty strange beast... It appears that the film (which was described as a documentary until ABC was forced tuesday to admit it is fiction, not like it matters to the...

pretty interesting article- it's short but I will only quote the opening paragraph here for smallness-of-copy/paste fans :D The Authoritarianism of Right-Wing Radio It mentions radio in the title, but it is pretty broad based and is almost a definitive checklist of control tactics commonly...

This has been bugging me for a while.. I live in SW Ontario and I don't have cable or sattelite so I just get broadcast.... The news I can get is VERY poor (of course I use the 'net, but sometimes it's nice to see footage of stuff, you know??) I read a piece about how often US news stations...
