also o____O at the pakistani taleban quote

anyway I'm not gonna ride this point, I don't think bloodlust is exactly a new phenomenon & I don't think Americans are especially more crass now than they were when you could play a "kill the jap" game at bars in 1944

this is obv true though and not just for america. i'm willing to forgive a certain amount of this in a country that's after all just a bunch of people. (especially in the case of ww2 when the surrender meant the boys were coming home.)

what was pittsburghs' status as a US city in the 1940s

top 10ish

I think the general reaction Americans on the day of Hiroshima was more "holy shit" and "how the hell does one bomb do that?" rather than dancing in the streets.

when i was a kid i had this old hardcover book published by disney that was called OUR FRIEND THE ATOM (expanded from the disney TV episode of the same name which apparently they showed everyone in school) and had as its framing device/central metaphor a handsomely illustrated rendition of The Fisherman And The Genie, the idea being that the genie is powerful but also sickeningly dangerous, and the whole thing was on this (to me in the 1990s) utterly strange knife-edge between brisk cheerful disney-newsreel futurism and primal unnameable fear. it's one of the oddest and most affecting artifacts i've ever seen and i tend to assume it sums up the decade.

omg the atom is saidin

("the decade" being 1945-1962 i guess, or -1991, or -now, who even knows)

oh here

lol @ walt disney saying AND NOW, OUR EXPERT! and guy turning around from writing important equations on a blackboard and being like AZ VEE BEGAN AHR REZEARCH INTO ZEE ATOM

lol

Aussie 'Topeka' Practically a Dutch 'Tampa' in the Making

great description on that youtube video:

This is the very cartoon many of us in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's watched in High School Physics classes.

The premise that there is something real called a nuclear atom, with orbiting electrons and a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, was never tenable since it's inception.

The Nuclear Theory of the Atom has been debunked for a long time now. Dewey Larson has absolutely obliterated the historical construction of this fallacious and mind numbing theory in his Book: "The Case Against the Nuclear Atom" found in the link below, online and free to read. So, there is no excuse for anyone believing this idiotic model, nor quantum mechaincs, since is constructed upon this myth abd string theory because it is just deeper into the same quackademic bullshit. 10 to the 500th versions of this garbage theory about 1 dimensional strings and membranes as big as the Universe. LOL!

Walt Disney was a mason and intimately involved in the plan of the owners of the new world order to brainwash humanity with these kinds of disempowering lies which have enslaved us all to energy barons, war mongers and central bankers.

The atom will reside here.

i had another book of similar vintage about The Year 2000 and mostly i remember this illustration of a guy sitting in the back of a car reading a newspaper while an anthropomorphic robot with a fixed smile sat in the front and drove him to work.

Visiting Epcot now, you're reminded of a futuristic condo complex circa 1985.

Hahhaa that MLK quote has been all over my FB today. I wonder if I should be a killjoy and post that link.

MLKtoast

i already did...i feel like a bastard

ok Pitbull has now come out in an all white suit. It's what Osama would have wanted.

I did, mostly b/c it's fitting with my FB persona.

One of my other friends beat me to it, and now all the other posters of quote are going "yeah but the sentiment is what matters ok?".

I posted the link and the quote, and wondered whether to attribute it to L. Ron Hubbard or someone else equally as ridiculous.

I also added a note relating to Mordy's mention that there's no specific Jewish problem with celebrating death!

I understand killing people sucks, but I don't know if I'm a universal "killing is bad" pacifist now. Sometimes, you gotta bust into a compound in Pakistan and shoot a guy and it's a-ok in my book and a reason to breathe a sigh of something or another.

It's more interesting than that I think. It's obvious that MLK said a lot of things very much like that and that his sentiments chime with the (possibly) made-up quote (which even if it is made up seems to pre-date the death of OBL) but it's curious someone didn't just use a real, easily verifiable quote - I suppose the 140 limit rules most of them out though. Whatever, I'm still with fake MLK.

BBC website earlier had the strap "Live: Recorded coverage after Bin Laden's death".

His whole argument falls apart because if they couldve used a frozen body for political save-a-pres why didnt Bush do so when Obama was clearly going to sweep the floor with him last election?

Because sometimes "Whooo, danger out there" gets sold?

the "mlk" quote wasn't even that good, fucking hippies

Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice - Proverbs 24:17

Got into several arguments tonight because I can't get on board with "any man's death diminishes me" - understanding the problematic aspects, I'm happy when some people die. 'Evil' is complicated, but when your existence makes the world a shittier place, I'm not going to not celebrate your death out of any desire for a moral high ground.
