Not sure maybe Nicholas Negroponte is like massive Hootie fan w/all bootlegs and shit.

That's not even challenging, they're like a noisy blues band with some nice samples and a dece hobbit song.

I looked at the thread title and was "oh no! Rohypnol!"

Now that is really shameful. Having sex with someone who has been drugged into unconsciousness and thus can't give consent is truly, truly wrong.

What is the problem with the Bretton Woods statement? Isn't it a mainstream opinion on a board like this? How is it 'challenging'?

laxalt, Friday, 4 April 2008 19:16 (sixteen years ago) link

And on the other hand, out there, a large body of opinion is pro-IMF and pro-World Bank

laxalt, Friday, 4 April 2008 19:16 (sixteen years ago) link

i think i explained upthread -- it was a mixture of 'blah' and 'this is so shorthand as to be useless'. + omg capitalist countries in self-interest shock.

banriquit, Friday, 4 April 2008 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link

Ah yes, i see you did, sorry. Like many posts it was probably a bit rushed if it was a daytime post

But is it not about financial institutions rather than countries?

laxalt, Friday, 4 April 2008 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link

I had misread your post as saying that I had considered my post to be a challenging opinion (not that it is of any consequence of course)

Cat people are generally kind of disgusting despite their pets being cleanly animals.

Hitchens's rhetorical style is almost as faulty as the religious people he criticizes. Take a bite out of this, homos:

There are also those who think that Romney's disowning of past Mormon polygamy is too opportunistic, since the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does still offer the consolation prize of multiple wives in heaven (just like the sick dream of Mohamed Atta).

What purpose does making that comparison serve other than to associate Romney with an established Enemy of America (EoA)? It mistakes degree and extent based on casual association to a shallow, muckrakey effect.

File even if you owe, even if you can't pay, even if you claim crazy deductions. Get an extension but do not fail to declare income to the IRS. You'll pay either way. IRS keeps track of this and technically when, not if, they find you, you could get audited, penalities, probation, criminal record (fraud is considered moral turpitude).

haha, where'd you dig up my old comments from? Roxymuzak, I guess your concern is with my use of elision, which is a weird dialect tick I inherited from my oldschool Mid Atlantic family.

"Hitchens's rhetorical style is almost as faulty as the [rhetorical style of the] religious people he criticizes. Take a bite out of this, homos:

or whatever the fuck you call it, where you leave out phrases to shorten sentences in spoken englihs.

We took our eye off the ball being distracted by Starbucks and let those torture and debt guys get into power and run the country into the ground. That may be how we'll look back on the past 10 years. Soon enough we'll be nostalgic about gentrification, as opposed to storefronts closing without new replacements, and for the years when a coffeeshop with a fireplace was the target of our righteousness.

Who are these people who are more upset about Starbucks than about the Bush administration, and are they perhaps busy scaring off crows or taking practice jousts as we speak?
