what's wrong with the picture?

McLame will bring no change to America!

SHOCKING NEWS:

Prakash endorses McPain? We were debating about the issues today at IC. Much better than sitting around playing games... He was on the wrong side, obviously.

He tried to convince me that McCain was the real conservative. LOL!!!

He tried to justify McCain's statement of staying in Iraq for 100 years!

(He was actually winning at this point, but then...)

He argued that McCain was the real deal, not any democrat or Ron Paul. This prompted Timothy, Brian and Martin to come crashing down on him. (They support Obama)

Now, you know why I believe there are real advantages in imposing my "Rules for a fair and productive arguement", which has a statement on that neither party should use any form of ridiculing or superior psycho-persuasion technique on the other party"

Please note that I'm not against psychology, but instead disappointed at the way such techniques are being used against people who have no knowledge that they are being persuaded sub-consciously.

And this is in no way a witch-hunt thing, because there is clear evidence and effects that are scientifically existent.

Animal Rights Groups appalled by US Marine puppy-throwing incident.

The video so far....

- watch it...here 

(warning: may hurt you and your family's feelings)

- what are you emotions?

(At first, I was like lol, then a few minutes after this, I started feeling sorry.)

- Do you think it is REAL or HOAX? Marines can be mean but they are also highly creative.

- What do you think they should do with him?

- There have been many who have managed to track down the Marine's internet social website account, and are in the process of flaming it. Some have tracked down his family and they are being harassed. They have received death threats.

- Incidents like this happen regularly, just depends on how shocking it is. 

Past incidents...

- Recent Rape on Okinawa, Japan by Marine (February,2008)

-  Alleged Rape and Killing of female Marine at US Marine Base. (January,2008)

- But why is it always negative news that gets most coverage?

Good news HERE (Marine saves canine in Iraq)

This is quite cruel, but I mean, Iraqi civilians, personnel, Marines and soldiers are being killed every day in way more brutal ways. Why not all sent death threats to iraqi insurgents? These activists and bloggers have gone too far.

And just to say that apparantly, most people don't know the difference between a Marine and a soldier. I laugh everytime I see the mix-up!

More than just ignorance

Ignorance isn't the only enemy. OK, you might read down the page and say "Hey, this IS ignorance... Strictly, it's not"

By shoving polls in the public's faces, you make them support the frontrunners. 

I'll explain that in detail...

the media tells you that Obama/Clinton/McCrazy are at the top of the polls, and mentions no one else. (yes, Huckabee less now..)

You interpret that as "only these people have a decent chance of winning", or for a surprising amount of people "only these candidates are in the race", if I choose anyone else, I'll be wasting my vote. 

This turns voting into a betting game. The force of the "majority" leads the sociable individual to take that as peer pressure, to believe in the same things and people.

At this point, it leads to a breakdown of what you need for democracy.

-------

Conspiracy theories cannot be rated as true or false. It isn't the normal type of theory that scientists come up with. Conspiracy theories can only be counted as "plausible but inconclusive" or "low plausibility". 

And even if they do happen, conspiracy theories can be easily dismissed, as being a co-incidence because conspiracy theories don't have much solid evidence. 

Finally, conspiracies can act like opinions - they are like vectors generated by logical thinking linking many correlative points of evidence together (like a line of best fit). Projecting it ahead, conspiracies point to an event, or a range of events that it predicts will happen in the future. 

If these above are so, then what's the difference between a conspiracy theory and any other theory in politics or even science?

A very long response

Is Ron Paul that bad?

Candidate	Votes	%	Delegates
Mitt Romney	22,649	51.10%	18
Ron Paul	6,087	13.73%	4
John McCain	5,651	12.75%	4
Mike Huckabee	3,616	8.16%	2
Fred Thompson	3,521	7.94%	2
Rudy Giuliani	1,910	4.31%	1
Duncan Hunter	890	2.01%	0
Total	44,324	100%	31

Above are the results for the Nevada Caucus.

This is a ray of hope. As predicted, the Republican voters have become annoyed with most of the candidates, and have gone to vote Democratic....

I have convinced at least two relatives to consider Ron Paul. They seemingly agree, knowing just how awful the US Economy has become first-hand. Indeed, they have decided to invest in Hong Kong, just to put some distance between their investments and the US stock markets.

Murderous Neighbors...

Last night, just as I was about to go to bed, I heard a frightening sound - a sound that sends me diving for cover (yes, I did jump behind a wall). 

. .......  .. |   O

. .... ... .. |  -|-

      |  /\ (S***, CR*P)

An Electric BB gun was pointed at the wall I was behind from this window one floor up from a neighboring block. I didn't get to see who it was because all his lights were off, but he had this stupid laser put on his BB gun. And he was having fun spraying at me. 

The bullets came in like a hose, so I suppose he saved me $50 dollars to go and buy ammo. 

Anyway. The annoying thing was that there was no one within range to shoot at other than me. The worse thing was that he was marking the position of my desk, so I couldn't play CS anymore.

Thinking the only way to do this is to shoot him back, I tried to get my pistol, which happened to be within the area he was marking. * S*** *.

I had to make a run for it. Luckily, I didn't get hit, because he was too occupied at shooting stuff in my room. 

I loaded my match grade BB gun and taught him a lesson that shooting like there was no tomorrow doesn't work. Two aimed shots in less than 2 seconds hit him with instant "Diu! and "Ding lei go fai" sound effects. But after a pause to check on his rosy bruised cheeks, he resumed fire. 

But that was too late, because I had closed my window and laughed at his feeble BB pellets bounce off my window. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

In the morning, I actually discovered a mass of cracked plastic BBs on the pavement outside my block. They looked identical to the pellets that filled my desk. 

Let's hope the Block Management don't come up here and complain today...
