The Most Evil American? (And Most Evil Brit Too, Why Not?)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-macaray/the-most-evil-american-in-history-wasnt-even-a-politician_b_6385188.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 The article's choice? J. Edgar Hoover...and that's not a bad pick...nor are Andrew Jackson for the Democrats, or Richard Nixon for the Republicans. So--Most Evil American...and why not, Most Evil Brit? (PLEASE NOT DUBYA BUSH *OR* OBAMA...let's avoid that partisan cliche and allow history more time to judge both, eh?)

Is Coffee for Closers?
For those of you unfamiliar, the statement comes from a scene in Glengary Glen Ross: http://tinyurl.com/bkyyzlb . Basically it's about how if you want to do something, do it, and about not feeling entitled. I also recently read an article on Cracked which I will link here: http://bit.ly/1epy3r8 . So, how do you guys feel about the message of the speech and the article? Agree? Disagree? Kittens over Mittens? Please discuss.

GM
If you're interested in playing a game beginning sometime after January 11, post here. [url=http://www.testking.co.uk/ITIL-training.html]ITIL dumps - testking.co.uk[/url]
I'll take on the GM role alone initially but I would love to have a co-GM if anyone is interested in that.

renewed faith in mankind
Today I got an email granting me an extension on paying for my first term in college I'm not going to go into details but literally 2 hours ago I was convince I wouldn't returning to school. Now I know for sure I am. This gives me absolute faith in humanity and reaffirms my choice in schools.

So Sony is pulling this movie, in the face of massive damage, terrorist threats, and theater chains pulling out. I imagine the movie sucks, but I think this is a terrible outcome. Speech has been suppressed by sheer intimidation. Thoughts?

Race and Ethnicity
Recently, I have been filling out lots of forms. During this process, I have discovered a rather disturbing fact. Apparently, I do not have an ethnicity, nor even a race sometimes. In these forms many ethnicities are listed, from Aleut to Vietnamese. But while many small islands or island groups are present, I can't find Eastern European, or even Caucasian! Why is it that these are not considered of equal value to list as Samoan, or Guamanian?

No, I don't. But saying that you have a minority ethnicity (Chinese? Really?) or NO ethnicity is NOT a good thing.

Race and ethnicity are artificial; they are socially constructed concepts with little meaningful basis in objective reality. Generally speaking, record keeping for racial or ethnic status today relates to leftover habits from a more racist era (like the census) or more commonly to measure racial and ethnic disparities, in order to understand the impact of or to make up for racial discrimination. Since anti-white racism has virtually no significant social impact in the western world, and since white remains the default/assumed/"main" racial status in the United States, it's usually not particularly important to measure white participation.

I know that you probably don't care since you're trying to make a half-baked political point, but maybe somebody reading does.

Is white an option? Are you not white?
KingCyrus (511 D)

White is an option for some, but not all.

Some list 50 options, none of which apply and all I have to pick is "none."

I'd be fine with none.

Seems like a good thing to me since it just shows it's a question they don't care about which is how it should be.

The world would be better if everyone stopped giving a fuck about their ethnicities..

So i have found that in an intercity high school, being white is a bad or unpopular thing. The concepts that people have cause such things.
Also it's human nature to want to label everything and organize it,ind something in common, and/or find something to separate us.
Also if we stop caring about ethnicity, we lose culture. No one would care about their heritage, religion, and family. It would effectively destroy nationalism as well. (sorry for grammar i am tired).

No one in Japan has guns. Japan has very few homicides. Japan has almost zero instances of police brutality. I have only heard one police siren since arriving in a city of 30 million people. Coincidence, right?

Hi again!

Domino's Pizza here in Japan is incredibly expensive. A single large pizza from Domino's is nearly 4,000 yen, which is about $35 in the US. Japan has very few obese people. Japan has almost zero instances of bloating before bedtime. I have only seen one person the size of a sumo wrestler (my dad) since arriving in a city of 30 million people. Coincidence, right?
