Is Shane Smith the next Rupert Murdoch?
He looks like a cool dude and adventurous like Richard Branson.

What Pakistan Knew About Bin Laden:
"As I toured the bomb sites and battlegrounds of the Taliban resurgence, Afghans kept telling me the same thing: The organizers of the insurgency were in Pakistan, specifically in the western district of Quetta. Police investigators were finding that many of the bombers, too, were coming from Pakistan." "the strategy that has evolved in Pakistan has been to make a show of cooperation with the American fight against terrorism while covertly abetting and even coordinating Taliban, Kashmiri and foreign Qaeda-linked militants." See: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/23/ma...er=rss&emc=rss The Pakistanis, such wonderful frenemies ... |

In Saudi Arabia, the American interests are crystal clear. Correction - they are black. The Saudi Royal Family is interested in the protection the Americans give in return. With sufficient Husseins and Assads around AND the real chance to have SA end up like Iran (where the Shah got toppled by Khomeini and his islamists), having American military power backing you is most welcome. Remember where the Americans were staging their troops for Desert Shield/Storm? With Pakistan, it indeed was mostly Cold War initially. India was aligned along the Soviet Union, and Pakistan were their mortal enemies. Good place to buy yourself into - those in power in Islamabad got richer, and the Americans had a base of operations for supplying Afghanistan (against the Russians here, oh the irony). Now Pakistan is still taking the bribes while sheltering the Taliban. Yay. |

I went to Huffington Post, which reports a lot on that hateful cult, and I wanted to see what they'd write in an article and I wanted to see what the comment section would be like. I expected people to show their ugly sides in the comment section. To my surprise, I saw people commenting with a loving tone. I read about 30-40 comments and no one was hateful. People were saying if they were hateful, they'd be no different then him and his followers. Anyways, straight, gay, and bi people were not condemning him and discouraging others from hating him, and my heart was very soft at the way people were loving an enemy rather than hating him, and I read a comment saying something like "May you have in the afterlife the peace you could not find in this world. Love, A Lesbian" and I saw other gay and bi people write the same kind of thing or similar things and then I actually got a bit teary eyed to see these people; gay, bi, and straight, have love for such a terrible person. I expected a comment section filled with hate and vile regards and sentiments, and instead I found people, with an element of pity, express love for such a bad person and their love struck me as beautiful.

Then something happened to make him go so very much into the wrong, because not only did he become the biggest anti-gay bigot in the world, the westboro church also had plenty of bad things to say about Jews and blacks (and I'm assuming all other non-whites).

Now that's a harsh twist. Normally if a family member is gay, homophobes think about their ways. Maybe not renounce them entirely but at least they wouldn't become even more hard core with their hate.

The Fujoshis I have the privilege of knowing, were all strictly worshipping 2D men. There might be other types, but frankly Fujoshis are not uninterested in being with men. They just have standards and expectations too. Just as "otaku" aren't going to settle with random women, no matter how lonely they are.

so instead of analyses how inept and clumsy Malaysia's response to this tragedy or the anguish of the family of the passengers. NYT decided to talk about the limit of Chinese power in dealing with the Malaysian government and taking shots at the Chinese public?
