    What are you even going on about? Seriously Surenas, drop the thesaurus and at least attempt to write coherently rather than like you're reciting from Chaucer's diaries!

     

    We call that metaphoric imagery here. Recitations are the privilege of others. I can already think myself. Probably one of the rare advantages after eight years here in your wake :)

    Anyway. The problem is obvious - we get a flood of intermeshed competitons that actually have no practical value of benefit anymore, at least for those who do not live in the virtual world but have a life outside. Sometimes less is more.

    But okay - I'm a purist, as gamer. And because of the games most people are here, I guess, and not predominantly for virtual activity, the modern fitness.

    Seniority award ? Well, that was a good one. Give it to me!

    To be serious, you can't draw any advantage from that, it simply means nothing at all in a virtual world that is busy with banana-like score competitions, the beloved trademark of the brotherhood of man. Too bad.

    Bandit - English lyrics

     

    Ladies and Gentlemen

    It's showtime at the Apollo Theater

    Everybody, the Hardest-Working Man in Show Business

     

    The moon bewitched me and took me to you

    Love poison that I drank happily

    And although my chest burned and scorched my skin

    For me, it tasted as sweet as honey

     

    Your eyes, bandit, stole with lies

    The blood and the life of my heart

    Your absence in my nights causes sadness

    Sighs and tears of dark passion

     

    And now every time that you leave me

    I feel the pain growing bigger and bigger

     

    Your eyes, bandit, stole with lies

    The blood and the life of my heart

    Your absence in my nights causes sadness

    Sighs and tears, and dark passion

     

    So embrace me with hurricane fury

    May the fire of your love be like a volcano

    And then kiss me, trap me in your net

    May your lips finally quench my thirst

     

    Your eyes, bandit, stole with lies

    The blood and the life of my heart

    Your absence in my nights causes sadness

    Sighs and tears, and dark passion

     

    Your eyes, bandit, stole with lies

    The blood and the life of my heart

    Your absence in my nights causes sadness

    Sighs and tears, and dark passion

    I think thats a matter of perspective,I served didn't die and it was not for nothing. I object to your characterization of the value of something you had no participation in. Your facts are subjective to your political perspective of which it's bias clearly shines through.

    ...

     

    Humbug, for otherwise I'd probably be the only one here regarding the Afghanistan War I have participated in, a war you have merely seen through the fast food filter of census on the TV screen - the lying German Wochenschau of WW-II crosses my mind. Nevertheless I don't feel myself as somehow lifted up when the Taliban come into play. So what's up with you, honey?

    My facts related to the Vietnam War I share with the intelligent US, the media, the scholars on this earth (perhaps with exception of "Why-the-West-has-won" Hanson who has lost his Greek marbles for we haven't yet won a war since the Falkland War) as well as all the individuals interested or involved and capable of reading. If you have, different from your own generation, learned absolutely nothing in Nam and nothing from Watergate that would lead to common scepticism, and your stubborn tenor supports the impression of classical ostrich policy, I'm sorry for you.

    But do us all the favor and don't support the decreed falsehood of merciless failures that lead young men to their slaughter. Is that understood and accepted?

    As a foreigner I'm proud of US journalists that have the backbone to reveal the lie within the legal possibilities and given military restrictions, something that other journalists elsewhere have not yet developed and probably never will, a filled tin cup does nicely, huh. If you hate them you don't have a political or military problem to defend, but a spiritual one.

    Also just to add, Bill O'reily, Glen Beck, and Mike Huckabee all think that the person who leaked the Iraq documents (that put no lives at risk) should be PUT TO DEATH...

     

    Does anyone else care that our media and our world has gone off a cliff?

     

     

    No cliff at all. Don't you guys know your own national history?

    The classified Pentagon Papers on the Vietnam War ( -1968) were successfully published by the New York Times in 1971, four years before the end of war, a military loss that has turned into a unbloody civil victory (for us) some 35 years later. A generation of US in the prime of their life had to die in the defoliated jungles of Vietnam... for a fraudulent nothing, a paranoid chimera, that's a frakkin' fact.

    Publishing the PPs was a glorious victory for free journalism. The lame ducks had to suffer a juridical rebuff at all fronts - their secret kept bulls*** was to be read in the daily news. That's one of the extraordinary role models of a great nation that will survive the USA as such for ages, believe me. Give it up, switch off the light of truth... and there you go, to nowhere in the dark. That's the easy path, remember? Gosh, fight for your achieved civil rights or soon you'll have none left to fight for anymore.

    To each their own, np.

    What one does postdoctorally is up to the scholar. I still leave it open cos I've financed the university education myself. I'm free, fortunately.

     

    Anyway. Research lives on free sharing results, the existential bloodstream as it is in the modding community here on the Nexus.

    Now, if one has to deny sharing due to untimely bondage but quite obviously has to suck up shared material of others - nothing comes from nothing in research, folks - then the payed servant of the company is not part of the scholarly community. Remarkably enough, both scholarly and modding community share one and the same principle of restricted freedom - permitted use for credit in the bibliographical notes ('the readme') of the future research papers.

     

    Guess we deal here with the enlisted civil auxiliary of the military, the proverbial Dr Ubermans. I'd recommend a termed officer runway in the army instead, cos one is hardly to be blamed later for ordered research results and at no stage to be fooled about the actual aim and utility of the military program one is or was involved.

    Start with the military service first, chaosblade, hmm?

    You have now for the second time raped the thread with martial off topic nonsense.

    First Israel, now Mexico.

     

    Wonder if you know what's up with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?

    All in all, it'll benefit China much more on the long term if they didn't get involved.

     

    When North Korea gets involved in a war, China is directly involved too. Different from Russia that has cancelled the military aspects of the mutual assistance pact already in 1996, China is still bound to the given pact that includes military assistance by the People's Liberation Army.

    This makes the Chinese actions very difficult to comprehend for Westeners with the

    consequence that they easily get wrong interpreted ... possibly with fatal results.

    Whats hard to comprehend, they've always acted with what serves their own interests. At this moment, their interests are set on increasing presence in the region, establishing financial and political ties with other countries, and in acquiring the resources to keep up internal development. It simply does not serve their long term interests to back NK if things were pushed to a state of war.

     

    You haven't yet understood anything of Chinese communism. Trained in Western What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get philosophy you're trapped, that's all. You take the smiling wombat for a house mouse. Remarkable,

    Your closing rate is not worth a thing, Vagrant, unfortunately.

    The Chinese have adopted nothing from us, instead they have interpreted something.

    Consequently their "democracy" is not akin to ours but a dissimilar similitude,it shows

    the mere optical relation of a wombat to a house mouse, that is - actually there's none.

    The Chinese communism is absolutely safe due to its "Borg tactics" of interpretive

    assimilation of successful political and economical theories from outside.

    What we get is not what we see *lol* The Chinese puppeteers are everything but meatheads.

    Economic interest is just one facet of a hegemonial superpower, the present one and the coming one.

    There's probably a leak in Wikileaks due to the lack of journalistic responsibility behind the launched information, China's economic focus is the Asian market even if Chinese containers in Western terminals might convey a different impression here at home.

    Moreover, there is a relative consistency in the increase of Chinese military expenditure by some 15 % per anno since the 90s and the country holds number three in the ranking of arms-import counties since a decade.

     

    And all this they do with a typical smile.

    The Western idea of a possible Korean remake of the German fall of the wall is farfetched cos the necessary components - perestroika and glasnost - are not part of the Chinese party policy, political suicide is not in the interest of the Communist Party.
