— Maetenloch AoSHQ: The Very Early Years
Technology may change but the popularity of drink, dirty jokes, and political snark hasn't:
Crude jokes, beer and a hearty disregard for politicians were part of life in ancient Mesopotamia - 3,500 years ago.A newly translated tablet from the area of present-day Iraq runs through a series of riddles which show that even in 1,500BC, people liked a puzzle.
True some of the jokes and riddles don't quite make complete sense - but then that's also true of most of the ONT comments say between 2am and 6am.
The two rudest riddles have missing answers - or ones that don't make sense.Yo mamma jokes - still going strong 3,000 years later.'The deflowered girl did not become pregnant. The undeflowered girl became pregnant. What is it?'
Answer: Auxiliary forces. The term for a group of soldiers is puzzling here, says Wasserman.'... of your mother, is by the one who has intercourse with her. Who is it?'
Answer: Perhaps thankfully, this answer has been lost.
And then of course we have the ever popular depictions of Mesoptamian cheerleaders:
Good times, good times. Do People Become More Conservative as They Age?
Short answer: No.
Using surveys taken between 1972 and 2004, the researchers found that groups of people actually became more tolerant, not more conservative, after age 60 -- calling into question some enduring myths about old age. Survey questions addressed attitudes about boundaries of privacy (such as the right to die), historically subordinate groups (such as women and Blacks) and civil liberties (for groups like atheists).
Overall, what's happening in society at large as people come of age seems to matter most in determining the starting point for their core beliefs, said Karl Pillemer, a sociologist and gerontologist at Cornell University, who conducted more than 1,000 in-depth interviews with seniors for his book, "30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans." From there, people's attitudes can evolve as they age. And flexibility often trumps rigidity.
Liam Neeson and Muslim Converts in Prison
Thinking about it, Neeson may be on to something here, with his shallow belief that he can go on as before, just singing a slightly different song along with the muezzin. As my cousin, who spend years ministering as a prison chaplain, wrote me in connection with prison conversions to Islam:
It is not a contradiction to be a Muslim and a murderer, even a mass murderer. That is one reason why criminals “convert” to Islam in prison. They don’t convert at all; they similarly remain the angry judgmental vicious beings they always have been. They simply add “religious” diatribes to their personal invective. Islam does not inspire a crisis of conscience, just inspirations to outrage.
Prisoners use conversion to justify their rage. NeesonÂ’s admiring little speech indicates that at least one movie star types seems to being using it to justify just how shallow he really truly is.
Helmet Cam Combat Footage From Iraq
It's old but still worth watching. Apparently this was taken by American special forces fighting along with Iraqi soldiers in Najaf and Samarra Iraq.
News You Probably Shouldn't Use: Making Thermite
Fe2O3 + 2 Al = 2 Fe + Al2O3Ace Corp LLC cannot be held responsible for your bad judgment. Plus we gots no money.Basically, a high temperature burning metal like iron oxide (rust) mixed with an easier to ignite, oxidizing metal will produce incredibly high amounts of heat in a small area for a short amount of time. Thermite is so hot and powerful, that it can even burn straight through asphalt. This is fun for some homemade fireworks, but beware, it's against the law to make incendiary mixtures like this and ignite them.

Back as I was getting my permit I read a horror story about a NC businessman driving through Jersey, got pulled over, and admitted to having a handgun in his briefcase, apparently not realizing there was no reciprocity. 6 months in jail, something like that.

I told him, I'd remind him he said that...what with the Alzheimer's and all....
That year my daughter, who was about 9 at the time, made him a birthday card. She drew a picture of a guy on a motorcycle and wrote 'Happy birthday, daddy. I'm glad you didn't drive over a cliff!'

Ideology tends to be holistic. So I would presume you see the effects of depending on SS kicking in. Suddenly more and more leftist pablum seems easier to swallow, because Leftists are 'defending' your checks...
I would also argue that the "you get more conservative as you get older" *starts* when you figure out you are paying a lot in taxes...

One easy target is the media, which has done its best to push leftist politics.
But I was thinking there might be an even more basic factor.
Remember that idiot a few years ago who killed himself but tried to make it look like an "anti-government murder" by sticking a note that said "FED" to himself? Now, he was a fool and botched it so badly the left could not use his death.
Consider for a minute that there are people who believe that killing themselves to advance leftist policies is a morally good thing. Now fortunately their are few of them. But then how many Americans are there right now willing to commit lesser actions, equally immoral in the name of the Left?
So thinking it through, I think a big part of the left's success it their embrace of "revolutionary morality". We conservatives are constrained by an notion of a universal, and generally unchanging, morality. It severely constrains what we do.
Of course revolutionary morality boils down to, "whatever helps the left achieve power is good, whatever reduces its power is bad." In some ways this is strikingly similar to Islam. Muhammed united a bunch of feuding petty warlords by simply getting them to embrace the basic notion one's actions were moral if they advanced Islam, and immoral if they retarded it. And within a generation they became the greatest Empire in the world.

The definition of what a Conservative is moves so that the same ideas 20 years ago are now radical far right and the left ideas are now normal conservative.
20 years ago no one who had two divorces, has on tape his love of FDR, thinks a moon base and making kids work in the lunch room and think thats what a federal government should do and be considered a Conservative.

Good point. I'd define the left's morality as situational. Looking at it from that standpoint makes it much simpler to understand.

The fourth one, is that Dunst? The bigger objection there is the risk of bursting into flame. She doesn't make it as a day walker.
But we have no shortage of generously constructed women out there who aren't freak show particpants. Brooklyn Decker and of course Christina Hendricks. The more familiar of the Lane Bryant models, though no names come to mind. Someday they'll identify the genes that allow for a woman to be built like that without just looking flabby. Kat Demmings is a personal favorite of mine, as she is not only spectacularly built but seems to be someone you'd really like to hang out with.
That last can be a huge selling point. There are plenty of celebrity women out there who are beautiful in a technical sense but don't seem like they'd be of any interest in a venue where they couldn't lead with their looks.

"Rising taxes are pushing more and more of the [Portuguese] economy off the books. A study for Porto University found that the shadow economy, which doesnÂ’t pay any tax, grew by 2.5% last year, and now accounts for a quarter of Portuguese economic activity. There is no point in expecting that to change any time soon. Portuguese companies simply canÂ’t survive paying the tax rates now imposed on them.
The result? Deficit reduction targets are being missed. Earlier this month, the government revised the deficit forecast up from 4.5% to 5.9% of GDP for this year."

Very familiar. I used to remodel kitchens kitchens. I tore a shitload of 1970's nightmares out of houses. Avacado, sunset gold, and that fucking miserable turd brown. Yeah, a time when the mediterranean style was all the rage, and wrought iron table legs and velour couches ruled the day. People had lost their fucking minds.

Nobody saw more clearly than the great political thinker de Tocqueville that democracy stands in an irreconcilable conflict with socialism: "Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom," he said. "Democracy attaches all possible value to each man," he said in 1848, "while socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."
To allay these suspicions and to harness to its cart the strongest of all political motives—the craving for freedom — socialists began increasingly to make use of the promise of a "new freedom." Socialism was to bring "economic freedom," without which political freedom was "not worth having."
To make this argument sound plausible, the word "freedom" was subjected to a subtle change in meaning. The word had formerly meant freedom from coercion, from the arbitrary power of other men. Now it was made to mean freedom from necessity, release from the compulsion of the circumstances which inevitably limit the range of choice of all of us. Freedom in this sense is, of course, merely another name for power or wealth. The demand for the new freedom was thus only another name for the old demand for a redistribution of wealth.

Kinda like the Corvair. What a piece of work that was.
Wasn't too bad driving in a straight line providing there was no wind. Trying to corner at speed was an invitation to the ditch.

That was the first gen with the swing axles that gave Ralph Nader his big start
The 2nd gen 65 to 69 models were actually gorgeous and had IRS similar to the Corvette. Those actually handled quite nicely, you could lose a muscle car on a curvy back road

Oh god.... my house had that when I bought it. The asshole that owned the house before me did the whole family room with it, and to make it even more depressing he matched it with black painted moldings. I tore that shit right out and gutted the whole room. I didn't even want to keep the sheet rock it touched. lol

Ayep. Came with the house. Ripped that crap out within the week we moved in. Dry wall wasn't too badly damaged. Patch job and white paint made the family room seem twice as big. There was no easy solution for the dingleberry ceiling though. I don't remember how or whether we ever fixed that horror.

I bought 'Road to Serfdom' years ago to read on an airplane. Carried it on a couple of flights. Struck up a couple of interesting conversations. One from a libertarian that totally got it, and one with a screwy fucking leftist that wouldn't stop babbling the standard bullshit. I wanted to shove the book in his mouth crosswise under the hope that it would shut him up.

Interesting article Robert. I especially enjoyed the comments where moonbats defended the government entity creating the unrealistics goals and bashing capitalism to an inch of its life. Good stuff. DOOM is my prediction for California... but then, I've already seen their state pension costs on the net, when you have thousands of retired government employees pulling in 150,000 dollars a year or more, you're in big trouble. They almost seem to be destroying themselves on purpose. Surely liberals can't be that f'in dumb...

'The deflowered girl did not become pregnant. The undeflowered girl became pregnant. What is it?'
Answer: Auxiliary forces. The term for a group of soldiers is puzzling here, says Wasserman.
Actually this does make some sense. In military talk a virgin (undeflowered) is a person or group that has not seen combat. Pregnancy may mean becoming fat. Auxiliary forces are those that usually are behind the lines and have not seen combat. Today they are also called REMF's. The joke could be referencing the tendency of those forces to be lazy and complacent while behind the lines.
Behind the main lines where the Auxiliary forces were would also have been the location of the camp followers. Including the families and prostitutes that would have followed the military units. So the answer could have had a dual meaning.
