Wasn't Saddam ousted for doing precisely this sort of thing?
by Simon inutterly disgusting.
those responsible should be lined against a wall and shot.
publicly.. i think that would win more hearts and minds than bombing cities and using gunships on civilian areas.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4855930/.

This is an article by Susan Sontag on the photos from Abu Ghraib. It sums up a lot of what is said here (obviously the less neo-con-ish!) and she writes excellently on the photos being a mirror to contemporary American culture. Enjoy.

ALL TIME FAVORITE "OLD" MOVIE
by sandy ini just finished watching "splendor in the grass".
for some reason i love to torture myself with sad movies and sad songs.. the end of that movie is so heart breaking.
actually its bitter-sweet but when you are still stuck on someone who you cannot have it is heart-breaking.. i had to restrain myself from calling my ex.

Today I learned that my cousin is getting dfed next week. Sex is involved of course. I feel really gutted for him, and his parents. He's having to move out of the family home into an apartment. He's an only child and his parents will stick to the principles of the August KM. They're gutted. Particularly his mum. Despite it being their choice to shun him, I feel so sad for them as I know it will kill them to do it. He's in his mid twenties and his reason for being a dub was entirely social, so the exclusion will be traumatic for him. He still believes it's the truth though. He's a bit of a lummox so who knows whether this will make him realise he was brought up in a cult.
We're not really in contact with each other but I'll be emailing next week after it's announced.
I'd like to hire a plane to fly above their convention stadium trailing banner that says "JWs suck".
ugh.

Blacks can't speak English - Bill Cosby
by closer2fine insorry if this was already posted, i did a search & didn't see it.. .

And the truth is that there are many different ways of speaking English (as Leolaia's posts excellently explain), not just one correct way.
Referring to Bill Cosby as 'one of their own' implies that you lump all black people together as something apart from non black people. And as to using Hispanics as an example of being dirty and on welfare, it's got nothing to do with their race and to suggest otherwise is IMHO racist. maybe that's a truth you don't want to face.
The thread certainly makes it clear that the class system is live and kicking.

It was a last minute affair, sorry.
I'm afraid fate is keeping us apart as i have my final exam of my finals on Friday and Thursday will be spent cramming my head with nonsense. Unless you can answer the question What is Modernism? and can help me revise.
You're off to the beach, I'm off to the library. You're the B'stard!
Have fun in Dallas and remember you are representing all us Scots - hope you're taking some Irn Bru.

Ross,
My deep, philisophical ponderings are not meant for your entertainment. Yeh, and it hasn't gone unnoticed that you'll travel halfway round the world to see ex-dubs, but you never come and see me. Ken and I had an apostafest-a-trois with my friend H on Wednesday night. If only you had been here...

not completely off topic...
Mormon polygamy has always struck me as quintessentially American. It's one of the many things that appeals to me about the USA. On reflection Mormons are truly American ambassadors. Wherever I go in Europe I see these clean-cut, young, patriotic guys with their shirts, ties and badges and chat to them about some of the bizarre aspects of their faith.
While I'm not against legalising polygamy, maybe it shouldn't be legalised so that they can still seem appealingly avant-garde to me.
