Pittsburgh group plans to storm recruiting office and "cage" recruiters...

Despite her political leanings, the Che shirt does emphasize the only two good reasons to notice her existence....

[K Frame]

"Her face doesn't look vacuous, Mike."

You really need to harness the power of a dictionary.

It's precisely as I have described it -- it's vacuous expression.

Of course, that may be the look she gets on her face anytime she's computing pi to 400 million digits...


That said, I'll ask again.

Does anyone know what the logo is on the kerchief being worn by the vacuous-looking blond in the background?

[Perd Hapley]

Ha!   

[bunni]

That said, I'll ask again.

Does anyone know what the logo is on the kerchief being worn by the vacuous-looking blond in the background?

My first thought was a gold fleur de lis - Boy Scouts?

[Manedwolf]

It's the Soviet flag. Look closely, you can see the curve of the sickle closest, the thicker line. The thinner lines above are part of the star.

[Scout26]

Manedwolf nailed it.

Okay, I'm willing to chip in buy these moonbats a one-way ticket to that socialist heaven-on-earth called North Korea, since they hate it so much here.....

[Bigjake]

Manedwolf nailed it.

Yeah, I'm more than a little bit offended by these asshats wearing our enemies national symbol. 

Why is it that these tile crawling commies get away with wearing the hammer and sickle with impunity and anybody that has a shaved head and likes the Swastika is instantly newsworthy??

She strongly resembles a girl I had a short relationship with once upon a time.  A slightly older and thicker version.

[K Frame]

"It's the Soviet flag."

OK, I was wrong about her.

She's not vacuous looking.

She's completely frigging brain dead.

[Scout26]

I still say that Miss Che shirt with a Pali kerchief has a smug look on face (or maybe an "I just cut the cheese" look.)

I bet that after getting pushed off the boat and spending a week or so in Castro's Glorious People Republic, she won't be looking quite so smug, and be begging to come back to Great Satan, the Mean Ol' Evil US of A.

[freakazoid]

The funny thing is that those fruitcakes are also anarchists.

They don't seem to realize that all that anarchism means that if they pulled something like that, anyone who wished to could shoot them all and cart them off. Who would do anything about it?

Anarchism means that rule by force becomes the only rule. And they never get that. Maybe they ought to visit some of the constant-warfare bloody pits in Africa to see what anarchism looks like.

Africa isn't an anarchy. You have no understanding of what anarchy is. And who would do anything about it? How about the community? Of course there is still going to be some violence. We have a large government now, and yet we still have violence. I'm sure that people in places like Britain would say the exact same thing about the chaos that would happen if they didn't have all of the gross violations on privacy or allowed the subjects to have firearms.

Except that their view of anarchism is actually more a utopian idealism.

I've talked to a couple of these fruitcakes.

They TRULY believe that mankind would eagerly embrace the anarchist ideal of personal interactions replacing structured government, and that everyone would treat everyone else equitably.

Yeesh.

Your lack of faith in humanity is disturbing. I take it you are not even a libertarian with that little faith in humanity. Ever heard of the Native Americans? Did you know that they lived in a society that is not unlike a communistic/anarchist society?

They would obviously blame that on THE EVIL GUNS!!!

Umm... why? I'm an anarchist and yet I also believe you should be able to walk down the street with a 1919 if you wanted, although that would be pretty impracticle but if you wanted you should be able to.

Ummmm.....Forward Defense.  Ever see any pictures of Europe after WWII ??  Or Iraq/Gaza/Lebanon at present.  War is messy and breaks things.  I'd much rather fight over there then over here.

I'm with ManedWolf.  If we have an Empire, then where is my $.25 a gallon gas ??  My $.50 a bottle German Bier served chilled by my Korean houseboy and all my needs at attended to by at least half a dozen Geisha girls, ?? I should a French Chef cooking my meals and an Italian as my driver (well, maybe not an Italian) ??

Why would everything all of a sudden become free, or really cheap under an empire? If America wasn't imperialistic then how is it that we got a hold of places like Hawaii.  And I'd much rather fight over here than over there if it meant not being the aggressor, just like I would rather still be fighting WWII if it meant not dropping the 2 nukes on civilians.

(Like smoking pot and being stupid).

Oh yeah, pot is eeeevil.

Manedwolf nailed it.

Okay, I willing to chip in buy these moonbats a one-way ticket to that socialist heaven-on-earth called North Korea, since they hate it so much here.....

If North Korea is socialist then America is a democracy. Your saying that if they don't like it here then they should leave, instead of trying to fix the problem. Even though people like you say that instead of the Mexicans coming here "illegally" they should try to fix there problem over there.

Yeah, I'm more than a little bit offended by these asshats wearing our enemies national symbol.

Why is it that these tile crawling commies get away with wearing the hammer and sickle with impunity and anybody that has a shaved head and likes the Swastika is instantly newsworthy??

Tile crawling commies, what does that even mean? How exactly is the Soviet Union still or enemy? It doesn't even exist. Or do you mean a country that was once our enemy? In that case did you know that before it was once or enemy it was or ally against the Nazis? Also, the hammer and sickle actually represents more than just the Soviet Union, it represents the working movement. And not everyone who wears it is saying they support the Soviet Union, although some people do mean that. Just like the swastika doesn't necessarily represent the Nazis

And what is with you people making fun of someone for what there facial expression was when there picture was taken? You have no idea on what the context of it is.

>Your lack of faith in humanity is disturbing.<

"Faith in humanity"? we're talking about a race that has members willingly selling their own children into sexual slavery, and you want me to have FAITH in them?

 Whatever you're smoking, please pass it on!

[Manedwolf]

I smell a Paulbot.

Okay, anarchist...

I want your stuff. I'm going to shoot you and come take it. Why not?

And don't go into the "I'm armed too" nonsense. Unless you want to step outside your door to get the mail wearing battle rattle and have a house layered with Kevlar and fireproofing, anyone with a hunting rifle could tag you well before you even see them hundreds of yards off, then come in and take your stuff.

Anarchy becomes rule by mobs and gangs within days, if not hours.

Anarchism is nothing but intellectual self-pleasuring for people who haven't grown up yet. It becomes invalid the first time the first criminal decides they want more, and takes it. People band together for protection as others band together to pillage, the protection groups elect leadership, and that's how human civilization advanced.

[freakazoid]

What is a Paulbot?

I want your stuff. I'm going to shoot you and come take it. Why not?

You do realize that happens now right?

Anarchy becomes rule by mobs and gangs within days, if not hours.

Tell that to the Native Americans.

And don't go into the "I'm armed too" nonsense. Unless you want to step outside your door to get the mail wearing battle rattle and have a house layered with Kevlar and fireproofing, anyone with a hunting rifle could tag you well before you even see them hundreds of yards off, then come in and take your stuff.

What? Do people all of a sudden loose all sense of morals?

Anarchism is nothing but intellectual self-pleasuring for people who haven't grown up yet.

If that could be said of anarchists then that can be said of libertarians.

"Faith in humanity"? we're talking about a race that has members willingly selling their own children into sexual slavery, and you want me to have FAITH in them?

What in the world are you talking about? Anarchists sell there children into slavery?

[K Frame]

"Anarchy becomes rule by mobs and gangs within days, if not hours.

Tell that to the Native Americans."

What?

You're saying that Indians lived in anarchical societies, untroubled by complex leadership/government?

You really need to bulk up on your American Indian history.

The Iroquois Confederacy is now believed to have begun in the 1100s.

Many tribes had extremely heirarchical and complex leadership structures.

Thomas Jefferson - Notes on Virginia

This practice results from the circumstances of their, the Indians, having never submitted themselves to any laws, any coercive power, any shadow of government. Their only controls are their manners, and that of moral sense of right and wrong, which, like the sense of taste and feeling in every man, makes a part of his nature. An offense against these is punished by contempt, by exclusion from society, or, where the case is serious, as that of murder, by the individuals whom it concerns. Imperfect as this species of coercion may seem, crimes are very rare among then; insomuch that were it made a question, whether no law, as among the savage Americans, or too much law, as among civilized Europeans, submits man to the greater evil, one who has seen both conditions of existence would pronounce it to be the last; and that the sheep are happier themselves, than under the care of the wolves. It will be said, that great societies cannot exist without government. The savages, therefore, break them into smaller ones.

There is another quote about how they lived in the Journals of Lewis and Clark, but I currently do not have that on me and will have to post it later, sorry,

edit - forgot to mention that I believe that this is also how we are supposed to be living in accordance with the Bible, 1 Samuel 8.

so your saying that a white american of european desent in a time period in which anyone who was not a white european was either a.) a savage or b.) a primitive, would understand the complex nature of another, and completly dissimaler culture?

just because they didn't have laws as we understand them today didn't mean they didn't have a social system to govern behavior.

[Racehorse]

What I think anarchists don't get is that there are lots of people with no morals who refrain from doing bad things because of the legal consequences. In other words, they don't want to go to jail, but if they could rob, steal, murder, rape, and plunder with impunity, they would do so. Remove the governing bodies in society and the strongest gets whatever he/she wants.

they don't actually want anarchy. they want a fairytale. unfortunatly this is real life.

[wooderson]

'Anarchism' and 'anarchy' don't mean the same thing, folks.

You should probably just keep forgetting it.  If you look into it even a little bit, that argument falls apart.  It's just so off-base and silly, in so many ways. 

"Faith in humanity"? we're talking about a race that has members willingly selling their own children into sexual slavery, and you want me to have FAITH in them?

No, he's saying that humans have been known to do this.  His overall point is that humanity is not something that deserves your trust. 

[BlueStarLizzard]

Anarchism n. 1. the theory that all forms of government interfere unjustly with individual liberty 2. resistance to all government.

Anarchy n. 1. the absence of government 2. political disorder and violence 3. disorder; confusion.

thank you Websters New World Dictionary.

no, the two words do not mean the same thing. but they are related, considering that the result of the theory is anarchy.

[Racehorse]

Anarchism is not the promotion of and desire for anarchy? Please explain.

OK, I was wrong about her.

[The Annoyed Man]

>What in the world are you talking about? Anarchists sell there children into slavery?<

My point (as fistful pointed out) is that humanity tends to be made up of folks who willfully engage in disgusting, degenerate acts. The worst I've personally encountered (so far) is called "domestic human trafficking", and refers to the practice of "selling or renting" your own child as a sex toy for a pedophile. It's a crime that is so serious, local agencies tend to be bypassed in it's prosecution: most local agencies are unequipped to deal with it.

 And before you try claiming I'm full of it, *I* didn't know about this until a conversation with a federal prosecuter, trying to get info for a case I was working on.

 Now, you expect me to, after seeing stuff like this, have faith in humanity? Again, please pass whatever you're smoking, it's good stuff!
