He redefines "war", then redefines "combatant", then redefines "civilians". He's not a kind of holocaust denier, he just redefines common terms for his own convenience, and explains here why the entire Japanese populous were combatants (and it was an act of mercy dropping the atomic bombs): the entire Japanese populous was armed with bamboo sticks and prepared to fight till death (and were therefore combatants, no civilians), they would've been slaughtered by the US army at an invasion, and the mere 20,000 casulaties of the atomic bomb drops were small compared to the casulaties that would've been the result of slaughtering bamboo stick armed women and children.

Interesting, I came up with that exact argument as the rationale the Europans used to justify wiping out Terpish cities. I was planning on writing a bibliography for my novel series which provides citations from real-life right wingers for every policy or statement made by the antagonists. That way, no one can claim I am creating political strawmen or creating unrealistic characters when I portray the Europans engaging in their antagonistic activities. This guy sounds like he could provide a wealth of such citations.

If West Virginians elect Joe Manchin as their Senator, he will literally shoot a bill that has been politically dead for months.

At least that might speed Senate procedure up.

He's the Democratic Party candidate in that race. His Republican opponent will presumably reply by threatening to use nuclear weapons against the abolition of 'don't ask, don't tell'.

I'd just like to note that people who viewed this also viewed this.

Perhaps you'd like some brain bleach.

Or buy this.

Damnit Eddy... You can still claim about anything then, because for almost every statement, someone has claimed it at one time or another.

Then what would you suggest?

[Delthayre]

BAD PARK YOU!

In fairness, I too would be quite incensed under those circumstances.

[Torco]

bad park you! okay!

xD priceless

[Terra]

Use only the mainstream and currently popular ones. Face it, you're trying to capture something that's changing. 50 years ago people openly supported segregation, but nowadays no popular Republican would be caught dead supporting it (which doesn't mean that they didn't support it back then, but whether they do now). You're doomed for irrelevancy eventually.

BAD PARK YOU!

It is. It won an Ig Nobel.

Hehe, though interestingly, I just noticed, they left out a bunch, like Hong Kong, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Anhui (possibly others, but I wasn't keeping track, and also it's 3am).

What is this weird American custom for Christians getting circumcised? Where did that come from? Is it from some evangelical influence?

Perhaps part of the answer may lay in the Jewish community. Here, in Montreal, our Jewish hospital offer circumcision to all born (male) infants. It might have been the case in many US hospitals, so there you go.

Because many people in the US believe that circumcision is "healthier" (will lead to less problems down there), or something like that. I recently read that that is not at all true, and there is actually no benefit to the procedure.
