Re: a comment on How to make a suicide bomber by Caducus	14-Mar-05/12:52 PM
Am I going blind or something? You said this poeme was "A commentary on American policy in Iraq, and a good one." I don't think it's a good commentary on American policy in Eye-rak, for all the reasons mentioned in my thought for the day. That's why I asked Caducus if he had intended it as such. He said he hadn't mentioned any particular conflict, probably because he wanted to distance his poeme from parps that could ensue from sitting anywhere other than on the fence. He also had the common decency to comdemn suicide bombing, at least in cases where it is a product of religious zeal. The trouble is there doesn't seem to be any other kind of suicide bombing. Even kamikaze bombers were motivated by a form of imperial zeal; their reward may not have been eternal paradise, but as far as they were concerned eternal honour was pretty much the same thing. In fact, if you look carefully enough, you'll probably find that selfless individuals tend to have the courtesy not to explode themselves in crowded areas. In conclusion, the only documented case of a truly selfless suicidal attack occurs in Star Trek Generations, where Captain Kirk manages to stop Soran, but at the expense of being crushed by a bridge :(

You dullard. If you had been following the news carefully, you'd realise that the overwhelming majority of the victims of suicide attacks in Iraq have been Iraqi civilians and Iraqi security forces, not Westerners. In Iraq, the enemy's strategy is clearly one of deliberately targeting the Iraqi people to instil fear. They want to sabotage the political process, because they know democracy will not give them the power they crave. Why? Because they represent a tiny minority of the population. Many of them are former baathists, fundamentalists who want to establish a totalitarian theocracy, and foreign scallywags like the Jordanian Zarqawi. In other words, people with a lot to lose in a free democracy, and a lot to gain from another vicious dictatorship. I won't deny some of these insurgents are ordinary young men in the wrong place at the wrong time, deluded by spiritual leaders, anti-western propaganda, and their own pride into fighting an occupation, but when they target fellow Iraqis one tends to lose sympathy. And what are the ingredients of the average suicide bomber? Has there been a single Middle Eastern suicide bomber who wasn't utterly seeped in a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam? Or whose propaganda did not originate under a totalitarian regime? How many free democracies do you know that sponsor terrorist training camps and regularly churn out suicide bombers from among their own people? Are they motivated by an urge to combat western oppression, or do they want to spend an eternity in paradise shagging virgins? Perhaps we should capitulate to such people, or at most contain them. There's no doubt that many have died as a consequence of the invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan; the real question is whether or not such a conflict was avoidable in the long term. Don't forget that people were dying there everyday, and would have continued to suffer under those regimes if we had merely contained them. And when those regimes collapsed, what then? Is the environment in a failed rogue state such that ordinary people have a decent chance of establishing a representative government, free from bloodshed? Or does power inevitably fall to the most vicious, most ruthless, most power-hungry sadist in the region? Are We back at square one, with a body count that continues to rise unbeaked? “Democracy begins at home,” they say. And I think that's true, in the sense that the majority have to want democracy before it can work. When more than 8 million Iraqis (about 59% of the population) turned out to vote, despite consistent threats from YOUR NOBLE SUICIDE BOMBERS that they would target polling stations, I think their commitment to democracy cannot be in doubt. Would any of that have been possible without military intervention? Iraq may yet go tits-up, and there can be little doubt we've made mastakes there, but if I know one thing for sure, it's that things aren't as simple as the default "AMERICA = NAUGHTY" dumpling you so lazily embrace :(

Is this poeme about Iraq, or if not exclusively about Iraq, do you think it applies to Iraq and to what is happening there?

Re: a comment on Disable by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.	9-Mar-05/4:09 AM
Are you talking about -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.'s reading of nentwined's appalling dumpling "Iterated Fuck" http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=40804 , or are you talking about the Dick Bumston readings? To my knowledge, there are no live links to any of these soilings, save the second Dick Bumston story, which is available here: http://jowls.org/audio/dickbumstonstory2.ogg . Access to "Iterated Fuck", the first dick bumston story, and "The Dick Bumston Groove Scenario" would have to be arranged via some predisclosed communications channel, such as an email address.

It's interesting that suicide tends to be more prevalent during peace time. Having an enemy to fight against seems to give people a sense of purpose, and while they're busy gouging out his eyes, or stamping on his balls, Kurt Cobain is merely a whining gnat on the buttocks of their subconscious.
Re: a comment on a note to the politically inactive fundamentalist christians by i_am_the_popsicle	7-Mar-05/5:00 PM
It's the same foetus, but it has been sucked into a morality vacuum, from which no foetal rights can escape. The only solution is to pull your trousers up as high as they will go, and pray for a miracle.
Re: a note to the politically inactive fundamentalist christians by i_am_the_popsicle	5-Mar-05/4:00 AM
OK. Gayness should be legalised because by and large it's a victimless hobby, and giving homo couples a similar legal status to normals wouldn't really compromise the existing institution of marriage... but wait... what am I saying? "A victimless hobby"? What about all those leopards that have to die, just so gays can have leopard skin undergarments? What of all those poor, innocent cub scouts they keep chained up, and naked, in the vast labyrinth of catacombs that every gay household has beneath their dwelling? And what of the terrible pillow shortages that are sure to ravage the countryside as gays chomp their way through the nation's supply, wide eyed and oblivious, driven mad by the frenzied lusts of sexual immoderation? Quibbling aside, what I find truly "unbelievably appalling" about this poeme is that you don't seem to have thought about abortion at all. It's definitely not in the same ball park as legalised nonce marriage. To anyone who believes that the unborn child is a living human being, abortion is mass murder on a whopping scale. It's a matter of consistency. I mean, surely you must agree that expelling a foetus from the unmentionables and severing the umbilical cord doesn't, in itself, suddenly make the child sentient. The dumpling was sentient BEFORE it was excreted. Can you tell me you're honestly certain at what point a foetus has the right not to be murdered? Of course in cases where giving birth could seriously harm the mother one's mind has to parp, and give her some say in the matter, but at least admit that we're dealing with a conflict of rights here, and that abortion is a very serious issue indeed. -no vote-
