I don't find Archer funny at all. Everyone says it's awesome. I've tried watching it before. I just don't get it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it sucks or is stupid or anything... I'm legitimately baffled as to what makes the show funny.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

It's probably funnier to someone of my generation who grew up with James Bond, Man from Uncle, Get Smart, I Spy, Our Man Flint and Secret Agent. My son can't relate to The Venture Brothers because he has no clue as to who Johnny Quest or Clutch Cargo were. He's working towards his bachelor's in Physics, then hoping to go on to earn a PhD. One day I quipped that he'll have to become a super-scientist, but the joke didn't register with him at all."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

I was against the Iraqi war. You can go back and check my posts. I didn't believe that the US had any long-term strategic interests in the region.So, in the long run, deposing Saddam was in the best interst of the United States?
I also believe that if you're going to break it you buy it and you take the time to do it right. You don't cut and run like Obama did. How long did the US stay in Germany?Last edited by Ben Kenobi; October 12, 2014, 00:19.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

so anyway, it looks like kobane is going to fall and that there will be a massacre
turkey's role in this is something to consider. despite all their talk and emergency meetings, they're not going to be too unhappy with ISIS for putting pressure on the PKK backed rojava kurds and almost certainly see them as the lesser evil. western policy of arming 'moderate' rebels, will probably allow turkey and the gulf states the cover they need to arm and fund whoever they like (including ISIS) without attracting too much criticism.
the situation in the rojava is fascinating. it could be reasonably described as a revolution, the pursuit of autonomous government at a local level, the rise of popular democratic assemblies, the empowering of women in all areas of social and political life and the inclusive and anti-authoritarian ideology; in short the positive desire and crucially, actions to build a new society. it goes without saying that they have been isolated by all sides, especially turkey, which has the most to fear from this movement (which started in turkey) spreading, and largely ignored by the western media."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

the PKK is a marxist - leninist organization (if you saw the banners they were flying even had che guevara icons on them) so naturally is leagues more progressive than the ISIS.Comment
