Been having fun pointing out to people threatening war that France has been at war with ISIS since September 2014.

You know, everybody wants to get a time machine and go back and kill Hitler. Imagine if they went back and killed Mohammad in the cradle.

Long as we include Jesus, Abraham, and all the other semi-legendary people of history on that list.

I'm ok with the guy whose main philosophy was "turn the other cheek."

A) He may not have existed.

B) Your best understanding of his philosophy comes from a censured list of holy books which have been translated who knows how many times through fuck knows how many languages, and even the first editions came about decades after Jeebus's alleged death.

I'd also like to add that Carrot Top has more control over his brand their either Mo or Jeebus, in spite of divine beings supposedly having their backs.

Well you're the one who put him on the kill list.

Just saying, giving Jeebus a free pass for shit that may or may not have happened is weird if you're hating on Mo for something similar, relative historical existences aside.

I'd probably just warn him that the Jew thing won't work out. And the Russia thing. And that Japan brings the U.S. into the war.

I might just tell him that his paintings become worth a lot in the future, without mentioning why. That would be enough.

Anonymous declares war on ISIS due to Paris attacks.

Didn't they already do that for something else?

Oh noes! ISIS is gonna get its twitter account hacked!

If ISIS can actually figure out how to hit ISIS's funding, recruitment, or communication that would be awesome.

I think ISIS knows how to hit ISIS's funding.

The Eagles of Death Metal were playing "Save A Prayer" when they got their show interrupted. There's a push to send it to #1 on the UK singles chart. Because a Duran Duran cover about random one night stands surging to the top is going to show our resolve. I guess the sentiment is appreciated, but remember when motherfuckers bought war bonds and other shit that kind of made a measurable difference?

Douchebag government assholes are already calling for backdoors to encryption because of this. Fuck them. Nothing like using dead bodies as political and emotional fodder for bad fucking ideas.

When all you care about is having power, then the answer to every problem is more power.

Raid in Paris stops terrorist attack.

Meanwhile, in a friendly between Greece and Turkey [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ly-against

-Greece-Istanbul.html?ito=social-facebook]Turkish fans boo the moment of silence for the Paris victims and chant "Allah Akbar". [/url] I guess the "small percentage of extremist Muslims" just happened to all be at the game.

Anonymous attacks ISIS' Twitter accounts.

Anonymous is also releasing personal details of ISIS folks. This part I don't agree with because they need to have iron clad proof someone is with ISIS or they risk innocent lives. I'm quite certain the folks in Anonymous are probably against the death penalty (although maybe I'm wrong), and one of the biggest criticisms of it is "what if they're innocent". Seems like putting someone in harm's way without concrete proof of their guilt and without their day in court would be pretty hypocritical. Although, I fully support giving said details to authorities so they can follow up on them.

You really can't make any sort of blanket statement like that about anonymous and have it be accurate. It's way too amorphous of a group and traditional left-right politics doesn't enter into most of what they do because it would be impossible to get them to agree.

This is like saying "I'm quite certain the folks that drive cars are probably against abortion..."

Given how worthless our judicial system is I see no reason to put more faith in the authority of a court of law than in what I myself can discover. Who made Anonymous judge and jury? Anonymous did. And I can respect them for taking up the responsibility.

Do I trust them to do a good job with it? Not as much as I would like. Vigilantism can be messy. But governments are just people, too, and just as prone to make mistakes. There's no good reason to have more faith in a court of law than you would in a rabble of self-appointed judges. There are no good answers.
