    So there's this Occupy Wall Street protest in Manhattan today

    Wait, what? With the publicity gained by both the Occupy movement and the crackdown, plus the normal partisan politicking in the USA, I can certainly expect heavy shit flying both ways over this. But do you guys really think there's that much more to it?

    Strong opinions, weakly held

    It's very easy to pick your battles online, and research the topic at hand before posting. Offline, that's not really possible, and you are still expected to be able to deliver a reasoned opinion on pretty much anything, to do it with style and grace, almost at the drop of a hat, or be...

    [Funny] Eat your veggies!

    Yeah, change you can believe in and all that... ;) I suppose a pizza can be made with a view to health aspects as well, but most of the regular pizzas I'm familiar with cannot, in good conscience, be declared good for a person's physical health. And it would appear that the initial USDA...

    Strong opinions, weakly held

    An interesting read. Personally, I've always thought that, when unsure of the accuracy of your position, it's better to err on the side of caution and express a more moderate view, than it is to take a firm stance and run the risk of getting royally blown out of the water by people who actually...

    [Funny] Eat your veggies!

    That vegetable certainly looks delicious. Seriously though, I think as the article said/implied, this piece of legislation is a political tool to enable regular pizza to fit right in with the nutritional requirements for federally subsidized school meals. The USDA wanted to introduce healthier...

    US Congress rules that pizza is a vegetable You know, I used to think the directives issued by the EU sometimes seemed a bit funny. But I guess we over here are still amateurs on that.

    So, you guys should ramp up production and get to bombing, then. Because, in some years, dem furriners are gonna have it, too.

    [Movies] 1,001 Movies to See Before You Croak (Halforums Edition)

    I am not entirely sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'd suggest: Documentary: The World at War (1973-74) It is a british documentary series of 26 episodes concerning the events of WWII, so it's not exactly a movie. Still, I found it to be very good, and useful in giving people a...

    America can now bomb anywhere, in <1 hour.

    In most cases, but that depends. I'm no nuclear scientist either, but as I've understood it, the difference is whether you want to kill something specific that is hard, or are going for AoE. In a ground burst, the destruction is immense at ground zero, but as the energy gets radiated in all...

    [Question] If you were forced to choose your demise, how would you do it?

    Execution by firing squad seems to me to be the most noble way to go. If I am going to die, then why not make the most of the theatrics?
