[00:18:16] <Ethanol-fueled> FUCK YOU
[00:18:20] <Ethanol-fueled> HASHHAAHAHAHA
[00:18:26] <juggs> o.O
[00:19:09] <Ethanol-fueled> juggs, you britbongs are in for more Cameron.
[00:19:22] <juggs> aye
[00:19:49] <Ethanol-fueled> What do you think about the SNP?
[00:20:16] <juggs> I don't
[00:20:42] <Ethanol-fueled> so Scotland's oil wealth has nothing to do with Britain?
[00:21:13] <chromas> it's not kirk cameron is it
[00:21:28] <juggs> it does - what's your point EF?
[00:22:11] <Ethanol-fueled> My point is Scottish nationalism. How are they rebelling against the Brit mainland?
[00:23:00] <Ethanol-fueled> How long will it be until the Scots succeed?
[00:23:53] <juggs> Well Scotland was a pretty staunch Labour region - Labour hardly put on a show anyone would vote for, so unsurprisingly Scots looked elsewhere to place their votes. Unlikely they would start voting Tory :D
[00:26:07] <juggs> Presuming you meant "secede" - that's quite a complex subject as it involves questions around currency and EU membership as well as a purely political separation from the UK
[00:28:17] -!- Subsentient has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[00:29:24] <Ethanol-fueled> Well, the scots seem to want to secede.
[00:29:46] <Ethanol-fueled> and I say, go for it! Fuck the Brits!
[00:29:52] <juggs> Strange they didn't vote that way when they had their referendum on the matter :/
[00:30:05] <arti> don't scots live on the dole?
[00:30:11] <Ethanol-fueled> juggs, that was the NSA/GCHQ cutting them off.
[00:30:20] <Ethanol-fueled> arti, scots have oil money.
[00:31:21] <arti> i'll educate myself on it more.
[00:31:32] <Ethanol-fueled> But apparantly British elections are every bit the joke American elections are.
[00:31:52] <arti> people hate america because they hate freedom
[00:31:58] * arti stirs the pot
[00:32:17] <arti> the only three letters you need are U, S, and A.
[00:32:31] <arti> this is awesome bait, c'mon

[09:18:50] <crutchy> does anyone know wtf this 'jade helm' shit is about?
[09:19:18] <crutchy> from what i can tell it looks like texas is being invaded by the military
[09:20:36] <crutchy> lot of establishment media playing it down, saying that the military would never do that, but there doesn't seem to be much information about what the military is actually doing (if not invading)
[09:21:56] <crutchy> cos i never heard of any sort of training exercise like this, and there's some scary photos of trainloads of armored vehicles and talk of live ammo and military infiltrating communities etc
[09:22:15] <crutchy> if that's what they're doing, how fucked up is that?
[09:23:47] * crutchy predicts there will be a lot of texans armed to the teeth, and if the military is creeping around its gunna be a powderkeg
[09:25:13] * crutchy grabs popcorn from the safety of his australian home
[09:30:16] <SirFinkus> it's fucking nothing
[09:30:18] <SirFinkus> a drill
[09:30:29] <SirFinkus> and I say this as a conspiracy retard
[09:30:39] <crutchy> drill for what? alien invasion?
[09:30:48] <SirFinkus> it's like the fema camps and all that shit
[09:31:33] <crutchy> i'm not a die hard conspiracy nut, and alex jones is a whacko, but what's got me interested is the official silence
[09:31:43] * SirFinkus shrugs
[09:31:48] <SirFinkus> generally how this shit goes
[09:31:54] <SirFinkus> just wargames
[09:32:01] <crutchy> they either don't give a shit that they're scaring an entire state, or they just don't wanna put their foot in their mouth
[09:32:17] <SirFinkus> it isn't "the entire state"
[09:32:24] <SirFinkus> it's a few very vocal people
[09:32:44] <SirFinkus> 99.99% of texans either don't know, or don't give a shit
[09:32:46] <crutchy> i don't get that feeling, but meh
[09:33:12] <crutchy> there are plenty of other conspiracy theories by alex jones that don't draw this much attention
[09:34:21] <crutchy> all the people that are talking it down are from outside texas
[09:34:40] <SirFinkus> plenty, but alex jones gets EVERY conspiracy theory
[09:34:56] <chromas> http://abcnews.go.com
[09:34:56] <dogpipe> ^ 03Jade Helm 15: The Facts About the Training Exercise Causing Jitters in Texas - ABC News
[09:35:08] <crutchy> yeah i got that open right now
[09:35:08] <SirFinkus> I'd bet there are more "thruthers" than there are people going crazy over jade helm
[09:35:09] <chromas> abc is 'establishment media'
[09:35:32] <crutchy> even that report doesn't actually explain what the excercise is about
[09:35:41] <chromas> the truth about 9/11 is the buildings killed themselves when they found out what was going on inside them
[09:36:13] <crutchy> does anyone know what the military is actually going to do in texas?
[09:36:24] <crutchy> what the drill is?
[09:36:53] <SirFinkus> wargames, they aren't going to go into detail because that would defeat the purpose
[09:37:09] <crutchy> a lot of the media hype denouncing the conspiracy just come off as 'not in my backyard so nothing to worry about' types
[09:37:16] <SirFinkus> they do this shit all the time
[09:37:41] <crutchy> if they don't go into detail, how can you be sure the conspiracy is wrong?
[09:37:53] <SirFinkus> I live near a military base, I've seen troops "invade" a prairie near my house
[09:37:55] <crutchy> <devils_advocate>
[09:38:00] <SirFinkus> you could say that about literally anything
[09:38:13] <crutchy> well, yeah. but its still a valid question
[09:38:22] <SirFinkus> no it isn't
[09:38:27] <chromas> Also we don't care about those states anyhow
[09:38:37] <crutchy> you denounce the conspiracy, but you don't seem to know any better
[09:38:50] <SirFinkus> "how can you be sure the reptilians aren't running the government when you haven't seen world leader's DNA?"
[09:38:59] <SirFinkus> literally the same argument
[09:39:09] <chromas> SirFinkus: don't be dense; it's crab people!
[09:39:39] <SirFinkus> and why all the pretense of a drill? what does that accomplish?
[09:39:39] <crutchy> also valid, but that question doesn't involve raiding large portions of a state in a military excercise, so bit different
[09:40:00] <SirFinkus> "raiding"
[09:40:12] <SirFinkus> they're going to fly some helicopters around
[09:40:23] <chromas> Texas loves the military; it's just returning the love
[09:40:32] <crutchy> you mentioned raiding a prairie as if that's the norm
[09:40:42] <chromas> in scare quotes
[09:40:44] <SirFinkus> it is pretty normal
[09:40:54] <crutchy> you mentioned the word 'raiding' first
[09:41:09] <crutchy> yet when i use it you think i'm exaggerating
[09:41:36] <SirFinkus> did I?
[09:41:42] <crutchy> read the backlog
[09:41:50] <SirFinkus> I did
[09:42:40] <SirFinkus> not that it really matters though
[09:43:06] <crutchy> i'm not saying the conspiracy is right. just asking questions
[09:43:11] <SirFinkus> haha
[09:43:14] <SirFinkus> standard response
[09:43:22] <crutchy> the military does seem to be handling this in a pretty fucked up way
[09:43:43] <SirFinkus> is that shocking or out of the ordinary?
[09:43:50] <crutchy> its pathetic
[09:44:11] <crutchy> and embarrassing (for the supposedly most powerful nation)
[09:44:42] <crutchy> "we have to scare the crap out of a bunch of our own citizens so that we can train to protect them"
[09:44:51] <SirFinkus> don't get me wrong, I don't think they should be running these kinds of drills anyway, but I'd be absolutely shocked if it was something sinister like that
[09:45:08] <SirFinkus> someone needs to justify their budget
[09:45:13] <crutchy> prolly
[09:45:51] <crutchy> just seems like they could get someone a bit more articulate than the blathering idiot they had on to give the official pentagon response
[09:46:28] <crutchy> from what i've seen, i kinda feel sorry for people in texas who have nfi what's about to happen
[09:46:49] <SirFinkus> I live near a military base, this stuff is pretty standard
[09:47:07] <SirFinkus> helicopters buzzing my house, convoys going down the freeway
[09:47:16] <SirFinkus> occasionally the sound of artillery practice
[09:47:17] <chromas> con-vooooooy
[09:47:25] <crutchy> texans are known to be pretty fond of the military too, so for something like this to spook them seems out of sorts
[09:47:49] <chromas> it's 'cause they ran out of beer
[09:47:54] <crutchy> lol
[09:47:54] <ciri> lol that's funny!
[09:48:05] <crutchy> that would warrant military response to quell the riots then :p
[09:48:37] <chromas> ooh, their governor is Greg Abbot. Any relation?
[09:48:51] <crutchy> god i hope not. or i really pity them
[09:48:57] <SirFinkus> so this is a weird thing, people can still be fans of the "military" but still be against the government
[09:49:07] <SirFinkus> it's a strange thing, idk how that works
[09:49:12] <SirFinkus> but basically texas
[09:49:22] <SirFinkus> like small government except for the military
[09:49:32] <chromas> you getchyer flag up and start wavin' it mister!
[09:49:37] <SirFinkus> and law enforcement
[09:49:39] * SirFinkus shrugs
[09:49:59] <crutchy> national defense is one of the things government is supposed to do
[09:50:47] <SirFinkus> well, our military is more of a national offense thing now
[09:51:00] <crutchy> that's the military industrial complex. totally different
[09:51:02] <chromas> the best defence…
[09:51:03] <SirFinkus> pre-emptive strikes and peacekeeping and all that
[09:52:57] <crutchy> if you don't know the difference between the defense forces and the military industrial complex, you should look it up. might be a real eye opener
[09:53:47] <SirFinkus> I understand, but I doubt most texans do, even though that makes me sound like an elitist ass
[09:54:06] <SirFinkus> there is no distinction for most people in the US
[09:54:07] <crutchy> texans have woken up to it before most of the rest of america
[09:54:12] <crutchy> its where ron paul came from
[09:54:31] <SirFinkus> ron paul is an anomaly
[09:54:39] <crutchy> but he's still texan
[09:54:52] <SirFinkus> 1 texan
[09:55:08] <crutchy> who do you think voted him into congress 12 times?
[09:55:11] <chromas> oh really? I'd like to see his birth certificate
[09:55:13] <chromas> long form
[09:55:17] <chromas> why won't he show it to me?
[09:55:27] <SirFinkus> texas also gave us the bushes and rick perry
[09:55:39] <crutchy> bush was elected on a peace platform
[09:55:50] <chromas> didn't bush move to texas and change his accent like carlos mencia?
[09:55:55] <crutchy> he broke his election promises. he's a douchebag
[09:56:24] <crutchy> politics in america sucking is no revelation
[09:56:49] <SirFinkus> you honestly think Texans voted for Bush (twice) because of his "peace platform"?
[09:57:10] <crutchy> from what i read, yeah
[09:57:37] <crutchy> do you honestly think welfare recipients voted for obama twice because of 'hope and change'?
[09:58:08] <crutchy> politicians lie
[09:58:14] <crutchy> but what else is there?
[09:59:03] <SirFinkus> what does obama have to do with anything? my point is that concerns with the military industrial complex clearly don't rank high on texan's priorities
[10:00:12] <crutchy> obama was just to (try to) show that what politicians run on often doesn't have anything to with their platform, and bush was prolly no different, but i read that he did run on peace
[10:00:45] <crutchy> and if you're not aware of texas' suspicions of the military industrial complex, then apparently i know texas better than you do
[10:01:30] <crutchy> texas is a fan of the military, but that is different
[10:01:43] <SirFinkus> it's a very vocal minority
[10:02:17] <crutchy> maybe, but it will be interesting to follow regardless
[10:03:24] <crutchy> its certainly drawing a lot of attention, and when the media makes this much effort to denouce something it usually raises suspicions in its own right
[10:03:47] <SirFinkus> if it was a real thing, the media wouldn't even be covering it
[10:04:37] <SirFinkus> and the conspiracy itself makes no sense, nobody is going to buy a takeover of texas, texas needs to "do" something first
[10:04:59] <crutchy> if the conspiracy made no sense, the media wouldn't be covering it
[10:05:07] <crutchy> it wouldn't even be a story
[10:05:49] <crutchy> why is the media covering it?
[10:05:52] <SirFinkus> the media covers tons of shit that doesn't make sense, a take over of texas by the military is just the kind of drama they love
[10:06:16] <SirFinkus> these are the same people who speculate about lost airliners being sucked in to black holes
[10:06:28] <SirFinkus> it's dramatic, and fits a classic narrative
[10:06:34] <crutchy> i don't know anything about that, but i guess
[10:07:43] <SirFinkus> the media in the US (and elsewhere too) has little concern for things like facts, all they want is drama and suspense
[10:07:51] <crutchy> the military might just find that texas does indeed become 'hostile territory' if they keep up the 'classified' bs
[10:08:31] <chromas> I liked when the one (was it cnn?) interrupted talk about the NSA to cover a celebrity car crash
[10:08:31] <SirFinkus> extremely unlikely
[10:08:37] <crutchy> if they can't be open and honest about what they're doing, people are gunna get pissed off
[10:08:42] <crutchy> people with guns
[10:08:51] <crutchy> and lots of em
[10:09:35] <crutchy> maybe nothing will happen, but maybe someone's trigger finger will slip
[10:10:17] <SirFinkus> then he's a "nut" and there's a whole media circus about the manifesto, and the standoff, and all that bullshit
[10:10:45] <crutchy> what if that "nut" is part of the military?
[10:11:36] <crutchy> i like how you immediately assumed the slip would be by a civilian
[10:11:45] <SirFinkus> he'll still be a "rogue nut"
[10:12:11] <SirFinkus> it doesn't really matter which side he's on
[10:12:55] <chromas> I bet if that happened fox news anchors would burst their pants
[10:13:24] <SirFinkus> if there's some kind of massacre at a protest or something it still won't be anything because everyone still has their mcdonalds and american idol and it won't really affect them
[10:13:27] <chromas> "obama's comin' for us! hide yo' kids, hide yo' asshole"
[10:14:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee++
[10:14:30] <Bender> karma - coffee: 1358
[10:15:14] <crutchy> i don't care much for obama. he's just another lying douchebag like bush
[10:16:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ;socialist crutchy
[10:16:10] <MrPlow> crutchy, you're a socialist!

[10:31:21] <crutchy> being a fellow libertarian, what do you think of the whole 'jade helm' shit?
[10:32:01] <crutchy> i'm just reading about it today. apparently its causing a bit of a stink
[10:37:49] <crutchy> "In lay terms, the military is teaching soldiers to apply the soft sciences of sociology and anthropology to understand distinct groups of people — their values, beliefs, behaviors — and thus prevent and win conflicts in hostile territories across the globe."
[10:37:56] <crutchy> wtf?
[10:38:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> whas jade helm?
[10:38:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh
[10:39:03] <crutchy> some military training exercise thingy
[10:39:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> military is for killing people, politicians is for making nice with them.
[10:39:55] <crutchy> but it seems to have a few texans spooked into believing its martial law
[10:40:25] <crutchy> http://www.thedenverchannel.com
[10:40:27] <dogpipe> ^ 03Colorado dropped from multi-state Jade Helm 15 special forces exercise - 7NEWS Denver TheDenverChannel.com
[10:40:39] <crutchy> whatever it is apparently colorado didn't like it much either
[10:40:59] <crutchy> "The Army says Colorado has been dropped from a multi-state special forces training exercise because the unit that was designated to participate won't be available."
[10:41:04] <crutchy> lol
[10:41:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh you mean the training exercises on us soil about how to institute martial law. only training in areas of heavy dissatisfaction with the government?
[10:41:19] <crutchy> that's what it seems like
[10:41:31] <crutchy> the pentagon isn't doing much to quell fears
[10:41:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that's totally innocent
[10:43:03] <crutchy> i doubt it is anything much, but if i lived in texas and i saw the photos of hundreds of APC's rolling in on trains i would prolly be shitting my pants
[10:43:46] * SirFinkus sees that once a month
[10:43:54] <crutchy> http://allnewspipeline.com
[10:43:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> it isn't anything but training but it's training in the exact areas they'd most need to pacify if martial law were instituted.
[10:44:15] <crutchy> http://i.ytimg.com
[10:44:29] <crutchy> dunno if these photos are legit, but if they are then WTF?
[10:45:12] <SirFinkus> again, I see that shit all the time
[10:45:17] <SirFinkus> see them driving down the road
[10:45:20] <crutchy> SirFinkus, if that's becoming normal in the US, then that's fucked up too
[10:45:28] <crutchy> that's not a good thing dude
[10:45:48] <SirFinkus> never said it was a good thing, just that the jade helm thing isn't anything special
[10:46:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> driving a convoy down the road is one thing. things gotta get places even if they're painted cammo. mass armor movements is different.
[10:48:37] <crutchy> your country is scary
[10:48:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> good
[10:49:06] <chromas> were those low-res photos taken by concerned citizens with their cellphones?
[10:49:09] <crutchy> hehe. i meant from the point of view of living there
[10:49:45] <crutchy> i'm less afraid of america as a foreigner cos as long as i don't live in an oil rich country i'm fine
[10:49:57] <SirFinkus> given how much we waste on "defense" it's natural that these are common sights
[10:49:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, ya. thas fine though. we have more guns in the us held by private citizens than any army on the planet has.
[10:50:30] <chromas> crutchy: just wait until you guys piss off israel
[10:50:56] <crutchy> but thats scary too, cos it make it seem like your closer to violent revolution
[10:51:05] <crutchy> haha yeah... israel
[10:51:27] <crutchy> i don't think anyone here really cares much about israel. except the christians and catholics or whatever
[10:51:48] <crutchy> prolly a minority here
[10:51:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> crutchy, we're always close to violent revolution. we was born that way and we mean to continue that way every time necessary.
[10:52:07] <crutchy> hence scary
[10:52:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[10:52:21] * chromas toses crutchy a barrel o' shotties
[10:52:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> but free, every now and then
[10:52:47] <SirFinkus> shotguns? you'll need rifles for a revolution
[10:52:56] * crutchy shudders to think what kind of weapons would be used in a new revolutionary war
[10:53:15] <crutchy> biological and chemical weapons come to mind
[10:53:21] <chromas> oh yeah, texas just had hail the other night
[10:53:36] <chromas> broken car windows. that's their weapon
[10:53:47] <SirFinkus> no, that was the reptilians
[10:53:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> possible but that'd turn an armed group of nuts into a national movement overnight
[10:54:43] <crutchy> florida is crawling with reptilians. and alligators

[10:56:24] * crutchy must google that
[10:56:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> yall see bout the tigernados they had out in OK the other day?
[10:56:42] <SirFinkus> but really, the next american revolutionary war will be fought with anthrax, ham radio, and liquor
[10:57:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> so different than the first in that there's radio and someone sides the cows are getting the anthrax

[10:58:55] <crutchy> actually the nastiest part of modern warfare nowadays seems to be IEDs

[23:16:54] <JamesNZ> ~gday BadCoderFinger
[23:16:55] * exec prematurely postulates a used franger of glowballs towards BadCoderFinger
[23:19:07] <BadCoderFinger> Hey JamesNZ (One of the few people using capitals in the nick!)
[23:19:42] * JamesNZ sees plenty others using capitals :P
[23:20:27] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, it's not cool anymore. Sigh.
[23:21:22] <BadCoderFinger> Someday I'll regain my coolness.
[23:21:29] <JamesNZ> Heh.
[23:25:52] <BadCoderFinger> How are things on your side of the globe?
[23:26:53] <JamesNZ> Bright and sunny, with Java poison everywhere :) How's your side?
[23:26:56] <JamesNZ> java--
[23:26:56] <Bender> karma - java: -28
[23:27:06] <JamesNZ> java-- # It doesn't even have default parameters!
[23:27:06] <Bender> karma - java: -29
[23:27:25] <BadCoderFinger> Oh man, I couldn't agree more about java.

[23:27:58] <BadCoderFinger> My side kinda bites. 6 inches of snow last night. Melting today, though, so tomorrow should be fine.
[23:28:13] <BadCoderFinger> Rather late in the season for snow.
[23:28:26] * JamesNZ envisions snowball fights!
[23:28:57] <BadCoderFinger> I played. The street lost!
[23:29:13] <JamesNZ> Hah.
