Gee, a small group, formed out of highly intense feelings, imploded. I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you! :rolleyes:

This happens all the time. Hell, it almost happened to our canton, at least twice that I know of. Small groups can become easily divided, especially over small stuff that you wouldn't think would be important.

Penniless hippies. They spend their spare time teaching lions to eat tofu.

That's just stupid. Who wants to see a lion eat tofu? I'd much rather see them train tofu to eat lions. Also where do peniless hippies get the cash for lions and tofu?

Y'know... no, I'm not even going to bother feeding the troll. Have fun under the bridge.

If they could do that, I'd pay to see it - then they wouldn't be penniless. Still hippies though.

Break them out zoos, and stuff. Tofu zoos. Y'know... the ones in... Italy?

...

Quelle surprise...

It's not like small, vaguely revolutionary groups can fall apart easily over completely minor points or anything, is it?

Oh no... wait... it is.

The most pitifully minor things can cause rifts. See the various communist parties of Britain in the seventies - The Popular British Communist Party, the British Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), the British Communist Party (Trotskyist Revolutionary), the People's Communist Party of Britain, The Popular People's Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) etc. etc.

All really had the same view on what would help society. But due to minor differences on the interpretation of what is communist "best practise", the original British Communist Party split into a vast plethora of groups (see The Life of Brian for a piss-take).

Bin Laden supported the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. Does that make bin Laden pro-west?

No, Saddam was pro-west. At least until the West decided to fuck him over for trying to liberate Kuwait.

Considering its a bit like an argument over church/charity fundraising, no. If people wondering where money went amuses you, what you want is this....

At the end of the Iraq war, vast sums of money were made available to the US-led provisional authorities, headed by Paul Bremer, to spend on rebuilding the country. By the time Bremer left the post eight months later, $8.8bn of that money had disappeared. Ed Harriman on the extraordinary scandal of Iraq's missing billions

Well, the idea was that if being against the overthrow of the war and Saddam makes you anti west, what would that make someone like bin Laden, who also supported overthrowing Saddam?

Or did Jolt delete any logic I had along with my last forum account?

Wanting to overthrow a secular, modern leader makes you anti west. Therefore Bin Laden and George W. Bush are anti west. That's all I was saying.

About that... What about the kids in the cars that drive over the bridge? They could jump through the pavement and the cars and molest them.

No, he wasn't. He wasn't really either pro- or anti- anyone, since he got along with both the Soviets and the West (although far more of his armaments came from the former), and had an officially non-aligned foreign policy.

I guess the state figures that at those speeds, the kids will be sufficiently safe. Of course, this is south Florida, and some of the traffic jams we get down here are epic, so who knows?

I knew the Russians were selling huge ass slingshots and normal sized slings.


Cookie for whoever recognizes this. It is true.
