  1. It is a forum, not a kindergarten.
  2. Yet another question not related to this topic!
  3. Exporting thrash(talk) to Canada!?
  4. Cut and paste.
  5. I'm just pasting.
  6. We want answers not questions.
  7. If Bush is a monster it's because he doesn't care about cleaning his image and bad reputation. He will remain hidden until his death but he should have hid himself from any public office since his inception.
  8. The term "the law" signifies the principles upon which society is based, designating a mode of collective conduct based upon a set of prohibitions. However, the rule of the law conceals an inherent unruliness which is precisely the violence by which it established itself as law in the first place. "At the beginning" of the law, there is a certain "outlaw", a violence which coincides with the act itself of the establishment of the reign of the law... The illegitimate violence by which law sustains itself must be concealed at any price, because this concealment is the positive condition of the functioning of the law. The authority of the law stems not from some concept of justice, but because it is the law. Which is to say that the origin of the law can be found in the tautology: "the law is the law". If the law is to function properly, however, we must experience it as just. It is only when the law breaks down, when it becomes a law unto itself, and it reaches the limits of itself, do we glimpse those limits and acknowledge its contingency by reference to the phrase "the law is the law". In other words: The Law (makers) cannot and should not question itself. Forget about wishing more laws because laws have necessarily an obscene side to them. http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro1.htm
  9. One doesn't understand politics as long as s/he doesn't act AS IF any event was a conspiracy. Power is not something human can give up, it is something that can only be grab. In other words, politically-savvy people don't wait or search for the facts, they are making them.
  10. A cynic (Bush) who is attacking other cynics doesn't deserve or need to be called a monster.
  11. Should we deport immigrants who support terrorism? No, instead we should pay attention to any human who cannot imagine himself/herself becoming a potential terrorist.
  12. Only when nothing can possibly hide itself behind a head of state will political power be well used.
  13. To persuade the monarchs of the dying feudalist era not to wage more wasteful wars against the upcoming bourgeoisie.
  14. The way power is currently misused is more like: people like Cheney (neo-cons.) needed Bush only to maximize patriotism.
  15. Natural rights have been accepted by liberal Europeans for a reason.
  16. Simulating openness has become too classic a war tactic.
  17. If it was lawful for Europeans to expropriate the savages then the law has an obscene secret side attached to it.
  18. The only persons who have the technical skills and qualifications to kill in the egg any conspiracy-like event are psychoanalysts.
  19. In terms of historical (commercial and military) significance, no strait will ever comes close to the Istanbul strait.
  20. Also never underestimate the power of nightmares to contravene the laws of physics. http://www.wanttoknow.info/powerofnightmares
