Dude this old place came to my mind for some reason I hadn't thought about it for years, and I suddenly remember my account name and password which was surprising.
Anyway, go back to sleep days of yore.

As far as the video tells, hes not arrested, hes receiving medical help.

So yeah, hes not arrested tho your title is invalid and misleading.

Lol, well anyways I changed it to "detained."

Still though, aren't those who donated to invisible children happy that it's a fraud and the co-founder acts like this?  Cause you know, he acts so responsible over his actions.

Ah yes, another Ad Hominem. I'm highly critical towards Invisible Children (one of the critical aspects of this organisation is that one of the co founders expressed during a sort of "QA" that the organisations is, in a stealthy way "Evangelizing people into loving Christ".), just because a co-founder acted this way, does not may the entire organisation invalid. Therefore, this is a Ad Hominem.

"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to negate the truth of a claim by pointing out a negative characteristic or belief of the person supporting it. Ad hominem reasoning is normally described as a logical fallacy."

"“Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition. He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better.

It seems as if this mental breakdown was caused by some health problems. Doing something this bizarre is likely due to some psychological disability, and as the article said "exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition.".

"He was no problem for the police department however, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him," said an SDPD spokesperson. "We determined that medical treatment was a better course of action than arrest."

So this was mostly likely caused by a very serious mental condition (and perhaps also physical condition), I'm not judging the organisation nor him for this acting, just another case of "Mental Breakdown".

An interesting article on North Korea by the late Christopher Hitchens.

A Nation of Racist Dwarfs

Also, this video is very entertaining, a great example of Hitchens wit.

I'm not asking for anything, but I know that I'll be receiving money, I really need it for my future Cuba trip. Perhaps I'll get a book by Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens, you never know.

Social Discussion / Re: Things that piss you off (IRL)
« on: December 14, 2011, 02:18:10 PM »
Before you guys have an all out war, this argument ends here. Juggernaut and Darthkatzs, please take it to steam or PM's.

Omg, I was just replying to what he said. Don't I have the right to reply to things people say about me anymore?
I'm going to say it, I don't care what happens to me, but you crossed the line for me, it wasn't even a real argument: You are incompetent.

Lets get back on topic.
Other things that piss me off are people not moving when you walk on the street. I move for everyone so I reserve the right of not moving once, but when I do it they get pissed at me...

That's because you shouldn't expect the same from everyone, you Americans seem to think that if one person isn't going to do something for me, then why should I do it at all. It's all about generosity, selflessness and a charity nature, for once do something that you don't expect anything in return.

I'm from Belgium and unlike the US, most people here aren't ignorant. The issue is that since I was little I've been tought to move for peopoe and I always have. I believe that me beaing an adult now reserves me tha right for once to be able to move trough a street in one line.
Don't tell me what I am. I always say hello to people, I help elderly when they are having issues like getting on the train. I bring people back their bank cards when they accidentally leave them in the machine. I even tip hard working people generously. Don't tell me I'm an asshole to people on the street while you don't know me at all.

Similar problems always arise for me as well. Here in Sweden, the culture is extremely shy, people never engage in conversation except with people they really know. People never seem to express their opinions (if they even them), people struggle to be the first in line in stores, people honk the horn when you cross the street at green light because they want to pass before you (in Sweden, when a driver wants to turn in a direction that has a crosswalk, they can pass it whilst the light is Green, perhaps you have this also in Belgium.). There is not warmth in this city, nor in this country (people has claimed the same things that I've claimed about this city, and they were from different regions.)

I try to let people do their deeds before me, I let them enter the buss, I hold the door open when someone's behind me, but people never do the same.

One of the most EXTREME things that pisses me of daily, is when people at my school, smoke cigarettes on school property, outside the ventilation system, and the smoke, and the horrific smell goes directly into our classrooms, because the ventilation system is right next to the exit. They don't give a shit about their comrades, even when you tell them to just go 10 meters so the smoke don't enter the vents, but no, they don't care. Some disciplin is in great need.

You should get fat again you looked more like a boss.  ;D

I still am the BOSS! But that picture was quite neutral.

These pictures are from last week when I drank some Venezuelan Rum, Baileys, smoked a cigarillo, ate some Brazilian Nut Toffee and ate some Wasabi Nuts.

General Discussion / Re: Carl Sagan
« on: September 24, 2011, 05:26:34 PM »
I am also a big fan of Carl Sagan, I love the Cosmos series too. He must be one of the most coziest people ever. I just made this yesterday: http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/318954_10150327740339063_727279062_8016783_1302454225_n.jpg

I also drew a sketch of Carl and hung it up on my wall with his quote: It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. I have not seen the entire Cosmos series, but I have seen bits of it and some episodes.

I also like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens; Two of my favorite people in the world. I've read the controversial book by Hitchens "God is not great: How religion poisons everything" and I am currently reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I love the style Hitchens uses when he "Hitchslaps" his religious opponents. Just look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6P1NQ7PkG4&feature=related
or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyYwo7X4zck or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G15-egwL10&feature=related OR THIS!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGEh-fQS9Sk&feature=related and the list goes on with Hitchslaps. But Dawkins is a really loveable person, the passion he has for biology is very fascinating.

General Discussion / Re: Have you seen the new 2 and a Half men intro?!
« on: September 13, 2011, 03:08:05 PM »
This show has never been funny. A pathetic man moves into his alcoholic brother and brings his really stupid son with him. The ex wife whips the pathetic man and he just enjoys it cause he loves being fucked by her strap on. I mean, C'mon? How can people enjoy something this mind numbing? Charlie Harper just drinks and sometimes they make jokes about his drinking, like "I'm so drunk and alone... I need more alcohol" or "Did you tell the new maid to turn me on my side so I won't shoke on my vomit?" Okay.... Shows like It's always sunny in philadelphia has clever and outrageous humor, that is what I like (Or the old Family Guy episodes.)

How's that Cigar btw?
 ;)

It tasted delicious like every other Cuban cigar.  ;D

Too bad your going to die of throat cancer before your 40.

First off, what a nasty comment. No, I do not smoke them regularly, I smoke like one each 2 months so my health wont get affected in the way someone smoking all the time would and second, http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-09/cuba-releases-worlds-first-lung-cancer-vaccine  (I know it's not for throat cancer, but I just had to sneak it into this post.)   :P

Enjoy life with some Cuban Rum and a Cohiba! Viva Cuba!
