I'm wary of turks.

Wonder what kind of conversations were made behind closed doors, hmm?  I'm sure Apple had nothing to do with it.

Also, with regards to Syria.  I wouldn't be so quick to declare Assad the victor.  I know Libya was a very different situation, but that war changed momentum 3 or 4 times.  And the end came quickly.

First it was the protests.  Then the violent crackdown.
Then the rebels took over Benghazi.
Then we bombed them right before they took back the city.
Then the rebels pushed back. 
Then the rebels lost ground.
They pushed back again.
A stalemate happens.
Then out of nowhere Tripoli falls after the rebels infiltrated the city.

Misrata itself switched sides like dozens of times.  Finding out what the hell was going on was confusing as fuck, for anyone trying to read American media.

I dont think the rebels in Syria will be as successful, but all it takes is one well placed car bomb or a sniper to take out the dictator.  Then what happens after that?

Dude what are you on about? Libya is completely different from Syria. NATO was backing the rebels. If they were not I'm certain they wouldn't succeed. Libya didn't even have a proper military. It was practically non-existent. They relied heavily on the West for protection and didn't expect to be thrown under the bus. You know how difficult it is to impose a no-fly zone over Syria?

The only way this changes is if they start arming these rebels directly or if NATO(US) gets involved. There are a list of reasons why Europe and America will not take the aforementioned routes. I would be surprised if they give the rebels any weapons. Assad might have to hand over his power to the Vice President while he runs the show in the background if he wants to end it soon. Similar to what they did in Yemen with Saleh.

1. what's going on turkey

2. why does there seem to be absolutely no attention being paid to it?

They were probably waiting for it to get traction.

Is anyone else still wondering about the 'chemical' weapons Turkish state media reported on?

I'm still puzzled. I saw it on their website for some time and then RT reported on it. Turkish police later denied they had confiscated sarin gas. Even if the initial claims were fallible most news sources would report on it, at the very least. Especially with all the attention focused on Syria and the use of chemical weapons I still can't find nothing on AJE, BBC, CNN, etc.

Fox put out a small article through the AP refuting the claims: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/05/31 … as-seized/

can you please post a non-bbc link as i don't trust a thing that kiddie fiddlers say.

we already have to give DNA swabs/fingerprints on arrest. they don't need a specific warrant afaik.

it's the centenary of this woman. a famous early grad from my uni that gave it its reputation for posh birds with fierce vaginas. (i.e. a centre for early women's education and suffrage).

Yes, if the violence is against aristocrats and pro basic human rights.

Anyone remember this from The Onion?

Even though it's a joke product, it still makes me wonder what kind of prophetic satirists they have working at The Onion.

I post black racism images, i get banned.

You've got decades of hipsterism to blame for that.

There's a bit of difference between blacks posting pics on the interwebs and jews carrying out a pogrom yes?

Although curiously the jews began the Palestinian pogrom before WW2.

yes because one of the most famous videos of all time with regards to women's rights in britain, the visual icon of the struggle for suffrage, is the same as some idiot posting car-crash and gore-porn footage and wanting people to laugh at it/find it amusing.

would you class someone posting 9/11 footage as "gore porn"? no? why's that? oh yeah, because it has an informational point and a wider historical significance. what's the significance of posting a 2000x2000 pixel HD picture of a smashed-in MMA fighter's face? what's the significance of CCTV footage of a guy getting ploughed down by a bus? none. it's just there as gratuitous violence. part of the internet culture of shock and gore. liveleak video-feeds and /r/cringe level bullshit.

but okay. you can't tell the difference. i see. did you take your autism meds today? quick, whilst you're feeling a little funny go to that thread and tell me how wonky tf2 is again as well.

I just wanted to know where you stood. The guy in the gif you complained about didn't die. She did, and of course so did people in the 9/11 footage. I'm sure you realize that "context" is of very little importance when it comes to NSFW images. By extension, when you call something tasteless "gore porn" that you'd rather not see, you shouldn't make exceptions for material that depicts actually fatal blows/injuries just because they're in context.

Autism, huh? That's so played out. Don't be a nincompoop.
