War Room Lounge v131: A web novella

It isn't an ideological thing, man. Countries that are entirely left-leaning show under-reporting as well. There are lots of factors that contribute to that.

My example was perhaps poor , it was just one example of a situation of under reporting , certainly not the only one.

Heard an interesting definition of fascism the other day:
When an empire in decline applies colonial tactics domestically.


I’m probably going to start thread this weekend to gauge how much longer people think this country has before going tits up.

250 years but within the next fifty we'll be drastically changing our government much like Rome did between the the republic and the empire. Again like Rome the founding population has dwindled both in blood and spirit.

@Deffid I don't know about you, but isn't it crazy that the two sports I follow, specifically the two leagues I follow (Bundesliga and UFC) are also the only ones already doing their jobs again?

From your point of view that is certainly fun and crazy at the same time. I have watched more UFC events in the last few weeks than in the last three or more year combined, seems like not much has changed. Dana is still a massive douche, fighters still fake retire (especially Conor), lots of them are still try hards, refs and judges are still shaky...except for some of the thin cards, I really enjoyed it though. Might watch a little more in the future.

As a sports nerd it is pretty awesome that summer will be filled with sports to watch, while usually this is the time nothing is going on (except if there is a Euro or World Cup).

I don't consider myself a big Dickinson "fan," but she wrote a LOT of poems.

Everyone once in a while I come across one I hadn't read before and think, shit, that's good.



She Rose to His Requirement - Dropt
The Playthings of Her Life
To take the honorable Work
Of Woman, and of Wife -

If aught She missed in Her New Day,
Of Amplitude, or Awe -
Or first Prospective - Or the Gold
In using, wear away,

It lay unmentioned- As the Sea
Develope Pearl, and Weed,
But only to Himself - be known
The Fathoms they abide-

Does she dislike asian men?

Kinda funny because it was the inclusive nature of the roman empire that allowed it to spread. The empire created the emperors, and the primary method of spread was that the local populations had something to gain by calling themselves romans. Eventually, the most competent leadership wasn't exactly roman from rome, and when those were blocked from becoming emperor they decided to sack rome instead.

Oh and they were all a bunch of lead eating waterheads, that might have had something to do with it.

I don’t think so, her poem dear John is hilarious and like the first dear John break up/ friend zone letter.

 

[Sara]

Sketch you might like her poem the goblin market it’s pretty long though, I mean not paradise lost long, but it’s not a haiku or sonnet.

Meek Mill dropped some great shit a few days ago. Sampling Trump's "What Do You Have to Lose" was a nice touch lol.

I take it he's never had a Schwarma

I wanted one so bad yesterday but everything's closed and boarded up because of this fucking tropical storm.

I like "A Better Resurrection."

It’s all right, I had to write a paper on her for one of my English classes (ok, I chose her work from a list of Victorian ere authors) I can remember thinking why haven’t I heard of her before?
