Rude Pundit on Bolton

seti: "Bolton is a lying sack of shit, a scumbag whose career has been made comforting politically powerful conservatives, a provocateur whose ego knows no bounds, an asshole beyond any human's reasonable comprehension of assholishness. And, of course, that means he is the perfect man to represent George Bush's United States at the U.N."
seti: Pwnage

Marijuana Water Pipe and Vaporizer Study

^matthew: The surprising conclusion: you should be smoking a joint instead of a bong or vaporizer.
simmo: "does not rule out the possibility that waterpipes could have other benefits, such as filtering out gases"
simmo: "cannabinoids produced by the electric hotplate vaporizer were unusually high in CBN, leaving 30% less THC as a percentage of the total cannabinoids .. CBN is not psychoactive like THC"
simmo: they do not appear to have tested bucket bongs
simmo: study did not examine potential effect of hot smoke in increasing absorption of THC and/or toxins in the airways
simmo: "waterpipes might still turn out to have net health benefits"

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_study_group_reports_on_China

simmo: see also Media control in China: economic modernization has allowed the government to camouflage its pervasive control under the glossy façade of consumerism, with a shift from ham-fisted censorship to an elaborate architecture of Party supervision, amorphous legislation, stringent licensing mechanisms, handpicked personnel and concentrated media ownership. Sound familiar?
simmo: cf Queensland Australia, 197x - 1985
simmo: erm ..better resource .. hard to find good info on Qld censorship techniques of the 70s and 80s, but see the Media control in China doc for info
simmo: btw, half of the people on that list now 0wn YOUR media
simmo: oops .. no some people on that list now own half your media :\ is that the same?
simmo: this is a good article on the joh era of qld
simmo: by the guy who blew the lid there
simmo:
simmo: history of queensland including some description of its own totalitarian measures
simmo: train of thought rather than relevence: some deeper queensland history

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Childhood_exposure_to_TV_linked_to_bullying

simmo: watching 3.5 hours of TV a day were 25% more likely to bully, while those watching 8 hours or more were 200% more likely
simmo: surely it's not the act of watching the television in iteself that prompts the bullying .. perhaps something to do with the content?
simmo: or that socially excluded bullies end up watching the tube
simmo: or socially excluded children watch tv and bully
simmo: last seems to be conclusion
simmo: erm. last plus first
