WWII as told by game chat.

TOO FUNNY!!

Medals medals medals!!!

Olympics are behind us, my country just went away with a silver and a bronze so we don't get to discuss much how we should be counting medals to make it into the top 10.
US gets to do so, thus leading to some articles, pictures, (That ABC is Australian, mate) but the best one so far, is a complete breakdown by the BBC into 5 different tables for the top 10 countries in the Olympics.

So how do we get our countries in the list?

I know, I know.
Australia is there in several lists >.>

w00t. Silver for us at the olymics :D

Colombia got his first Olympic medal thanks to Diego Salazar in weightlifting.
Seems we are the best so far on medals in South America :P

Finally

well not really, don't see things changing, but this interesting article on digg

Though truth be told... I didn't finish reading it :P

gotta love these part

"The rational way to understand this is that ordinary, oppressed Americans are in a deep psychological state of self-delusion. Despite all the empirical, objective evidence of a failed government, they fail to see rebellion opportunities. Many still believe they live in the world’s best democracy."

"Why is there insufficient pain for revolution? This is a deadly serious issue. What is historically unique about America is that even the most oppressed and unfairly treated people are distracted by affordable materialism, entertainment, sports, gambling, and myriad other aspects of our frivolous, self-absorbed culture. Even failed school and health care systems do not drive people, paying enormous sums to fill up their SUVs, to rebellion. So, Americans are aware of their oppression, but the power elites have successfully drugged them with a plethora of pleasure-producing distractions sufficient to keep them under control."

Change from gaming to serious news

I learned about this website on my new favorite website... digg.

Now we all knew not to generalize the action of Israel as those of the Jewish community, but what I find fascinating is that, as I would gather it, this are Jewish people against not only the actions of war, but the actual state of Israel, good for me cause how the state was formed, its questionable.
