16:00.22leviGrr, I need to stop letting the stupid political rants of others make me angry.
16:07.47^Migs^one of my coworkers almost got into a fistfight here with our supervisor over Obama's upcoming speech to the students
16:08.03^Migs^lots of parents don't want it shown to their students
16:08.32goozbachpeople need too chill the F out
16:08.50goozbachon both sides
16:09.20^Migs^holy crap
16:09.25^Migs^I'm getting swarmed with emails about this now
16:09.44^Migs^All Obama is going to be talking about is (a) staying in school, and (b) working hard
16:10.07goozbachany debheads in the room?
16:10.12^Migs^And our official position as a public school district is that the President has the right to share a message with our students
16:10.22^Migs^they don't have to listen, and they're free to go do something else if they want, but we have to share it.

17:01.58{-}levi: Admit it, you want to bite Jayce^'s finger off.
17:02.14Jayce^lol
17:02.18stderrJayce^: anyone who thinks Obama is a secret socialist spy trained by Islamic terrorists is an idiot.
17:02.24stderrI don't think that's arguable.
17:03.26leviRight, I disagree with Jayce^ on a lot of things, but his positions are not outright stupid.
17:03.38stderrhe can get a little wacky.
17:03.43Jayce^awwww, never though you liked me *that* much levi :)
17:03.47stderrbut he's fairly reasonable most of the time.
17:04.44Jayce^I think my biggest problem with the aforementioned broadcast is a) the teachers union's memos, which can be benign at heart, but have already caused some serious nutjob's togo too far..
17:05.12Jayce^and it in relation to some of his current 'special advisors' comments on 'usage of education'
17:05.50stderrgive me reference to the stuff you're putting pithy quotes around.
17:06.05leviSerious nutjobs don't need much provocation to go too far.
17:06.28Jayce^there was a recent video of the "pledge to obama" one school was doing.. quite classy I'd say
17:06.32Jayce^levi: agreed
17:07.01stderr"pledge to obama"?  what type of school?  where?  what was the context?
17:07.18stderrand: so what?  whackjobs are everywhere.  Obama had nothing to do with it.

17:08.34Jayce^stderr: that was "their implementation" of the unions suggestions... which is what I mentioned when I started my point stderr ...  it wasn't him, it was what folks out there were doing about it
17:09.21stderrJayce^: "I pledge..." then they pledge stuff.

17:10.07Jayce^there are some really lame ones in there
17:10.18blendmaster1024may i have the context?
17:10.19{-}Actually he's referring to the last couple of sentences. "I pledge allegiance to Obama and to the people..." or some such.
17:10.29stderroh noes.
17:10.36stderrmakes a dirty gesture
17:10.36{-}There are several pretty stupid points in the video.
17:10.46blendmaster1024what video?
17:10.48blendmaster1024link?
17:10.49stderrit was made by Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, of course there are.

17:10.58stderrpeople are actually throwing a hissy fit over this?
17:11.02stderrDear baby Jesus.

17:11.58unumstderr: the principle was forced to send home apologies
17:12.24unumI found a counter response to that video and posted it on face book
17:12.32unumand tried to come up with some she missed.....
17:12.42unumI pledge to carry my gun with me everywhere I go
17:13.04unumI pledge to continue to talk like the founding father agreed with me on every issue
17:13.10stderrI pledge to punch an idiotic redneck monthly

17:13.26unumI pledge to be greedy and work only for myself and my family because THAT is what makes America great

17:14.28unumlevi: true
17:14.40neybarstderr: wasn't trying to start a bigger gun pissing contest.  Just making with the funny.  calm down.
17:15.17stderrwell you make the assumption that I'm some panty waste liberal who's going to be shot if I go over to Jayce^'s house.
17:15.59stderrwhich is amusing, to say the least.
17:16.28stderranyway I'm totally down for friendly sparring.
17:16.43goozbachfirst trick to getting to jayce's house is to avoid the bear traps and hidden covered tiger pits
17:17.02neybarnot to mention the abandoned cars on blocks
17:17.07goozbachsecond step is to walk the proper path to avoid setting off the automatic defense turrets
17:17.26goozbachneybar: *THATS RIGHT* he did just get a new truck
17:17.32leviIt looks to me like a bunch of celebrities pledging to do things *they* think are helpful to their community and country, and the point of the video is to ask people what *they* are willing to pledge to do to help the community and country.  Yeah, some of the examples were a bit nutty, but these are a bunch of celebrities, who are not really known for being level-headed.
17:17.35Jayce^ooh, new FEMA head finally has a clue!
17:17.37Jayce^"the more the federal government does in routine emergencies, the greater the odds of catastrophic failure in a big disaster. "
17:18.13stderrFugate?  He's a smart man.
17:18.19Jayce^yup
17:19.08Jayce^wonder how long he'll last though
17:19.26stderrWhy?  He's experienced at this sort of stuff, he certainly isn't any Brownie.
17:19.50stderrHe led Florida through two straight years of the worst hurricane emergencies they've ever had
17:19.56leviI'd much rather have kids see that 'pledge' video at school than a bunch of soda and junk food advertisements.
17:20.07leviBut I can see why Obama haters would hate it.
17:20.13Jayce^he's intentions go very much against the organization
17:20.58{-}I think FEMA has effectively demonstrated that without a firm leader, they wouldn't be able to organize the egging of his house let alone a coup.
17:21.15rsimpkinsWhat is a 'routine emergency' any way?
17:21.37stderrrsimpkins: the fires in LA.
17:22.28rsimpkinsI'll never get it.
17:22.40Jayce^even with a firm leader, they shouldn't be expected, depended on, or any else
17:23.07rsimpkinsAn emergency is an emergency. Unless you're running triage because you have multiple emergencies of various sizes, they are all pretty freaking important.
17:23.23stderrrsimpkins: there are certainly levels of emergency. That's nonsense.
17:23.43rsimpkinsstderr: I am not disagreeing with you.
17:23.50stderrSome emergencies will overwhelm local authorities, which is why we have FEMA
17:23.53Jayce^btw, anybody see pics of that new super-tanker 747 dropping in LA?
17:24.03stderrJayce^: yea, saw it on the news today
17:24.07Jayce^20k gallons of retardant, pressurized
17:24.09rsimpkinsJayce^: links?
17:24.18stderryea, I was like.. wait... IS THAT A 747?!
17:24.20Jayce^stderr: very cool (catching up after being offline all yesterday)
17:24.38stderrbah, I have to get back to work.  This is an interesting conversation though and I shall be back during lunch.
17:25.21Jayce^rsimpkins: http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/09/evergreen-supertanker/
17:25.40Jayce^yeah, I'm supposedly working on 3 different fires right now, really should have IRC off again :)
17:25.56{-}Not all emergencies are created equal. The new FEMA head is trying to help people understand that citizens and local leaders should be more prepared to deal with the small stuff themselves, not wait for FEMA to fly supplies and people across the country.
17:26.29{-}A train derailment spilling toxic chemicals should not be a job for FEMA.
17:26.52{-}Yearly fires in California, Nevada, etc. should not be a job for FEMA.
17:26.57Jayce^FEMA should exist as most Federal agencies, simply a tool to help interstate agencies coordinate
17:27.18Jayce^not be a source of funding, manpower, or other assets than information

20:07.59{-}So... Basically Sobe is just super concentrated sugar water with a hint of fruit flavor, huh?
20:08.22goozbach{-}: you're supprised?
20:08.36{-}Actually, yes.
20:08.50goozbachanything you buy from a 7-11 is most likely not fruit juice.
20:08.57unumI thought it had a stimulant
20:09.03goozbachand that includes the fruit juices
20:09.09{-}For something that's supposed to energize the body and mind, I was expect a little more stimulant than plain old sugar.
20:09.11leviWell, Sobe does tend to have juice in it.
20:09.15leviBut so does Mountain Dew.
20:09.24goozbach{-}: try the "power" flavor
20:09.29goozbachit has guarana
20:10.02leviThe Sobe Energy flavor has caffeine, taurine, ginseng, and guarana.
20:10.30unumI think most of them have guarana
20:10.47leviThe first three ingredients are water, sugar, and orange juice concentrate.
20:11.24leviAnd it's got 32mg of caffeine per 8oz.
20:12.18leviWhich gives you about 80mg per bottle.
20:12.19unumhuh there's no gaurana in the carot elixer
20:12.23unumI thought there was
20:13.07unumit has the same first three ingredients
20:13.19unum9% juice
20:13.41unumdoes that mean it's more than 10% sugar?
20:14.11unum23 g per 8 oz serving, why do they mix units?

20:17.42*** join/#utah findlay (n=justin@unwired-44.guest.inscc.utah.edu)
20:17.45leviApparently the highest caffeine concentration in a SoBe drink is found in the SoBe No Fear and No Fear Gold, which has 10.88 mg/oz., which is between the concentration of instant and brewed coffee.

22:48.56stderrfacepalms
22:49.03elgi have her hidden
22:49.08^Migs^I don't think the parents understand.  We're kind of obligated, as a public school district, to share a message from our government leader.
22:49.18elgi only noticed it because the blackberry facebook app (which I sometimes flip through when I'm bored) ignores my hiding settings
22:49.21{-}levi: Nope. But I was disappointed by the stupidity of the people who produced it.
22:49.31^Migs^not just kind of.  We ARE obligated.  We're not obligated to force students to watch, though, so they can go and do whatever they want if they don't want to participate
22:50.09stderr"My Johnny never liked watermelon BEFORE!"
22:50.14^Migs^hahahahaha

22:52.10stderrlevi: haha.  ironic.
22:52.33stderrI'm come from a family of commies who're too busy to post things on Facebook, thank baby Jesus.
22:52.36leviTurned into a huge discussion where a couple of them made it clear that they had absolutely no respect for me (in pretty much those words) and that they considered me a horrible person.

22:55.37leviIt doesn't matter how convoluted the logic is, as long as someone makes a connection somehow.

22:56.12{-}socialism == communism == atheism == evil
22:56.18levistderr: About the time that a bunch of powerful communist nations were trying to take over the world, I think.
22:56.22stderralso the fact that Glenn Beck has ripped off the one founding father who had consistently socialist/radical ideas is pretty awesome.
22:56.30stderrcommunism != socialism.

22:57.19stderrHave any of these people actually read the f***ing bible, or what?
22:57.35levistderr: Depends on whose definitions you're using for socialism and communism.  They were part of the same continuum in Marx's head, anyway.
22:57.53stderrlevi: we already have numerous socialist policies in place.  We're not a communist nation.
22:57.58elgi wouldn't ascribe to malice that which can be explained by culture and never thinking deeply about what they're parroting
22:58.09{-}stderr: He was misquoted 2000 years ago. You can be sure that if he were here today, he'd be urging everyone to increase profit margins, not turn the other cheek.
22:58.20stderr{-}: or, uh, turn over the moneychanger's table
22:58.36levistderr: We're not a socialist nation either, despite those policies.
22:58.47stderrelg: I don't think it's malice.  But don't come at me as a christian when you're not one.
22:59.24stderrlevi: true enough.
22:59.26elgwell i think that gets complicated. is one a christian because one thinks one is, even if they're not a very good one? or are they only christian when they measure up to some ideal?
22:59.41stderrelg: I'm pretty sure Christ spelled that out, too.
23:00.16stderrand no you're not a christian just because you call yourself one, or quote the bible, or tithe money to your church, or go to church.
23:00.18{-}Following the teachings of Christ is not enough. It's not even part of the measure. You must belong to a Christian church.
23:00.34{-}Which is why Mormons aren't Christians.
23:00.38stderr{-}: when did Christ ever make that pronouncement?
23:00.44elgtouche. i guess i have no real answer to that. other than I think it's counterproductive to tell people they're not christian as a way to get them to act more christlike
23:01.00{-}stderr: He was killed by the socialists before he had a chance.
23:01.05neybarstderr: agreed, but how can you tell that elg isn't one?  Do you have some magic sensor in your irc client that divines this information?
23:01.08elgbecause then the fighting instinct kicks in
23:01.42stderrneybar: never said elg wasn't one.
23:01.56stderrI was talking in general.  Don't come at me as a christian if you're not Christ-like.
23:02.03neybar<stderr> elg: I don't think it's malice.  But don't come at me as a christian when you're not one.
23:02.23elgfwiw I took stderr the way he intended
23:02.54neybarstderr: sorry, I took that more literally than was intended.
23:03.11stderrneybar: see, I wish a Christian would say that about the Old Testament some time.
23:03.12stderr:P
23:03.13stderrI kid.
23:03.51stderrMostly I have a problem with people who interpret scripture literally when the whole point and expression of the Bible is quite obviously allegory.
23:04.10stderror people who're pro-life yet pro-death penalty.
23:04.17stderrLittle non-Christ-like problems like that.
23:05.04{-}The Bible contains both literal and allegorical content.
23:05.53stderrif you're Christ-like, you should be more than willing to pay more taxes to supply people with a higher quality of life.  The guy died for you.  The least you can do is give away the money he loathed so much.
23:05.53{-}"Thou shalt not kill" is pretty literal.
23:05.57stderroh don't get me started on the Ten Commandments.  
23:06.13{-}I wouldn't say the Christ loathed money. I also wouldn't say he was as radical some try to portray him.
23:06.20fungusDon't forget that the law of consecration is socialism
23:06.32neybarexcept that being taxed is against ones will.  There is no charity what so ever involved in that.  On the other hand if you of your own free will give to charity, volunteer etc then that is a measure of charity.
23:06.47stderr{-}: he seemed pretty damn radical the last time I read The New Testament.
23:06.55{-}The _love_ of money is the root of all evil, not money. Without money, there wouldn't be the widow's mite.
23:07.01fungushttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_consecration
23:07.12stderrneybar: but WHY is it against your will?
23:07.28{-}There is room for government "render unto Caesar" and "my kingdom is not of this world".
23:08.08leviTaxation isn't any more 'against your will' than tithing is, if you treat it with the same attitude.
23:08.21stderrexactly.
23:08.29{-}Christ didn't just go after the money changers as he cleansed the temple, he got rid of all merchants.
23:08.30elgi really don't like the argument about tax being stealing from the people
23:08.45elgwe as a society have to make some decisions, spend some money, etc. as a collective
23:08.49levielg: You must have fun conversations with Von. ;)
23:09.02stderrelg: I totally agree.
23:09.04elgof course not everyone is going to be in total agreement about what taxes should be or what they should be used for
23:09.21elgthat's why we have leaders we elect to figure this out, and we all agree to abide by whatever they decide
23:09.25{-}The money changer's tables were thrown over violently, great action scene, everyone focus on it. But he also got rid of the vendors selling sacrificial animals. He was just more gentle as he did it.
23:09.28stderrReally, if anything, if you're a Christian and protesting taxes, protest how the vast majority goes to defense spending.
23:09.42stderrdon't give me this crap about welfare and universal healthcare
23:09.47elglevi: fun is not the word I'd use, but yes.
23:10.08{-}Are you going to claim that Christ was also opposed to sacrifice because he turned out the vendors?
23:10.28leviFortunately, my brother doesn't seem particularly interested in politics, or in having conversations with me.
23:10.39*** join/#utah toofer (n=toofer@kjordan.securesites.net)
23:10.52neybarstderr: that is just the thing, with tax I can't say I support welfare, but not defense.  Or I support health care, but not social security.  It is indiscriminate, and frankly out of control.  Now I agree that there are some things that gov't does with taxes that are impossible to do at an individual or even community level.  
23:11.08stderr"out of control" ?
23:11.17stderrhave you looked at taxation levels in U.S. history?
23:11.26stderrdo you believe you were taxed _less_ under Reagan?
23:11.43{-}The problem is, too many focus on particular details of Christ, instead of trying to understand the whole of his ministry and teaching. It's complex and at times can seem contradictory. Because there are very few absolute rules beyond "Love God and each other".
23:11.46neybarI didn't pay taxed under reagan, so yes, :)
23:12.05elgwe are basically at a standstill. he can't convince me to give up my radical ideas that personal liberty isn't the perfect bandaid, and i can't keep up with his enthusiasm and readings enough to provide any real arguments
23:12.12levi{-}: Amen to that.
23:12.51elgme saying "I used to think that way and life experience has tempered my views" doesn't help any more than a parent trying to talk sense into a teenager. so we try to mostly talk about linux stuff. :)
23:13.17levielg: The trick is that you can't assail his arguments; they're fairly sound.  The weaknesses are in the premises on which they're based.
23:13.36neybarwell as fun as this conversation is I going home.  
23:13.51elgright, and I can't really unseat the premises because they're so strongly held and all I have to replace them are premises of my own
23:13.58elghence the standstill
23:14.01leviYeah.
23:14.08elgwhich i am ok with
23:14.12elgi don't need everyone to agree with me
23:14.24elgbut i'd prefer if you did it without the hyperbole and the name calling
23:14.33leviNo kidding. :)
23:14.59elgbut that's von's personality. he and jacob (closer in age) were always getting into trouble. he loves to pick fights
23:15.40elgso I try to call him on it without calling him crazy. a fine line sometimes, when my blood starts to boil
23:15.48leviThe cousins that I left the family social board to avoid, and their father to a lesser extent, are like that.
23:16.27leviMy wife is still on it, and they still occasionally drop little barbs that seemed aimed to get me riled up.
23:18.06leviI think I did help influence some of them to pay a little less heed to certain radio programs, though, including my mom.

23:21.03fungussucks to be paying taxes in the 80s
23:22.52leviIIRC, interest rates weren't fun then, either.
23:23.05stderrfungus: Sure did.

23:23.33fungusWhy is it now that the anti-taxation feeling so much bigger now?
23:23.38harleypigThat's for the person who first posted that link
23:23.41elgharleypig: all day? :)
23:24.32{-}fungus: Is it?
23:24.50{-}Do you have poll data to show a change in national opinion of taxes?
23:24.51fungusYeah, the whole "Tea Party" crap
23:24.51harleypigno ... just noticed it (I occasionally look at the last 10 links or so)
23:25.04fungusGood point
23:25.11harleypigBut I just spent 15 minutes or so on it. :>
23:25.31{-}The past is always better than the present, especially if you didn't live it.
23:25.47harleypigThe future is always worse than the present ...
23:25.58harleypigwait ... that doesn't quite work out ... hmmmm ....
23:26.34{-}We remember people like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We don't remember the bomb throwers like Ann Coulter, even though they've always existed, because critics never create anything memorable.
23:26.54fungusPerhaps I'll just keep that link handy for those people that think that taxes are so bad now.
23:26.58{-}Unless they rise to truly impressive levels of corruption, like Tamny Hall.
23:27.15leviActually, you could probably classify a lot of the revolutionary figures as bomb throwers.
23:27.44leviThey just ended up later getting into positions of responsibility rather than remaining pamphleteers.
23:28.39stderr{-}: that's ridiculous.  Thomas Paine was most certainly a bomb thrower.
23:29.06stderreven if his funeral DID go unattended (except for a few black guys), he got his fame eventually.
23:29.44{-}stderr: I dare you walk down the street as ask each person if they know who Thomas Paine is.
23:29.58stderrwell they know because Beck just butchered his pamphlet
23:30.00elgis he related to thomas the tank engine?
23:30.38stderrbut, huh.  I dunno, Paine is one of my idols.  I'd be shocked to learn the majority of Americans didn't know who he was.
23:30.44leviTime to head home.
23:30.51stderrbut I've been shocked by em before, and I'm sure I'll be shocked again.
23:30.58levistderr: Prepare to be shocked about a lot of things the average American doesn't know. :(
23:31.03unumI really don't like paine
23:31.31{-}My point is, we tend to forget the reality of a time period.
23:31.32unumI still need to read common sense, I bet I have it in my patriot writings book
23:31.39unum{-}: very very true
23:31.48unumI don't know if forget is the right word
23:32.27{-}romanticize
23:32.31unumhow many people know about the occupation of the phillipines?
23:32.39unum{-}: I like that word
23:33.09stderrunum: uh... which occupation?
23:33.17unumI bet more people know Paine wrote Common Sense than know we occupied the phillipines for decades
23:33.35unumstderr: 1898-1941
23:33.41unumdouble checks
23:34.01stderryes, at which time the Japanese occupied the Phillipines
23:35.23{-}Looks like the primary occupation of the Philippines is "laborers and unskilled workers" according to http://www.census.gov.ph/data/sectordata/sr0944703a.htm
23:35.25unumyep
23:35.29bonez46didn't we bet ousted from the Phillipines a few years ago ?
23:35.56unumI think we still have navy bases there
23:35.58unumjust like cuba
23:37.33{-}The US doesn't occupy, it liberates.
