I must confess, women do seem to be more interested in the workings of the Polish verb system than logistic curvesyou can't graph someone into bed you know
Out of interest, how did you feel about the soldiers involved in the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal?find the BBC coverage of this russian solider hard to watch. i feel like i'm being propaganda-d, like they want me to be happy or at least not upset about the prospect of this terrified looking kid being sent to prison for life as a kind of symbol. i can't imagine he's going to have a great time in a prison in ukraine, to say the least. it feels a long way from justice to me. i don't want to get all up in biscuit's territory but i find the uk media too uncritical of the ukranian side for my taste.
I think you're right that there's a level of which is about your (well, my) emotional reaction, which isn't necessarily the colder way that you probably need to think if you're thinking about it seriously. I was still at school when that happened at abu gharib so didn't really get it and wasn't engaged. I think with that one there is something horrific about it, partly because pictures exist, partly because of the creativity of the abuse, partly because it feels like all the violence and pathologies of america at that time being unleashed on the word, but obviously most importantly because of the cruelty of it. i'm not up on the details but i think the people involved more or less got away with it didn't they? although it can't have been easy dealing with the hatred of a section of the american public. and i think some of them went to prison for a bit.Out of interest, how did you feel about the soldiers involved in the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal?
In both cases, I think, the guilty parties were "only following orders" (or claimed to be, at any rate).
Looks like a bunch of people got demoted or discharged, and a few went to prison, although only for a few years at most, and nobody was charged with any of the murders:I think you're right that there's a level of which is about your (well, my) emotional reaction, which isn't necessarily the colder way that you probably need to think if you're thinking about it seriously.

I can't remember any event engendering such a nakedly propagandistic reaction ever in my whole existence it's frightening and grotesquefind the BBC coverage of this russian solider hard to watch. i feel like i'm being propaganda-d, like they want me to be happy or at least not upset about the prospect of this terrified looking kid being sent to prison for life as a kind of symbol. i can't imagine he's going to have a great time in a prison in ukraine, to say the least. it feels a long way from justice to me. i don't want to get all up in biscuit's territory but i find the uk media too uncritical of the ukranian side for my taste.
There must be an anti-luka somewhere on the internet with a whole shtick based around "DEATH TO RUSSIA!".I can't remember any event engendering such a nakedly propagandistic reaction ever in my whole existence it's frightening and grotesque
