The Sony Hack...

[Man Called X]

And North Korea is now under cyber attack.

LET'S GET THIS SHIT STARTED ALREADY!

 

[Soda]

Get out the tea-cups, the terrorists/NK need to get a good speaking-to! But wait, NK said it wasn't them! They must have direct lines to the "GOP", then...

"Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon and the whole U.S. mainland, the cesspool of terrorism," the report said, adding that "fighters for justice" including the "Guardians of Peace" -- a group that claimed responsibility for the Sony attack -- "are sharpening bayonets not only in the U.S. mainland but in all other parts of the world."

I'm sure they'll surrender and not attack the U.S. if we hit them with a good tongue lashing!

U.S.-Israeli cyberattack on Iran was ‘act of force,’ NATO study found

The saddest aspect of this debate is that most Americans must think our own government does not engage in these acts against other countries. It is a willful blindness that removes context from the analysis of the acts of the others, i.e our "enemies".

What we must come to grips with: 'good' and/or 'evil' does not apply. It is all about interests and power; states do what they calculate they must FTW. Do not fool yourself into thinking that America will not do whatever it takes, even it means dropping nuclear bombs onto cities, without regards to the innocents.

Open your eyes to the reality of world domination. If you simply believe the ends justify the means, so be it--just understand and accept that the "evil" is not a one-way street.

U.S. is way, way too pussy to ever drop nukes on cities even if that was absolutely what had to be done. This isn't 1945 anymore.

I know you're trying to go all conspiracy and shit, but, just had to say this. We just got cyber fucked and I'm betting our "proportional response" is going to be to talk very loudly in North Korea's direction a bit and scold them.

I agree with @CommD to an extent in that evil is relative.

Where I differ is the comment that states do what they must to protect themselves. In this case, and in the cases of many dictatorships, the states are just extentions of a single person's desire for power and cruel domination. So the actions of the state's military are a result of fear of the despot and a few who share the despot's cruelty and desire for power.

In most totalitarian states, you're really just fighting the interests of one person. I think it's easier, for that reason, to pin evil on a single person and complicitness on those serving the powers that be.

The movie is reportedly going to get a limited theatrical release in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and Austin.

What's the score?

Are we winning now?

Since it's just a limited release, are we tied with the evil doers going into the 4th?

Come on North Korea...show those America Pigs...eliminate all the individual debt in the US. Take away their oppressive financial shackles. Thatll show the government

this part is good:

So far, independently-owned theaters in Georgia, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and South Carolina all say they've agreed to show the film, and more theater announcements are expected later on Tuesday.

this part is still bad:

None of the big theater chains, like AMC or Regal, have said they'll support the Christmas release.

and did sony forget they have own their own video on demand service (actually two of them)

Sony may also make "The Interview" available through a video-on-demand service, but no companies have publicly agreed to help Sony do that.
