(33,023 posts)John Moore and his guest Dr. Jim Garrow share that there are OVER 250,000 Chinese
troops in America now, living and working as college students, fast food workers and a
variety of different jobs to keep them out of sight.
This number DOES NOT include an additional 25,000+ Spetsnaz troops from Russia.
This discussion begins nearly immediately and also goes deeply into what they believe
that these Chinese troops are here for, and its surely not for humanitarian purposes.

Tuesday Afternoon
(56,912 posts)Fuck is a 2005 American documentary film by Steve Anderson, which argues the titular word is key to discussions on freedom of speech and censorship. It provides perspectives from art, linguistics and society. Oxford English Dictionary editor Jesse Sheidlower, journalism analyst David Shaw, and linguists Reinhold Aman and Geoffrey Nunberg explain the term's evolution. Comedian Billy Connolly states it can be understood regardless of one's background, and musician Alanis Morissette says its taboo nature gives it power. The film contains the last interview of author Hunter S. Thompson before his suicide. It features animated sequences by Bill Plympton. The documentary was first screened at the AFI Film Festival at ArcLight Hollywood. The New York Times critic A. O. Scott called the film a battle between advocates of morality and supporters of freedom of expression; a review by the American Film Institute said this freedom "must extend to words that offend". Other reviewers criticized the film's length and repetitiveness. Its DVD was released in the US and the UK and used in university courses. (Full article...)
