crowfeathers posted:Can someone explain why suddenly the Sochi olympics are TERROR CENTRAL? Because Russia is sort of in the crosshairs of a lot of groups pissed about it's behavior in the autonomous Republics (it always has been really) and after the successful attacks in Volgograd in December things are in quite a tizzy. Plus Sochi is geographically really close to a lot of those cauacasian regions that are wracked with conflict.

Sochi is also in Krasnodar Krai, which is pretty close geographically speaking to Dagestan and Chechnya, the twin epicentres for the Chechen seperatist movement. Pretty good chance to grab the world's attention.Cabbit posted:The dude has to be trolling.

Little Blackfly posted:I seriously don't understand Rall's point here. The US should have used the TPP negotiations to ban finning worldwide? It should have backed out and let the finning continue regardless? It's like the one issue in the TPP that wouldn't make sense to criticize the US or Obama on, unless Rall thinks Obama should be strafing Chinese and Korean fishing boats with drones or something. Some notes on the TPP that make Rall's critique even more ludicrous: The TPP doesn't include China. A large part of the point of it is to pull countries in the region out of China's sphere of influence, and make them more likely to follow international norms of legislation, as well as cooperative in current international agreements (including, say, banning shark finning. This is why the TPP probably has various benefits to corporate actors- it's to induce them to get their host countries to sign on and generally move away from following China's much more disruptive/destructive approach to international legal practice. A caveat- I haven't studied the leaked TPP draft itself, just the academic literature on its intended effects. Given that the first google result for TPP is the EFF's opposition page, I probably would support the TPP out of spite if it gave companies the right to purchase the souls of orphans anyways.

colonel_korn posted:The funny thing is that even if marijuana does cause brain damage, that's also true of alcohol and nicotine (and even sugar for that matter), so Obama would still be correct. Both of the UCLA studies (the nicotine and sugar links) have massive validity problems and are being inflated by those articles, which are basically advertising press releases. Just to start, analogy to humans from animal models on this kind of research is massively irresponsible without better etiology documentation. Nicotine probably does cause brain damage, sugar almost certainly does not in any meaningful way. Research on medical outcomes of marijuana is extremely difficult because the substance is banned, but it contains carcinogens in fairly high doses-although exposure rates to those substances are difficult to compare, since, few pot users don't have a pack-a-day habit and, again, research is difficult. I'm not immediately aware of good research showing direct brain damage caused by marijuana- the clinical harms that I object to are behavioral/mental in nature. Edit: Whoops! I thought the one implying the kid was brain-damaged was the real deal, and I switched to the color version of the true comic without noticing the difference! Nothing to see here folks! Aside from the basic rule of not trusting UCLA study results. It's one of several universities that herald every .8 alpha result as the cure for cancer.
