I'm not sour over Napoleon. I'm opposed to saying hmm maybe he wasn't so bad and did he really do anything that awful because the answer is clearly yes he was pretty awful.
Ok.
I am sour about the british making norway starve, though. It's another one in a long line of transgressions from 1066 until now.
You just wait until 2066. We'll have our comeuppance yet.

well, everyone's else armies, chasing him back again
there's no shame in picking a fight with everybody and losing, when they have to make serious effort to beat you.
Nope. The French Army plundered everything in sight and butchered local populations. The British army paid for stuff, hanged looters and didn't tend to massacre whole villages as punishment for local guerrillas. The French army were like locusts in the Iberian peninsula.
There is absolute shame in picking a fight with everyone if that fight ends up killing thousands upon thousands of people just so you can indulge your ego and wish for a big parade.
I don't have it in me to be sour over napoleon
it is kind of in the past
norway starved during the wars, because of you guys, by the way :P
Hey, hey, hey.
The French just have different ideas of what the average body weight should be. It was an honest mistake!
The french? No, the british blockaded Norway, stopping grain imports, arresting fishermen who went out to sea.
What’s threatening about Fury Road is the idea that when the earth burns, women might not actually want men to protect them. Men might, in fact, be precisely the thing they are trying to survive.
Hmmm
mass rape as part of ethnic warfare is a RL phenomenon in central africa and quite recently in the former yugoslavia
Aware of that.
I just thought that was an interesting framing of the conflict in the film, and it's prompted me to wonder what an entrenched men vs women conflict would look like and the circumstances under which one might plausibly arise.
In giving Qatar the Tournament, it seems FIFA dug too greedily and too deep.
You can see Russia hosting the tournament without bribery, it has a reasonably developed Football related infrastructure. Qatar is the real eyebrow raiser.

I haven't seen Fury Road but isn't this a movie about traumatized women escaping their past lives as sex slaves?

well, people have mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and daughters and sons
so I'm not sure there's any tenable tribal identity formation here

More or less.
There's actually only two men on their side. And the crew gets sizeable.
Most governing bodies for world sport that divide the world up on a roughly continental basis lump the rich arab states in with the barely functional bits of the middle east and/or maybe Asia (south or east)
I kind of get the feeling that some of them have a bit of a complex about the perceived stature of their national and domestic teams
I wonder whether any alt hist scenario has France realistically holding on to Algeria
You probably have to go back to when they first got it and embarking on a radical integration/incorporation policy that most of the time could not comprehend.
Or maybe if France launches an offensive into Germany during the Poland Campaign and delivers a knockout blow in WW2.

Well, I mean, you get extreme disparity in your stricter islamic states, so it doesn't seem that much of a stretch. Particularly if segregation is enforced and reproduction controlled, as I understand is the case in the film (I haven't seen it).

that's not the product of a "battle between the sexes" in any theoretical sense though
what were you envisioning?

FIFA officials get off and the us banks involved have their stocks raise as a result

I bet my ass there'd be the greatest historical reenactments ever at stamford bridge and hastings

Oh, well, yeah. Les Anglais, am I right?

Which I think is a more true name. He just pisses on things.
God if they could stick something to him that would be amazing. I guess the Swiss are now investigating too with the American arrests.
Oh no it will go so poorly for us, without a doubt.
I believe in my currently life, I was Napoleon.
this time, gas is the one thing they have too much of
rated R
Now, they currently have a capability problem that restricts them to only about 1/3 of the available payloads
But the Falcon Heavy, set to fly in the next year, should solve that problem quite handily
Anyway what I'm trying to say is this news has given me my latest and biggest SpaceX boner
when are we getting a moon base
Or, I believe I will be reborn in 1979 as a man for Dorchester named Kevin

Again, I haven't watched it yet but I think it's not simply helping women, it's helping women by going on a suicide mission.
We'll probably get an asteroid at a Lagrange point before we get a moon base
Whichever provides better resources for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), the latest acronym of importance in space exploration
For my part, I just want to express my continued support and appreciation and hope for the growth of the United States military-industrial complex

You come at the king, you best not miss.
either's good with me
ISRU is all well and good but I'm not gonna be impressed impressed until we get some space infrastructure. IE permanent bases who do ISRU.
Because then they have to bring the fluffer back out?
Having watched the movie: Nope.
Having watched the movie: nope, to both
Anarchy symbol and Tories is weird.
then we're talking
Does the both include me? Because I'd have to retort: nope.
:P
I am talking nonsense though.
The real message is love conquers all.
that's not the product of a "battle between the sexes" in any theoretical sense though
what were you envisioning?
My understanding is some anarchists think the world needs to get worse before it's ready for the revolution.

no to apo and em
