Re: Obama is smooth...
Is a comma a conjunction? I think not. A conjunction is a word to join other words or phrases (and, but, etc). A comma separates - a pause in a sentence. I don't think I'm intellectually challenged but (a conjunction, per se) I can masturbate.

Re: Obama is smooth...
The way I see it, a string of adjectives separated by commas is a conjunction of unary predicates. E.g. Let P(x) denote "x is intellectually challenged," let Q(x) denote "x stayed up late," and let R(x) denote "x is a wanker." Then "they were simply intellectually challenged, late night masturbators" translates formally into "P(they) AND Q(they) AND R(they)".
On the other hand "P(they) OR Q(they) OR R(they)" would be transcribed, "They are intellectually challenged, or up late or wankers (or any non-empty combo thereof)."
Had I wanted to convey "(Q(they) AND R(they)) -> P(they)" I would have said, "It's Friday night and they're here jerking off to internet porn, therefore they must be intellectually challenged." Alternatively I could've said, "They're not up late, or they aren't wankers or they are intellectually challenged," but I can't think of a way to do it with just a string of adjectives separated by commas.
I supposed something should be said about the convention that some English language users (me included) leave out the last comma (it's implicit?) and some don't. But I won't say anything about that
Strings of words or phrases separated by commas are another issue altogether.
BTW. Hi martin. You know i <3 u.

Did President Obama break the law by divulging America's "secret" drone program?

Obama's a war criminal, I don't know how these scumbags can show up and accept a nobel peace prize with a straight face. He's in good company with Kissinger.

Re: Obama is smooth...
We shouldn't be in Afghanistan at all. The civilian deaths in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are in the tens of thousands. No one can give anything close to an exact count. "Collateral damage" has always been one of the grievous horrors of war, whether wars are carried out by soldiers on the ground, bombadiers and gunners in planes, or robots with controllers in Nevada. If Obama is a war criminal, then so is Kissinger and so is Rumsfeld and so are Bush, Nixon and Johnson.
Look at the death counts of American soldiers and Afghan civilians over the last decade. (Did I say decade? Time to get the fuck out...soldiers and drones!). Both tolls have gone down since the use of drones. It used to be American soldiers were drafted into service. If you got the chance to choose, would you choose to go on foot with rifle in hand into enemy territory, or would you choose to sit behind a joystick in Nevada?

Re: Obama is smooth...
Only the GOP makes up the numbers. The numbers I gave about employment are 100% true. And Trish is correct. You obviously do not know how to read a chart.
The chart below is not about job loss. It shows the change in the job rates (Losses and gains) from Feb 2008 under Bush until today under Obama. The chart DOES NOT include the total amount of unemployed in the country. It only represents how many jobs were lost or gained under Bush and Obama.
The chart shows job loss during the Bush years from Feb of 2008 through Jan 2009 when Obama took office. Over 800,000 jobs lost under Bush in just his last year in office alone. Each of those months show a constant increase of unemployed just under Bush. They are all in red.
Obama's first month Jan '09 was still under Bush policies and showed a further increase in unemployed. But after the (then) democratic congress quickly passed a few bills in Feb '09, the unemployed numbers DECREASED, shown in blue. That means people found jobs. This trend continues through March of 2010 where for the first time, the employment rate is above what it was under Bush in Jan '08. Since March 2010 to today, more jobs have been created than bush had lost at his highest employment. This means that the over 840,000 jobs lost under Bush, have now been recovered. And the Obama job rate has added an additional 220,000 jobs. Recovering Bush's 840,000 loss and adding 220,000 more gives Obama a 1,060,000 gain in jobs just since Obama took office. The net gain is shown in blue above the "0" bar.
Obama didn't sit in the oval office and draw this chart for the hell of it. The chart is a fact of life whether you like it or not. So the numbers I gave before are not made up. They are the facts.
And the guy I "railed in a cunty way", started it by being a typical nasty ass republican FIRST. Stop being a right winger and look at the facts before you accuse someone of bull shit. Every time a republican is proved wrong, they twist the facts and words of others to make their own points look valid. And you think we are all stupid enough to fall for your carp. You are wrong. We see through it like water.

Re: Obama is smooth...
Doesn't that apply to every president? Well, Noam Chomsky seems to think so.
And Ralph Nader called Bush and Cheney war criminals. And says the same about Obama. As Nader said, Obama is committing war crimes.
And Ron Paul calls Afghanistan an illegal war.
Glenn Greenwald has said that we've been inculcated or taught to believe that politicians are above the law. And, as Greenwald pointed out, people in positions of POWER come to believe in the justness and merit of their elevated status and with that comes the belief that they're above the law.
