The best pizza is in the suburbs, so just go with Pequods or Malnattis since you'll be in the city.

Gianorios, Baldinellis, Fire+Wine, Bricks, Vito & Nicks, and a slew of other family owned tavern style pizza joints in the suburbs are way better IMO than any stuffed or deep dish you can get from the city.

So a movie with cloverfield in the name, directed by the same director as cloverfield, and having the exact same plot about aliens taking over as cloverfield has no relation to the movie cloverfield?

For some reason I don't believe you.

Just watched it. As soon as it ended, I thought to myself, this is going to be a Twighlight Zone type thing. Same universe, but not necessarily connected.

At least, I hope that's how it is because that would be awesome

I see.

Can I ask you a question about the Pentagon then?

Based on what you've read and the trusted people you've talked to, what do you think happened at the Pentagon?
quote:

I don't know if that answers your question or not.


We are getting closer, I guess.

I just simply want to know who and what you trust as factual information.
quote:

I'll try to make this as brief as possible.


That's cool.

Mujahideen, Omar, bin Laden, Reagan Doctrine, money, power, blah blah blah. I get that.

You never answered my question though.

Who do you believe? Who do you believe to make you feel that this is the way it happened?

the US created ISIS.


We did? I can see you saying we are at least somewhat responsible for their rise due to Obama withdrawing our forces and thus creating the power vacuum that ISIS has used to rise to power. Is that what you're saying?

Haven't we been giving them weapons and support since the Mujahideen days, during the cold war in the 80's? If you follow the timeline, Mujahideen broke into groups after the Soviet-Afghantistan war, one being Al Qaeda. After Bin laden died, Al Qaeda started breaking into groups as well, one of them becoming ISIS.

Maybe so? :dunno:

the later, all of that stuff was "legal" at some point or at least unknown, it was made illegal based mostly on fear mongering and lies mostly by well intentioned do gooders. The WOD however is 100% about using fear to gain power, we need to "get tough" on crime, so yes, i think the blame is 100% on 1 side.


I totally agree with that. But the question still remains - is it racist?

quote:

well it's not their fault statists and authoritarians used that industry to create regulations to control society (especially minorities)

it's the fault of the authoritarians


Which came first - the drug addicts and sellers herd, or the failed attempt at controlling said herd?

I guess I should have prefaced this by saying I'm not trying to pick a side here, because I think the WOD is a stupid, stupid policy that has failed miserably. I just don't think blame is entirely on one side of this issue.
Drug trade...users and sellers alike
quote:

that's institutional racism (or can be interpreted that way rather easily)


I mean, I guess so, but there wouldn't even be a WOD if there weren't willing participants that have forced the institutions to utilize these methods currently today.

A cop can't simply act like a cop in the south side of Chicago, and that isn't his fault IMO
quote:

chicago is an example of actual racism


How so? That little boy was executed by black gang members. His father had gang ties.

I don't think what's going on in Chicago is genocide either, unless one race killing out their own race is also considered genocide?
