To find a new place to poo without a toilet.
Fair enough, there are no toilets on the moon. Fear not, the space faring nations will work it out and you can read about it on the internet.
I thought Oppenheimer was a genius???
But OK... if you think a monkey is a genius
Oppenheimer? WTF are you on about? A Pavlovian response to having gone too long without typing something snarky about the Jews?
I don't even know what you are trying to say....
No, I dont imagine you would.
Look, I'm not necessarily calling your 'country' a cargo cult as an insult. Some scribbled lines on a map drawn by middle management at the East India Company, such as it is. I'm merely recognizing the obvious.
You know you can't build and maintain 50 year old fighter jets on your own. And you need those jets or your 'inferior' "monkey" neighbors will roll you up (again(for the fourth time)). And no one wants a nuclear exchange in Asia, it's bad for business.
So Pakistan gets to be the world's open air prison for the most despicable terrorists -- who live there under a sort of house arrest with their VHS porn, three "wives" and ISI handler. In exchange we dangle enough military cargo for you to keep tying together bamboo bi-planes.
We'd prefer to (and often do) just unalive these less-than-humans but drone strikes play poorly politically. Can't throw them in a hole with sodium lights and loud bossa nova blaring 24/7, either. We'd like to (and often do) but there are legal principles to consider and its seems too icky for television.
Praise allah for Pakistan! A home you would only wish on your worst enemy. Exporter of knited fabric, soccer balls and religious hatred. Always eager to smooth out another dirt runway if someone will show 'em how to rebuild a turbine. But you're never going to get the Beyond The Horizon radar or any of the avionics that make the planes useful in the first place. We're dumb, but we aren't that dumb, and neither are the Chinese.
Personally, I think it is a bad deal for us. Too much carrot, not enough stick. I'd prefer we sink our lot in with India. Wait on you two to kick off again, and go in there with four tank divisions and a carrier group and turn the place into a casino.
basically anything you can possibly imagine
I can imagine quite a lot.
Ironic you phrased it that way. There's a current debate about Acrocorinth, ritual prostitution and how much of the story is true, imagined or exaggerated for propaganda by.....wait for it....the christian church. To have an ingroup you much have an outgroup.
'Me and my fellow christians might be a tender flock of sexually repressed blowhard homophobes and sinister virgins, but at least we ain't like those polytheist ----- in Rome or Korinth! amirite?!'
As demonstrated in the comments, in Oxford's essay, and in the "mistakes" of the committee for the Revised Standard Version of 1946, who is now credited with inventing christian homophobia out of thin air during the Eisenhower administration: It says whatever they want it to say. It says as much as they think they can get away with.
