Worst case? A screaming match. Maybe knives and guns. I know a couple people (second-hand) who were practically ejected from conferences for a controversial paper.
But Anthropologists? Anthropologists are cray.

Well, worst case scenario, one of them is going to go away from the conference with your head in a jar.
No biggy.

No.

They'll have a pretty head in a jar. Certainly the prettiest head of them all. They'll be the envy of all the other Anthropologists.
Maybe they'll even try to shrink my head and write a paper on it. Something to look forward to.

So, just to show I much I isolated myself from the news, I just learned today that my country finally got into the actual war in Mali.
So, I thought, for the heck of it, let's check what SDN has to say on the subject.
...
Seriously, guys. Not only did they manage to turn that into a Lybia thread, it's also going into Murcafuckyeah territory.

hearing hysterical anti-muslim rhetoric from a country that isn't america is a refreshing change of pace

*shrug*
I stated before that I would (have) prefer(ed) if the Africans did the job of saving their countries themselves, with the logistical & training support of Europe and NATO if need be ; but quite honestly given how shitty the situation in Mali is already, I have difficulties picturing how it could get any worse with us going over there.
Not saying we aren't Imperialists. Just that in this particular case I have difficulties disagreeing with the use of our forces.

As I said, I'm cut from the news at large (by choice), so could you point me toward examples of such, please ?Losonti Tokash wrote:hearing hysterical anti-muslim rhetoric from a country that isn't america is a refreshing change of pace

This is why I hang around geologists. At the academic family reunion, if anthropologists are the possibly homicidal maniac with a chip on their shoulder, geologists are the weird, bearded uncle who drinks too much and cracks inappropriate jokes in front of the children.Straha wrote:But Anthropologists?

Re: The Return of Testing Chat Thread
While I'm always suspicious of military intervention... this is an intervention in favour of a democratically-elected government against mostly foreign Islamists who want to impose Wahhabi Sharia on the country. So the French (and the UK is helping out a bit too) are at least on the right side. Whether they'll be successful, IDK, I haven't looked into the issues in enough detail to tell.
