Definitions by rise up rise against

short for Guantanamo Bay

scary place where suspected "enemy combatants" are taken and then interrogated in order to determine whether they are terrorists or not.

this area is lawless; any fucking thing can happen. do the geneva conventions apply here? who knows?

a large percentage of detainees held are released much much later and labelled to be completely innocent. seems like they take just anybody.
for some reason, the clothes nick berg was wearing when he was decapitated are the uniforms from gitmo.

rilo kiley 

Rilo Kiley is one of the few bands I like that people will not confuse to be emo

puppet government 

it's pretty self explanatory, but if it's still fuzzy, I have examples.

it's what we have in the states. and what iraq will have next week.

pesudo soveirnty (yeah, that word i can never spell)

don't you think it's odd that shrubya is smart enough to run a country but dumb enough to choke on a pretzel?

most people already know who is really running our country
the word was coined around the 70s (way before I was born) during the days when people discarded all syllables but the last. (pizza = 'za, matches = 'ches... seems like only 'zine survived.)

So it's basically a crudely made magazine.

Mostly punk/poetic/indie/misunderstood/lost/artsy/goth/loner/whatever teenagers do it now.

They write/draw whatever they want on pieces of paper, photocopy, staple, and sell them for anywhere from a few dimes to a few bucks. Many are also free.

If you buy a zine for over $2, you got ripped.
In my opinion, if you charge more than a dollar, you suck. You've more than broken even, you blood sucking capitalist.

screening 

usually an indie movie or film. When this word is used, I tend to imagine that it is cheaper or free as opposed to when it's CALLED a movie or a flm.

Indie elitists use this term to sound cool, as do I.
1. Let's go watch the (insert film here) screening tonight.

2. I heard they're screening (insert film her) at (x location). Let's go watch.

break edge 

when you are straight edge or sxe and you finally start doing drugs/skanking again.
I broke edge once: New Years. But usually, I am more sxe than your single aunt will ever be
Mayor of San Francisco.

Before, I was doubtful of this man.

But if it weren't for this his daring, our country might never know what it's like to have gay married couples living in our nation (doesn;t feel any different than before.)

If it werent for Newsom, a lot of people would still think gay marriage = apocalypse.

I'm very impressed by what he's done in his first year alone (the only other SF mayor I ever knew was Brown, who did jack shit for all these years.)
BUT I have beef with: his handling of homelessness, the fact that he is very pro-biotech, and the fact that I wouldve wanted to see a green party guy win. (certainly came very close!)
