a nation that had people of many ethnic groups, languages, religions, alphabets and other catagories live together under one flag and one ruler. It was formed after World War I as a kingdom. The name "Yugoslavia" technically means the "Land of the South Slavs". It was later ruled in a dictatorial manner and during World War II the country was torn apart partially due to actions by the Axis powers. One example of this calamity is that the Utashe, a Croatian fascist group established a Croatian puppet state and waged a campaign of extermination against the Serb ethnic group. A Croatian Communist, Josef "Tito" Broz, managed to reunite Yugoslavia at the war's end and he ruled the entire land under his version of Communism (independent of the influence of the Soviet leaders) until his death in 1980. The communist glue lost its hold on the country by the end of the decade, opening the way for fascists like Slobodan Milosevic and nationalists like Franjo Tudjman and others to stir up ethnic tensions. The Communist government resigned and voted itself out of existance in early 1990 and elections were soon held. Milosevic the son-of-a-bitch wanted control of the land for himself and his policies led to several years of secession, wars and "ethnic cleansing" and a new Holocaust. The nation fell apart in a raging cauldron of violence and now Yugoslavia is no more. There are now several ethnically-based countries, although Bosnia is a mixed bag republic consisting of people in the Croat, Serb and Muslim ethnic groups. "Yugoslavia" is now a word that refers to a country torn apart by hatred and violence between ethnic groups.
1. Rwanda and the Sudan (Darfur region) have experienced ethnic genocide just like Yugoslavia.
2. Some ignorant bigots with their attitudes concerning a certain black Presidential candidate and racist mythology about immigrants (legal and not) and post-9/11 fears stemming from terrorist actions are talking of "America for the Americans" and "RAHOWA". They use these issues to justify their hate. They want to turn this great nation into another Yugoslavia. That way is NOT the answer.

Quite simply He is the Messiah referred to by various cultures everywhere. He gave a new message of mercy and forgiveness. He had a very hard time selling these ideas. He still does. He performed many miracles in order to glorify God and His greatness. He's been given a bad rep by hypochristians, fanatics and other zealots who do evil things in His Name. All religions have their fanatics and Christianity (the worship of Jesus as the Son of God) is no different. Some atheists claim that Jesus never existed. Maybe some people don't think He is the Son of God, but for someone who doesn't exist He has made a tremendous impact on history and culture. Also, fairy tales generally don't last for over 2000 years. Besides, I'm not a Buddhist but there's no doubt that Siddhartha Gautama Buddha lived and died over 25 centuries ago.
Teleevangelists give Jesus a very bad name.

adj. Has the state of sucking to the max. Has a high degree of suckability.
My girlfriend took me out to the dollar cinema and we saw the movie "Sibling Rivalry". I had NEVER seen a movie so sucky. It was depressing that anyone would find such trash to be entertaining.

a wonderful band that formed in the mid 80s somewhere in Massachusetts. They practically played 'grunge' and 'alternative' before those terms became a vogue around 1991. Members are J Mascis on guitar and most of the vocals, Lou Barlow on bass and Murph on drums (with images of sunshine faces on the bass drum heads). All their albums are pretty good, 'Green Mind' from 1992 recently got a reissue with bonus tracks. While many other alternative bands have imploded or bit the dust, Dinosaur Jr. is still around and if anything is to be said, they're even better now than ever before.
1. In 2018 I saw Dinosaur Jr. at a beerfest in Marengo, Ohio and it brought me back to my college days. After everything that's come and gone, musically and otherwise - it's good to see these troopers still in the game. J Mascis now has long white hair, a long white beard and he looks like a wise man. He still sings 'softly' and his guitar playing is fierce and LOUD. And their recent CDs are better than previous. They're better than ever.
2. in 2021 during lockdown Dinosaur Jr. released a new CD, 'Sweep It Into Space'. It's very good. They made a few videos for it, but the pandemic kept them from touring to promote it. So they put on a free internet show for the NPR web page, playing in an empty ballroom with just a cinematographer. On the stage they had namesake toys - inflatable dinosaur toys of several species, Muppet dolls (like Animal and Ernie), a John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album, a Rolling Stones 8-track tape and other props on the stage and for 45 minutes they rocked the house (sans audience). They were as electric and stellar as when I saw them 3 years before and they made my day. Thanks, guys. Now let's stay safe for the better times to come.

1. someone who likes to address an audience but wants EVERYONE to cheer and praise him no matter what he says or does. A big time megalomaniac.
2. someone who is away and is negligent about pressing matters, issues and emergencies that demand IMMEDIATE attention right fucking NOW!
3. a person, especially one in an authority position, who is extremely cruel, selfish and vain. A complete pompous ass. The Emperor Nero of the Roman Empire killed his mother, his wife and his cohorts.
1, In 2004 George W. Bush gave a commenment speech at the Ohio State University. Graduates who turned their backs in protest against the Iraq War and other crimes were arrested, along with peaceful demonstrators outside. The audience was "encouraged" to give Bush a "thunderous" standing O. Emperor Nero wanted to be known as a theater actor, singer, lyre player, chariot racer and more and he always bullied the judges and crowds to cheer and favor him. From this we get the Nero Complex.
2. So many disasters occured in the sucky Aughts decade. When Hurricane Katrina hit the stupidity and corruption and incompetence was so unbelievably horrid. Kayne West made his famous statement and many others said that Dubya "fiddled while Rome burned", meaning he did zilch while New Orleans and surrounding areas needed help NOW.
3. History shows that there's been many more people with a Nero Complex. Besides George W. Bush there are Mobutu Sese Seko, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao, Slobodan Milosevic, Idi Amin, The Grand Turkman, and other arrogant turds.
