Excuse me?!?!?! How would you feel if other countries attacked your country if they think there is a terrorist threat there? The thing is that people are afraid.And people who are afraid tend not to think too clearly.Violating some country's sovereign rights is NOT the way to combat terrorism. It never is. All it does is say that "We got big guns and we can do whatever we like. So Deal". It's just gonna turn a lot of countries that once supported you away.The way things are going now, WW3 looks very real. People in power shouldn't be allowed make decisions with anger, or even fear in their minds.And killing innocents can never be "the greater good" Notorious SMC

No. Now don't get me wrong - Paul looks like a very dashing young man, has been proven to have a great sense of humour, etc, etc. However, I didn't want to see the sunkissed bit as I would have been jealous of the heat he is enjoying while I sit in Kent and shiver. As for my hubby - he has nothing to worry about lol.... Ah my sarcasm wasn't lost this time. Cool :-) Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Microsoft refuses to fix it which forces web developers to use Microsoft-proprietary methods, thus locking them to IE. a bug is a bug, why should we think Microsoft developers can code better than we do :-D Although next time somebody finds a bug in my code, I might create a conspiracy theory to deflect the attention from my poor coding ;-) Michael Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round -- Queen

More so about collecting info regarding some of the following: Military spending, humanitarian aid, economic aid, taxes, energy efficiency, productivity per capita, pollution, history. I don't know yet what I want to do with the information. How to present it? what the real goal is beyond informing..... Maybe I'll call it americanfingersinyourpie.com BW "I'm coming with you!

Why can't they just leave it uncensored, and show the 'R' or 'PG-13' sign in the corner, so people aren't surprised. Hopefully, we'll be able to filter our level of censorship at some point. for example, let's say I have children and I don't what anything rated PG-13 or R playing before 10PM on my TV then I dial into my set that way, and shows are filtered accordingly.

Mine does that too, though I've never experienced a pop-up because of it. Then again, whilst I can see "auto.search.msn.com..." in the status bar when I make an mistake with an URL, it is Yahoo! UK and Ireland that loads. That's surely a Good Thing™? David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk David Wulff Born and Bred.
