    She fell in love with her son-in-law, which was against her husband's wishes. What a lousy husband. No wonder she whacked his pee-pee. :)

    That's understandable, i guess. Similarly, there is an acceptable amount of rat feces in cerial grains, etc. At some point, it just isn't feasible to prevent contamination, so you just try and keep it below the level that'll make people sick...

    Paul Watson wrote: This is all funny and haha but look at what lies underneath it... the same irresponsible disease which is spreading through our youth. I suppose, but it has brought the issue out into the light, yet again. Paul Watson wrote: She took no responsibility, learnt nothing, and will be back in debt within the year, mark my words. Well I sure hope not, for her sake and the sake of those who sent her money. I actually do believe she took responsibility: she found a way to get out of debt. The way I see it, there are two ways of being responsible in this case: 1. Don't get into debt in the first place -- she didn't do that one. 2. If you get into debt, find a way to pay it back. -- she did that. The irresponsible route would have been to get into debt and then just file for bankruptcy. The reason I admire her ingenuity is because she found a way to collect money (for her debts) without having to sell a damn thing.

    One movie that really seems to have made an impression on me is "Jacobs Ladder", a movie about a Vietnam veteran that suddenly gets all these weird hallucinations (or are they?...). I am not sure if you would find i scary though, because all of my friends just found it weird. Oh, and then there is the series called "Kingdom", it's produced by Lars Von Trier, and besides being quite funny it also have the quality of being actually scary!.

    Rickard Andersson wrote: that the Firewall is not stable and not to trust as much as a "real" firewall such ZonAlarm That's not true. What they said is that the Windows XP firewall is implemented as a service, so when booting your machine, your TCP/IP stack can start one or two seconds BEFORE the firewall. I only boot my machine every three months for power failures, mostly. I can live with that period of insecurity. Your incessant rantings indicate you have a brain the size of a pea, and the mental capacity of a bag of hammers. - John Simmons

    David your first sentence was If the World's foremost authority on global defence is releasing warnings to this effect, This is what irks me. Janes does forecast and has a history of mistakes. When I was with the army we had to study a wide variety of publications, and Janes was always noticeable for there lack of cultural ability. Let alone geographic inconsistancies. For example stratfor.com is owned privately by George Freeman, which automatically gives them an advantage. Stratfor has an incredibly high prediction success rate, and that is what coumts.
