biz stuff about meRemember Israel trying to sink the U.S. spy ship? The logical flaw is that just because something is in the realm of possibility doesn't mean it must be the case. It is a cause for skepticism, but writing it off blindly is just as sad as accepting it blindly. The U.S. must prove that the stuff was destined for Iraq. Just as the others must prove that it was a plant. Just saying it was a plant doesn't make it the case. After all, I can say that elephants are all just lions dressed in really good costumes. It isn't your job to prove this wrong, it would be my job to prove it is the case. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

no my great great whatever wasnt irish no i dont have delusions about bonding with them no i dont think they give a fuk about me ... they tried to kill me (along with any other brit on mainland uk) many times the struggle in ireland goes back to the 1920's and before if you read the history ... the british were an occupation force ... the ira wanted them out ... but hey i guess terrorism is defined by which side ur on ... the french resistance were terrorists to hitler ... bin laden is a holy avenger to the fundamantalists ... bush is a saviour to the americans just tryin to see apples as apples regardless of their color is all

You are wrong again. Giles wrote: He was the defence minister, but did not tell the PM he was invading Lebabon. Israel issues goverment decision to destroy "Fatahland", it was fully known. Beirut is another thing. Giles wrote: 800 muslims were in a refugee camp, which was being protected by the Israeli army. Israel was the govern, not protecting anyone. Israel never entered Sabra/Shatila.

This means in all countries soon, murders can only stay in prison for a maximum number of years (I think it is 20). What about their victims that are permanently *dead*?

Could you imagine the US government telling the southern states they couldn't have hot sauces or foods? Or that you couldn't hunt in the northern states? Yes, I know about these absurd ideas. But these propositions have never been passed AFAIK. I remember when Sweden was about to join the EU. Rumours had it that EU laws would force us to grow cuecumbers with a specific curvature. Cuecumbers that deviated from the guidelines would not be fit for food! :confused: But thankfully, this never happened. The EU bureacrats even threatened to take away our smokeless tobacco (called Snus in swedish). Cigarettes was no problem for the EU bureacrats. The thing is, smoking kills thousands in Sweden every year, Snus kills perhaps 10 or 50. Thankfully the Snus stayed. If it had been taken away we would've had potentially 800 000 new smokers! This idiotic uniformation just ticks people off. But I think the EU has learned a thing or two during the last couple of years. We have to keep in mind that the EU as it is today is a very young creature. I have faith in EU. Given time it'll adapt and actually work for all members.

There are some murderers over here that have been put in prison for life. "Life means life", not 20yrs which is what this bill means. Most of these people are a danger and can't be 'cured'. We need to thank the EU for allowing these people out..... :( Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: Young people can't even write proper swedish anymore. Same with English. :( B.

And in an England where the PM is the US president's lapdog, regardless of the president and his ideas X| The following statement about your geekness is true.
The previous statement about your geekness is false.That's perspective, isn't it? In the US they think Blair is the best PM since Churchill.... :wtf: Blair is the worst Prime Minster of the most deceitful government I can ever remember.... :( B.

biz stuff about meSorry, point taken. And yes back in the 1920's the British were an occupation force along with a 1/3 of the globe. A lot has changed since then. I was referring to more recent times with terrorist groups - post world wars where a lot has been learnt with western countries realising war it not so great for prosperity, unless you vastly overwhelm the opposition in battle. In my note I was saying we can learn from history, and cited the eventual success though political means rather than just killing everyone who opposed. There are still many issues to be resolved, but Northern Ireland is much more peaceful than it was back in the 70's.

Oh, very very true. They way I look at it is that it is natural for people to agree with their leaders (and I mean ideological leaders). This is to be expected. I just want people to have that grain of doubt always eating away at them. They might not be able to see initial wrong doing, but they should see patterns of abuse.

don't forget America also live under a Wacko (George W. Bush). I went to the anti-war demonstration in London yesterday, where 400,000 people marched to stop the attack in Iraq and Free Pallistine. The best thing I read was Bush is another name for CUNT :laugh:

Europe's history of politics, government, invasions, slaughter, war, etc... is available to all of mankind as lessons learned and therefore does not give Europeans any added insight to current world affairs. Name the major European countries whose current form of government is older than the US's. Not many, huh?

Noone learns a lesson from the history book. And the day the USA are willing to learn something from another country will get a big red mark in my calendar. In the center of my town is (almost:was) the ruin of a church, just some scorched arcs. About half a million people have seen this artifact on a rather nice place maybe once a week. They know how war looks like. This is but one little thingie. The european landscape is scattered with monuments telling of the defeat of proud warriors. These things don't go unnoticed: art, culture - from fines literature to fairy tales, music, paintings, everything roots in a conglomerate of nations that once fought a war until they were tired of it. Only to see the next generation do the same bullshit again. Be happy you had a comparedly good start. Name the number of times you've rebuild your country from a pile of ashes and stones. name the number of times a place or house in your city was evacuated because of a WW2 bomb or mine. The history of the US is a history of eradicating aborigenees, and importing africans to do your work. Step down from your pedestal, your comparedly straight walk through history doesn't give you more insight either.

Travel thru the east part of the US and you'll see monuments from our revolution as well as our civil war. Battlefields where tens of thousands died. Travel to Hawaii and see the sunken Arizona at Pearl Harbor. There is a travelling granite wall memorial to Vietnam veterans. Not to mention the gaping hole in NYC.
