  1. Well, that is kind of true - if you're a good cop but yet don't report bad cops being bad...what good are you, exactly ? I recently picked up 'Cling together, Swing together' as an expression, suits this situation. Loyalty is a tricky thing. It's a common mistake to assume that loyalty enables corruption. A lack of loyalty is far worse. A loyal group will turn sour if a single skilled ****hole manipulates them. A disloyal group starts out sour and gets worse, because half the reason you don't get corrupted is to uphold a standard you owe to your friends and colleagues. Naturally, bad apples get in, and that's why you need really solid senior non-management people who will identify the bad apples and deal with them. It can't be management itself because they are effectively an outgroup. They can't usually identify bad apples let alone prosecute them successfully. Solid senior non-management will only do this if they have a clear and strong code they can feel proud of. This is one reason why it's so bloody dangerous to send the message that all cops are evil fascists. You cancel the 'debt' of pride.
  2. Drank a pint of berocca multivitamins last night before going to sleep. Had the most crazy intense dreams.
  3. Are they still making excuses, Raithe?
  4. I actually did a search and can't find the posts with Volo saying cops were fascist scum. Can anyone else remember them, or find, them? Because if not I owe him an apology. AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT JESUS HAD IN MIND WHEN HE INVENTED CHRISTMAS.
  5. I'll fill in. For funzies. Can you believe those ****ing scumbag cops making a civilian waste expensive ammunition on them? We truly are living in an oppressive police state where you cannot even discipline your woman properly without getting arrested. You, sir are a scholar, gentlemen, and professional grade impressionist.
  6. Now you're doing it on purpose. Most of the British agents were Soviet spies? Must have been a crap time to be a double agent. The whole office spying on one boss-eyed guy called Ian whose operations somehow fail 15 different ways.
  7. Does this mean Woldo has to repost his criticism of her workout?
  8. Too little bikini.
  9. Yup. Found it. Although I had to log in as admin, download the files to a memory stick, and transfer that way. Why in the name of all that is holy are the files so bloody secret!??? EDIT: Thanks to all for your help.
  10. I've enabled hidden folders, and looked in my user folder, and nothing How the hell do I enable a full search.
  11. I have just finished a playthrough of BG1 using my original 6 disc set, including TOSC. I am now ready to import my lovely shiny character file into BG2 and continue the adventure. I have done this before, sveeral years back. I can see imported character files. HOWEVER, when I go to where I think the BG1 folder is, I can't find squat. No savegames, no exported character files. They must be in my machine somewhere, as I can import them into BG1 if I try to start a new game. What the hell is going on?
  12. Its pretty clear from reports that he had mental health issues that were never addressed. Family said (if I read it correctly) that he refused treatement and in none of his previous run-ins with the law was there a mental health intervention. My point was really that we accept the 'mad' option here. But we don't in other cases of violence deliberately oriented on cops.
  13. I do beg your pardon madam. Perhaps one of us will go find some quotes to support either contention.
  14. I've been watching the Tv show Life on Mars (UK version). That WPC is just ...well... But I can't find any still images which capture her feminine genius. Anyone else? [mkreku, this is your chance to say how you have a 14 year old Latvian with nicer chesticles]
  15. The difference being a dog will beg you for another salty chip and by no means do anything to suggest it's bad for them, but loathe being covered in dye. They also object to ... ah what the hell. I was just making the point.
  16. That shouldn't surprise you, I report you regularly. Most of your posts are drivel and a few have been terribly inappropriate for a corporate-run forum. Thanks for sharing. LOL
  17. Surely it's not unreasonable to assert that if someone does something to themselves then it's plausibly ignorant for them to think it won't hurt another animal? I've seen many people feed salty chips to dogs. Without any thought to the fact that dogs can't handle salt the way we can. Doesn't make them abusers.
  18. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-30566196 Man goes on rant about the police, then _after_ shooting his girlfriend, shoots two officers. And kills them. Volo, I believe this is where you normally say all cops are scum. Please do so then I'll continue.
  19. *giggles* Wait, you're serious.
  20. I'm slightly wary of anyone's taste if they describe a hungarian scotch as the best they've ever tasted. Good whisky needs good ingredients, rare equipment (barrels), good water, and skilled treatment. And now I want a whisky.
  21. I hope you become old. And a woman.
  22. Maintenance and creation can occur at different times. Excellence in craftsmanship is not like making a pizza.
  23. I don't see why you need a special story oriented mode. I'm replaying the original Baldur's Gate. It's tougher than anything I've played made in the last ten years. I don't think I've ever had to reload anything in Skyrim more than four times.
  24. if we can fake a moon landing, surely we can fake executing these two chaps, and all the crew?
