How can you ask such a question, of course. Hasn't everyone? No. OMG Walsie !!!! I can't believe you never have watched American Horror Story Where have you been living, the shows are brilliant. Especially if you think the whole French Maid or Nun costume looks sexy and you like horror these shows are a must I don't really watch TV unless it's on Channel 4 OD, or BBC iplayer.

The same day UN inspectors arrive and that's the perfect excuse for the West, already gunning for him, to step in after the requisite videos of dead children and crying adults, etc. Seems a really weird decision to make. Ah well, hope this adventure just costs from the TLAMs. Malc it sounds like you are doubting that Assad is behind the attacks, remember he doesn't care about Canada or the Canadian people. I heard one of his favourite meals is Roast Moose, sorry to upset you but you need to realize he is a bad person For the record, I also like roast moose.- Last words workshop
I already thought of the idea of having caches with clues dependent on my relatives having paid attention to my bull**** stories for years prior.- Movies You've Seen Recently
1. Serenity was a film. It had to have material that could mass appeal. That meant punching. 2. Serenity was a last gasp, so it was obliged to tie up loose ends. Not much sodding point keeping secrets to the grave.- What you did today

There's no doubt that they HAD chemical weapons in Syria, but there wasn't any doubt in Iraq that they HAD possessed them. If anything this is a weaker case for precisely the reason you mention, Bruce. We don't know if the people we are threatening to bomb are the ones who owned and used them. But the better parallel is that the legal case on Iraq ignored the attorney general's point that military action could be undertaken on humanitarian grounds. This is effectively how David Cameron has been trying to sell it in the UK (in my view). He is arguing that the international community cannot allow anyone to get away with chemical weapons use. Sadly I fear that all he is doing is sending a signal to every tinpot 'rebel' that if they can acquire and use chemical weapons then there's a good chance the government will get schwacked. Again, I say that the entire way the US and UK are 'protecting' their intelligence sources screams out someone highly placed and believed to be credible within the Syrian top brass. They are probably just wondering how to get him and his family out. But it will still be just the word of one man.- What you having for dinner tonight?
It's entirely possible I've only ever had crap bisques, but I am fairly sure that the concept is just a bit rubbish. A soup that is both sickly cloying, AND watery.- Renewed unrest in Egypt

I remember it. Rwanda isn't a good comparison though, fully ethnic conflict, outright mass slaughter of hundreds of thousands over a short time with the main weapons being low tech, no real organised resistance on the ground. Ex Yugloslavia would be better- and Lebanon's civil war even better, since the issues were similar (minority religion in power, mainly sectarian rather than ethnic, lots of regional proxies etc). And in Lebanon the foreign interventions failed dreadfully, except ironically, the Syrian one which eventually succeeded. And even then it only worked because the Lebanese themselves got sick of fighting each other. I acknowledge your logic, but suggest that the important parallel is not the tactical methods or the scale. The key question is whether we are prepared to sit by and just watch it happen, knowing that tens of thousands (if nor hundreds of thousands) will die. The only important difference (to my mind) is the practicality of intervention.- The (hopefully) attractive women thread.
Spindly insect arms. Common to all models, but usually they don't try hitting people. Her punches were so weak that not only could I ignore them, but I could carry on speaking intelligibly as blows were impacting my jaw! Needless to say this infuriated her considerably. So much so that she carried on for several minutes until forcibly restrained by the host of the party. It is my persistent opinion that she had been driven bonkers by malnutrition.- The (hopefully) attractive women thread.

Works great! Take a piece of cotton, put it in a little metal jar and put it in an oven until its really dry. Seal the jar with tape so no moisture gets in. Perfect tinder to start a fire, one spark of a magnesium stick should be enough to make it burn good. I was told ths works equally well with scraps of an old cotton shirt- Syrian civil war

I'll send you my bank account numbers soon. Expecting the money to be wired tomorrow. Too late, dude. I already rung up the bank, and reported the issue. Then passed the ball to a mate who is a bit of a private detective. He's taking it on, on the chance there could be a reward. Long odds, but it's a fairly easy job if you know what you're doing.- Syrian civil war
- Space Hulk - review
Well on the one hand, even if the Grey Knights are rank amateurs compared to the Harlequins, Harlequins do lack the iconic nature of Space Marines, and space elf ninja clowns, no matter how badass they are with all their colour, <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" data-cke-saved-href="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Harlequin" href="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Harlequin" s_kiss#.uhqljesugjy"=""> I was thinking more along the lines of Eldar aspect warriors, Harlequins would be a tougher sell although they don't have to look like they've just come from a childrens' birthday party To be fair, I'd argue most fashionable youngsters I see in the street look like they came from a children's birthday party.- What you did today
