  1. What's startling to me is that I only heard of throium about a fortnight ago. WTF, New Scientist?
  2. LOL. Most people most places are practically identical. So i don't have a problem with immigration as a whole. But I think we handle it very poorly. If you hoover up a thousand people who've lived a life of unremitting tribal warfare in total anarchy, and who believe in the benefits of witch doctors and sacrifice, and deposit them in Surbiton they won't instantly adapt to our lifestyle and values just because they've seen a Gregg's the bakers. Much more needs to be done to help immigrants adjust.
  3. For some people there will drivers to offending. But I would balance the expense of tackling someone who is an offender with the expense of tackling someone who isn't YET an offender. Efforts to rehabilitate offenders - which are often unsuccessful* - cost ten times what it would cost to intervene with vulnerable children. *A friend's husband works specifically with offending youths so I am not just talking out of my arse here.
  4. Well, he did say that it would go that way eventually, in the quote.
  5. Oi! That's, like, racism but for rich people. I was thinking of your average pompus daily mail reader and could help but share the response. Sad thing is I can imagine someone sat eating their eggs on toast round the brekkie table, and reading this, and saying such a thing... I need to get out of Guildford... Badly. I know the kind of thing you mean. I've heard some shocking things come out of mouths you'd think only ate cake.

    Prefer this by them: If only because of the word 'panzer' in the title ~ Shryke, you just made me groove sideways along a corridor.
  7. I just had an awesome idea. It's like a medicalert bracelet, but for chaps. It simply reads - "in case of life threatening emergency..." and a number. The number is a voicemail box, which results in two hookers, a tame bear, and 14 lbs of confectioners sugar being dispatched to your location so the circumstances of your death are more hollywood than "t*** dies jogging".

  9. Don't get any funny ideas about fundamental changes of heart, but I found this article about how teaching prisoners to write can help reoffending rates. What this suggests to me (by informed guesswork as much as anything) is that compulsive criminals lack metacognitive skills, which writing helps develop. That is 'thinking about thinking'. I need to reiterate, though, that I don't give a **** how we stop people reoffending. They can have a hug a day for all I care. But I find the reoffending rates far too high.
  10. I'm buying Arcanum this Friday, and going retro.
  11. I thought Cass' quest had th emost interesting deciisons for charcter development/concept (in my head at least).
  12. Too true. Of course I know you're only saying this so my head will explode like a microwaved grape.
  13. Let it not be said that I am afraid of my own medicine. Did twenty ascents of the hill today, at double time for 4 in 5, and rapid controlled descents the same ratio. No halts to rest. Was hanging out on the last go, but made it with minimal lasting pain to my back. However, ten minuts later I'm still a bright red colour in the face.

    Canadian communists say: hands off Libya!
  15. This has to be the only fashion photo I've ever seen that cost me d2 SAN: http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/galleries/T...-a-wedding.html
  16. Do phys. It will help with the stress, and help you sleep. It's now 6 am (barely) and it's snowing outside. *sigh* Circuits?

    I vote the SAS change their motto to that from 'who dares wins'.

    By 'western spec ops are operating' I assume you mean 'getting arrested'.

    Since Obyknven is clearly Lord of Flies' alt is it any wonder that he struggles to handle the concept that anyone other than the proletariat might revolt? BTW, they ARE having outside help. I already posted that Qatar has agreed to act as their broker.

  22. Call me an old hippy, but I was rather looking forward to the point where we'd have to burn our old nukes just to stay warm.

    Foolish Tigs. You cannot have any ordered system, infused with energy, without some form of moderation.
  24. I seem to recall saying that if everything esle was going fine then we'd forget our exes. everything IS going fine, and I've basically forgotten my exes. Learn from this, my young apprentice. *hit by falling piano*
