I get tinnitus in my ears from listening to my headphones too loud when younger. For a while I tried pointing this out to people on the train and bus etc, but soon got fed up. People just won't listen. It's sad because I used to have a very good ear for music.

Yes. Hilarious. Why not entertain us with a review of Pride & Prejudice, assuming you haven't actually read it?

Pfah. Give me the Guard any day. A space marine has been engineered to know no fear. An inquisitor is raised and tutored to master it. A guardsman has only his Codex and his gun and himself. He makes his own bravery.

Firstly, "break another nation so it can't hurt us again"? you sound like Georges Clemenceau. We know how this approach precipitated the crises in Germany that lead to the upsurge in extremism and demand for revenge. Fight your wars in that way and you will either find yourself fighting the same people over and over, as they recover and seek revenge. Or you will find yourself fighting the whole world for behaving like a monster, perpetrating genocide. Is that path really better than one more measured but less dogmaticly reassuring? Secondly I cannot understand your notion that you can wall yourself off and expect the world to elave you alone. It will emphatically not leave you alone. It may leave you till alst, but eventually you will find the course of world events written by people who believe the opposite to you. Do you expect them to respect your position or undermine you and take what is yours?

I don't have a checkpoint approach. Read too much zen/rubbish. My life is about fulfilling my ongoing commitments. i have been considering whether to think about settling down and having kids, but nothing doing as yet.

Those who attack us should be wiped from the planet, without remorse or mercy, then we go back minding our own business. If they minded their own store and not bother us then we should not bother them, but if they do decide to bother us then we make them pay with blood. I don't think you're properly applying your brain. You aren't simple, so I don't see how you can genuinely think this is a viable option. The World isn't highschool.

I don't drive or smoke.

The real threat of having you, and everyone you know and your camel killed ain't exactly an environment which promotes feelings of safeness. Yes, I know, but that is why we should simply leave and let them have at it. If they can't be civilized enough to sort their own problems without the need of violence then why should we spend the resources, manpower, and our soldiers lives to force them to act civilized? I am so sick of the US poiking its nose in places it just does not belong. Really? You should have said. You can't just hide under the duvet about this, Sando. The US is in the World. 9/11 occurred because you didn't acre that there were 'sick man' countries just like Iraq is now churning out extremists. Just lowering your gaze and hurrying past won't solve anything.

Is it true that the greatest percentage of that tax burden arises from payments to the Federal Reserve Bank? A PRIVATE consortium?

BBC7 comedy and drama, live, recorded, and free to all. Live the comunism!

If you say so, but I only said that it was more stable than the current situation. I'm not certain a stalinist regime predicated upon fear and constant random death qualifies as stable as such. Not in the same way the the MCC board could be said to be stable. Or a chemical compound. Or platform.

Maybe tax clothes made of silk, but not cotton, wool, polyester... *thinks* Or velour.

How can it be irrelevant who's doing the killing? If the US invaded France, and I went across the channel and started shooting Frenchmen is that the USA's fault?

Also, anyone who tells me forks are meant to do anything other than hurt people will have to sit through being stabbed in the face. That's my hobby.

My thinking was that clothes are obligatory under law. So is it fair to tax them?

Sorry to hear that, mate. One of my oldest friends was diagnosed with MS a few years ago.

The truth is they cut it off from the public because the stones appear to be becoming younger. Suggesting some dour mystic forces are at work. It's like the fnords all over the window sill at the Texas book depository. Alright it's a lie, but it'll make staring at rocks more interesting.

I got the Blackhawk Down reference! See aso the 112 shiites killed just now in an explosion. I've no doubt there is violence aginst people who see us as occupiers, but the main drift seems to be some kind of hellish Balkan style ethnic cleansing.

in missouri, on interstate 44, they put up a sign just west of fort leonard wood (waynesville, between rolla and springfield) that says "drug checkpoint ahead" on the eastbound lane. the highway patrol regularly catches folks that get off at the next exit. as it turns out, there is no drug checkpoint, and the next exit is where the cops actually sit. the reason they can bust you? because the exit itself is essentially a dead end, with no reason for anybody to get off unless they live there, or they're trying to turn around to avoid the checkpoint. it's rather funny, actually. taks Genius.

Are clothes always taxed? If so, why? Are they not essentials?

There's High Church and Low Church WH40k. Low Church is teh uber marines and giant ridiculousness. Which gets in the kids, which is commercially vital. high Church is the more esoteric stuff like the Inquisitor game, and gets into the serious business of chaos, aliens, and the nature of man. As a silly/serious person myself, I love it.

If YOu chaps had pitched in earlier it could have been over by Chrsitmas, and the rage engendered by the years of slaughter would have been lessened, probably avoiding the treaty. Heh, balme America eh? How PC of you! But seriously, that is exactly the kind of thing I would have argued the US needed to stay out of. And to tell the truth, if not for the Zimmerman incident, the US would never have gotten involved. The Lusitania did not piss anyone off. The Zimmerman Telegram did. Why no. Merely the whingeing of a nation that is incaable of fighting wars until it is losing.

I'll accept guns are made to shoot bullets. But anyone who tells me bullets are meant to do other than kill people will have to sit through being shot.

Th British Museum is excellent. The Library did not impress me. You have much cooler libraries in the USA. Don't miss out Oxford, where you should try to see the Pitt Rivers collection in the Natural History Museum. Shrunken heads, and swords made of teeth!

It helps if you also belt out the Soviet national anthem.
