    After this US government suddenly become peacefull. Funny how Syria is some kind of Bizarro Israel for these countries. Interesting point but I question if Russia and China will go to war over a Western intervention in Syria. I would be very surprised

    Mmmm, that is an interesting view but the article for me talks about the word "yes" as being what is important . In other words if a very drunk girl says " yes lets have sex" then the next day says she was raped the guy shouldn't be charged. But we also need to use our common sense. In all my years of partying myself and anyone I know have known has never been accused of rape as it is obvious when it is appropriate to proceed to the next level of the physical relationship. So I don't see the law as unreasonable or someone effecting our ability to have sex whether we are drunk or not?

    This is a very well written and relevant article concerning this topic. Nice one

    Would be interesting to see, I guess only Syria might try tangling with Israel. Or Israel decides to use those nukes it denies having. Malc I thought we agreed you would stop believing these conspiracy theories

    I do believe it, that's not the issue but the perspective it creates for the rebels. It will be seen by most as a representation of the entire rebel movement and enforce GD point about the reasons for not going into Syria. And obviously I disagree with that But look, hold on. You will concede that it is at least possible that the rebels are pretty well all Qaeda fundis. Does that change our response? Unfortunately I won't concede that as then I would be forced to sadly fall into the camp opposed to intervention as helping Al-Qaeda is worse than Assad staying in power. I obviously reject that view as it can't proven and doesn't make sense

    This article smacks of bias and of someone who is generalizing about the entire rebel force, this article paints the Syrian rebels in a bad light because of his experience in one division?

    People that know me and have observed my behavior usually ask wether I'm really a human or an alien being, but I don't have any problems with winter or darkness and neither have I ever heard my friends complain about it. Then again, they consume lots and lots of alcohol. And sex. Usually those two go hand in hand. Also as Ros says up there; Most people that have grown up here are used to it. When you've known nothing but dark winters it's business as usual. It's makes for a quack mecca though. Or how about light earbuds? XD I also don't mind miserable weather as I think it makes the indoor activities, like PC gaming, more cosy and obvious Of course I do live in a city that has sunshine 95 % of the year so I probably don't know much about bad weather for long periods

    A proper Chef would say "no" but for the average person its more about the taste so it would be a big fat "Yes "

    Hard to believe. Last year we had a really dark long winter, endless snow and completely overcast weather for 5 months straight. I think I counted 3 days that had a couple of hours of direct sunlight and temperatures often dripped below minus 20 celsius. Man, that made me feel even more miserable than usual, now in Scandinavian countries such winters are pretty much the norm, I cannot imagine anyone being even remotely happy under such dreary climatic circumstances. You have raised a good point about the weather, I hope our Scandinavian members will comment on the weather effect on there happiness

    I agree but only if Syria adheres to the dismantling of all Chemical weapons in an effective and timely manner

    Or you can see it as many Americans have grave concerns around intervention in Syria and this has represented itself in the uncertainty on Capitol Hill This should be an example of the strength of the American democracy and Obamas presidency and not seen in any negative light.

    Watching John Kerry's original 'proposal' live was unintentionally hilarious, as you could actually see him pause half way through, wince, and think "oh asterisks, I've really screwed the pooch here, haven't I?". Yeah, give the Syrians stall room anyone could take advantage of, give any waverers on your side a bail out option and give everyone else another reason to advocate delay. And all right before you're going to have Obama going on tele to try and rally support. While I'm kind of glad they've been so cack handed as it makes intervention less likely it does rather typify the entire Obama administration that they cannot even get the basics of propaganda/ PR campaigning right. Interesting but if Obama had attacked Syria you would be saying typical "America warmongering" or " American Imperialism" But because Obama is asking for a vote, and adhering as closely as he can to the principles of Democracy, on a difficult and unpopular decision he is considered weak. So its a lose lose situation for him in your eyes hey Zor

    I think there is a real issue in Asia and the high number of people that have committed rape. We hear almost daily stories on it from places like India. The biggest problem here is there almost seems to be a cultural acceptance of rape from some sectors in Asia and that is what concerns me the most

    Wals they are NOT fighting for a descent future. They are fighting to replace one strongman with another one whose religion they like. I'll repeat, there are no good guys here. This is one band of savages fighting several other bands of savages who all want something different. And when it's all over the bands of savages who survive will start fighting the other bands that survived. This war will not end with the fall of Assad. And it's just not our problem anymore. It's long past time the rest of the world begins to exploit their own resources and wash their hands of the middle east. But not all the rebels are extremists and linked to Al-Qaeda. Also you can never wash your hands of the Middle East until your country isn't dependant on oil anymore. So like it or not the events of the Middle East do effect us so we need to care

    Your reputation on certain gaming forums would be irrelevant, all I would care about is your work ethic and can you code successfully

    Drowsy are you still bitter about the role that NATO played in bombing sense into the Serbs in there campaign of genocide against the Bosnians? Or is your dislike of the West and the important role that they play in this global world about something else?
