Sarcasm? The Obama admin hasn't stopped bombing. There's been more drones strikes under Obama than Bush. That's going to continue no matter who wins the next election, unless the country actually wakes up and votes in a 3rd party candidate, but that's not happening anytime soon. Drone strikes are basically assassinations. Air campagins to achieve a political goal are something else and have been a favorite tool for the US over the years.

hah

Just jumping in the middle here to say that I absolutely loathe timed buffs. 3 minuite + to this and that attack/resistance. They are a pain, especially if you are forced to deal with them. Sometimes abilities are structured like timed buffs. This would be a bad thing.

Allan Rickman is more accurately known as Hans Grüber. At least to people who don't have an ounce of interest in children's books.

It had completely passed me by that the US is going to revert to its tried and tested bombing diplomacy. Given what's at stake though I don't see how the Syrian leadership would be able to concede very much.

Theres a dorm in that building block, don't know what faculty but it's super nice compared to the rest.

Yeah, it's going to suck though. Affleck doesn't have a badass gene in his body.

Watching all seasons of Archer.

I used to have Burke from Aliens (Paul Reiser) so I could have this awesome quote that is my sig. Changed the avatar to Kikuchiyo from Seven Samurai (Toshiro Mifune) so now it makes no sense, but it's still awesomer than thou.

Activism is part and parcel of democracy. It's something you are just going to have to put up with. If however a concerted pro GLT (did I get all the correct letters ?) campaign is seen to originate overseas I predict it will fail. People don't like being told what to think by knowitalls from another country.

Master and Commander. I must have watched it 5 times. Wooden warships are awesome. Why aren't there more movies with wooden warships.

I realise that transgender people have the same rights as anyone else. Personally though I think surgery is an extreme step. If I were 'trapped' in this body or the other it seems far more doable to simply adjust to living as a man or a woman whatever the case may be than to undergo surgery and hormone treatments which is still dangerous and may wind up quite a bit off the mark one was aiming for. It seems to me that they are not only people who feel trapped in the wrong gender, but also people who place an extreme emphasis on identification with a particular gender. The grass is always greener on the other side, that kind of thing. This is something that we can adress as a society, making sure that people can live comfortably in their own skin without having to deal with a lot of gender based bias.

Isn't A levels what you need to apply to university. Not everyone does that right off school you know. Life gets in the way and such.

I think that horse is gay. I mean look at it.

Google's first hit.

Got flashed by a truckload about two months ago. I was so startled I couldn't think of a comeback, and then they had driven off honking the horn screaming like lunatics. Like any good Danish tradition it involves large quantities of alchohol and lots of pent up stress. Goes on for weeks while they hold parties at each classmate's house.

North Koreans show up in menacing looking trucks and take over the White House in 9 minuites. After that the only hope for the country is John Mcclaine and his 8 year old daugher Lucy. It does not compare well with the earlier movies and suffers from a severe lack of Alan Rickman or a Jeremy Irons with a german accent.

RIP. I'm no good at finding the right thing to write at these moments.

I wached a documentary recently about Indian independence and I never knew that the lack of local forces and the knowledge among the local hamlets that the border with Pakistan was in the process of being decided actually incited a series of bloody pogroms. The lack of centralized power is a very dangerous thing, even for a short time.

If we are going to go digging for blame put it on bad Brittish administration prior to independence and Zionism. Maybe it could have been possible to create a Jewish state without automatically antagonizing all of its neighbours, but not with such a massive influx of immigrants over so short a time.

As already pointed out, the status quo favors Israel. With the current leadership they are going to concede exactly nothing. We don't have a strong Palestinean moderate on the other side of the equation either. Yep, entirely hopleless. They may agree on principle and set deadlines for further talks, like they have done for decades before with nothing materializing on the other end.

I don't think honey goes sour.

Only one in ten people who mention Citizen Kane have actually seen it or can remember anything about it. The rest just name drop. I saw it in school ages ago I think. Fell asleep.

I find the premise of these CEO hero/biographical movies kinda repugnant. Old socialist itch I guess.

The Olympics can only rejcet countries based on current practices during the selection phase. If they reject countries after they have already been chosen to host an event it looks like they are chosing sides politically, which they can't do given that they have to build bridges between different government types and peoples.
