i forget what he was supposed to habe done

It's all very well documented and you are exaggerating the claims of the article. It goes to the nature of the discourse on Russia and China through half a century. I don't see you discounting the WMD fiasco as a tin foil hat conspitacy. Is that because you are willing to concede that goverments will make you believe whatever suits their strategic interests the best, including democracies who champion freedom of the press.

I thought I would post this here. A piece making the point that misinformation is much more dangerous than intelligence gathering. It's really scary how many deliberate lies eventually come to be the accepted version of events. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2013/06/20/commentary/cyber-snooping-only-one-side-of-the-information-war/#.UcMgUqDPxUM

I think the term Means too old to be married off, for better or worse. Like an old spinster. Made sense when people only lived to be 40 I guess.

Why would anyone do that to a child. Except for grandparents wishing to instill fear and obedience.

It sounds good now, but then you remember how every session ended in a huge argument about a particular outcome or ruling. Also, I don't know if I would be up for that again without the services of my mom for refreshments and cleanup duty.

It's not bad. I kinda wish they had done a movie length special or two like BSG.

There's always the Jazz festival. I looked through the program and I didn't recognise a single name. Not that I know a lot about contemporary jazz. Every event is like 50-150 DKK, I think they get a huge subsidy from the city so everyone can know that Copenhagen is the hippest happenigest jazz spot for 2013.

I'm of the opinion that the Rolls Royce of sock technology does not differ radically from the budget version. It's a sock.

Somehow I always had Mkreku pegged as one of those expensive socks douchebags. I mean, they're socks. Who in the hell cares. That said, white tennis socks are probably the worst way you could go. They look horrible and as an added bonus they make you sweat more.

A two edged weapon of war. They make the enemy run away and everyone else deaf.

They repost stuff from facebook and twitter and look handsome if they want their own show. Investigative reporting is dead. It's from an era dominated by newspapers.

I've been waiting eagerly since the announcement. Looks good. There is already a lot of bleedin obvious Appartheid going on, they didn't need to call the badguy Kruger too. lols.

I'm pretty sure I saw that girl on the train yesterday. With a small cadre of equally hot and exotic africans.

What's missing is some reason to have wide expanses. If tracking were well done for instance. If an enounter spanned several different regions, chasing or being chased by the same enemies. I don't think anyone has ever attempted that.

The genre being fantasy, not HBO shows.

We have wolves now. Supposedly. Well one or two spotted. Enough for farmers to go crazy.

That has been thrown around so often that people actually believe it. the scenes are in the book. But they are part of thousand pags long books. In that they carry far less weight than they do when they are put in tv episodes and suddenly have a far greater relative length to the rest content. The failing here is that of the HBO audience who thinks that to prove how progressive they are, they need porn in their normal tv shows. Well that's what I said - they are in the books, but sure they're disproportional compared to the rest of the content in the tv show. That's typical HBO **** and gibs policy. A bit of realism served the Wire well. I think it was well integrated in the theme. But from that point on, (or even before, I don't know) its become a feature of all HBO shows. Its the same drop in standards that happened when reality shows came about, a new low to titillate the crowds. The irony is that they're calling it progressive. From a western where a man keels over when shot to zoomed in stabbings of pregnant women in less than 50 years - yay for progress. One might argue that orientalism and outrageous sexuality is one of the defining factors of the genre. It's certainly common. It's a bit like blaming a dog for barking.

I wouldn't call it large scale stuff in the book, after the dragon is killed. Maybe large scale as it affects the realm, but not the story arc.

People need to know where all that extra money went.

Couldn't be bothered with the age verification. Doesn't appear I'm missing that much. Witcher 3 is out for current gen consoles so no wonder it looks like Witcher 2. DA3, honestly the engine is very bad, rubber banding and wonky encounters, and they couldn't even be bothered buidling new locales, so every other cave is the same map. No reason to think they will do a decent job this time.

When you factor in the properties of Volourn, up is down, black is white, he is usually extremely accurate.

Careful Wals, we don't want to give them any ideas... Is Dredd still in print? Of course Dredd is still in print. The Galaxy's Greatest Comic still comes out weekly, with Biff Clenchteeth in almost every issue. Did you see the new Dredd movie? It was much better than the Stallone version. http://youtu.be/PifvRiHVSCY I read a piece on how the Stallone Dredd movie all but killed off the comic. Matter of fact there is very little spill over from the successful superhero movies. You might see an immediate spike in comic sales leading up to the movie, but it always goes away and you run the risk of doing permanent damage to your brand. Only a superhero factory like Marvel can afford to hit and miss. Daredevil anyone ?. Dredd is one of the genuinely cool things in this world and it's nice to see it was able to bounce back with a decent movie adaptation.

I've just been asked to delete all of Felithvian's post in this thread as apparently they weren't written by him but by someone else using his computer.. So, I'm going to have a global mod do that. Just FYI. Hope it doesn't screw up too much unrelated content.
