What you did today
A lot of first timers starting a business go under in the first few years when the going is the hardest, there might be value in assessing the chance of success of the business and deciding whether it was worth giving some slack in expectancy of greater a greater return later on. Of course that way lies Communism, but still.

Old Black Isle board
Is it that time of year again. hi.

Aesthetically pleasing female character designs.
I'd rather have the porn archetypes than either of those.

The Witcher 2
That's Geralt smiling. Can't you tell.

What you did today
It's all about your projected income versus what you actually made. If you get the same monthly wage all the time that's a pretty easy bit of math, if you income changes drastically however.... Fair to say I didn't know what I was doing and had nothing to pay with.

What you did today
I'll be damned if I know. They have the ability to garnish any type of income, I know because my mother is still having her pension reduced to pay off some type of debt. I seem to have lucked out somehow.

The Witcher 2
Not a brooding amine hero in sight, I love it.

Is that the RTS with no S in it

Attack on UN staff, Afghan
I think it's useful to regard religion as the whole range of practices within it. What to the books themselves mean to anyone without interpretation, not much. The extremists obviously get more press, after all we are at war with them, but there are areas of the world where extremism is the norm.

Attack on UN staff, Afghan
BTW, _I_ 'remember' Christian lynch mobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs That's what I'm sayin'. 60 odd years ago. Sabra and Chatila? Kosovo/ Bosnia? Jos? Northern Ireland? There've been plenty of times where christianity has been used as an excuse for murder as well. Does any of that violence come out of interpretation of scripture, does anyone call for killing people in the name of god. Northern Ireland I suppose is a clear religious and sectarian divide, but was that what we were trying to find. No, and no. None of those examples compare well with Islamic extremism. You have to go back a while to find any, and that was my point.

Dragon Age 2
that's pretty good, we need to have Ron Pealman say it though.

What are you playing now?
Basically you just need to watch your position, don't get swarmed and don't step into any of their combos, other than that it's button mashing, but not as terrible as it sounds, there are force powers to use tactically.

I like playing Barbie dress up in my RPGs. I dunno what else that makes me. I'm pretty sure I'm not gay, or I would have acted on it by now.

They wouldn't be fundamentalists if they were able to.

What you did today
I just got a letter from the tax authorities an saying that they were gonna give up on collecting the 55.000 kr. I owe them. I guess the moral of the story is that if you owe, be a rotten bastard and reuse to pay, because time is on your side. This is great ****ing news, I need a drink.

Attack on UN staff, Afghan
It's got **** all to do with religion. And everything to do with being a ****wit. BTW, _I_ 'remember' Christian lynch mobs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ZyuULy9zs That's what I'm sayin'. 60 odd years ago. The mob came straight from friday prayer. Of course it's got something to do with religion. Some ****wit turning the situation to his own advantage and starting a riot, but isn't that always how it goes. Religion and practice go hand in hand, people want to relate it to their own lives and the situation they are in. Doesn't help that the papers are plastered with pictures of American GIs posing over dead civilian Afghans either.

Islam you mean. Who can remember the last Christian lynch mob. That might not sound very diplomatic, but it's surely true.

Attack on UN staff, Afghan
Considering how many times the UN has been attacked in the region I wonder why security didn't make a better showing of it. Apparently they were disarmed by protesters, although some of them were also killed. Maybe a couple of heavy machine guns on the roof doesn't send the right message, but it's better than this.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced
Maybe then there will be time to make games better rather than just prettier. I dunno, still disappointed in those screens, they barely look current. But hey, look at DA2, there is a lot of that going around.

Catching a killer
Are we sure this is even a code, or just random symbols left to confound someone. It would have to be reasonably simple for easy recall in writing, he probably didn't re invent the wheel if it were a code.

Libya
If we had an ounce of stones left after Iraq and Afghanistan we would just get in there on the ground and finish this in a week, hand control over to the governing council, leave, Bob's your uncle.

Prostitution is legal in Copenhagen, where I live, but pimpin' isn't. You can't profit from someone else doing it.

What you did today
Happy b day. Damn, the Nigerian prostitutes are really getting annoying. They showed up about a week ago again and their pimp, he's got a cane and everything, is really pushing them hard. They will run up to you a whole pack of them at a time and describe in unnecessary detail all the X rated acts they would perform on you if you would accompany them to their hotel. You would think they would be able to remember your firm refusal on the same day and leave you alone, but no.
