You have a remarkable talent for stating the obvious.

I have no idea what you just said. Much like this picture ?

Man we are... old. to laugh at that.

I'd like to see your home forum, you know just to figure out whether you are all ADD brats or you are the exception. Also a spam raid is so much more fun if it's a lot of people in cahoots. Well maybe not for the spamees but there is some fun involved.

No cure for that kind of problem that I can see, either it's a bug, or a trigger that didn't work like it should. Either way you're screwed unless you have a save close by.

One of these days I tell you, one of these days the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is going to be solved by a sudden insight reached on an internet message board. Just you wait !

pffftt...

My favorite part is the traditional buffalo pinata made of broken treaties.

If it is they don't break character for a second.

The disturbing part here is the insistence on 'keeping our minds pure'. They are still kids, still learning. If they worry too much about pure thoughts they aren't going to evolve at all. I dunno, Maybe that's the ideal they are striving for.

Sections... please !

I wonder if a side **** is also less sinful.

Kinky.

I hope you're joking. But... he's not a professor, he's one of those political professional talking head dousches. Last I remember was him saying Obabma was a racist, which got some play on the sadly-not-so-funny-anymore daily show.

The Jews had been gone for far too long to make any kind of legal claim to the land, that would be patently nonsensical. The claim is not legal, in fact it's not even logical, it's entirely emotional and spiritual and as such doesn't really stack up against the claims of the Palestinians who were displaced in a very real sense. We have to deal with reality though, and reality is that they are both there now and have to make some kind of compromise.

the British , promised both them and jews this place in return for aiding them in ww1 (without the sides knowing about the other). for 20 years since then, the arabs killed jewish civilians to scare them. after ww2 (in which the world was ashamed of ignoring the jewish holocaust) the jewish settlements demanded the british departure from israel (which the u.n granted them 3 years later) There seems to be missing some rather poignant details from your history lesson, namely that the British left after only after Zionist terrorists assassinated the person charged with handling the transition, groups who were also responsible for numerous attacks on Palestinians. So, you see, it's not exactly like Arafat invented terrorism in the middle east, although he did employ it to great political effect. Without it the eyes of the world would simply have passed over the Palestinian problem, and therein lies the problem : contrary to what common sense should tell us, the middle eastern experience is that terrorism works.

None of the sides have a position worth taking, which isn't going to change until people on both sides get fed up with the stalemate.

Ideally someone steps in and solves the problem for them since they can't seem to manage for themselves. Probably wouldn't end well though.

I might get Batman, although I'm on a shared con, I can't exactly dk 6-8 gigs whenever I want without lagging everyone else to death. I'd rater have a disk for re installation.

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/t...1023esuice.html The trend is well documented, now I can't be arsed arguing about it, just saying, it's not really contested.

Point of order. I seem to detect that some people believe global warming isn't happening, it most certainly is. The polar ice caps are melting, you don't need to be an insider in the climate cadre to establish that. If this turns out to be a case of duking the stats for political motivations that would seriously undermine their credibility, but you are taking the conclusion too far here.

Do you really see those factors as capable of overturning industrial civilization itself. Honestly they are nothing compared to the tests of modernity, Dickensian squalor, Marxists revolutions and war attrition it has already absorbed. Besides, we don't know any other way to be.

I find it a bit strange that we have a minister for the climate. What does she do all day, fly around to various conventions where people decide they either aren't doing anything, or promise to do too little to have any impact. It seems to me that we have to invest heavily in new energy sources, solar panels aren't going to do it, in the best case scenario they only account for single digits of the whole usage. So, for now, nuclear it is. It's always a chance, but I think we have to take it.

In a perfect world nuclear is preferable, but the problem there is proliferation. If we start depending wholesale on nuclear power the security implications would be enormous. Nuclear power has a bad rep because when things go wrong it really is one of the most scary things you can imagine, and because the industry has a history of being untrustworthy, but honestly if it can bring me cheap power I say build one here, yesterday. I won't be waving any protest flags.
