I agree it is disturbing that more people haven't called him out on it. If you let that sort of thing slide it only gets worse, like an infection.

It's a great piece, it just lacks the humor of the others. On the other hand Henry Fonda is one mean bastard.

Hehheh. Do they still do their annual Rudolph Hess march. But seriously, the reason they are so big in Sweden is probably because of lax legislation. The Germans on the other hand have exported part of the problem and encouraged the Nazis to form international ties.

A few dollars more. The spaghetti westerns with Eastwood, Van Cleef, and ensemble rocks the pants off anything else, even Jhon Ford. Morricone as usual takes it up the final notch. My all time favorites are probably Once upon a time, A Fistful of Dynamite, and the Good the Bad and the Ugly

Whats an LBGT

I think what we are really shocked at is that they still believe in god, while most of us will only go at Christmas mass at most to show the flag.

If Turkey got in the EU they would get 70. million people worth of representation in the EU parliament.

If they did get in they would tilt the power balance in the parliament because of proportional representation. 70. million people live in Turkey, more than in France.

Extremists Imams is one thing to worry about, and I don't know how you qualify that there are 'many' linked to terrorism, another is people demonstrating against freedom of religion. I would prefer having just the one thing to worry about, but that's just me.

You can't detect the prejudice in your statement at all, can you...

How could you possibly care if there are mosques or training centers for imams or whatnot. I haven't spent 5 minutes considering the existence of the church whose tower I can see from my window. Unless you are looking for some pretext and this isn't really about mosques at all that is.

They treat their ethnic minorities rather poorly. Police brutality is rampant despite it being a democracy, they still have the death penalty, only country in Europe. They definitely have a while to go yet.

You will notice, or perhaps not, that I use 'fool' more as an expletive than an accurate description of Bush's intelligence. His 'speech impediment' and general air certainly aren't evidence of anything in themselves, although the fact that he has used his dad's name and political machinery extensively perhaps suggests that he got to the final lap in the presidential race rather more easily than well, others.

I haven't seen W, but I'll agree any time just on general principle that Bush is a fool. Now I did see the one where Oliver Stone follows Fidel Castro around and interviews him, I can't even remember the name. Anyway after several days of dragging Stone around the country on the grand PR tour Castro eventually lets down his guard and talks about Batista, the CIA and the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban missile crisis. I was surprised at how much anger he had for the Russians. Of course Stone wanted to know who shot Kennedy, as if Castro automatically must have the answer, and tried, and failed, to make that a pivotal moment.

Been youtubing again, remember this hick song from Brother where art thou, it's tyte.

I head this on the radio the other day. Chubby has really beautiful voice, and what a feelgood song.

I'm not suggesting forcing immigration, I'm just saying that these problems with racism are more intensely felt where the immigrants are fewer in number, have all the bad jobs, and are isolated in ghettos. It's not so much a question of assimilation as of getting along with one another, and that's a learning by doing process. I suppose the biggest issues with middle eastern immigrants are crime and a percieved disregard for freedom of speech. Personally I support the right of anyone to criticize and ridicule any religion any time, that's not to say that doing so is a good idea, but freedom of expression either exists or it doesn't, you can't factor good sense or situational awareness into the definition if you want it to mean anything. As for the gang and violence problem, that's only solvable in the very long view by making sure young immigrants don't define themselves in opposition to the rest of society, which is often the case.

I see a lot of integration happening every day here in Versterbro. The schools in particular. I think the problem is there still aren't enough immigrants. Once you become a truly multicultural hub, like London or Paris for instance, it forces the process. Being named Muhammad is not going to hurt your chances of getting job most places. It certainly did 10, or maybe just 5 years ago.

An excellent but underrated movie, The Duelists.

I was presented with a rather unique 'motif' the other day. I was taking out the trash when I noticed a book resting on top of the bin. The title read 'When you get tired of your ****, just buy another one', a line drawing of a man casually throwing a (his) **** over the shoulder. I was so, I don't know if 'shocked', is the word, 'distracted' then, that I accidentally binned my bills which I was on my way to paying in the paper recycler. I didn't inspect the book further, so I don't know if the intent was to be funny, feminist, or both. A good picture has a story to it, and one can understand why having the book around might prove inconvenient, and on the other hand, it's a book, maybe someone else would want it. So it rested there for a few days until it finally disappeared. Did someone take it, did it make it's way to the bin. I will likely never know. I guess the moral of the story is that one should have a camera for these occasions.

At first Kirk annoyed the hell out of me, but I realized he was supposed to be over the top rebellious and the character grew a little on me.

Judaism creates Christianity, and both spawn Islam. Then they go to war. Judaism is last to the battle but makes up for it with enthusiasm.

As it has already been pointed out there are plenty of clans populated with people who don't have the time or inclination for lengthy practice sessions. Casual gaming is supposed to be about having fun, leave the professional tournaments to the koreans. Although losing is not as fun as winning, doing slightly better than last week is still an amazing feeling.
