    What

    I'm going to go with Imperial March
  2. Yeah that stuff is expensive, if you want nasty food the local kebab stand is a better bet.
  3. Whats the point of mayo, other than destroying a sandwich.
  4. The links are to a story about someone masquerading as a 13 kid.
  5. Although the US would benefit from a cap on trans fat content. Here it's 5%, in the US it could be anything. It's not like they make tablecloths out of asbestos anymore.
  6. Not McDonald's fault you choose to buy a fattening Big Mac and then proceed to wash it down with a tub of fries. That was the point of the movie, not that Mcdonalds claimed to sell health food.
  7. Genetics determine how likely you are to be able to lose weight. If you have that kind of metabolism losing weight even while eating crap food like mcdonalds ain't no thing.
  8. They're all cried out from the last 1000. No honestly, who would speak for all of Islam. There are plenty who claim to, like the terrorist groups, but when they do we all know it's a lie.

    I guess if you had a history here and a good reason it would be fine, but just listing a bunch of forums you want members for ?
  10. All things being equal it's easier to get a tribunal to tow the line than the court system. Thats why they set them up in Guantanamo.
  11. With 1 minuite to go, despite Holland doing all the attacking. Thats how they do.
  12. This should be good, Italy and France both have to win, they can't fidget and still move on. I think we can depend on holland not throwing the match, but a draw is always possible.
  13. Don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about what they did to the Arab communities, but how they were perceived by their own. They didn't kill jews generally, bearing in mind that we are talking about a handful of major organizations and splinter groups with mixed priorities. As much as the IRA they believed themselves to be part of an irregular army.
  14. That was in the middle of the British finding out the hard way that they weren't a colonial power anymore. Zionist were as much superstars or warrior poets as terrorists to the population, and apart from a few spectacular departures, such as the bombing of the King David hotel, they targeted military. Nevertheless they are typically quoted as an example of a successful terrorist campaign. Not surprisingly the other success in that region is the PLO. They called attention to themselves with high profile attacks with world wide media attention. They didn't 'win' as much as stake their claim for statehood. Without action Arafat would have been unlikely to have spoken at the UN and travel around the world as a dignitary. A really bad lesson for that region, that sometimes terror works.
  15. I don't think you understand the nature of middle east political rhetoric. This is grandstanding, not a homicidal maniac bent on self destruction. If Iran got the bomb, all the players would be more likely to take it to that extreme, not just Iran, and on the other hand, maybe a dose of cold war is exactly what the region needs. Not worth the risk of course, but as long as were playing 'what if' it would be interesting to see what would happen to the if Israel and the US were forced to take an Islamic nation seriously.
  16. Am I the only one who doesn't care who the final cylon is anymore, I mean it seems inconsequential, everybody and their grandmother is a cylon.
  17. I think the strike might have been a good turn as regards getting rid of dead tissue. I could care less about the 'truth of the opera house'. I hope they spring something new on us in the final 'season'. Although they are on earth and theres probably an opera house there somewheres.
  18. I dunno, I kinda suspect that to even get as far as a nomination you have to be a phony. I don't think either could possibly do as poorly as Bush though.
  19. The story is a real mess, but at least it's mostly free of the prophecy shtick now. Whats left is revealing who sent Kara back, I think the last episodes will revolve around this third force, no way it's 'God'. I think there will be a surviving human colony somewhere as well, just not so huge that it throws the power balance in favor of the fleet.
  20. I guess the Spanish deserved to win, defensive football rubs me the wrong way and the swedes were afraid to take chances.
  21. The Nigerian mafia dude
  22. Who are you talking about anyway? Snot boogie, they killed snot boogie man.
  23. They are the favorites now, but anything can happen in the KO phase.
  24. A terrorist campaign can only succeed in making the current power structure look ineffective and weak. It's a PR game basically. The theory then suggests that the population are so repulsed by draconian counter terrorism measures that they eventually side with the terrorists against the goverment. This has never actually happened. The problem here is that you can get used to anything, even terror bombs. A guerrilla campaign on the other hand can win simply by outlasting and surviving until all the pieces fall into place and it is in a position to capitalize. Castro fought the greater part of his campaign with a few hundred men.
