    Intervention sounds good, but it practically always seems to go wrong.

    Those nine are the official number, released by the junta. There are no reliable sources for casualties.

    This is crunchtime, either the demonstrations will lead to a critical mass, emboldening the demonstrators and paving the way for regime change, or it will peter out and there will be a random round of arrests and convctions.
  4. I don't think people with no experience of violence and war are unable to surmise what it's about. It has always been a basic function of humanity after all.
  5. Jimmi never wrote any war songs, dunno about Elvis. But really, a war song by Elvis, probably a good thing I don't know about it. Funny thing about Hendrix, somehow he retains a left wing image, Purple Haze is supposed to be about Vietnam, it ain't, Hendrix himself made it clear several times in interviews that he wanted communism to be fought actively. Hej Dude is supposed to be an anti-gun anthem, it ain't, it's a blues song with a very common blues theme, 'ohh woe is Joe, he shot his girlfriend'. It's very Woody Leadbelly and not political at all.
  6. So it's basically like that intentionally bad Zombie movie Quintin tarantino made, the name escapes me.
  7. So you would have to be a professional soldier/rockstar. Aren't many of those around, and that James Blunt, wasen't he stationed in Bosnia, sings emo lovesongs.
  8. Congrats
  9. Wasn't having health problems recently? I am thinking this is more of a mid-life crisis situation. Our Wals is trying to live out his youthful fantasies one more time before he admits to himself that he's old. And DR, as much as I like The Doors, the lyrics to their songs really aren't poetry. Besides, it's just not the same without Morrison's trademark wailing. Well his mid life crisis seems to be keeping him fit, better than buying a ferari anyway.
  10. There should be one ringtone for fire and another one for crazed gunman, that way people will know whether to run or barricade themselves. Maybe a weapons cache next to the fire extinguishers, 'break in case of maniac'
  11. So, who will give me odds on Walsh washing out miserably ...
  12. That the same genious who lost all the horse on a forced march, no water ?
  13. Waht
  14. What kind of deal is this, a lot of lying around in a hole in the the ground and yet more marching and shouting. The fitness test ?, cause let me tell you, you aren't gonna have the breath for any poetry mantras.
  15. You need to motivate the tetosterone, I suggest the one about eskimo, 'parts', being 'migthy cold'.
  16. Never heard of him
  17. It doesen't kill the cows, it just makes their meat and milk unsellable.
  18. It's offsite, I have no idea where. Is there an option to upload here ?
  19. It's only a matter of time isen't it, the way proliferation is going. The benifits og gaining nukes are obvious as are the rewards. Press on with the programme and when you have the nukes there are no sanctions or threats that will be the least bit relevant. So it would follow that we can expect every single problem state with suficient resources to gain them at some point in the future, that has to increase the chances of one going unaccounted for exponentially.
  20. Actually i'm not incorrect. Airbourne just means it can survive longer than a few seconds in the air, if someone coughs on you thats plenty, and it also says it's comunicable through skin. It does say that it's preventable with hygene though.
  21. It's comunicable through contact, or a couch from people who happen to be bleeding from every orifice. No cuts necessary to transmit it through the skin. When you consider the possibe number of infections it doeesen't take that much to completely overwhelm the medical services, we saw this with SARS in Asia.
  22. If you don't have the propper gear to protect yourself, certainly, the last time not many did. African hospitals are not exactly known for having resources.
  23. The reason it hasen't left the congo is that the carriers simply die off before the chain reaction of infection gets very far. We are fortunate that not many people in the congo fly to international hubs. Something like this in a metropolis would be next to unstoppable.
  24. I assume you know the one about making baked schicken taste like fried chicken by coating it with cheese and breadcrumbs? News to me, but I do stuff aubergines. They never expect that one. Well, untill i've done it once already.
