I subside entirely on coffe and cigarettes

It's holy jhad porn. Chicks posing with bomb vests and AKs.

Basing civil law on religion is biggotry, no two ways about it.

Doesent sound like a bad gig being a Saudi citizen, sit around on your ass and have the princes shower you with wealth to preserve an anacronistic system of governence

The irony is that as a whole, Europe can only be described as very keenly aware of the Palestinean situation and considerably critical of the overal Israli strategy. Kids will be kids, it's one thing to showboat, actually strapping a bomb to yourself takes a great deal more conviction, or a great deal more desperation and depression.

I thought he was talking about the new playstation or something. Anyway congratulations, and say goodbye to sleep for a couple of years.

In the loosest definition

Growling like that will destroy your voice, but hey if that was the goal to begin with. I don't understand metal of any deviation. It all seems so 80s and well, silly.

Complete hogwash.

yes, quite, in order to become a vampire you have to drink the blood of a vampire, who then becomes your master. Merely being bitten is analogous to a charm spell that will enable the vampire to feed on that same vicim again with ease.

Ehh.. He had his moment standing up to the Communist coup, and deserves part of the credit for turning Russia in a more democratic direction,but wasen't rather more the incompetent drunk while in office,

St. George is the patron saint of England, don't know what he did that was saintly.

By Crom !

Hhaha you look like every guy I know.

At least you stopped raping that dead horse, good for you.

He can have his lollipop. I know full well what the bill of rights, the declaration of independence and the constitution are, and here he goes again, fishing for cheap points. Sorry council, you have already made your discredit argument, simply repeating it over and over again will not increas its effect.

What do you want, a lollypop, I know what the declaration of indepencence is. I just couldn't remember the where the phrase originated from, American history was 4 years ago, my memory is not perfect.. 'We hold these truths to be self evident' is somewhat close. Is that the best you have, salivating repetatively over a simple mistake ?

All that running around is dangerous. Especially if yer not built for it, like me. I have a tendency to twist my right foot and trip as I run, those special inlays didn't really solve the problem.

yeah yeah don't you think you have milked that enough already

It was a deralment kinda thing.

ehh ? http://www.law.indiana.edu/uslawdocs/declaration.html I like this one even better 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,'

Of course liberty is at odds with slavery, they were not sufficently dense to deny the obvious even then, however the conclusion of those ideals of freedom, and they were intended in word and spirit to be universal - in many senses the inspiration for the French revolution - could not be drawn because political and economical necessity demanded slavery. The declaration of indepencence goes, 'we the people...' the people. The suggestion that neither blacks or women for that matter are people is a logical falacy. That is all, I have not argued that slavery is this or that as you have suggested. So, when you look back on that piece of paper remember that the words are infinitely less important than the hard won victories that have come since. Than the historical determination of the supreme court to fulfill the promise.

That is how most Americans feel about it, and indeed should the law of the land not reflect the majority. That doesen't mean that you can't all be wrong though

that doesn't make sense at all. personal liberty and slavery are not irreconcilable. the rights provided by the constitution cannot infringe upon inalienable rights, of which life and freedom stand highest, and the "right" to slavery would most definitely infringe upon another's freedom. taks There was no inalienable right unless you were part of the elite when the consititution was written. And liberty and slavery are quite obviously opposites. Liberty and freedom from opression were the the same ideas as those embodies in the french revolution, only the 'citizens' were merely the ruling elite, not the breath of society. They barely even qualified as the bourgeois class that characterise the end of feudalism seeing how such a large percentage of them lived like supreme lords on their plantations. Until you take those ideals to their ultimate conclusion, an egalitarian democracy, they remain unfulfilled and self contradictory, which is why I put the watermark some time around the end of the civil rights movement.

One might even say that all the high browed talk of freedom and liberty doesen't mean a damn thing before about the end of the civili rights movement. The constitution had to be a comprimise between two concepts that are in reality completely unreconcilable ; the notion of liberty, personal and social, and slavery. It illustrates the point about human rights rather well though, liberty used to apply exclusively to male white landowners and has slowly been extended to cover everyone. The story of the American constitution and civil liberty is one that starts in hypocricy and ends in the logical conclusion. Still subject to degenerate though.
