  1. Bin laden and his group is neither motivated by money or the destruction of Chistianity. He wants the US to stop it's support for Saudi Arabia and Israel, and to aid the ascendancy of Islamic extremism throughout the middle east and the world. On the latter count he has been quite successful, inspiring several sister organisations. From the US perspective of course vital interests are involved, energy, long term stability. ect. If Sadam had lived in Africa he would still be merrily warring and exterminating political rivals.
  2. He's talking out of his arse of course, in an attempt to bolster the threat posed by his organisation and to appeal to slightly more moderate coleagues and public opinion in the middle east.
  3. It's a pretty stupid scam to begin with. I mean something as unusual as a human finger can be traced back through the food preparation steps. If noone is missing one, then where the hell did it come from ?. It can be DNA mached, fingerprinted ect. A ****eroach or a maggot or something would be both smarter and easier to get a hold of.
  4. I think the premise and story is pretty stupid, I mean, Jurasic park, Indiana Jones, Castaway, resident evil - Make up your ****ing mind, you can't have it all - though i'm sure that doesen't keep the network execs from thinking themselves geniouses. The acting and characterisation is pretty solid though. Thats what makes it worthwhile.
  5. Foiled by the second cousin of the American dream, the paydirt lawsuit. It's much safer to kill someone, assuming you have the money to buy a legal superstar of course.
  6. That song always makes me twitch, supressing some potentially embarassing emotional reaction.
  7. The funkiest white man alive. Bob james: Westchester lady, Nautilus, Nigthcrawler. All php is buggered for me so I can't post his goofy face. http://images-jp.amazon.com/images/P/B0000...01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg
  8. I was writing something when the random function on my mp3 player selected Blue in Green and I kinda zoned out and my attention drited to my weedbag. it'll be nice for the story if he forgets to use italics. Shut the **** up Donny
  9. How does Jack return. As i recall he was faked his death and went underground at the ending of the last season. And yeah, the 3rd season with the drug cartel was weak. 4th season was too many deja vus. Jack working with a few acomplices against orders because the boss is a nitwit. etc, but still very good.
  10. He's the Elvis of terrorist megalomaniacs.
  11. So what material witness/suspect does Jack torture/kneecap/hamstring/garrotte/Italian necktie this time ?
  12. I hate you. We are still stuck at the last season here. It's very well thought out except that the constant cliffhanger element gets really annoying after a while.
  13. And for 10 long years we waited... For a disapoinment nearly comparable to Alien 4. All my boyhood dreams shattered with those two releases. What utter manure. Why can noone make a decent sci fi anymore.
  14. Heathen! It's got Danny Glover, Jamaican human-sacrificing gangsters and better chase sequences. Beat that with a stick.
  15. I liked predator 2 better actually.
  16. I downloaded a manga thing with buxom winged androids who shot gamma rays out their penises. It was most humorous.
  17. Naive Anti-Americanism. Isen't that an oxymoron ?
  18. If everyone followed that sensible maxim, poltical depate and campaigning as such would cease to exist.
  19. Brother's Grim collected and published Germanic and Nordic fairytales. Hans Christian Anderson wrote alegorical children's stories.
  20. Just my recolection of having had this same discussion with Di many many times. Anyway, carry on.
  21. It's comforting to know that while some things change, others do not.
  22. It's an equation in which effectiness, willingness to expose own forces, and willingness to accept 'colateral damage' are weighed against eachother. Often the variables are somewhat accurately predictable ahead of time.
  23. How many bystanders dead does it take to erase the difference between terrorism and counter terrorism. 1, 5, 100 ?
  24. So where is the video. Did it get edited out ?
  25. On some twisted level you have to admire Osama. I mean how many other evil 'geniuses' with underground lairs are left in the world these days. He might be irrelevant and sidelined, but as a symbol of the fundamentalists extremists movement he still holds a lot of power.
