The thread of world events

Berlusconi lost the elections in Italy.

 

 

And Iran is kind of threatening to wipe Israel off the map.

 

 

That stuff about the pyramids in Bosnia seems like a load of crap to me.

For you.

This is old news, apparently, dating back to last october. Rather, this week was when they unearthed geometrically cut stone slabs that appear to make up the sloping surface.

Why? Are they going to convert them into bombers?

[alanschu]

Maybe they feel like they needed more commercial airliners??

[Oerwinde]

a 5th person has entered the Liberal Party leadership running in Canada. Whoo!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Are they the party that lost in the latest elections?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yes. They lost based on the Conservative campaign that the Liberals were untrustworthy and all they did was reward their friends. Then the first thing the Conservatives did was lure a Liberal to their side with a cabinet post and appoint an unelected friend of the party to another cabinet post. They then reversed the low income tax exemptions the Liberals put into place so they could lower the GST by 1% now and another 1% in the next 3 years. Basically saving us 25 cents on a latte. They also reversed the Liberal child care plan which would supply a free public child care system, and instead is giving out 1200 bucks a year for child care, which comes down to something like 25 bucks a week, which is just a fraction of the cost of child care. They also were going to support a US invasion of Iran, but backed out of that after some public backlash. Basically, nothing good has come from their government so far.

 

Go NDP.

[alanschu]

So in other words, the conservative government is exactly on par with every other government we've had in the past few decades.

Well thank you all for updating me

 

Now, if you excuse me, I have to go downtown and bet on this weekend soccer matches

Nepal is heading for civil war, with the population demanding that the King abdicate.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Yeah just saw it on CNN...the thing that pissed me most were the communist flags amongst the crowd. If this revolution means that the Maoist communist are going to be in power, then I'm 100% with the king. Anyone and anything is better then the commies.

Berlusconi lost ...no matter, Prodi's goverment will last no more then 2 to 4 months. Me thinks there are going to be new elections in 2006/2007.

 

Well Iran has been saying that for the last 30 years, but not so publicly as they do now.

 

And we shall see what's up with this Bosnia thing.

[Kaftan Barlast]

You think Berlusconi losing is a bad thing?

[Hildegard]

You think Berlusconi losing is a bad thing?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The reasons are personal.....let's just say some of my friends will be making less money, because there won't be any corrupt Berlusconi's officials to be bribed in order to pass some more then profitable contracts under the table. :D

 

Other then that, I'm against Berlusconi....but that leftist Prodi makes me wanna puke, he will turn out to be totaly incompetent and useless like all Italian left.

 

 

PS - Now I sound like a greedy corrupt bastard

I wasn't doubting the posts here about the pyramids. I had already seen a news item on TV about the subject and the whole thing seemed a bit strange. How did the pyramids get lost in history? Who built the pyramids? How were such huge monuments constructed 12000 years ago? Doesn't this mean the pyramids were built before the discovery of agriculture? It just doesn't add up.

[Walsingham]

I think we should start and obsidian forums news service. Anchormen pelting each other with peanuts and other less savoury substances on air.

Insufficient dusting?

Who built the pyramids?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

People.

How were such huge monuments constructed 12000 years ago?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Someone had lots of extra cash sitting around, and decided to pay some other fit people to build it.

Doesn't this mean the pyramids were built before the discovery of agriculture? It just doesn't add up.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe they ate seafood.

[Dark Moth]

The Atlanteans built it. That is the only logical explanation.

[julianw]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's not the only logical explanation! Personally, I prefer another one: some 8-year-old kid in 3009 was bored, so he decided to travel back in time and stack a few stones.

Hence my support of the NDP. Once they're in power and they do the exact same thing we can be 100% sure that it doesn't matter one bit who's in power and we can all stop voting.

[metadigital]

That's precisely what they want ...

[Dark_Raven]

Who built the pyramids?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

People.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh no that is incorrect. Aliens built the pyramids. Humans were far too stupid to create those. Even now in this technological day in age we could not build such perfection.

I didn't say who designed them, I said who built them. "

Humans= slave labor

Aliens= Intelligence behind the Great Pyramids and other great works like Stonehedge.

12000 old pyrmid? Blasphemy!

The earth is only 10 thousand years old hah.

Adam must have built it, he was 15 ft tall and tlived amost to be 1000 years old, enough time to build it himself.

Speaking of pyrmids, heres one I'd like to build -

Here's an interesting fact for ye: the Egyptian Pyramids could be almost twice as old as expected, which would put their age at about 10,000 years, which predates Egyptian civilization. Food for thought.

[Lucius]

Yeah, but Scientology and their Xenu galatic overlord thingie is still ****ed up.
