I notice an AC comments on the irony of a jewish guy decrying SS but trivialising treatment of Muslims, of course I don't know if you are jewish and don't care. (Though since someone just set me as foe perhaps I should spell out that I don't support Nazis or the slaughter of people)
Now, I've wasted enough time on this, let me just say that as far as I am concerned your reply just proved me right. You "try to do right" yet in the next paragraph you try to justify the human rights violations at Guantanamo but putting it down, trying to ridicule it, dismissing it as silly nonsense. Because you are Righteous, because your side is, and the other side asked for it or are silly.
Btw, note well: You can't not care - that's still takeing a side and that can be dangerous in a democracy. BinLaden and his lot see it this way: You live in a democracy and if you don't do something about the politicians who interfere in their countries then you sanction it, and are legal targets.
(Note for the hard of reading: I don't think Binladen is a hero or that he is right to fly into buildings and generally blow people up all over the place)
Oh, and don't say:
and we are not a democracy we are a constitutional republic.
It makes you look like a fool (one of the problems of democracies is of course that so many people are fools who don't know what is going on).
Democracy and Republic are not mutually exclusive, like Car and Road are not. Iraq before the war was a republic - see a lot of similarities do you? They were a non-democratic republic.
The USA has a presidency rather than a monarchy, that makes it a republic, the government is elected by the people that makes it a democracy. A country can be both or neither or either one but not the other.
Well, if you weren't anon I might have explained (and no, 40Tude is not an excellent newsreader, it has a ton of shortcommings - not the least of which is the discrimination against visually impaired people)
Not about the python, but about the modding tools, they kept promising it for Battlefield 1 and people waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited...
I know you are just an idiot AC who will never read the reply, but the truth is: ART IS SUBJECTIVE. Just because one person doesn't like doesn't mean its crap.
For example it is perfectly legal to download music or video for personal use in the EU
No it isn't. They have signed the same copyright treaties like the US - you don't think the entertainment industries wouldn't remember to buy those politicians as well?
No. They were ordinary men. Do not ever paint some people as *EVIL*, because you paint yourself as a saint and above reproch. Everybody thinks he is Righteous no matter what they do. The US may not have gassed people at Guantanamo but most of the world consider the treatment torture. And the supposed democracy of American turned it's cheek and said "We are good and righteous and justified and they probably deserved it anyway, besides we wouldn't do anything really wrong since we are good and the evil are always someone other than us" That's what they said in Germany so long ago. Humans are Humans, and we all have the potential for being evil in us - if you deny that, you are closer to the fall than those who recognize it as the truth.
No they didn't. North Korea's Yongbyan reactor is only good for about 5 megawatts electric (30 MWthermal); it does not even have power lines running to it.
And why are there no lines, could it because the US didn't want to help them build it,eh?
The most interesting thing about religion is how it manages to survive in one form or another throughout so much change. One would think that humans getting such a handle on the science of life and physics would have obliterated religion, but it keeps on truckin' all the same.
Because nobody has done anything to solve the problem (indeed a lot of people don't recognize it as a problem) - its a psyhological one. People invent a "Father" in the heavens, he is the grown up so they don't have to. The world is scary enough as it is, so its easy and comforting to cling to this notion that someone waster than you are watching over it all (will take the responsibly when you won't) and catch you when you make that final fall.
To truely get rid of religion we'd probably have to build the Humane Society, where people do not fear, are not abused, mistreated - something which is not likely to happen anytime soon.
I think BSG is going to be around for a long time. The SciFi Channel is not aiming for a big national hit like Friends or something. They know (and their advertisers know) just about how big an audience that network has and that it won't get much bigger.
Except that rumour has it that NBC are considering showing it instead...
The only time programmers spent time optimizing their source code to be as fast as possible was on the Amiga - since then its they just use bloatware compilers, and you get what you get.
Except for everywhere. Have you never read the US Constitution?
Yes, and you miss the point: Real laws define what the cover, but it never defines what "a state" is - so anything could be called a state if the others agree - even a commonwealth.

Don't forget. And vote for someone who will do something about it.
Sigh - why do I try.

The UK is a democratic monarchy.
Saudi Arabia is a non-democratic monarchy.
The USA is a democratic republic.

What i want to know is why you are suddenly a freak - strange world.
Not about the python, but about the modding tools, they kept promising it for Battlefield 1 and people waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited ...
"Who was I to criticize?"
The truth is the truth.

..but the SS were truly sadistic, evil men ..
No. They were ordinary men. Do not ever paint some people as *EVIL*, because you paint yourself as a saint and above reproch. Everybody thinks he is Righteous no matter what they do.

Hold on, the MPAA can tell me what to do when I'm not even American?
No, but they could tell the Yard and they'd be on you like a ton of bricks.
The police state back on track - you had us worried there for a moment.
Seriously though, tracking body parts is fine since they're donated "inventory", but tracking a human is a different matter entirely.
You need to donate body parts to study in the US? No wonder so many don't get an education.
They'll put them on the cards as well!
Its really quite simple, the first thing we have to do... oooh World of Warcraft...
... it appears that Google does good. The only bad thing I can think of is their Google Groups 2 which should be sent into outer space and nuked.
What does it matter if it's true or not? Kim Jong Il admitting to having WMDs is already more proof than was necessary to invade Irak...
When Bush invades - can Kim Jong Il hit Hollywood with his nukes?
"Korea - we want to develop nuclear power "
No they didn't. North Korea's Yongbyan reactor is only good for about 5 megawatts electric (30 MWthermal); it does not even have power lines running to it.
And why are there no lines, could it because the US didn't want to help them build it,eh?
You don't believe Washington turned hostile in 2001, do you?
No, that would be in 1790 wasn't it?
actually, if you read the book, the cylons were an alien race (not a product of).
Oh yeah, that sounds plausible: "And the Holy bolt fittede itself with the virgin screw and thus was created...2
Religion - yep, have issues with religious people.
Politics - yep, have issues with politicians.
Sex - what's that?
So, 2 out of 3 - am i still a people? *G*

Religious issues in science fiction are the most interesting things you can look at.
If you are psychologist.
It was filmed documentary-style purposefully.
I don't know what kind of amateurs documentary makes you get over there, but I've never seen a documentary filmed by someone with Parkinsons.
You might not like it (I find it effective, adding more grit and depth), but don't mistake it for amateur work.
He never called it that - its well know that the only amateur positions they fill in Hollywood is that of writers and actors.
