So you'd rather people set up radio stations on police/ambulance/coast guard frequencies or the frequencies of their rivals and created a system whereby its impossible to listen to any single station over distances over 5 miles ?
Or you'd enjoy eating in restaurants where to save costs the owners didn't give a damn about any pesky food hygiene issues and killed you with food poisioning ?
That article is just pure speculation and appears to be written by people who are desperately searching for some evidence of a link but unable to find anything convincing.
Almost but it seems more like Captain Birds Eye making his fine and delicious Fish Fingers only compatible with his own brand Captain Birds Eye delicious Tomato Ketchup and no others. Quite how Captain Birds Eye would go about achieving this I have no idea.
You talk about no real solutions being offered but solutions to what ?
Saddam had no WMD, he was not a threat to the US or the UK. Saddam hadn't got anything to do Al Quaeda or 9/11, the only people who may have benefitted from him not being in power are the Iraqi people who weren't prospering under his regime. These people are now far worse off than they were under Saddam, dying in far greater numbers and on the brink of a civil war so the invasion certainly hasn't proved to be a solution for them.
A number of corrections needed in this thread but can we put this on a fairly low priority for amendment ( readership is generally apathetic and without influence ). Particular attention to claims this is a new department ( change to show its nothing new and has always been here ) also a number of incorrect statements about the glorious leadership require revision.
Thanks, update the log once the work is completed and flag for on-going sporadic monitoring and retroactive corrections.
If you go out and spend a lot of money on a 4x4 and then never use it then you are a fucking idiot with more money than sense and deserve to be taxed just for that fact.
There is no such thing as objective Evil, what a society sees as being evil is simply whatever the majority of people in the society think is Evil. What I think is evil may well be the total opposite of what you believe is evil, this being the case Googles motto is rather clever since it allows them to do exactly whatever they want. If it was "Do nothing which the majority of people feel is evil" then they may have to justify it more often.
Indeed, this is an important distinction which many people today could do with learning. A worrying example of people not making this distinction is the British Government and it's religious hatred laws which seem to equate a dislike of religion, which is a choice made by individuals, and racism which is not something you have any choice in. E.g. you can choose to be a muslim, christian, whatever but you can't choose to be born either black or white. Many muslims pressure groups also seem to not understand this distinction when they equate hatred of their religious choices as being racism.
Well that makes no sense at all, if God didn't actually mind how high the tower was then why would he have taken steps to make sure it didn't get any higher ?
No doubt these dedicated tower builders would still have been trying to build their towers even given the supernaturally imposed communication difficulties so God hasn't in fact stopped anyone trying to do anything, he has just stopped them from succeeding which would suggest that it was the success of such an enterprise he was worried about rather than the idea behind its inception.
You'd have thought that having spent quite a long time building the tower already and given the likleyhood that the intention was to just keep building up in the same way the lower floors had been built the workers would have been at the job for long enough to pick up what they were doing and how the process worked so as not to need much in the way of any further communication.
Also since it's highly unlikely these bronze age tower builders were ever going to build anything even half the size of buildings like The Empire State Building or mountains such as Mount Everest just how high off the ground is heaven actually situated that God is worried the tower will reach it ?
Personally I am coming to the conclusion that the bible is just a load of old bollocks and "God" is just some kind of made up figure people can use to justify their stupid actions.
I'd certainly be in a better position to judge if you were to publish the transcript. At the moment I only have your few posts in this thread to judge you by and as I said it seems to me that you become aggressive and unpleasant remarkably quickly when faced with anything you don't agree with.
If everyone here is making incorrect assumptions based the information you have provided then that should be some indication that you could benefit by making your communications a little clearer.
The instances I have heard of involving McDonalds stores being wrecked have been during various anti-capitalist demonstrations a few years ago.
You ask "Why McDonalds ? Surely, oh surely it is because they are American and all the world hates America."
Leaving aside the other shops, businesses and properties also vandalised during these demonstrations I think that unless you have any convincing evidence to the contrary it's likely that McDonalds weren't especially singled out for destruction for being American as being an example of the kind of multi national capitalism which a local Kebab shop is not. That and the fact they had the misfortune to be in the protestors path.
I think you mentioned earlier on McDonalds being destroyed in the Middle East, it's quite likely a lot of people there don't have any love for America and destroying McDonalds may seem like a good idea to them but I am unaware of the details of any such activity so can't really comment.
- Kebabs are lovely, you prefer burgers. No you can't come around and destroy my local kebab shops. Most people I know do not say things like "we don't like this foreign food let's throw it out of our country" they say "Oh good, a new food shop. Let's try it". Maybe you're different, I don't know.
- Who cares where the sent, most of the ingredients will be bought locally, the shops lease will be paid for, utilities such as gas, electricity will be bought and in many cases the owners will live somewhere in the community with their family.
- Who can tell the time ? You obviously failed to understand this phrase. In general Kebab shop owners seem to work in the shop, they interact with the shops and businesses next to them, they are friendly to their customer because they have a personal, genuine interest in them returning and the service they provide is more personal and more genuine - they are more likely to be willing to stop and chat with you. As for you wanting to destroy "unfriendly foreign food shops", you are an idiot and with that attitude it's not surprising you find people to be unfriendly.
- Kebabs and Falafels certainly seem to be healthier and better for you than McDonalds food, not to mention often being tastier and better for you to boot. You want facts, go and visit one and see for yourself if you can bring yourself to enter a "Non American Business".
At the beginning of this I was on your side, "Yeah it was probably the coders fault this guy was having all these problems" I was thinking to myself. Now, reading your increasingly foaming at the mouth, aggressive and rude replies I begin to wonder if the real cause of these problems is not your ability to communicate clearly and professionally.
Muppet, so far as I have been taught in history lessons America was colonised by people from Europe who were seeking a better life for themselves in "The New World". They sailed over there and set up a small colony which then exploited the local environment to send back profitable goods to their backers in Europe.
I think it's fair to say that these colonies mixed far more with themselves than they did with the native population and would have seemed very insular to any native on lookers.
Time passes and the colonies grow in size annexing more and more land which was once the property of the native people.
I would hope that the majority of Americans wouldn't be the xenophobic sheep like morons their government appears to be and able to make up their own minds as to whether a particular person can bring added value to their community or not based on more than prejudicial attitudes based on religion and misinformation about the whichever country they are hoping to emigrate from.
The difference is that kebabs are lovely, the shops are usually owned by families, not huge multinational organisations, the staff and owners will give you the time of day and kebab shops usually offer some fairly healthy food.
Firstly most national news agencies, e.g. the BBC are funded through the government but are free to collect their funding and spend it however they wish. It's not the case that the government can set their day to day funding depending on how much they like the content.
Secondly large media conglomerates serve two purposes, firstly to generate their owners income and secondly to broadcast or print whatever viewpoint will serve to earn their owners the maximum amount of profit or provide leverage to expand their empire in the direction they wish. The desire of the public for impartial reporting is not a concern, provided the content can be packaged acceptably for the majority of people to buy it is all that's required.
Given that you are not planning on selling IE 7 and the fact that there are already other browsers on the market which can allow Windows users to experience the web fully why is Microsoft investing so much time and effort in continuing the development of IE ?
I would berate my parents for their being no food in the fridge and send them out to get a chinese or something.
OR
Of course there is no food in the fridge. There is no food in the fridge because I have guessed all my friends would once again be arriving unannounced ( the jokers ) and have already taken all the food out of the fridge and cooked a delicious 3 course meal for 10. So Mr Interviewer, hah what do you say to that then eh !
OR
My friends are all supermodels, when they say "Coming around to eat" what they actually mean is they're coming around to do cocaine and I always have plenty of that.

Duh ! Potatoes aren't designed to sail about the place but ships are.
"There is no one solution and there are a lot of variables to consider which is why obesity is such a problem."
But there is a very simple solution which will work for everyone. Eat less food or do more excercise.
If you go out and spend a lot of money on a 4x4 and then never use it then you are a fucking idiot with more money than sense and deserve to be taxed just for that fact.
You know what they say; "divide and conquer"
