The majority of strippers don't look all that good naked either;) The novelty of the experience combined with low lightning and alcohol is usually enough to make up for this however.....
Very true, I know a guy who sells pot. He is always bragging about how much money he makes
If he's selling drugs (even something as harmless as pot) while running around town bragging about it, he's likely to discover that his cost of doing business will be going up soon.....
I'm not a big fan of a war on drugs but I don't have much sympathy for someone that mind numbingly stupid either. I always used to suspect that a friend of mine had a grow-operation going on -- but I never asked and she never told. If you are going to get involved in anything like that the first rule you learn is to keep your fucking mouth shut.
This is also one of the reasons why there are more phishers in poorer nations.
Don't worry, Obama is gonna fix that. He'll pass tax incentives to help encourage businessmen to keep those phishing and bot-net writing jobs here in America;)
he Gazans are fighting back because they have been under siege for a year and a half
They wouldn't be under siege if they hadn't elected a movement whose charter calls for the destruction of Israel. If you were Israel would you want to make it easy for Hamas to smuggle in offensive weaponry?
The Palestinians are just pawns for the Arabs, who are only posturing as anti-Israel to quell their own internal radicals.
Ding ding ding! Give the parent a cookie.
If it wasn't for the distraction of "Palestinian suffering" the Arab leaders might actually have to answer some tough questions at home. Nothing better to distract a populace from your own corruption and oppression than to blame it all on some external (real or imagined) enemy.
I also agree that divine intervention should not be a qualification in granting real estate to a group of people...
What "divine intervention"? Divine intervention may have been the motivation for certain Jews moving to that region (although not all of them, particularly after the holocaust) but the fact remains that there was a substantial Jewish population living in the area when the UN partitioned it. The Arabs refused to accept the partition and decided to contest it militarily. Israel soundly defeated them on the field of battle and we've been living with the consequences ever since.
Religious motivations may have encouraged some people to move there in the first place but I don't think the UN vote to partition the land was based on the Hebrew God descending from the heavens and stuffing the ballot box.....
So, it is supposed to be tracking the travelers but S^HDHS
is getting IP address information when a flight is booked.
Actually, what I want to know is why they are bothering to track the IP but not the time that the tickets were bought? If the time of purchase was tracked I don't see it on any of these papers. Isn't knowing the IP without knowing the time that the user was using that IP (remember dynamic IPs are the norm) kind of useless?
in all cases they would have lost had it not been for help by a much more powerfull ally thousands of miles away
Umm, Israel prevailed in 1948 with very little help from the outside World and in 1967 with almost no help from the United States. Most of Israel's weaponry in the early years came from France, not the US.
But in any case, currently their old enemy is the best chance, aka egypt
You don't think that substantial numbers of loyalists moved to Canada just because they loved king George a whole lot, do you?
Revolutions aren't for the faint of heart and war is always hell. Nevertheless I think the comparison between Washington and terrorists whom purposefully target civilians is absurd.
How 'bout this? [introversion.co.uk] Even runs on Linux!
I've actually already got it. It's a pretty slick game. Wish they had a 'realism' mode with no anti-missile defenses and realistic subs (a real boomer can unload hundreds of warheads in a minute or so -- not five warheads in 10 minutes) but what can you do?
If 3 men rob a bank, and the SWAT team has to storm it, and innocent people die, do you blame the SWAT team, or the bank robbers? Any harm that comes to someone as a result of your criminal actions is your fault.
Some of the liberals around here whom are condemning Israel would likely be upset if the SWAT team dared to use deadly force. The robbers should have been captured alive no matter how many innocent people they kill or how many shots they take at law enforcement.....
Like the SWAT team, the IDF tries to minimize civilian casualties (called collateral damage in military matters), but should NOT be held responsible for those deaths.
Indeed. How often do the Palestinians phone the pizzeria ahead of time and warn everybody therein that it's about to be attacked and they should get out?
To be fair, considering what the Jewish people have gone through in the last few thousand years, I'd wager the siege mentality predates the state of Israel.
No doubt. But being invaded threedifferenttimes isn't very likely to end that siege mentality is it?
Well, he is an extremist but he actually hit one valid point, IMHO:
Lost some of their land in an ass-backward attempt to conquer Israel
People seem to forget that Israel has been attacked by her neighbors three or four times in the last 60 years. Is it any wonder that they have a siege mentality?
Naw, this conversation about the Middle East will be totally different from the last three or four we've had. Mark my works: Peace will break out in the Middle East and it will eventually be traced back to this one slashdot discussion;)

Of course, George Washington also helped to ruthlessly exterminate the natives of the land he lived on
Those natives also sided with the British and raided civilian settlements along the western frontier. You join a war you takes your chances.....

It's a shame that we don't live in a world that contains a worldwide network of information where answers to many questions can easily be found.
Even if such a network existed I'd wager that people would just use it to find porn.

Hezbollah are almost as impressive as the IDF is when it comes to what they can do with so few people
Take the kid gloves off the IDF and I don't think Hezbollah's results would have been as "impressive"
because they are a bunch of trouble makers and always have been
And I'm the one who gets a troll mod? Got any other bits of racism that you'd care to share with us?

Eh, I was just giving you grief. I just added you to my friends list :) I wish I could remember the password to my old 5 digit account.... :(
I still have nobody in my foes list
I haven't gained any new foes in awhile. Clearly I must be doing something wrong....
Well, they aren't declared enemy combatants but they are held to account for the laws they break.....
Same goes George Washington
George Washington managed to fight for American independence without blowing up women and children in downtown London.......

No doubt. But being invaded three different times isn't very likely to end that siege mentality is it?

Well how else do you expect those of us without landlines and acoustic-coupler modems to play global thermonuclear war?

You know, I never thought of that before but your absolutely right. Pretty interesting how that happens isn't it?
