Axioms must exist to serve a purpose. For example take the axiom "any mumber multiplied by one is itself". This axiom makes sense because it's possible to build a comprehensive algebra based on it (and a handful of other axioms) using nothing but deductive logic.
I and many other people refuse to accept your axiom because it serves no purpose and frankly it's a silly axiom to begin with.
Yes. But before GW took office it was unthinkable. That's what I mean. American politics are fickle. One day president dick cheney (shudder) could decide that the french smell bad and need to be occupied and the american people would all salute him.
I don't think you realize how much republicans hate the europeans.
I kind of like Delphi way of making you put the interface on top of the module. When you are programming it's kind of a pain but when you want to use somebody elses modules or even your own modules that you wrote long time ago it's awsome to have all the function signatures listed on top of the file.
There are many things in delphi that annoy me to no end but that's one aspect that I really like.
Doesn't it seem odd to you that MS is stooping such silly tactics? Are they admitting that they have no real convincing argument to make for windows so they compare a mainframe to a PC? And funding these so called "thinktanks", what's the point? Are they ashamed to defend windows themselves?
It looks like they have completely thrown in the towel and are just grasping at straws. It would be sad if it wasn't so funny.
Don't laugh. It could happen. Nobody thought we would invade and occupy iraq either.
And no I don't think we would instantly stop killing people. It would be a gradual process whereby little by little we would be forced to cut military spending which would mean we would stop killing people. It would take a while but it would happen.

I don't know if your post is meant to defend the system or damn it.
What you seem to be saying is that the court system has very little to do with facts and the law and everything to do with the "prevailing attitude".
As I said you have choices. Every dollar you spend is more important then your vote. Maybe the fact that you don't have local companies making soda, cars, music etc is that your own population does not support them. Maybe if the people of NZ decided to help their own economy instead of other economies then you'd be better off.
Finally even in foreign prodicts you have a choice. Don't choose a holden (a GM owned company) choose a toyota instead. I did a quick googling and it looks like Bush is really fucking you guys over because you did not support his war. He is giving fat contracts to Aus while he won't even sign a free trade agreement with you. If you can't avoid american products for that then you deserve what you get.
I don't mean to be harsh, the people I met in NZ were awsome but come on now. How can you disagree so much with a govt and then support it by buying products made in that govt?
I know it's contraversial but IMHO OJ should have been aquitted. I watched the trial obsessively and quickly came to the conclusion that OJ murdered his wife and her friend AND the police tried to frame him. The police probably realized that the case would be hard to prove so they doctored the crime scene and planted the glove.
Under these circumstances even the guilty should be aquitted so as not to incentivise the police to plant evidence.
You'd be shocked at the value of an organized and vocal boycott. It's great that you have a trade surplus but you have to let the US know why. A boycott of coke and pepsi and nike and holywood would make GW sit up and pay attention. He doesn't give a shit about your protests but he cares if the CEO of pepsi calls him up and complains that they are losing money.
As long as you like to watch american films and listen to american music then you help america fund it's military. It is billions of people like you all over the world who buy american products that help us occupy iraq and afghanistan.
Thank you for buying american products and helping us spend more on the military then the rest of the word combined. Your buying of american products will also help us out one day when we decide to occupy europe.
As long as you buy american products we don't care that you hate our policies. You can hate our policies all you want, just keep giving us money so we can make more weapons and fuck you whenever we want.
GW does not give a shit about protesters. HE does care if the US corporations lose money because people are boycotting them. I don't care if you like pepsi or not as long as you are drinking it you are helping to fund the american military machine.
It's not that hard. You have choices every day. If you can't avoid buying american that's one thing but surely there is a company in NZ that makes soda, there are NZ musicians, there are NZ made movies aren't there? I was in NZ once and everybody was drinking coke and listening to american songs. It was a like a suburb of america not another country.
When you buy coke you are helping america. Maybe some of the money you pay goes to support local companies but some goes to the US. Aren't there european soda makers? Why not drink one of those and have no money coming to the US.
Trust me a european boycott of american products will have a HUGE impact on US foreign policy.
If you are familiar with his writings you will know that he was not kidding at all. Republicans hate france THAT much.
"And it certainly wouldn't increase the chance of the EU to do Americas bidding, quite the opposite..."
I've said it before elsewhere on this thread. As long as you continue to buy american products we don't give a flying fuck what you do. Keep pouring money into our economy, we'll turn that into weapons and fuck you whenever we want.
Wow. An entire web site dedicated t hating france. The irony is rich however and the link you point to accuses the french of hating israel. I guess to them it's OK to hate one country but not the other.
Ironically the Bush administration (and republicans in general) hates the germans and the french too. I thought it was very funny when Wes Pruden (an editor of that moonie publication washington times) attempted to insult John Kerry by calling him "french looking".
I wonder if the Bush administration will apply political pressure on the french and the germans to accept these patents? Charles Krauthammer (another republican editor from US news and world report) once called for parking an US aircraft carrier off the coast of france to intimidate them. It will be interesting to see if something like that happens.
"My point was that he did not object to his diciples wearing them in the first place"
And you interpolate from that the fact that Jesus is not anti war? Seems like a stretch to me.
"huh? How about a verse reference."
My bad that was Paul (Deuteronomy 23:15-16). Of course the bible is full of references to slavery such as Leviticus 25:44-46, Exodus 21:2-6, Exodus 21:7-11, Ephesians 6:5 , 1 Timothy 6:1-2, Luke 12:47-48 and even a few passages in mark and mathew. It's clear from even a cursory reading of the bible that god had no objections to slavery whatsoever.
"Reread some of the OT the israelis were always attacking or being attacked. They were conquered at two or three times at least. Egyptians, Romans, Babylonia all conquered Israel."
So? What does that have to do with anything? God kills lots of people for very silly reasons (mostly because they don't listen to him). He flooded the earth and killed just about every living being!. Not just people, animals and plants too!. That's just one instance, how about sodom and gomorrah? the tower of babel. It goes on and on. God kills people left and right and whats worse helps the israelites kill many more and commands them kill.
As I said god is kind of sicko in the bible. Satan comes off smelling like rose compared to god.
I don't know why jesus didn't admonish one of his followers for cutting off an ear, perhaps for the same reason that he returned a slave to his owner. That being he was not all that "good" according to our morality. Maybe he was all for slavery who knows.
As for the old testament I think we are talking about different things. In the OT it's god that does the killing and the commanding of genocide and mass murder. Perhaps to you jesus and god are the same thing but not to me. I tend to believe that jesus was a human being who was a philospher and a wise and kind man but he was not god.
I agree with you that the god of the old testament is a psychotic schitzophrenic mass murderer though. He does some sick shit.

Do you mean to say that the products made in the US and shipped all the way to NZ are cheaper then products made in NZ, Aus or even Japan?
That seems weird.
Don't laugh. It could happen. Nobody thought we would invade and occupy iraq either.
And no I don't think we would instantly stop killing people. It would be a gradual process whereby little by little we would be forced to cut military spending which would mean we would stop killing people. It would take a while but it would happen.

What you seem to be saying is that the court system has very little to do with facts and the law and everything to do with the "prevailing attitude".
There is a profound difference between a trade deficit and an organized, vocal boycott. A boycott would make a difference.
As I said you have choices. Every dollar you spend is more important then your vote. Maybe the fact that you don't have local companies making soda, cars, music etc is that your own population does not support them.

As long as they drink pepsi, eat mcdonalds, listen to britney spears, run windows, and go to see shrek 2 nobody gives a shit.
They can do anything they want. As long as they buy american products we win.
If they do then it's all just hot air. Until the rest of the world stops buying american products they will suffer under our "leadership".
People of the world. Get your shit together.
Do not buy american products.
Do not go to american movies.
Do not listen to american music.
Do not wear american clothing.
People in the US laugh at you every time they see a protestor wearing a pepsi shirt or eating a mcdonalds.
