I'm thinking the United Nations could help... it could be a United Nations Criminal Law Enforcement Commission.
Or, to abbreviate it, The UNCLE Commission. I am not sure if you are being serious or not, but thinking the UN could solve terrorism is hilarious, I predict it would mostly be uppity judges in Europe issuing warrants for US. governors who sign death warrants for capital crimes. Not much of a solution.
things will change once europe starts to unite properly; Careful what you wish for my friend, or should I say tovarish, looking at the demographics by the time Europe unites it will be as a caliphate not a commonwealth of democratic nations.
Unless they are landing on our shores, we shan't be fighting wars So I guess you are taking a hands off approach to Darfur then? Since there is little danger the Janjaweed will be storming the ports of Boston, New York, or Norfolk anytime soon.
Carlson is still fixated with Bill Clinton. Tucker is not rational. Tucker is considered mainstream. Considering how well Bill's wife is doing running for president as a 1.5 term Senator as her only elected office, I'd say Tucker isn't the only one fixated with Bill Clinton.
Iran was on *our* side after 9-11. Wanting blue jeans, and ipods doesn't make them on our side. And your half right Ahmadinejad was elected as a reformer, not as a bulwark against the US. The only reason he is popular is b/c of the axis of evil speech. Still it is kind of silly to talk about fighting Islamic terrorism and not mention one of the largest state sponsors or someone who has called your country the Great Satan
Considering the successes of Keith Olbermann, The Daily Show and the like, it seems that the MSM is realizing that far-right stances are not as viable anymore. Tucker Carlson may be canceled soon, a step in the right direction! You do realize given how blatantly partisan Keith, Jon and the like are, that only Tucker will be the to say the emperor has no clothes if a Dem. President was in power. Talks with Iran, North Korea and Hammas will be established. Been there done that still nothing changed. N. Korea cheated on their part of the deal or have you forgotten the '90s already? No the real answer as to what the future will be like is meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Oh some of the European leaders may say some nice things about whomever is elected, but the substantive issues that divide Europe and the US will remain.
I'm getting my son EU citizenship and teaching him French. Hopefully that's enough to ease his transition to a new continent. Not to rain on your parade, but you should also teach him how to make smores from the car fires as France tries to assimilate its immigrant population.
When I was a lad I delivered 150 newspapers on a bicycle with baskets I remember that game and at the end of your route you used to have this cool obstacle course.
Wow, crapping all over a free project! What a responsible and mature individual you must be. Kinda like yelling at someone over the internet. Arrogant prat. Oh, the irony is delicious!
Ah, so the right to self-governance only extends to people who agree with your principles, then. Excellent. Sure, we don't allow someone to declare themselves KING(based on the results of an election) nor do we allow felons or those in prison to vote, so yes there is an implict expectation that you respect Constitutional principles when you vote(sort of a social contract thing). Otherwise, some really popular fellow or lady could get themselves elected once and then never hold another election.
Keep in mind contracts usually run out after a set number of albums - the big artists are re-signing up with new record labels, not opting to go independent. Actually, the really big artists start their own record label(see Maverick) then sit back and rake in the cash from other people's labor, or wait for the eventual buyout from the mega-corps.
Hate to reply to myself but mods on crack, surely the mention of bangers and mash was an obvious tongue in cheek joke. So those who modded the parent reply as flamebait need to obtain a sense of humor.
Some of us English don't consider the Americans (those from the USA, that is) as native English speakers. Until the Germans come calling, then it's all, "Hey Yanks come over and have some fish and chips or bangers and mash."
It's better than XP in every way I can think of. Then you probably aren't thinking very hard. Or you just happen to disagree with most people who come in contact with the UAC or run a foul of the drivers issues. Either way we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Plus, there are a lot of christians in the USA, and a question like "Why is water denser than steam?" can legitimately be answered with "Because God says so" (insisting for the candidate to mention something like how the molecules in a liquid attract one another and so tend to be packed closely together whereas the molecules in a gas behave independently of one another and so tend to move apart might offend religious people).
Or you could mention kinetic energy which is how the molecules in a gas are able to over come the attractive forces. Though I am not sure how kinetic energy offends religious people.
It's one thing to point out that the long-lived stuff isn't particularly hot, and that the hot stuff isn't particularly long-lived. Hmmm, let me see in my own post, "Repeat after me, if nuclear waste is "hot"(ie emitting lots of ionizing radiation) it won't stay that way for far longer than our lifetimes (approx. 76 yrs)." Ok, check. You're saying something orders of magnitude more stupid: that nuclear material is useful for as long as it's unsafe, and safe once it's no longer useful. I don't think you'll find much to back you up on this. Hold on a minute, did you buy one of those mats with conclusions written on them that you could jump on? My statement after the quoted statement was more along the lines of highly radioactive waste has other uses besides fuel thus it isn't just thrown out. As for arrogance, well Mr. Pot, I have a Mr. Kettle for you on line two he would like to tell you something. And I wasn't scaremongering, I was scaremocking, that's were I mock the irrational fears of the RADIATION will kill you and everyone you love if it had the chance crowd. Strangely fitting given the orginal topic was Greenpeace admits to mediawhoring, since nothing sells papers like fear, the more irrational the better.
And don't say that it happened because of defective russian equipment or something Riiiight, b/c the failure of the control rods to fully insert due to poor design of the Russian reactor, which was the cause of the Chernobyl diaster is not germane to the point of nuclear safety how? Oh, I see you don't understand the NC State reactor isn't generating steam which is the explosive part of most of the reactor incidents, there problem solved.
Thousands of tons of high-level nuclear waste from reactors which will be deadly for longer than our lifetimes do not in fact exist. Repeat after me, if nuclear waste is "hot"(ie emitting lots of ionizing radiation) it won't stay that way for far longer than our lifetimes (approx. 76 yrs). If it did we would use such material for fuel in a nuclear reactor, not just dump it out. Now, the stuff with half lives listed in thousands of years doesn't produce much radiation so get over yourself, and try not to think about the carbon 14 slowly decaying inside your body.
Width of spider silk thread? It seems to be rather uniform (or perhaps it is just too thin to tell). Which strand? The anchor strands one can clearly see or the capture strands? Which species of spider? And of course, I live in an area where the only spiders are taratulas you insensitive clod!
I'd like to know which factors have allowed (forced?) the disk storage industry to continue to advance at such a steady pace. Easy pr0n, somebody should calculate how much disk space is required given mpeg2 compression to ensure that someone would have the equivalent of 60+ years of pr0n, that is how big hard disks will get.
Hopefully they only do that after requisitioning the engine, and all other removable components, for use in police vehicles.:D Riiiiiiight, google for the youtube vid of the kid taking an e30 m3(2.0L 4 cyclinder engine) and making the cops look like fools w/ their pursuit vehicles (5+ L, V8s). Do you really want cops having the ability to go even faster and harm civilians?
Try more like ~25% above the likely limit (based on what it would be in the US, probably 25mph), in other words carrying about 50% more kinetic energy than they would have been if they were going the limit.
Which would be a salient point if we were discussing perfectly elastic collisions. But were not, and depending on the locale the speed limits can vary from 30-35 mph based on which street the most lawyers live on. So going 6 miles over the speed limit is hardly the speed demon you want to believe it is.
Don't encourage this troll, our dear friend ~futurepower, doesn't understand the difference between bombing a suspected terrorist camp, and invading a entire country.
Oh, the irony of linking to a site run in the UK about the US being undemocratic. I particularly like the whole not mentioning how much money Iran has funneled into terrorist organizations on their little point-counter point page. Btw 1 of those 24 countries was the fmr Yugoslavia, which we did to stop the genocide of the ethnic Albanians, you know the people sitting on all that oil.

9-11 was not done by Arabs with stanley knives. 9-11 was the excuse to take away your freedom.
So tell me Ms. O'donell, who "did" 9-11?
