An exploration company can get the rights to get what is under you land, wehter you like it or not. And the damage to the property is just part of life.
I know we're so underdeveloped and all, but in Poland coal companies are required to pay for the damages (whether they do it is another story).
It is within national and international laws and follows the geneva convention.
I'm sorry, but it was the opinion of top Pentagon officials that Geneva convention does not apply to certain people. Another example would be Guantanamo Bay prison, where people are being held without trial for indefinite time --- how does it comply with national and international laws?
It's the responsibility of American government to defina a realistic and civilised policy to be carried out by the US Army in Iraq. They failed it all the way in the past and are failing it now.
There is an old redneck saying that goes somethign like "kill'em all and let god sort it out"
It's from Medieval times. It was said by Amalric Arnaud, a French bishop while on a crusade against the Albigensis.
Abu Ghraib is one thing. Another thing is what the USA is planning to do in al Fallujah --- to turn into a ghetto, where people have to wear their addresses on their necks. Creepy analogies follow...
Maybe the pople there don't have computers, but they read books and newspapers. I'm certain it will be much easier to run a small printing shop in Kenya now when there is a decent office suite which supports swahili.
That's not the point. I simply don't believe that being a white male makes your chances in court so small that it doesn't pay to sue. Especially in Texas. It smells with bigotry.
I beg to inform you that Turkey's bid for the EU is pushed by an Islamist party, which won the elections and abides democratic rules as much, if not more, than its non-Islamist predecessors at power.
Having Turkey (a moslem nation in Asia) joining the European Union before eg. another European country like Ukraine would be a scandal.
No. Having invited Turkey and not Ukraine would be a scandal. Who enters first? He who is ready first. Both countries have a lot to amend.
Surely you are not serious in suggesting that the current events in the Ukraine are exceptional and there is a single European country that has not had similar trials that they faced with no lesser courage and bravery...
Well, sure. I got carried away a bit. But Ukraine surely deserves EU membership, and I hope you're not contesting that.
If there ever is an organized pressure like this, one can always give information to people living in more civilized countries like this and ask them to submit it.
Compare it to other Islamic countries. Turkey is an example that you *can* mix islam with democracy (note that this guys sentence had nothing to do with religion, only Turkish nationalism --- which is a common problem in many countries, in Europe and elsewhere).
I think Turkey should be allowed to join, on two conditions:
it clears up its record on cases like one described in the article
if Turkey is eligible to join, so should be Ukraine --- especially now since the Ukrainian nation proved to be one of the bravest in Europe
Well, if this is the first time you meet with hypocrisy in politics... all communist parties controlling Eastern Europe in the past called themselves 'worker parties', although they had nothing to do with common working people.
No, it didn't and reacts angrily when there is any commemorance of the fact. Some time ago in a beautiful Polish city of Kraków members of Armenian minority wanted to organize a 'remembrence day' for the massacre. The Turkish embassy protested strongly enough to make it troublesome for the Armenians to make a public ceremony.
You still need a paper trail. The ballots can be counted, doublechecked, you can use 2, or 3, or N groups of people with whatever affiliation. This is where vote security lies.
As Stalin said: "It's not about who votes, it's about who counts the vote".

Poland forced the patents directive to be removed from the agenda of the EU Agricultural Council. It means that the directive will not be adopted this year.

The problem is, many people in Abu Ghraib were innocent.

From the AMDZone account:
Well being a white male I had no way to do so in Texas as I was advised by lawyers.
I seldom trust people who use such arguments.
The 1950's were famous for their unfettered belief in scientific progress combined with various sci-fi hoax. No wonder people believed in antigravity.
Sleep? Hasn't anyone introduced you to caffiene?
Sure. I can't sleep without my evening mug of coffee.
That's why during the day I code and at night I play on my website and hack the living hell out of a known hardware platform
Dare I to ask, when do you sleep?
You didn't read the guy's argument, did you?

Let me guess... you are Ukranian?
No... Polish.

If it weren't for Turkish European ambitions, we would see much more of such sentences.

I am sorry, but 5th world country like Bulgaria
I am sorry, but Bulgaria is not a "5th world country". It will join the European Union in 2007 or 2009.

Uh-oh....
It usually isn't hard to tell a dictator from a democrat (small 'd').
