i'm of the opinion that virginity is event/location-related such that since i've never engaged in any sexual behavior in, say, kuala lumpur, my kuala lumpurian virginity is still fully intact. further, should i ever visit kuala lumpur, upon my arrival in that exotic land there will exist a considerable catalog of potential deflorations. beyond that, what exactly is a bt engineer?
I don't think you can just whip up a nuke in a couple hours though.... I'm sure there would be a swift response to a security breach at sucha facility a few too many people didnt think you could take over several commercial passenger jets simultaneously and use them in a coordinated kamikaze attack. nor did anyone think the twin towers of the wtc could be totally demolished before lunch. livermore laboratory's relatively vuln
as much as i wish i could dispute anything youve said (including the title which struck me as excessively melodramatic before i began reading), i can't. if im reading you correctly, you're not condemning or attacking, but rather sounding an alarm and predicting what seems likely to happen unless we're able to reverse our direction. i know of two people (friends of friends) who are in the final stages of being deported. one is a woman who was
first of all, thanks for pointing me towards information bout the allies liberating french north africa. i was also able to locate some first person accounts. i'm passing familiar with the vichy regime; just never considered its impact on morocco, algeria and tunisia (other than ungarte's premature demise). still, i'm not sure it supports your analogy well. without demeaning the efforts or sacrifices on either side, the campaign is barely more than
i'm confused. you feel criminal gangs are essentially ideologic? members are primarily united by commitment to or advocacy of a uniquely specific common abstract political, philosophical or theosophical concept?
why does this possibiltiy of two diametriclly opposed ideologies working together against a common foe..this case the west or more to the point the US get thrown aside as nothing more than an illusion? the groups you mention as occasional collaborators (triads, lcn/russian mob) are criminal enterprises working in cooperation when it benefits them financially. theres no ideology to complicate things. i cant imagine hamas and the west
a news item that appeared on the al jazeera english language website entitled "israeli lessons for the us in iraq" (datelined 4/7/04) speculated the us had adopted or been taught israeli techniques for interrogating detainees. according to the article's author, "tens of thousands of Palestinians" who've been detained and interrogated in israeli prisons and
one of disneys 'angels' is prince al-walid ibn talal ibn abdulaziz sa'ud--a member of the saudi royal family--who has help bail out eurodisney twice in the past 10 years. the prince also used his influence and resources to defuse an arab league boycott of disney products to protest an exhibit that was created by disney in association with the state of israel that allegedly indicated jerusalem was the capital of israel. moore's film doesnt po

i'm not talented, skilled or knowledgable enough to qualify for geekdom but i've spent lots of hours over the past 7 years (after sorta successfully building my first pc from discarded parts) trying to help guide countless friends and acquaintances through myriad upgrades, installations, recoveries and everyday mishaps. for the most part, these were people who had already mastered the art of turning the damn thing on, booting up and getting themselves
im not able to easily get in touch with my brother but ill ask him the next time im able they loved chang mai (and i would have loved em to buy me some handwoven silks and pottery while they were there but thats a whole other story)
bill mahr is a satirist who used to host a show called 'politically incorrect' in the states (first on cable, later it was run after ted koppel's nightline on abc). the show was cancelled a couple months after 9/11 when bill said something bout us troops in afghanistan (unfortunately i cant recall the details at the moment) that was widely misunderstood or misperceived as being critical of the soldiers. in fact, it was critical of the command. in an
On the other hand, Iraqi insurgents set American civilians delivering food supplies on fire, drag their bodies through the streets and then hang them upside down from a bridge for 4 days and the world shrieks how we need to negotiate with the people who did this the 4 americans who were set upon, burned, mutilated and desecrated in falloujah were not your ordinary civilians delivering food supplies according to the associated press: "It
i believe islam literally translates to 'submit' or 'submission' for whatever that's worth. the specific problem in this instance may seem to be the application of sharia (id like to think it is being applied incorrectly but im not sure thats the case), but the larger issue is, in my opinion, rooted in a chronic flaw in the human psyche, the primary symptom of which is blind adherence to dogma. its not exclusive to any culture or spiritual philoso
i wish it was limited to a single individual (if it had to happen at all) and a single instance. since thats not happening, i agree the next worse alternative would be to gloss it over and hope its forgotten.
well....ok....ill concede one more thing. he is smart enough to realize the american public too often elects a candidate who they can easily imagine playing the moronic father in a prime time network sitcom and he has the role down to an art.
"I fear that the US won't be able to do what really needs to be done in the middle east until a major US city is destroyed by a nuclear weapon smuggled in by terrorists from Iran, Syria, or Saudi Arabia. At whic point, gentler responses will no longer be available." while i share your concern about the end result, smuggling may not be required. a
im still confused about americans attacking french forces in north africa in 1942 and it has nothing at all to do with the pearl harbor connection (with the exception of this issue, i dont recall ever reading or hearing anything that would lead me to conclude the public--with the possible exception of regional bund movements--had difficulty connecting the dots vis-a-vis pearl harbor and the subsequent declara
that cute little soldier-guard who can be seen doing kinky things with a leash in that prison in iraq
this is a bit off-topic but im appalled to see so little support for those stalwarts of revolutionary-era colonial conservativism (better known as tories). but what can you expect when the liberal press is so biased in favor of their fair-haired radical liberal heroes like paine, jefferson, and all the rest of those traitors.
i hear lynddie england is irresistable in uniform.
on first consideration, this may seem like a difficult argument to make, but let's not forget self-preservation has motivated even the lowliest single-cell parasitic organisms to develop amazingly successful defensive strategies. with that in mind, it shouldnt surprise anyone that the president has done the same thing on a considerably less grand scale. <BR
maybe im terminally naive. or maybe im just too gullible. if so, that would explain why, as a young boy, i so easily believed everything i read, heard and was told about america and the american way even though the way things happened around me was frequently, disturbingly, even disappointingly different. i remember very clearly watching early
im goin bananas here laughing. as bill mahr pointed out when suggesting the coalition turn the country over to saddam on its way out...he's rested, he's tan and he's ready.
i cant imagine why that particular prison was utilized for any purpose other than housing saddam himself.. absent that, it should have been razed and ultimately replaced by a memorial to those who suffered there under hussein.
