Damn Mason, you messed up there---again!!! Those little cuties love grizzly, rugged men in their forties. They don't marry them but they sure give out a little warmth. Um.

A United States Of Africa? in Politics JoeUser Forums

The annual summit of the African Union has just ended in Ghana. A major topic of debate was the possible formation of a United States Of Africa embracing all 53 member states in a type of USA style bond of states governed by a higher body. Gwynne Dyer, a leading journalist who writes for 45 or so publications, postulates that it may make sense as Africa has so many di

Reply to People Worth Hating in Misc JoeUser Forums

To equate the word "Hate" with people we know or know slightly is a going a little too far. How can we, as lowly mammals (or higher mammals if you like), is crazy, We are so fragile and so apt at making mistakes that we should first look at ourselves before we make any judgements at all. Hell, I hate getting up in the morning but I don't hate Ms J. just because she's not able to get on with her colleagues. I don't hate Mr S. because he earns more mone

Reply to "Sir" Salman Rushdie and the Knighthood in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Oh come on Bahu! I refer you to my post of 18 June. Who gives a stuff about what Pakhistanis or Iranians think about Rushdie's knighthood? They would stir crap over a bad bar of chocolate. Let's get real here. The Queen, bless her, or Blair, have decided to knight Rushdie for his contribution to literature. Why would any Pakistani or Iranian agree over this? They can't because they are so embroiled in hatred over any system that is not within their lik

Sir Salman Rushdie... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Salman Rushdie, he of the Satanic Verses and the ridiculous fatwa, is to be knighted by the Queen of England for services to literature. A writer of high repute and sensible logical discussion, Rushdie deserves his honour. However the powers that be (or is that the powers of irrationality?), in Iran and Pakhistan have condemned Britain for granting this knigh

Reply to News on carbon offsets: Do Trees Make It OK to Drive an SUV? in Politics JoeUser Forums

You know what amazes me about the carbon emissions debate? While we're all condemning big SUVs and trying to save energy there are millions of fires in Africa, India and the under-developed countries that spew carbon into our air--yes, not just their's. How do you reconcile a situation like that?

Warren Harding was probably the worst President the US had seen in 200 Years. Reagan was one of the best and I doubt whether we'll see another Ronnie in the near future!

Reply to the real reason our troops are in iraq and afganistan in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

The problem, Daniel---and I presume that you are still a young man, is not whether the troops are dying for America or Bush, or whether they are doing a good job--they are. The problem is one of incitement. Instead of preventing terrorist attacks on the US the presence of US and UK troops in Iraq is stirring up hate and resentment to a degree that countries are now less safe. Look at the UK where radicals by the hundred are standing in line to blow up their own country (QV recent and forthcoming

Reply to Profiting from war is legal if you're the vice president. in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

In Africa they still call him "Halliburton Dick", and whether he sold his stock or is no longer on the board, he is regarded as devious, self-serving and a complete "nightmare-in-the-making" should he ever have to take over from Bush. Who says these things? The Embassies of the USA, no less!

This is "Anything goes" land. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

The Vespa scooter is very popular in Cairo. The little machine is designed (with maximum 250 cc), to take two passengers around town. However, have you ever seen a Vespa with an aircon and washing machine strapped to the back? The rider has to stand while negotiating Cairo's traffic and his load is, to say the least, unbalancing. What about an old Russian mot
