It was England who originally invaded and occupied the territoy of the Native Americans I believe. I really don't have a rosey view of the Irish situation, and I know that the portions of the FBI and other agencies tasked to stop IRA monetary support arising in the US have been traditionally given short shrift in money, manpower, and priority, which is a shame. Terrorism is terrorism.
Breast implants? black fishnet stockings? Either the W has just acquired a new hobby, or needs to acquire a new hobby.
Fuzzy L - If we invaded a neighboring country and stayed there several hundred years to their economic and political detriment, I would not be surprised if there arose a strong underground terrorist countermovement. (Particularly if I had disarmed and rendered vulnerable and helpless this people). Don't saddle us with Ireland. It's your mess - you clean it up. You're all very quick to point out when we try to drag other people into a mess that we created, and in some cases rightly so. Drop the h
KarmaGirl - the Better Half suggests that when all of the ENRON thieves who manipulated prices during California's energy crisis are finally jailed, that all electric power to their cells should be cut off while they're incarcerated. I thought you might appreciate that one.
Good one mosh. I watched a death row inmate being asked why the death penalty didn't keep him from tying up and shooting a convenience store operator. He said that he was too drugged up to be afraid, and wanted no witnesses. Then he said that this was his 14th robbery, and that the first 13 clerks were alive today only because he did fear the death penalty. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ima
bkb searches for a globe, to see where the Greenwich meridian would wind up if the 180th is relocated to Texas.
Koasati - how are we ever going to keep the Wombat in line, when he's always a day ahead of us?
Where does one get sunrise/sunset tables for Oz?
The last time that I qualified with the M-16, I was irritated that it had jammed on me twice in shooting 350 rounds. Then the rangemaster explained to me that the old, badly worn gun which I was shooting had an ejector spring that was broken completely in two, and that he just hadn't had time to replace it yet. Pretty good performance for a broken weapon.
Another totalitarian weapons-of-mass-destruction seeker chimes in.
Maybe he watched too many of his own movies!
You win, Wombat. That was funny!
She further notes with regret that I seem to have become remarkably insensitive to both.
She says "G'day", and that the cat-o'-nine-tails hangs right above the rolling pin.
The Better Half has hung me on the wall and administered 10 lashes with the cat-o'-nine-tails, for revisiting this thread after I said that I wouldn't.
My deepest condolences and thoughts to all of the families that have lost someone to this monster(s).
Hmmm! 40 million handguns in Texas. And when I awoke this morning, my yard and my street were not strewn with corpses every 5 feet. Amazing!
I must be dropping my marbles, 'cause I've now reached a point where I can read this thread and still smile. I think that I have learned a few things along the way about how opinions on both sides of international issues evolve. paxx has dropped in a few well expressed explanations. Lecrayon has shown again that he has a very great heart. I still believe that it would be a fatal mistake to project our love and reasonableness on the fanatics of the world. As to the jabs that are frequently aimed
Enjoy your cheese and partying.....some of us have real work to do. Wombat - you've made many intelligent observations in these threads, but usually washed down with some nasty, snide little dig. Your opinions are almost always interesting. Your sarcasm isn't.
Thanks plainsong and doreen for the info. One of my managers has a cassiopeia with the Win version just prior to 2002, and we still can't get his MyDash to do anything. Oh well.
The color of the bottom bar is set by the theme file ( .tsk file) selected thru the "Today Settings" menu. To show for selection, the .tsk file must be in the My Documents folder on your handheld, not in the skins directory or subfolder. Dashboard skins set up for Pelmar Wisbar can be made to automatically load the theme file if you have dashboard 1.5 or newer. ( The skin's .dsh file can have an entry like "TodayFile = IPAQ_Whistler.tsk"). This .tsk file also contains the skin of your Start men
The nastiest weapon that Saddam could use in the near future is an airliner type aicraft (Boeing 737, etc) equipped with massive tanks onboard like the Air Force refueling tankers. Just fill the tank with liquid sarin instead of JP4 fuel. File a legitimate flight plan. Fly in looking totally legitimate. Open the offload valves. What happens if you release 180,000 lbs of liquid nerve gas over a metro center at low altitude? Isn't it amazing how the countries that Saddam has no interest in attacki
we all do , moshi. Thank you.
It used to be just the military who were really in harm's way because the oceans insulated us. Now uninvolved civilians are in harm's way, and all they had to do to get there was go to the office to work. BTW m, during all the years I trained in the military my life's goal was to prevent war. Second highest goal was to stay alive. Third highest goal was to have a family and a life. As far as goals go, killing people never made the list.
There are no good solutions now, and there were no good solutions when I was in the Vietnam war. The lack of good solutions there was overshadowed by the more imminent concern that people in my immediate periphery presented me with a dilemma: kill them first or die. I was very consistent at choosing the former so you're stuck with me. The next terrorist act on our soil which murders hundreds or thousands of people will take the current debate out of the ethereal philosophical strata and bring it
