Letterman is a funny guy. I don't think there's any point in discussing this any further here. Believe it or not I take this stuff seriously. I think you would be surprised how much we ideologically agree. I despise brutal dictatorial political regimes. I also believe in the potential for human achievement. Right now I see the world being set ablaze and our leaders throwing gasoline on the fire. Our nations greatest emissaries are the imigrants and students who return to their

Bangkokboy - I didn't mean to imply that our military would do that but on re-reading my post I can see where you would think that's what I meant. I was thinking of all the other groups that could benefit from gas being used, blamed on the Iraqis, There's quite a few that would have the capability to fake something like that and would love to see it happen. Like Iran, Israel, who knows, I can think of some others too. In the movie about the A-bomb in the soda machine at the SuperBowl (can't reme

aw c'mon Xerraire, I didn't say the US would use gas, I just find the logic very selective. The US does have all these suits and stuff so why shouldn't Iraq have them too? Armies have these things... on both sides. It's just like the Geneva Convention complaints from Rumsfeld applying to Iraq but not to us when we publically humiliated and villified the American Taliban guy and lots of other captured soldiers being sent to Guantanamo. It sounds too much like propoganda when it

The US has chemical suits and injectors and gas masks. Does that mean we're planning to use chemical weapons? I saw some shots of Baghdad in the sand storm and thought it looked surreal and biblical with everything bathed in red light and the solid look the air had. Tariq Aziz expressed his dismay that the Americans are accusing them of planning to use chem or bio weapons. He said he's afraid the US is planning to use them and blame Iraq. I wonder, if they do get used, is it p

The initial plan, I believe, is to put Gen. Tommy Franks in charge of an 'interim' government. The estimate is he would stay there for 1 to 2 years. This obviously involves a fairly large military presence as well. The oil contracts have already been assigned to several companies (mostly American and British). The contracts for rebuilding Iraq have also been assigned already, going to private American companies. The cost has been estimated anywhere from 70 Billion to 200 Billion plus one analyst

2004 will be interesting. I said back in 2000 (on the skinz MB) that if Bush gets elected there won't be any elections in 2004. I still think I may have been right except that Bush didn't exactly get elected, more like appointed. I think people are being blind to the build-up of a big-brother type infrastructure and the selling of fear. There's plenty of time left for a coup to become visible and elections to be cancelled if that's necessary. Remember, it's not my generation that this is being b

Hiya Baker, don't be ashamed, lot's of people get a boner over war. It's not uncommon at all. I was born a pacifist and spent my whole life being one. I'm just an artist, I don't have the answers to prevent war. I don't think anyone does because those that can profit from war will do so no matter what argument comes along. I think it can be vieweed in no other way than as a failure. It's the worst possible answer to any problem.

Well, if you want to bang N.Korea it looks like you won't be dissapointed Joe. Remember when we went into Afganistan and GWB kept saying "this is the first war of the twenty-first century"? Richard Perle, Rumsfeld's advisor and one of the key architects of the Bush Neocons' current multi-war agenda says Iran is next but N.Korea will be a priority. There is much money to be made and with the right investments anybody can make a 'killing' in this New American Century. From t

Reply to Question about Windowblinds compatiblility in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Windowblinds only skins the GUI stuff and yes it works fine at any resolution. Logons and wallpapers are a seperate thing. They are made for a specific screen size. Your only option is to "stretch". LogonXP will let you reconfigure a logon for your system by stretching the background to fit. Try to stick with one's that are as big as possible to start with (1280 for example). I wouldn't bother trying to stretch a 1024 background as it will probably look terrible at 1600.

Does anybody remember the videos of Afghan prisoners? Remember Johnny Walker Lindh and the interviews, the video of him being undressed, his bullet wounds and the fact that he was vilified before the whole world. Yes it's hypocritical but the American position about the prisoner videos is expected, as is the very pro-American news coverage. To expect anything else would be naive. America will present their side in their press and the Iraqi's will try to get their own perspective shown.

Reply to No sound for middle button in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

There's two different back functions. One is the Internet Explorer "back" key and the other is "backspace". Whatever you have it set for, try the other one. I think the IE back command is the one that should have the sound.
