OG San: Ever read Tony Parker's May God in His Mercy Be Kind to Belfast ? The introductory chapter relates to this same issue. Parker was looking for an assistant to help him with his interviewing process. Instead of finding out if the candidates were reliable, smart, and fit for the position, he was told things like "She's got a Catholic given name and a Protestant second name which me
OG San: Have you ever seen the play "As the Beast Sleeps" written by Gary Mitchell? The basic concept that Mitchell is writing about is that working class loyalist had the most to lose in the peace process, politically and economically. The play graphically describes the brutal infighting in the UDA post-GFA, and the difficulty for former paramilitary members to shift their beliefs from struggle
You've lost me on the definite origin bit. Eta has an origin in the Basque country, the IRA in Ireland, the ANC in South Africa, the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, the KLA in Kosovo...I could go on, but you get my point. All of these groups have definite origin and all are/were terrorist organizations.
Jealous Jealous Jealous!!! umm...only if "hot chick" is really "hot guy."
I'm going to show my military-by-association-ness here, but what the hell is 'fnord'? I see it all over your responses and I'd really like to have a freakin' clue about it's meaning. me too, I wanna know too! As for Billy Connelly--he's brililant! However, when ever I hear his name the line "
Then again, she could have been wanting to get into yer pants. Don't be silly dharma...I'm sure "hot chick" (please tell me that's not her real name--Muggaz, with you, one can never be too sure) simply wanted to learn more about the Agawarian way!
pseudosoldier and greywar--You know that sarcasm and wit are often not fully understood around here....You two are going to be in some serious trouble! But thanks for the laugh! Greywar: Thanks for the link. The article was interesting, there was a lot of information that I didn't know. I haven't actually brought myself to watch the video, and I think I'm going to keep it t
Hey - It's like that Acronym generator has known me all my life!!! Too bad there's no E in your name...it would be "egotistical." Or maybe we can just switch that A to "arrogant."
MasonM: you are doubly magical...that should prove useful on your new journey (good luck, btw). I went on a road trip last weekend and everytime I passed a trucker I wondered if it was you! Oh, and I should have had the explicit lyrics warning...that's me in a nutshell...I just tone it down around here!
Update - Outrageously hot chick messaged me at 1.00am and 3.00am last night - I was asleep, but this means only one thing. I'm sure it could mean a lot of things...not everyone is after the motion on your ocean!
I think Janders put it best when she said we give our kids two important things, one is roots, and the other is wings. What happened was a very unfortunate situation, but in no way was it Jill's fault. Children shoud not be unnecessarily sheltered--not allowing *anyone* else to watch your ki
Ah boredom...a disease of the unimaginative. We just finished a big report at work. Now that we don't have to "hurry up" and finish everything, or drop everything to meet deadlines, I'm not sure what to do with all my freetime. I've been around, but not commenting as much lately. During the report craziness it was because I didn't have the time to write thoughtful responses, and now it's because my brain is mushing and I don't have anything thought
Jill and Dharma: I hope both of your children are feeling much better soon. And Jill I hope your littlest one doesn't catch the bug. Here's to a peaceful night's rest for both of you tonight!
By the way, why not fight ALL forms of terrorism? Not just the bad arab terrorists. Uh, historically we have tried to. That's not 100% accurate. The US did nothing to stop the IRA, and many American's knowingly contributed money to the IRA on a regular basis. Until 9/11 the US didn't oppose
I followed NickyG's link to get my warning label. Which was: Information i <td bgc
Ethanol is far from being a new fuel source. Ethanol s also not fuel efficient at all. Currently, gas can not have more than 10% ethanol (except for some California boutique gas, but their fuel systems are set up for emissions differently and can handle about 12% ethanol). Ethanol ox
XX: I didn't find your response rude at all. But I will try to remember to use smileys when I am being sarcastic!
Reply #10 By: XX - 5/27/2004 2:06:52 AM the compassionate terrorist mass killers What a oxymoron. If they were compassionate, they wouldn't kill thousands of people. They would go and try to assassinate someone they hold responsibility for "evil actions" and avoid the huge batch of people that had nothing to do wit
vincible: It was stupidity because all the media hype could have been avoided had she simply chosen to not air her dirty laundry in public. And while she might be ok with having it out there, I wonder if the others involved feel the same. Nicky: I completely agree with the lacking sense bit. That was the only reason she got fired, because she did it at work. But I would also think a bit of sense would have told her that it's not kosher to
There is always scandal inside the beltway, so it came as no surprise to find out that a "Sex Blogger" was posting from her cubicle on Capitol Hill. Jessica Culter is now infamous in Washington, DC. Her claim to fame was her blog, Washingtonienne, which can now be found at washingtoniennearchives.blogspot.com. A staff assistant for Senator Mike DeWine, Washingtonie
dharma- I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do to make it all better...will a cyber hug help?
Your whole premise is flawed because you chose to use a strawman argument to begin it. I never defined the term terrorist. I simply said I didn't consider Nelson Mandella a terrorist. <TD class="mb-Body-Quo
Can you explain the power user thing? The other day I was pleasantly surprised to be a level 2...but now I am back to a level one...is it simply arbitrary? just curious...
the first thing you would make illegal if you had the power to ? ... the first thing you think of when you hear the following words: government, science, doctor, lamb, paris ? ... the first thing you do every morning ? ... the first thing you can remember from your childhood ? ... the first thing you w
