Proper national stereotyping should only be applied to oneself...
bit of critical thought
I'm welsh (can't help it)
I live in essex. (i could help that, but what can you do?)
i get to hear a lot of sheep jokes,
it's a bit tedious sometimes, but there you go.
my fault for being an exotic foreigner.
should i take offence, wales is, after all, a different country.
what about yorkshire types taking the piss out of southern softies? same country..
people from colchester taking thepiss out of them from ipswich
people from my street taking th episs out of people from the next street...
and on and on.
and before you know it them fucktards who want sharia law in this country have won!
fuck em, if someone says something that offends you, say so and if they reply tough, or bollocks or simlar, then suck it up. Dont buy their product/watch their show or whatever.
NO ONE has the 'right' to go through life without being offended.
as Bernard Manning said......
And i'm just thinking aloud here..
The us govt arranged for these 'statements' to be made (actually having statements makes the case look more credible than a nod and a wink between the us gov and swedish gov), so that credulous dullards like yourself would be duped into thinking this case was anything more than a load of old bollocks.
And it's no surprise at all that this has been leaked - it wouild be astonishing if it weren't.
and, i'll have to double check this, but quoting the same bollocks sourse on two different occasions dosent really make the quotes anything more than bollocks in the first case and bollocks repeated in the second.
I thought the article said this news shit :-) was only available on the fondle slab, ergo only available to mactards, who as any fule kno are incapable of independent thought, thats why steve was sent down to us, to do all our thinking.
will the presence of murdoch AND jobs ion the same scam sufficiently distort reality to suspend godwins law?
i rather think so
for crack cocaine & prostitution?
there are just too many crackheads/whores in this country. and closing down the dealers and pimps wont work, cos theres so much demand....
so why wast all that govt money of trying to do something about these 'rights'
(28th amendement - i have the right to do what the fuck i like and screw the consequences - only serious)
and as for;
" It would be very nice to live in a world where it was not remotely likely that I could be robbed at gunpoint or shot at for fun "
you could!
Just leave the USA numbnuts, THAT is the point the civilised world is trying to make.
We have gun control, and vanishingly small numbers of gun deaths
You have virtually no gun control and *THE* most common cause of death to young black men is GSW (we wont even go to the 'so who cares about that' debate) and on a broader scale gun death stats that put you in the same bracket as Somalia and Afghanistan! FFS
I appreciate the americans are bred/condtioned to avoid critical thinking if at all possible but how can you fail to get it.
we dont have guns and consequently dont get shot much.
it's hardly rocket surgery
so the quote;
But I do know that if you combine the populations of Great Britain,
France, Germany,
Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Australia you've got a population
roughly the size
of the United States. We had 32,000 gun deaths last year and they had 112. Do
you think it's
because Americans are more homicidal by nature? Or do you think it's because
those guys have
gun control laws.
is not correct
(dont worry im sure he never watched the west wing)
lulz
that the people working in these stores are..... eejuts.
why do you people bother going to the store in the first place?
If im going to order online, then i'll be sat at my computer anyway, so why not just get the dope from the horses mouth, i.e. Mfrs' website? it's what i have done for years.
box office reciepts generally, and opening weekend especially, only reflect how good a job the marketing guys have done.
I for example started watching the recent version of "alice in wonderland" - ths 6th best movie of all time (well, after 1977) ,being a fan of the inesimable Mr Depp, and having enjoyed the book immensley as a child.
However, after about 3 weeks (okay 20 mins) I felt compelled to turn the smouldering pile of chud off, lest I chew off my own arm to aleviate the tedium.
Had I been stupid enough to venture into a cinema to see this film, in it's opening week, i would have certainly left before the film was over.
Yet my admission would still have counted toward making it 'the 6th best film ever made' (eat your heart out kane and casblanca!)
the sooner movie charts go the same way as music charts the better.
The problem with the USA.... let me re-phrase that
The MAIN problem with the USA is that they have 'god on their side'
this excuses all,
1 hand; words best health care,
other hand 50 million denied access to it - god wants it that way.
1 hand; give me your starving huddled masses etc etc etc
other hand; green cards conditional on employment leading to green card slavery - god wants it that way
1 hand; land of the free
other hand: 1 million (mostly black and hispanics) in prison.- god wants it that way
1 hand: democratic republic
other hand; practically you have the choice between the far right and the loony right - got wants it that way.
1 hand: the worlds policeman
other hand: see themselves as above trhe law - god wants it that way
Just as there can be no negotiating with fundamentalist islam, their belief, their god. logic, common sense, or negotiation have no place in their tiny world view. God wants Jihad
The USA is EXACTLY the same,
just a different invisible friend
actually the same invisible friend, wearing a different patterned shirt.
that would be the self same invisible friend as israel
I rest my case
a pox on the lot of em.
from a domestic consumer standpoint.
heres another viewpoint.
I design transmission/distribution networks, we calculate demand to be, typically, 2.5kWh per household - this makes allowance for the fact that we dont all use the same ammount at the same time.
now 32amps at 240v is 7.6kWh
oops
now imagine a street where 30% of residents drive milk floats, all on charge, all night
OOPS.
bunging more and more transformers into substations to get more MVA is not technically possible, levels of fault current become un manageable fairly quickly, in many supergrid sites its a problem already. By the time the protection opens a breaker under fault conditions then some part of the kit has been damaged by the fault current. (no we cant make the breaker open quicker)
so more and more substations...
and more and more OHL's or cables to join them all up (suits me just fine :D)
what was that about cheap leccy?
Then theres the cost of the batteries, and their ecologically safe disposal.
Not to mention the tax system currently treats leccy cars as a loss leader, that will be a distant memory by the time the average bloke in the street is in a position to buy one.
Also by then the cat will be out of the bag as to just how piss-poor all them windmills we have just thrown up are, so generating capacity will be unable to meet even current demand.....
prolly a good time to buy shares in horses
addiction actually means something, and liking an activity and therefore doing it a lot, dont count.
do you really think heroin adics, crack addicts and alchoholics destroy their lives and the lives of those around them because they LIKE what they are doing???
yuo could possibly talk about OCD in your cited instances (in which case you would be walking into a completely different slap down....actually the same one, but with different examples)
addictions to sex, chocolate, video games, wanking or tie collectiing ARE NOT ADDICTIONS, and rarely become part of OCD.
just a 3rd rate mind trying to add credibility to their bulshit observations.
so not addicted, at all, to anything then.
move along nothing to see here.
recent studys indicate that 97.45734675684356% of dead-weight wannabe academics will claim group A is addicted to process/substance/state of mind B at the drop of a fat juicy research grant.
as good ol joules watt was fond of pointing out in the wireless world...
digital signal... aint no such beast in the real world
your 0 and 1 are represented as voltages with asscociated currents dependent on various impedances. And those impedances will have different effects on the various (odd No.) harmonics making up your 0 & 1 signal, softening an edge here, overshooting there. And as such are subject to the same laws of phsysics as an analog signal in a 'analog' cable.
that said 'audiophile quality' anything is ALWAYS bollocks.
these people are morons and deserve nothing but our scorn.
