Didn't you already know this? If you've ever handled a penny they've got everything on you.

Irreversible. French film with both an iconic bludgeoning and a very brutal rape. I'm a big fan of gore films (especially those of Lucio Fulci and Ruggero Deodato) so that kind of thing doesn't disturb me (however, the turtle-butchering in Cannibal Holocaust makes me uneasy but only because I...

Until it became painfully evident even to them that the story was even limper than you.

Unless you're the guy who brings Sam to the bathroom when he needs help (which is often) I'm not sure you're either of those guys.

Meanwhile, the North American news from a real news source has only one mention of either. Guess which.

You're an embarrassment to both those cultures.

We should organise a whip-round for an iron lung, because you really are too stupid to breathe.

Apparently not unless you link back to their source in ten-foot letters (but not just using the url= tag). Mods got pretty tetchy at me using an attributed quote (but not, it seems, at the actual content of the quote, so go figure...).

See don't ever call it a conflict between Catholics and Protestant because it never was--it was a conflict between pro-union British forces, often but not exclusively of English descent, and between pro-independence forces, often but not exclusively ethnic Irishmen. The most revered nationalist...

I'll try. But trust me--you don't grow up in an environment of actual conspiracy, state terrorism and political stonewalling and not learn to spot a real issue versus a non-issue pretty quickly. It's probably why so many of us knew that Thatcher had mishandled the Hillborough affair (now that I...

Yep, I'll grant you that--though I was against that war (and, as usual, against anything the British do). However, it's known now that the report involved was knowingly doctored (I believe "sexed up" was the term used to attempt to make it seem less outrageous an offence), which is many steps...

No I'm following that point--when the CIA tell them expressly that they believed the attack came as a relatively spontaneous one taking advantage of the protests, it's not in any way the fault of the politicians that this intelligence was what they were given. If a team of weathermen gave Obama...

It might even turn out that she's secretly Ugandan or whatever the fuck that whole shebang was about.

If it helps, I like him as much as I liked Bill Clinton, Al Gore and probably would have liked John Kerry if he stuck around more prominently. Aside from the fact that Europe as a whole generally tends towards the left more than the US does--and therefore is going to appreciate left-leaning...

Hmm. So reading OP's extensive quote, point out where either Obama or Clinton put "all their eggs" into that basket and kept them there. Because as I see it, the CIA (you know, the ones whose actual jobs hinge on intelligence-gather, unlike Obama and Clinton and any politician ever) presented...

You mean the YouTube video that sparked multiple widescale protests during that exact span of time, in exactly that part of the world, causing 75 deaths in total? How utterly appalling that someone might have seen a connection there when it was oh so clearly an entirely separate nonentity.

It's not really an "if". But let's look at it this way. Watergate was a deliberate action carried out by a team of organised perpetrators, and featured bigger "revelations" about possible conspiracy within two days than this--an act occurring in the middle of a warzone with no possibility of...

It'd startle me if there was any actual story to react to.

You just keep telling yourself that.

The fact that he worked under both should be a good indication that he's above the partisan bollockry seen elsewhere.

So did they find the source of all this hot air yet or is this thing still going on?

I checked "other" for engaged, nothing else seemed to fit.

At no point has this happened.

I think that makes the assumption that half a mind can actually believe anything of its own accord.

Sorry, I guess I missed the part where any of this had anything to do with the government as opposed to private enterprise. Silly me.

It's funny how neither of those articles confirm they'll be imported back into the states either, preferring just to speculate on "maybe". Big company ensures profits by opening a large factory in a cheap country: surely this is a triumph of the american dream.

That suit. In another life that man should have been producing Genesis and Yes albums.

The real question is why you felt the need to revive this pile dickery and cowardice.

Someone with more intelligence than that of a four year old explain something to me--how much, percentage-wise, does this have to do with the man being, shall we say, caucasianally impaired?

Let's look at it this way. I'm in favour of sex. I'm not in favour of rape, even though you can loosely describe it sex. Now, replace "sex" with "legal and accessible abortions" and "rape" with "grievous medial misconduct up to and including murder" and you might maybe give that one brain cell a...

Sometimes you're just really in the mood for peanut butter.

Yes--I don't even have to be on the ground in the US to see that this is being blown full of hot air due to partisan hatred of the sitting president.

'Bama wants us good 'murcans dead so he can take muh freedoms away.

Only the part of this thread located in Maryland, it seems.

A message board is a venue for discussion of topics which you can choose to enter into as and when you see fit; Facebook is an information-sponge in which your only "choice" as regards interaction is limited to brief "I approve of this message" style posts with a horrendously-constructed thread...

Moral to the story? All cops are bastards.

Then join us in our spiteful pointing and laughing. It warms the soul.

This.

We've all experience some degree of violence in our lives, some more than others. I grew up in the middle of what was essentially a civil war, terrorism and murder was alarmingly routine. Yet despite all that violence I challenge you to find a single school shooting in this entire country...

It is entirely appropriate to blame murderers for the murders they commit, Assari. No one forced their hands.

Mubarak? Musharraf is still sitting relatively pretty where he is (Pakistan). And in both cases you cite the rebels were a mixed bag of different beliefs; there are militant jihadists in every muslim-majority country (hell, there are militant jihadists in the US and UK). I hardly consider it...

In all honesty, I would have assumed a post-Gaddafi Libya would be the least threatening nation for US ambassadors--having been a long-time enemy of the dictator they just topped, it would have been my assumption that Libyan rebels would have been on good terms with the US. I mean, obviously...

One faction of many; the rebels have basically been a coalition of different forces tentatively united against Assad's government. Once he's ousted, further civil war as this alliance collapses was basically an inevitability anyway, but at that stage foreign intervention becomes much easier as...

Big online companies want this because it'll choke out competition; politicians want it because big online companies have told them it'd be a good idea. As always, big capitalist businesses are shafting the public by having their sticky hands in politicians' funholes, and the folk who support...

Some of the words you're using are a bit too big for Sam to grasp, like "full" and "it".

Forfty percent of people know that.

On one hand I trust the technology, but on the other hand I don't trust Stormont enough to actually make it happen.

He walked out of the house unarmed and fended off an armed attacker by being quicker than his attacker. That's down to reflexes.

I imagine it's the only party he's ever been invited to.

Sucks. I never quite got into Slayer as much as I felt I should but my teenage years were dominated by thrash.
