Heh! I still use my Zenit (made in 1977 in the USSR - our "enemy" back then) SLR :)
Fantastic camera - the telefoto lens is unbelievable (especially since it freaking looks like a bazooka :D)
I doubt I can tell a 10 megapixel camera from a 1 megapixel camera if it reached up and bit me in the...
My humble opinion about the so called health benefits?
Pure soyashit.
Consider this oft non-represented fact: 2 billion people are more or less uncircumscised (see Indians and Chinese practices) - yet you don't hear of diseases or disorders amongst their population.
My opinion is that the...
I think he says "Don't use Windows Firewall".
cheers,
PS: Sorry about your computer troubles. Sorry, I can't be of much help - my *** understands this stuff more than I do ... hell, I still do some of my typing on my old typewriter. :dunno:
All natural here.
And keeping it that way.
I didn't get my *** circumscised either.
The United States is the only Western nation (with a clear Christian majority ... not enough Jews or Muslims in the population numbers) which has a large section of it's male population circumscised - and this...
Except ofcourse that barely 3 months after the declaration of "Axis of Evil" Bush said "I don't give a flying fuck" and sent about $ 100 million over to Kim anyways.

Clinton does it - bad. Bush does it - good? :confused:
largely agree with this though...
cheers,
I'm not speaking for him.
And really - I don't know what he meant. But when I read that part of his post that your quoted, this is what it sounded like to me:
"All though temptation surrounds us every hour every day, no one but the people involved can make or break a relationship".
I could...
YET another intrusion of/by the government.
This time it's not just our private life - it's our fucking economic life too.
Whatever happened to the constitutional spirit of "leave me the fuck alone"....
cheers,
R. (Who doesn't ****** but believes people should be free to do so).
Our practice of our ideals has been less than perfect, from slavery to our foreign affairs - but I can't find any other nation founded with such great ideals. Despite how much I dislike (and sometimes downright ****) our government, I love my country and cherish her heritage and ideals. I...
Hi Prof,
Did you realise that even before we sent advisors to Vietnam, we taxpayers footed much of the bill for France's involvement in Indo-China? I would agree with much of your post - but I disagree when you say that we had "no strategic interest".
I'm not so sure about that either. Sure we...
I wish we would just quote the same and stop with the whole "Freedom, democracy and liberty for the world" BS.
Absolutely and completely agree. I do think, however, that if and when another nation arises which has international clout like the US - and uses it - then fingers will be pointed at...
Congrats Holdol! :glugglug:
Hmmm, I actualyl misread his name for "haldol" and I thought :: 'Wow! Someone who uses the name of an anti-psychotic **** for a username!' :1orglaugh
cheers,
Not sure what you mean but for the US: Asian = Oriental
As such, the Indians I know LOATHE to be called "asian".
hell, look at any "inter-racial" porn -- when they say "asian", do you think Indian or Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai?
cheers,
Have you seen the wonderful state of our finances?
Poeple keep telling me "well, 4% inflation isn't all that bad".
Really? The dollar has lost over 88% of it's value in my lifetime! A dollar from my youth is worth less than 12 cents today! How did it get to this astonishing figure? What do you...
So this automatically makes NK less of a threat? :confused:
So wait - you're claiming oil was/is a part of this war? :confused:
Our involvement in Vietnam was a given - even before we sent in "advisors", we paid almost 60% (or 80%. My old brain forgets the exact figure) of the French ******...
You knew we agree on this.... ;)
But still...
Uhhh Peter ...Abe Lincoln was the one who quashed the argument of 'States Rights' - something anti-thetical to the current Republican Party, don't you think ;)
Again - I wouldn't compare a Republican of those times with Republicans of today.

Oh yes. "Saddam Hussein could have launched in 45 minutes and ****** us all."
1. A certain section of the muslim world hates us. If ALL of the muslim world hated us, we'd have a gargantuan problem on our hands as there are almost one BILLION muslims int he world today.
2. Stop beating that...
I have no problems "legalizing" ******* and crack either.
A free society doesn't prosecute people for doing dumb **** to themselves. If you want to be stupid enough to burn holes in your brain smoking crystal meth - you have every right to do so.
cheers,
PS: This also means that if you are...
Actually, the government happily used the media to it's advantage.
Nobody thought about Iraq untill Bush announced his intentions post 9/11.
Time to break out that old list again:

Re: I don't like Truman
I thought I'd already anwered this nonsense earlier - and if I'm not mistaken, you AGREED.
Why are we still talking about "Right to write history books" ?
This makes no sense to me. Here's why:
1. It's far easier, cheaper and scientifically more accurate to "test"...
Re: I don't like Truman
Georges my friend - you are as predictable as the other guy you accuse of being predictable.
Since you asked:

Amongst many, many, many more.
I don't necessarily agree with that point of view - in my opinion, people seem...
From a biological perspective - each person's *** is different.
Broadly generalizing - men and women *** out different hormones and slightly different levels of chemicals.
From an arousal perspective, our moderator is quite correct - the human brain is trully a strange thing.

* You know all the answers but no one bothers asking you the questions.

Heh! Not a bad list Roald!
cheers,
Yes,
But the other person has a responsibility too.
You have unprotected sex with strangers - in this day and age, well, you're going to have to be responsible for the consequences.
I'm not saying what she did was right - I'm simply saying that the blame/responsibility lies on more than one...
Re: I don't like Truman
I don't think India and Pakistan are that stupid. If we keep our meddling paws of them - I bet 100 to 1 that they'll work themselves out.
This post strikes a chord with me - my old man was one of those slated to have carried on from Okinawa to the invasion of the home...
Last but not least:
I don't necessarily disagree with the Prof.
Most of what he said is true - the main stream media has no clue what its babbling about... Just because they bring "experts" doesn't make them "credible".
The world thinks we are "breaking the Geneva Conventions" at will. That is...
Finally:
I mention this one because the law qualifies what ought to be done incase a beligerant forfeits his right to PoW status - he can be brought before courts of law.
Now ------
Long story or not, I still have questions regarding those buggers holed up in our prisons - are they...
... continued from my last post:
Given what Geneva Conventions "considers" legal PoWs, I really found it hard when the Supreme Cabal (er... excuse me, the Supreme "Court") declared that the detainees were eligible for Geneva Convention protection. I didn't think that was right then and I still...
Hi Prof,
Allow me to disagree on two issues (though only slightly).
I don't essentially disagree - if you hear some versions of the media, it would almost seem that we've reinstituted the rack!
Ummm, not exactly. The government has accepted that we *might* (hint: political speak) have used...
Hi 'Doc',
To put it simply, I might not be here today if it weren't for a combat medic who didn't abandon me at a bad place at a bad time.
But on an online board? Any fake 'Doc' like you is ok by me :glugglug:
cheers,
Anyone who says that the "US didn't become the world police untill 1941" has obviously forgotten all about WWI. Or the countless banana wars before that. Or the Spanish-American War... so on and so forth.
Anyone who discounts the massive importance of US manufacturing and production in WWII is...
Sorry to break the thread but I've read this expression more than once and thought I'd respond.
That is BS.

I should have clarified:
I think the days of nation-states launching nuclear weapons is long past... not because I think the State has becoe more benevolent but because biological agents are far better. Nuclear weapons can have deterent quality - a shaving can filled with Ebola left open in a...
