Mosque at Ground Zero
^So people who oppose/protest against the building are naturally bad just because they do?

What has OT Taught you
THAT'S A LOAD OF HORSE [cabbage] AND HERE'S WHY. I think me means on tip.it as well. Its easier to argue with people that don't know you and will probably never meet you. It's why people troll. You can be a total [puncture], but unless you're horrible at the Internet it isn't going to be traced back to your real life. Also I disagree on points 2, 3, and 4 because... Hm well, obviously people go to forum x 'cause they want to discuss different matters. And of course it's easier to do it on the internet. However, it also depends on what person you are IRL. Just a few years ago i wouldn't speak my mind about topic-x, but now i say what comes to my mind. Even if it's not the "correct" thought.

Mosque at Ground Zero
[spoiler=spoil] One could argue that it wasn't extremist strippers that destroyed the tower (Think of the public response to that), or that strip clubs aren't religious in any way. Or that it was there before 9/11, or any other explanations I missed. I made that same joke. It wasn't Destiny and Serenity, who put bombs in their double dees and blew it up. It's a simple fact, in my opinion, I have NOTHING against muslims, despite them being a rival religous group. It was muslims who blew up 9/11, no one is denying that. And it is muslims wanting to build it. Now back to my point, would anyone raise their voice if Christians blew up an abortion center and then tried to build a church over it? NO. NO ONE WOULD. It's all damn geo politics. THe majority of europe (well almost majority) are muslim, and for some reason America is trying to up their status. And it's damn foolish. Now, go ahead Magekillr, you can restart your spiel now. Praise god, I mean... sorry. Praise a spiritual figure combination of all religions that you are here, to show us all what awful people we all are. Muslim numbers are increasing in Europe, no denying that. But they are as of now, not the majority. E: Too late answer.

Mosque at Ground Zero
^So if you oppose the building of a mosque, you are racist, xenophobic, bigot or whatever? Have i understood you correct?

What has OT Taught you
Hm, that people don't read guidelines before writing a thread in T&C. What i came here to comment was tho, that i almost disagree with everyone on the OT threads when it comes to politics, social issues etc etc.

Computer Slowing Down
^No, the slowest memory stick dictates the speed. Removing the side when it's hot is bad, the air-flow gets messed up and there's more air to handle.

2011/12 Football Season
I don't like these 6-0 results too much, reminds me too much of the Spanish league when Barca/RM are playing any other team. Fulham - Man U was quite a nice game. United didn't impress me. Good stuff from Hangeland, fitting that he got the header in. I don't believe the penalty was a penalty, not intentional handball and no big movement with his arm. Evans was really really poor today, Vidic had to come and rescue the situation he were in a few times. Everton starting home game was, hm... I don't know how to put it, less of a desirable result. Biliyaletinov (the Russian, can't bother to google his name) should have been subbed a lot earlier in my book. He missed a few great opertunities to score. But also, i don't know why some people tip Wolves to go out, i think they'll end in 15th. I'm surprised if they go. If i had my way, i'd see Pienaar either sign a new deal or sell him. Should be able to get about 10£-ish mil for him which would do good, little over a week to go in the window. Also, i noticed it still says 2009/10. I'll pm a mod and ask for it to be changed.

The Metal Thread
Just heard the new Maiden album. It is quite ok, about the same as AMOLAD in my opinion, around a 7. The only thing that stands out is El Dorado, i don't like the song at all. Otherwise it's quite enjoyable, will take a few listenings to get used to tho. A few things: It's funny to discuss Maiden with people on the internet, it's not very PC to criticize Maiden. Everything they do is great it seems. Don't get me wrong, it's my favorite band since i first discovered them 12 years ago. But everything is almost hailed as "great". Oh well... And i should really start a subscription on a metal magazine again, i don't really follow the news much anymore, haven't been walking around expecting this album very much. I don't like Blabbermouth, the website is so [cabbage]ty designed that it annoys the [cabbage] out of me, so you get a bit starved of news.

2011/12 Football Season
Starting with a loss is not great, altho last year against Arsenal was miles worse. Beckford, well, i've only seen him a couple of times in Leeds and i thought he sometimes drifted away from the game and wondered where he was. Same thing against Blackburn, obviously there's a massive difference in the game and it's his first competetive game. If he starts more than he becomes a sub, i don't really know what to expect... 10 goals too much? Would be nice.

Homosexuality: Right or Wrong?
Hah. So, if i don't get aroused by a nude guy, and if i'm neither lying or horrified (why would you be horrified?), what am i then? A biological freak? lol. And i don't count noticing different sexes as bi, in my book, you have to be sexually attracted for it to count.

What movie(s) did you last see?
It's about Brazil's elite force (The BOPE) that takes down drug lords in the favelas, it's really great. It shows how corrupt the Brazilian police is and how brutal the BOPE can be. I've seen it too. I loved the brutality of it and that the crims really got what they deserved. However, it was it bit weird... It kinda jumped from one place to another and a bit difficult to follow. I'd liked more fight scenes. @Dizzle: Learn Swedish, Norwegian or Danish and you'll understand it hehe. The dialogue isn't important. But don't watch it as a horror movie, watch it as a comedy! I haven't laughed so much for a long time when i saw it.

What movie(s) did you last see?
An American Carol. I watched it a few weeks ago. I liked it. I wouldn't have liked it if it was a pro-left movie, it's not so much pro-right (but obviously a bit). I liked it because it was making fun of Michael Moore and the whole left movement. There's very few movies like this, most movies make fun of the right. The plot is not particulary hard hitting, but quite a lot of funny jokes and moments. As i said, few weeks ago since i watched it so i don't remember too much, but i'd recommend it. Holy Water The plot sounded really funny. But the movie... Wasn't. I had expected to rate it at a 7 after i'd seen it, but i'll give a 4. Ok if you don't have anything to do or anything else to watch+a bag of crisps, otherwise i'd not recommend it. Nothing happend, it sounded like a comedy, but it was a very dry film. ----- I might watch Icarus tonight, but the plot sounds a bit iffy. Former assasin and everything, so far great. But then you read the plot and "save his family blahblahblah". I don't want any romantic family stuff, give me some guns and bullets, chicks yes, but in biknis!

The worst thing you've ever tasted?
I find cigars to be much, much worse. It's not that it tastes different, one is just packed with more tobacco. There's a hell of a lot of difference between a standard [bleep] and a cigar in taste.

No reason to get DDR2 when DDR3 is better and cheaper. And if he doesn't do other than office work and an occasional movie, he won't notice the litte loss with a integrated gpu.

2011/12 Football Season
City with Balotelli now. Hah, their squad is really one "sympathetic squad". Mourinho weren't able to straighten out his psyche so i don't really see Mancini being able to. Everton starts against Rovers on their turf, and i haven't seen any massive improvement on their squad, so i'll say 2-0 to Everton. And my [developmentally delayed]ed 2nd sports channel won't air Leyton Orient - Charlton on friday, instead they are airing a documentary from 2001, yey! I usually have to stream the lower leauge games, since they are clowns on that channel.

Since you said your uncle won't be gaming i thought it is pretty useless to throw in graphics card. Obviously you could get a cheaper motherboard and a graphics card. But it will run movies, RS and Wow (on low-med settings i guess) without a problem. And you could get a better cpu if you want to max the available cash. Oh edit: I thought it was 4-500 for the lot. Cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103809 In my opinion, if he ain't gonna do heavy stuff, the Athlon 2 x4 will be perfect. If you want a graphics card, say... But i guess it won't be needed.

2011/12 Football Season
Ok right, soon start of the PL. Lower leagues have already started. I really hope that my sports channel which has the right to Championship/L1/L2 will straighten out their act. Last year they didn't air matches for weeks some times, then all the sudden 3 games in a week. It's parent channel is a clown channel, so you couldn't really demand much from them. But i mean for instance, during the spring i remember them showing some table-tennis match instead of a championship match... I mean, come on!!! I really really wish i had Sky Sports. I think Blackpool, WBA (yo-yo team) and Wigan will have to say goodbye after this season. I think that Wolves might surprise some people, they look really strong with some of their new signings. Last year i said Chelsea would win, this year i'm saying ManU (i can't see Arsenal challenging unless goalie+central def are signed). Martin O'Neill quit Villa yesterday, and i think that if they are a bit unlucky, they'll finish outside EL place. Oh well, summer soon ends, but football starts!

Motives begind criminal actions
Being a 16 year old, I don't think prison would have been the proper place to put him. At such a young age, he is hopefully at a point where they can help him and prevent him from being some sort of career criminal. I don't think a 3 year sentence is going to achieve that however, but a restorative course of action could have a real chance of success I think. I don't think it's right to put a 16 year old in prison either, but he isn't transferred to prison when he becomes an adult (18). That is what annoys me about this particular case. One explanation for this which probably amps up our percentage by a bunch is because the definition of rape is much looser here in Sweden than in other countries. For example, it doesn't require forced penetration for it to be called rape. Additionally, some countries don't regard rape within marriage, date rape or even homosexual rape as "rape" at all, so they don't report it, which I'd imagine skews the statistics quite a bit.Yes i know. Obviously, people in i.e. Africa don't report it to the police in the amount of western countries. Of course i know that the real numbers would make Congo&co go to the top of the list. But you cannot deny that we have an extreme amount of rapes in Sweden. I view rape as a worse crime than screwing the government out of a couple of millions in taxes. However, the economic criminals are sent to prison with longer sentences. I find it disgusting.Of course, I do too. Our judicial system is far from perfect, but nobody claimed it was, so I don't see how it's relevant to what we're talking about; other than giving you a reason to segway into a court case where an immigrant did something bad so you can complain about our immigration politics and how our country is going down the gutter for the hundredth time. Especially when you bring up statistics that are uncertain at best (there's probably a good reason for why Sweden is left out in a lot of studies regarding rape). I commented the sentences regarding rape.
