2012 is a year not a day.

I like the "OR pass it and cause other repercussions that the american public doesn't know about" as you can not think of an actual positive for Bush's decision.

Russia i would like to take a trip to next. Amsterdams redlight district is a strange place. I walked into what i thought was some sort of chinese establishment. How i was wrong. That was many years ago.

So vintage i'd pay 200k for it.

There is quite a marked improvement in his pixels.

Do you not understand what conscription is? You don't say hey, I want to go! That is volunteering. Conscription is them calling you up. If you don't go, you're going somewhere-prison. Remember if you're an American male over 18, you have to be enlisted with the selective service if you want to be able to hold any type or respectable job or enroll in any type of secondary education. Once you enlist (which you pretty much have to) you no longer have any right to say you don't want to go. Hopefully a draft will never happen, and if it does it will not be for an unecessary battle far away. If it does happen it will hopefully be for defending our soil or a WWI/WWII type scenario where we are defending close allies and stopping the enemies from potentially coming to us. I believe if we really are attacked, a draft won't even be necessary though since many people would join up voluntarely. I know that if someone literally decided to attack us, I would. Then I'll go to jail, or I'll flee the country, anything beats fighting and dying in a war that has no purpose. Ok, traitor. You sign up for the selective service to reap all the benifits, but when push comes to shove you wuss out? :-k ANd you know, "going to canada" is no longer an option. There is some kind of agreement now that they can go hunt you down there, although I don't know the name of it. Some peoples principles extend far beyond blind patriotism. Like Franz JÃÆÃâÃâägerstÃÆÃâÃâätter.

The 'Defenders Best Bits' post will forever haunt him. Im glad he is happier now and fighting for hugging.

I thought the justification for conscription was that the country was under a serious threat. Considering there is no reason to have to go into Iraq in the first place, and occupying it at the moment is due to the culmination of the United States governments appauling foreign policy over the past fifty years - There is no serious threat to the USA. Conscription to support a blunder is probably more criminal than the entering of Iraq in the first place. His speech made me feel nauseous. Another kick in the face for the country founded on Philosophy, i doubt this would ever get past the house of representatives.

Don't read it.

Im from around Manchester and I am currently living in the center. Your words hurt. :notalk:

Tea is probably the greatest thing in the world. A drop of milk and no sugar is the way to go with it.

Perhaps you have heard the phrase people use when talking about great movies? Sometimes whats not shown has much more impact than what is shown. In a book none of it is shown.

Why?

Yes there was.

Like a dissertation or something?

What? But it has happened. And to me, you have to be very stupid to launch a nuclear bomb. And a newsflash to you: you don't have to be very wise to control a country. For example lets take current U.S. president, he can't be very wise. :-k If you think Bush can suddenly decide to launch a nuclear bomb then you need to engage your brain. The USA is the leading democratic superpower, you honestly believe that his word is that of a tyranical leader? You really think he has enough power to launch a nuclear bomb on his command? Do you think that they let one man have that much control over the most devestating weapon we can use, devestating in the sense of it first killing millions of people and potentially ending the world as we know it? Of course not, you make it seem that he is [developmentally delayed], and has some God like powers to do the most undemocratic and ridiculous thing imaginable in the country so hellbent on spreading democracy. Yes i agree, the USA's foreign policy is a shambles but then again it has been for the majority of it's existance. For a country that now wants to throw democracy around the globe has a long past in enstating tyranical leaders into power and supporting their regimes. However no one is stupid enough to actually believe that one man now holds the power to destroy the world, and certainly not an American president and certainly not George Bush. When did I say Bush has power to launch nuclear missile? Thats right, never. I said U.S. has used nuclear bombs. And.. correct me if i'm wrong, the president does the final decicion on using nuclear weapons. Right ok, so your justification now for the USA launching a nuclear weapon is not that Bush "can't be very wise", but you claim it is because they have done so in the past, in the 1940's. Well did any of the axis powers have nuclear bombs? Or did any other country in the world have nuclear bombs to retaliate? Times change and so do situations, if you want an answer to the question "Would the USA launch a nuclear misile if the conditions of the world were the same as they were in 1945?" then i would agree it could be possible, however that is 70 years ago.

Is this your first year studying law? If so cling on to the memories of the fun of criminal law and even constitutional law. Soon they will be wiped away with things like tort. Is it not correct that after a law degree you will join the Bar. Whats this stage of "laywer" that is in your plan? Anyway, i am studying Politics & Philosophy, so i will either rule you or write about you - or neither. Yes its my first year, first term, and I've heard of the terrors of tort from a friend at Cambridge :lol: . The plan isnt really set in stone or anything, being a barrister is the end goal at the moment though but I don't really know. Politics ruling law? Ha, long live the power of judicial review and the convention of separation of powers (bear in mind I'm just starting, so I may be wrong). Have you studied law as well? Who has the ability to propose new bills? MP's. Who has the ability to pass bills? MP's (and if you have a majority, very easily). Who has some crappy four year veto ability and then can do jack all? The House Of Lords. Granted, MP's are very crude in their drafting and writing of Bills, so indeed long live judicial review. However the power always rests in the elected. The reason why i mentioned the Laywer thing i because in England we do not have Laywers, we only have Solicitors and Barristers. Even though the Thatcher government distorted the lines between their abilitys a little, we're still quite far from having the two combined.

My friends family lives in Calabria (and he used to) i think he was telling me about something like that causing contraversy. His family is pretty damn shady itself.

Blood Simple is one of the finest neo-noirs i have seen. Lets not forget Chinatown as well. Check out stuff like The Usual Suspects and Bonne and Clyde. I too however perfer the orginal genre.

Stupid people do not control countries. They must have an intelligence about them in order to be in the position to launch a nuclear bomb. No one in power is stupid enough to launch a nuclear missile. Especially countries like the USA, Russia, UK who believe it or not do not have dictators with a red button under their desks who can can press it when having a bad day. The only possible use of nuclear weapons would be if they got into terrorists hands, but they have not in the last 60 years.

Absinthe is a lot stronger, it's something ridiculous like 60-80%.

Places like Spain, Italy and France get it right. Introducing wine at meals, watered down from 12 years old and progressing that. They don't have the kind of problems we have now in the UK because of that. I was brought up like that anyway and so don't get quite as drunk (as easily) as many others. And yeah, absinthe, they sell it bottled in every damn place. I have never seen it sold in a bar though, and it is disgusting anyway. And a pint of it would probably lead to needing your stomache pumped.

Why didn't you inform me! :P I think it opens around the same time as it does in the USA here. Cate Blanchett looks damn good as Dylan thats for sure. I first heard about her playing him and i was thinking "[beep]ing hell" but she pulls it off almost perfectly. Voice still is a tiny bit high but she nailed his accent and his look. Apparently it features a lot of covers of Dylan songs as well as orginal material. The only scene i saw was Blanchett playing Dylan and in the back ground an instrumental version of Ballad Of A Thin Man was happening, so i guess we will see a mix of his music more adapted to the screen as well.
