Anesthesia

What about a hooray for the users who make the work in the first place? :D

That would not make sense at all, if they were making one it would be a prime attraction for drawing people to the PS3 - the sort of thing they'd want to shout about from the day development started.

Who wants to play a game called "spot the irony"?

Fight the power! Take on the world! Be an individual! Woohoo! You're cool.

I was referencing movie scripts as an example, that much should be clear. They are not my 'source', and I did say in the post that I referenced them in that they are "...works of fiction, I know, but the issues they deal with are real, including that of propaganda". My source is the simple fact that propaganda does exist and is used in all wars. I was not claiming that you were deliberately providing false information, I was questioning the accuracy of it. When it is evident that there is resistance in Iraq then it is obvious that not everyone wants you there and I'm asking how can one man know what the majority opinion is? I'm not saying "I've heard different so yours must be wrong" and as such the number of people I have had contact with is totally irrelevant.

Tell me how that is relevant to how accurate your source is and I'll let you know.

Are you saying that no propaganda is issued? If you read my post I think you'll see that I acknowledge the two films are works of fiction, however the fact that propaganda has been used in all recent wars by all sides concerned isn't. Linky. Your brother-in-law, unless some manner of super-chaplain, will have had contact with a few hundred people, are you telling me that that qualifies him to speak for 26 million people? You too seem to be acting as though I said your information was false, why is this? I simply cast a critical eye over all 'facts' that I'm presented with - it's in my nature as a skeptic.

I said treated with caution. Not disbelieved.

Surely such information has to be treated with a fair amount of caution - have you not seen Full Metal Jacket, or even Good Morning Vietnam? The soldiers hear what their commanders want them to hear - and what their commanders want them to hear is that the war they are fighting is justified and the people surrounding them appreciate what they are doing. Two works of fiction, I know, but the issues they deal with are real, including that of propaganda.

If you haven't already, why not see a counsellor?

I'd be interested to know who reported that post and for what reason. The only reason I can think of would be "omg but teh iraqi ppl are teh ev1l". Honestly, own up...

Remember: it never hurts to lurk a while before starting posting so you get a better understanding of how the board works. That way you are less likely to make mistakes and annoy people.

Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure - another great game. Not entirely sure about that one, but I had a game where you had to move boulders and collect diamonds called Felix, lovely CGA graphics.

Knowing Sony, I'd guess it was the former :P

I doff my cap to them, I could never imagine what it would be like to have to moderate such an unruly quagmire. Still, I guess the pay makes up for it.

15 foot hair? That's quite an achievement. My hair gets annoying when it is hot weather, I have to have it tied up all the time.

I've got long hair but I'm not a boy; I'm a MAN! Through laziness though.

I make fun of people of all ages for the simple reason of their not acting them. As for not liking the advice people are giving, didn't I just show my approval for Dusqi's idea? I did contribute to the thread you know.

You want to make fun of someone for having a difficult childhood? What has that got to do with negativity?

Is anyone else surprised? As for what to do, I'd go with Dusqi's suggestion.

I loved law at A-level, very interesting. Lots of cases to remember though. It would have been my second choice.

Once when I was very young I had this feeling in my hand and I thought it was magic. Turned out it was pins & needles.

I don't know the medical facts, but I've been told that it isn't wise to do much (and I don't know just how much 'much' is) weight training before you've finished growing. I wouldn't advise doing it before you're 16 at least.

Some people will not bother reading the rules no matter how prominent they are. For people like that there is no hope on the forums, and likely in life. Also, why did you bump a post that was still on the first page?
