Bah, all I know is, who the fuck is Calis and why did he steal my avatar?

I blame the Illuminati

My favorite professor from undergrad died. He taught European history, focused on WWII, which he experienced first hand. Dr. Peterson taught for something like 50 years until he up and died one day from pneumonia. I drank all week when I heard the news. :cry:

I got a set of surgical grade dissecting tools along with a 2uL pipet (to complement my 10, 100, 200 and 1000uL collection) for playing evil scientist. I also got a set of Henckel kitchen knives and a parental paid clothes shopping trip thru the Twin Cities. The parents got one slave's labor...

Uh huh, does the President claim to follow the word and lessons of a celebrity? bah And new sig!

Invading Iraq made the world a much more dangerous place by destabilizing the region, acting as a rallying cry in madrasses (sp?) around the world, reducing American prestige and trustworthiness via founded accusations of torture, and further jeopardizing the American economy through debt and...

The building the center foreground is the World Trade Center, right? And great stuff man, definitely wallpaper material!

I notice the distinctive arches on a building in the center foreground; they are the same as the ones on the World Trade Center. Nice touch to a superb piece of art. Hats off to Defonten!

Isn't this just a reiteration of Macchiavelli's feared vs loved argument? Anyways, not a soul fears me, but most who know me, irl or on the internet respect me, so I guess I have no basis of comparison and will stick with the whole respect/love thing. Then again, when women respect you hey...

I'd bet he's referring to sex dolls. :twisted: And I'd invest it, then buy a house once the bottom falls out of the housing market. Better yet I'l buy the building I live in now and use the rent money it generates to live out my dream of playing wow all day long.

Sure you do! Youre Swedish, you test the penis pumps!

Like a loose grasp of the English language?

Llama? :scratch:

Doctoral Candidate in cancer biology, Penn State.

Did TheWesDude just say something? I ignore his unreadable posts now. And how does Civ4 handle corruption then?

I understand your distinction perfectly well, Kharn. My argument is that your distinction is irrelevent for almost all applications. Your statement made me think that you completely discounted the reality of representation, versus the narrow diplomatic definition. Hence my retort.

This is why I plan on leaving the country. I figure that if I'm getting paid in a foreign currency, especially one from a country with a balanced budget, I can come and retire back in the states as a king after the dollar is devalued three-fold or more. I hear Australia is nice. Although...

I think we've found another aspect that separates Europe from the US. Anyone working fro the goverment, from the pm/president to the janitor is a representative of that government to me. That includes arguments about trains (wtf?). Any other definition is a road downwhich you can allow your...

Sure Kharn, whatever. You stay up in your ivory tower, while the rest of us (especially those of us who's country's have a military to speak of) will stay down here in the real world. In a philosophical sense, you are right. But because none of us, save you perhaps, live in the Land of...

Soldiers represent they're country in the sense that they are the ones we see on television, acting out the will and interests of their country. When a soldier commits atrocities in Abu Ghraib or rapes a Okinawan schoolgirl, or cuts a gondola wire while showboating, that reflects on the country...
