  1. Nah, wealth and power have. Religion is just so often used as a moral jusification. The crusades weren't just about capturing the holy land, they had more to do with capturing the asian trade routes
  2. Don't get me wrong, I like cooking and have a vry nice set of mundial chef's knives. I know the value of a good, sharp knife.
  3. How would a knife help a child anyway? My comments were directed at the sort of people who think it is cool to carry knives for "defence" purposes, those sort of people would most likely find their arses in gaol if they ever did try to use their knives to assault someone, whether in self defence or not, the law (particularly in Victoria) tkes a very dim view on people who carry knives. And quite frankly, so do I.
  4. And how often does that happen in australia? You have a higher chance of dying from having a vending machine fall on your head. *edit*
  5. I enjoy having inter-dimensional psychedelic cephalopods suckling at the synaptic centres of my brain. It makes me feel good.
  6. The "Jewish question", what's next the final solution?

  8. And a happy Saturnalia to you, too!
  9. I'd say your CPU is cooked, but that's just a guess. If you initially has powersupply problem it could have fried the rest of your hardware. What MoBo and CPU are you using?
  10. Yeah but try telling that to somebody screaming abuse at you, insisting that it is "illegal" to call them Although, most people tend to be able to tell the difference. Anyway, those political phone surveys are a load of arse. Ever wondered why the ALP is consistently ahead in the polls yet lose elections? I reckon it is because they are only representative of the voting intentions of the 1/20 people who are likely to agree to being polled and more liberal (small 'l' liberal that is) people with a greater social conscience are more likely to think they are doing the right thing by participating. Whereas the other 19/20 people who refuse to participate are more likely to vote with conservative parties.
  11. It is really heartening to see the spread of independence from ,Washington sweeping Latin America at the moment. Especially as it has genuine indigenous strains to it, for the first time power is starting to swing away from foreign/colonial influences. Further reading: Latin America declares independence
  12. Is it possible to use the youtube embed script on this board?

  14. Or, you can have a bit of fun with it... 'hi, my name is such-and-such, how are you today?' 'really, really bad actually' 'uh...[pause]' 'yeah, my dog just got run over' 'oh... i'm sorry to hear that. well, i'm just calling becau-...' 'i had him for years, he was my best friend' 'ah, that's too bad. well, as i was say-...' 'and my nanna just died, i'm devestated' 'er...' 'i'm just so depressed, i don't know what to do! and i haven't spoken to anybody for months *sobs loudly* click- BEEP, BEEP, BEEP Works like a charm everytime.
  15. I just got fired from morgan-gallop last week... Man, it felt GOOD
  16. For starters, the article doesn't say that opus dei are out to assassinate chavez. There is a brief reference to their alleged involvement with a marine accused of espionage in Washington- although I agree that the idea of assassination teams are a little far fetched, especially coming from an un-named intelligence source. Second, it is undeniable that opus dei members were involved in the 2000 coup http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/...4398693,00.html http://lanr.blogspot.com/2006/05/opus-dei-...nst-chavez.html Is the organisation itself involved or rather is it simply that individual members tend to share the same ideology as those opposed to Chavez (or Allende, or Arbenz, or Bonilla etc. etc. etc.), we will probably never know as they are far too secretive. But the fact remains that right-wing catholicism has a long and shadowy history in Latin America and I would not at all be suprised to find out opus dei played, or intends to play, a significant role in the attempted overthrow of Chavez.
  17. Ok, you win At least you are polite to them, I probably would never have been until i did a stint of market research.
  18. It means your phone number is listed in the public domain, ie. the phone book, if you don't like being contacted have it removed. Simple.
  19. Shit like this: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?...light=venezuela Warmongering arseholes
