Its a doco on the disapearance of 2000 taliban soldiers at the hands of american and northern aliance troops should be interesting.

Originally posted by Gwydion:It´s not quite the same thing, but there is currently a video in the hands of the German government, the UN, and now the US government which was made by a couple of german journalists in afghanistan just after the defeat of the taliban. [/b]
I believe this video will be making an appearance on SBS tommorow night 8.30 should be interesting judging by the trailer.

ERRRRRRM uh i have watched it a bit mainly because i have 13 black sabath albums and several of ossies solo records, to say he wasn,t much of muso is bit harsh torsten he certainly used to deliver a lot of individual raw rock unlike a lot of the shit these days wich is all just rehashed shit and samples, but hey im a fan and therefore biased. the show itself comes with some laughs mainly for me because of the way the dude handles such a fucked up bunch,
honest remark i thought. um im not stupid enough to not know a lot of it is a sham, the guys a showman and always will be but there still seems to be a lot of down to earth basics about him concidering hes life.Cant say i have watched for a while and i dont keep track of when its on but if i come across it whilst surfing ill watch it. oh and hes english not american but i supose hes been there long enough to be corupted: "I Love you all dearly but your all fucking mad"[This message has been edited by shroomy (edited 13 January 2003).]

mally i share you pain, i to am subject to these random intrusions into my private life, but all is not lost, for three years i managed to avoid detection(i should point out that i gave up mj after that) from mj by simply cutting down to just a cone or two a week ussaually corrasponding to the first day of the weekend. I dont know what sort of test you are doing but im presuming its a roach screening cup folowed by a more advanced method should you fail that. the australian standard cut of point for THC is 0.50ng per 100 mls of blood. to get to this level is relative easy but if you limit your smoking to a couple cones a week and your not overweight or you have a good fast metabilism you should be right to pass a screening test; if however you are unlucky enough to be on a first strike your out thing than disregard the above.. And forget the child piss thing unless you have a way to keep it at around 35 to 38c they test for tempreture and they also test for high creatine levels and other adulterants. also when you supply your test make sure its not the first urine passed for a long period and exspeicially not the first for the day, and always give them mid stream IE: not the first or last bits. A very clever little gnome i know asked hes drug tester if he could have two test cups because he suspected hes children were taking (god forbid) illicit substances, after obtaining these cups he went home and mistakingly swallowed 4g,s of cubensis (mmmmmmmmmmm cubensis ) well he thought i wonder if this will show up so he pee,d in the cup and guess what nothing, so being a smart gnome he waited till the next morning and repeated the test, and again nothing. the moral of hes story is that there are many things out there that in small doses that can be great fun and they have the advantage of not being tested for or have such a short half life that unless you have taken them immeaditly prior to the test you wont get caught. BY ALL MEANS BE CAREFUL and make sure you understand exactly what you injest and what it will likly do to you, and for god sake try anything in small doses at home first not ever for the first time in party situation or you will likly live to regret it. anyway goodluck with it .

yes there is a link and i think it all has to do with dairy products. My stepmother developed breast cancer two years ago thankfully they caught it in time and there is still no sign of it returning. Anyway during her many visists to discusion and self help groups about her disease she found out there seems to be a lot of links between dairy products and cancer. as you said Torsten wealthy areas have higher rates of cancer and it has been shown that many third world countries have a only a tiny percentage of the rates compared to wealthy western countries; even in sydney there is a higher rate of breast cancer in the traditional wealthier suburbs on the north compared to the poorer suburbs in the west, its also been shown that the wealthier suburbs consume a great deal more dairy products; as a wealthy nation we consume a lot dairy products compared to the cancer free third world countries.
A butcher friend of mine also pointed out that when you think about it we are the only speicies to consume dairy after weening. although there is no hard evidence to support theses claims yet there is a lot mounting up in favuor of this theory

Sorry for taking so long to reply but that thing that pays the bills needs to be done. um no it wasnt that drumming one,thank goodness. i only caught the second half as usual but it was interesting. they showed a Andian ritual at some high altitude lake conducted by a shaman with the help of some juiced sanpedro. interesting way to swallow it to through the nose whith the aid of what looked like a small animal horn. Also showed a south american shaman brewing ayahuasca which they even pronounced correctly. there was no real news but it did give an Overall and unbiased (IMHO) look at drug use over the ages and even went as far as to put the point that alchahol seems to be a drug that western culture can tolerate and your more interesting options tend to be far more appreiciated by eastern cultures. another interesting point it raised was that these evil drug taking cultures have never had a drug problem in there societies until western culture intervenes and isolates these into there pure form ie opium-heroin. all in all a good show but i have no idea if it will be on again as i refuse to pay an extra $3 a month for a guide.

i did here a of a method on the radio the other day stating that a small sponge soaked in a little lemmon juice and than inserted by the female before sex is almost a foolproof method and it apparantly also greatly reduces the risk of the bum flu. this method has apparantly been used over the ages. (disclamer- its only somthing i heard on the radio jjj i think)

Right wheres that fucking soap box are here it tis. Tell that to a 40 year old man/woman who has a mortgage and three kids and has worked in the same job all of their lives.A lot of these affected people live in the country where there is often little or no choice as to employment oppertunities.Originally posted by squiresk:You do have a choice about where you work, and there is always the safety net of the dole (Yeah, I know its not much but, keeps you alive).[b/]
These laws are being eroded everyday. take for instance MR Abotts latest bit of legislation before parliment where he asks that before any worker can strike they must first inform there employer and the industrial court of there intentions and than the employer may apply to have the strike made illeagle if it will affect hes buisness in any way. well hello but isnt that the point. people in this country seem to believe that all the good pay and work conditions were given to us WELL they fucking wernt they fought hard for by our fathers and granparants so as we could enjoy what we have now.I don't like blatant exploitation, but there are Laws to fall back on.
so shouldnt we learn from other peoples mistakes before anyone suffers the same thing here?.America has got itself in deep shit, basically coz its been breaking/dihonestly interpreting the laws. Now they are suffering. What goes around, comes around.
I think i know the guy well enough to know he wouldnt do that. But there are plenty of employers who couldn,t give a rats arse about working conditions and will happily off anyone who doesnt tow the line there way.If Torsten decides to pay slave labour wages to whoever, then he can't expect his projects to prosper. You are what you eat/employ etc..[b/]
so you are happy to see families struggle, people die at an early age due to overwork, communities torn apart because of excessive work hours and OUR whole standard of living lowered so you can recieve a bigger dividend on your sharesAs a shareholder in some (UK) compaines and shortly in CBA here, I am happy to see a company try and get as much profit etc. as possible. After all, this is what effecient market are all about. If a company does well, an employee does well, a student does well, whatever. they will tend to prosper.We can't all live off others charity.A fair days work for a fair days pay thats all i ask.
i fail to see how the destruction of a species can be defined as goodI dunno, lets take something like fishing quotas. In the UK, the North sea used to be teaming with Cod (your basic staple whitefish), now its deviod. These huge trawlers are have stripped everything. They are now going outta business, huge ships to maintain, no fish/cash to maintain them with. This is good.
Now we haved wiped out that speicies lets start on another and lets just keep going and hey if the fish arent important than why should the other non profit humans be.Now in an effecient market, the other/small niches open up, other species become popular.
And hopfully in the end we will have people going to see in canoes earning two fish and a kick in the ass a week for there trouble.the smaller co's prosper trawling where the big chaps can't get to. Its a cycle, things change, and the ones that are the best at things prosper.
so what you proposing is that we destroy everything except money(divedends remember)and than all will be better. surely we would be better off to reconise and fix these problems before they occur.Nature (hopefully) catches up, and it leads to the folk who have a vested interest in anything to protect for their own futures, they learn to preserve and have a sustainable industry. I'm blabbing on, but anyway I see everything as a kinda of evolution.
yes it prolly will but i for one would like my kids to see and enjoy it with same freedoms and rights as i have now.If we fuck up this planet well die, but IT will bounce back.
i cant remember whos story im quoting here but it goes like this.Several scientist got four monkey,s and placed them in a room with a bunch of bannanas in the middle. immieditly the monkey,s tried to eat the bannanas but they were hit with blasts of cold water every time they attemted to eat them.Eventually they gave up, at this point one monkey was removed and another new monkey was placed in the room this monkey of course headed straight for the bannanas but before he could get to the he was attacked by the other monkeys until he learnt not to eat the bannannas.once he learnt they would remove another original monkey and replace it with a new one. this went on until all the original monkeys that had been sprayed with water had been removed yet the other monkeys would still attack any new monkey who tried to eat the bannannas.Why because thats the things have always worked around here.I think every thing is like this, down to office politics, to companies, to industries, to countries, continents, whatever. Its always gonna happen, you just gotta live with it.
yes there are things you can do, Join a fucking union and tell the pricks they pay the right money and provide the right conditions or they go down the shit shoot with you.If you feel you being taken advantage of, there a things you can do. Leave, better yourself, change jobs, whatever, Christ you have the the opportunities in this country.
now i know you are jokingBuy one share in an whaling fleet company/ vivsection company and use your vote.
i like that oneDon't like the bank fees or the fact they are shutting up shops everywhere, buy shares in them, let them pay you back, they'll earn more from you, so why not earn some shite from them.

people take what they can get because the alternative is nothing and employees know it, they also know in todays competive world people will sell out their mates for a dollar so you iether work for this amount or joe blow over there will.Originally posted by Torsten:thanks for all these. keep them coming.
It appears that our culture has changed in the last 15 years. When I last worked an unqualified casual job I remember that no one would consider working for less than award wages. It seems quite obvious from the replies here that this isn't the case anymore and that people take what they can get.
you would have noticed when you checked theses awards that all of them have been stripped down to 20 clauses all thanks to little Johnies vision for a fair workplace.Another thing I noticed when checking these replies and the awards is that in the last 15 years the cost of basic living (rent & food) has easily doubled (in metro areas), while the awards have not.
Another popular ploy for employers is to employ a small amount of people who they suspect of being in financial trouble or they know are just plain bum lickers than negotiate (enforce) a enterprise bargain agreement that will cover the workplace. that way all further employees are placed under all of the conditions of that agreementGiven on top of that that people are willing to work for under award, this sheds a little light on why a third of the workforce works over 50 hours a week and australia has the third longest working week of the developed nations.
. Im sure in some cases the latter might be true. But its simply a fact that the few years of a libral goverment has seen awards stripped and basic employee rights abolished not to mention out right attacks on unions remember the Dubi thing with men in balaclavas and gaurd dogs., in a recent study it showed that only 20% of working australians are members of unions but when a pole was done asking workers from across the board "if you had a clear choice to belong to a union would you" 55% people answered yes. the reason why there are not 55% of people in unions is because of employer bullying and out right discrimination against unionists. to think that the average joe can walk into a bosses office and negotiate a fair and equitable agreement on there own is a joke. all of these larger companies employ human resouces officers(I hate that fucking term)who have gone to uni for years to learn the ins and outs of industrial law and than some poor bloke who left school in year nine is ment to walk in know what hes doing, guess who wins.Amongst other social implications I wonder if this is a result of weaker unions or if Unions lost loyal followers cos they weren't getting a good deal anyway.
I only hope your right and people relise that by sticking together you have a much louder and more powerful voice.Any one who thinks companies like Rio Tinto and ther ilk are really good guys with our interests at heart are fooling their selves and hurting everyone else along with them.I dont like properganda but to me this rings true "United we stand Divided we beg". "HEY BRING BACK THAT SOAPBOX" dam more latter.Surely there has to be a pendulum effect and I am wondering if the pendulum is swinging back at the moment.[This message has been edited by shroomy (edited 31 July 2002).]

doubling up prescriptions
in Chill Space
Posted
I have no intentions of doing this if its possible; but hypotheticly :if a person was to scan a legit script and email it overseas what would than stop them from filling there script from there local chemist therefore doubling up? . i wouldnt like to see this sort of illeagle activity happen but is it possible.
