    Guns

    Keep in mind, they can only be held in gun clubs inder lock and key. You also cannot buy the .22 in the UK, it's just legal for a gun club to own one. They are part of the winter olympics, so they can't ban them outright without looking silly. Like javelins, they can only severely restrict the use of them.
  2. It's a bit of a quandary. It shouldn’t be around, yet it's blasted name it written across most plastic goods mocking me with is persistent existence. I like to pretend it's actually just the name of a really productive man who likes cheap toys.
  3. Sorry, I'm a bit like Monty Burns. I tend to refer to things as they were at the start of the 20th century. Kuwait was part of Iraq that the UK split off when they found it had oil. It was part of Iraq since the dawn of civilisation, and I tend to refer to it as Iraq as a consequence of that. It's not a very helpful thing to do really, but it's how it is in my crazy head. I still refer to Yugoslavia as that newfangled country of Tito's. Honestly, and it really confuses people!
  4. I'm more interested in the coincidence that both George Snr (Ex CIA Director and oil tycoon) and George Jnr (ex alcoholic and ex playboy) became president, both have substantial personal investments in overseas oil in Kuwait (and Enron, apparently) and both invaded Iraq. If that’s not an oligarchy I don't know what is. And he looks like a monkey.
  5. I swallowed one.
  6. Lesson 2 The Red Room: - In the room next to the one in which Joe resides (See Lesson 1 for details) lies the Red room. The red room has red walls, red carpet, red lights and everyone has red clothes on. It makes it a bit tricky to distinguish who is who, as the habitus makes everyone look similar. This isn’t a problem for the occupants, who hit upon the solution of sharing all they had. As it was all red (even the pies!) and there was a finite amount of pennies, they decided the best option was to keep producing pies and placing them in the middle of the room for all to share. Aside from a few greedy individuals who took more than there fair share, this system worked. They called this a communal pie system or commupie for short. Joe saw this approach, and it scared the stuffing out of him. He had a lot of pennies, and needed lots and lots of pies. If that system came across to Joe’s room, Joe would surely wither away from lack of pie. A lot of other people in Joes room agreed that the commupie system left everyone a little hungrier than they would be comfortable with. They decided the best way to combat this philosophy of sharing was to tell everyone who listened that the communal pie system involved eating poo, and getting wedgies. Joe needed not have worried so much, as the greedy pie eaters in the red room would spoil the whole plan. The hungrier of the red room occupants sneaked into Joe’s room, to join in the trading scheme, and Joe laughed at the remaining occupants of the Red room. Well, he laughed quietly as one was very much bigger than Joe and scared him quite a bit. Because Joe was still scared of the remaining occupants of the Red room, especially the big one, he continued to tell everyone they ate poo. But quietly, so as to not anger the one he was scared of. The person in the red room really looked like he could squish Joe flat, like a pie. For extra credit, imagine what would happen to Joe's debts if he was forced to spend half of his pennies on defences to protect him from an attack from the red room. Explain the impact on the poor countrys in the circle of pie poverty.
  7. Well, ok. Not credability then. Principles. Or rectitude. And a shiny logo.
  8. Demosthenes? I thought it was an ironic name, what with the one word posts here and there. Honest, I thought it was quite clever!
  9. Someone should sort out the thread, YT's abuse or change the forum rules. One of those three things should happen. YT’s opinion is something he’s entitled to. I’ll defend his right to voice whatever he likes, but this has gone far past voicing an opinion. By his own admission he’s got little idea what a homosexual relationship involves, he’s just spouting homophobic dogma. Which isn't good for anyone really. It's not constructive.
  10. Happily, the 'gays' do follow YT's logic to a point. Contrary to why YT thinks, rapant bum sex does not occur often in boy on boy lovin'. Neither, obviously, does it with girl on girl. As Sayo says, Sodomy = anal or oral sex. As blokes mostly prefer the latter to the former guess which one is prevalent?
  11. Atinymonkey works as a Business Analyst in a Pan Global corporation, his last project was worth £26 million, the project was based around commercial contracting in a economic substructure. Atinymonkey is now commencing lessons in economics. These lessons, normally contracted out to global companies such as Centrica and Transco, are being staged for the benefit of Newbie, so that after the course he may better understand the complex socio economic climate in which he resides. The course is free, however contracting rates will apply for any consultancy requested. Lesson 1 The Pie Room: - There is a room, and in this room reside 240 people. The people live on pies and the pies cost a penny each. There are 4000 pennies in the room. Each person can produce pies at a different rate depending on there size. The biggest person in the room is Joe, Joe has 2/3 of all the pennies (2666 pennies). Now Joe likes pies, Joe is the biggest person in the room. Joe can make a lot of pies, but needs more than he can make. This is known as a ‘Pie Trade Deficit’. He needs to trade to get more pies. Luckily some countries have more pie than they need, but no pennies. Joe can buy pie from these countries. He can only buy as much pie as is available, and has to buy the pie at the price (a penny) that the country want to sell at. Joe is uncomfortable with that situation, as he does not want to have the pennies taken away from him for a unfair price. He must do something to stop that price from rising. He’s not the only person buying pies, but he buys the most. He decides he need to secure pie trade prices. The only way he can do that is if he has control over the pie produces. The answer is simple, make the countries with no pennies dependent on Joe by giving them pennies as a loan. This way, if they raise the prices, Joe can demand his loan back. Joe knows the loan cannot be repaid as he has most of the money, the countries with no pennies are stuck giving Joe his pies at a fixed rate they cannot alter, so they cannot make much profit. Without much profit they cannot afford to pay Joes loan back and are stuck in a loop. This loop is know as the ‘Circle of Pie Poverty’. There is a problem though. Joe is 40 trillion pennies in debt. He doesn’t really want to eat less pies (Joe is very fat, and getting fatter) but he can get the dependent pie trade (the ones in the ‘Circle of Pie Poverty’) to reduce their prices. These countries can no longer afford to produce enough pies to feed themselves as well as pass pies to Joe. They are forced to borrow more money, or starve. They choose to do both, borrow a bit and eat only what they need to stay alive. For course credit, construct a similar model in which both pies and Peach Juice are sold. Add in the ability for people to purchase parts of each other, such as arms (pie/juice production) and legs (transportation).
  12. Ok. To better explain my point and help you to understand, I will commence a series of lectures designed to give you the grounding in economics you require. I hope you will view this series of courses as a positive step to explaining the global economics that you are currently oblivious to.
  13. I don't get it how does banning a URL mean ignore user ? Did someone change the internet?
  14. The fact you got your definition of economics from here just backs up my statements about a lack of knowlage:- http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761562677_2/Economics.html Please just read what you copied, it's saying the same thing as I am. Pay particular notice to the words 'lagging growth rates'. My reference was to the 40 trillion dollar defict in America. While your at that, look up the word counterpoise. You see what I mean about school? I'm making you read up on economics, marking your reply, admonishing the plagiarism and setting you homework. Face it Newbie, your not picking an argument with what I said your picking an argument with me. That's trolling.
  15. Dammit, what a waste.
  16. Whuff, ok in all seriousness there seems to be an ecliptic mix of alchemy, druid and the 7 veils of the Rosa Crux. The point isn't to find the point, but to imagine there is one (well, apparently). Is that close to the mark? Samael seems to be following a wide and cluttered path, either to bring all things into scope or to confuse those who try and follow. I'd have to research to really create conclusions. To be honest, I don't really want to at the moment. You have to be in the mood, really. I'm sure you agree.
  17. Actually, I have no idea what he meant by that either. Perhaps he means the mighty atinymonkey.com
  18. You responded to what you presumed to be a personal insult by insulting all people of one persuasion? On what level did you presume that was a legitimate act? Because they are 'gays' they don't have feeling to be considered? If you remember, or care to read back, I did ask that the opinion was not explored. It's a bit to far gone now to presume to say it's our fault we got to look so deep into your homophobia. We gave every option to you before this became an 'issue'. As for insinuating a homosexual should commit suicide, I think it’s quite clear that the message you put forward was if you were gay you would kill yourself. So was the logical conclusion from that? You see it as a valid life choice? A smiley face isn't going to avoid that particular logical path. Coming on to taking your leave of this thread, well you've said that twice. Then you threatened to block my URL? I’m trying not to insult you here, as per the rules of the forum, but I don’t think you really avoid the discussion by threatening people. I suggest you calm down a bit before you try and block 8 site members and one admin from the site. I don’t think the response will be ‘hurrah for YT’ if you pursue that idea. Ban me if you like, if you feel your homophobia is justified.
  19. Nope. Not unless you wanted a vinegar smell with your case of scurvy.
  20. That's quite a fun site. My favorite at the mo is :- http://www.donniedarko.com/ Fav trailer is 'Sky Captain and the World of Tommorrow', it looks great! http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/skycaptainandtheworldoftomorrow/
  21. Ok. That's just insulting. I'm offended by that statement on so many levels. You can’t insinuate people should kill themselves just because they don't conform your personal idea of normal. If you have inflammatory viewpoints, you should discuss them in a reasonable way. If your not capable of accepting a lifestyle, you should at least attempt to be civil about it.
  22. Menwith hill in the uk, part of the global listening posts. /Is that what the Patriot act is? Extending the listening posts? Or is it just that the US now has the same level of monitoring internally that it has externally?
  23. What is the Patriot act? Just out of interest.
  24. This is the important point. Just because it's not in your head does not make it untrue. Hence the statement about this not being school. I'll discuss things if you have a base knowlage, if you don't happen to know basic economics I can't start to explain the interactions of a budget deficit. See above point, the proof is widely available. Google it, but you'll need to understand basic economics. Again, reference the above points. This all goes back to a lack of understanding of economics. I do object to someone searching websites. That 'someone' is you. The habit of linking to a website and claiming it as evidence is a common occurance in your posts. However the website usually does not back your argument up, rather it discredits your view. You never seem to read the full page, just the sentance you agree with. Sort back into your posts and you'll see what I mean. Happy? Understand why you can't win the argument? You see it's not an argument, it's a statement of the sociological economic climate in the capitalist society. The pressures of the free markert are unavoidable, as America holds the largest share they also cause the most severe harm. Where a profit can be made, it is. A profit cannot be made unless someone loses out, that's a basic tennet of capitalism. It's not a warm and friendly philosophy.
  25. Er, death. Slow and protracted. Vitamins you see. Need 'em to live.
