Sums you up, really. I do assume you think your being witty, eloquent and perceptive, obviously not childish and inane. Again, this is not a school. I'm not here to help you understand anything. Your not producing counterpoise to anything, your simply attempting to antagonise as you repeatedly do. What are you looking for here, are you looking for an argument, or an agreement? What problem, exactly, do you have with what I said? Human rights and Fair trade aren’t linked? Humans and trade? Not linked? Of course they are linked, inextricably. Joseph Stiglitz's bestselling book, 'Globalization and Its Discontents', not enough for you to figure out the logic I'm pointing out? To subtle for you? Obviously, your replying without researching what you don't know or understand. And please, don't respond with linkage. Just do some grade school reading.

Well, that's my theory gone. It was my only one too. Er, ask Glider. Or visit your local doc.

Have you just started on the pill, by any chance?

Wait for student fees at the end of the week, he can't keep dodging the bullet. His little legs will tire soon; and his cold black heart has already rebelled once. But we EXPECT Tony to lie. That’s the depressing thing. Just like we accept that Cherie Blair likes to suck the brain from baby skulls.

Sod it. All love is twisted, it's in the rules.

Your arguments are childish. It's not a teaching forum, nor is it for trolls. ~ Go read Joseph Stiglitz or ask an economics teacher to explain it all to you. If you trade with the US, you suffer the consequences of its deficit. An objective view is a far cry from being anti American. Joseph Stiglitz is far from the only economic minister in the Whitehouse to highlight issues, and he is not classed as anti American. I have no intention of being drawn into another 'discussion' where your views remain fluid to avoid conceding any points. You want to disagree with my points, fine, cite reasoning. Don't post links to irrelevant documents that support the wrong ideals. If you really want to know about the fair trade issues look at amnesty international. The facts are not in general dispute, hence you being the only person to dispute them. As for positive comments, your selective in what you read anyhow so your view is less than helpful. I’m not a person who makes that many supportive comments, nor will I pat you on the head for idiocy. You don’t think highlighting human rights is positive, there is something flawed in your logic. You don’t like my comments, put me on your ignore list. You don’t agree with my assumptions, explain why. Pick on of a plethora of options, and try to remain productive. Perhaps you can explain to the assembled what you consider an adequate reply? Are you looking for an argument, or an agreement? If it’s agreement, with what are you wishing we agree? You don’t like glib replies, don’t ask stupid questions.

Hang on, he can't 'invent' the gnostic movement. It's older than judaism, it dates back to the stone age!

Romeo and Juliet is not a great love story because they produced offspring fantastically well. Love does not equal reproduction, we have risen considerably above the need to procreate. One could argue that same sex unions increasing in society is the only logical way of reducing the population explosion. It's fits natural laws well enough. I think Faf cited it as a study not to long ago, but the analysis of rats in an overpopulated enviroment increased the boyrat on boyrat lovin', and I don't think that can be classed as unnatural. But, your opinon is your opinion. It don't hurt no-one much, I guess.

Look. The argument 'Homosexuals are wrong' is not permissable in today society. Can we not just drop it? This argument allways goes the same way. The words Nazi and Aryan are lingering on the outsirts of this discussion. I suggest we leave the opinons alone before they intrude firther.

Hey, hold up there Cowboy. Deviant and perverted are not words to be thrown around lightly just because you have personal issues with that lifestyle. Equal respect and all, can we vear away from insults?

Because I'm quite proud of the BBC, it keeps its prestige and global recognition above the other main players (ABC, NBC and FOX) even without the massive resources. It manages that because of it's integrity and trust. Now Greg Dyke has made the corporation look like a bunch idiots. Where is the international respect now? I mean, even on this forum, a link to a BBC article seems to be taken as gospel and nobody disputes it. Floodgates are open now, and they just made themselves fair game. Greg himself is just a suit though.

Not in todays society. But fair point.

Shall I skip away from the issues relating to acceptance of a Gay way of life? I think I better. Opinions are only opinions after all. But no, that marrage example is not an affermation of love, it's a silly idea!

Greg Dyke got all power hungry and managed not only to tarnish the BBC, but tarnish the journalistic reputation worldwide for the only multinational news corporation that's reputation was still intact. In short, he's a wingnut that managed to crumble the British reputation irreversibly on a global scale, and made me die a little inside. Or, scapegoat for the governments lies about Iraq? No. Just a twat. He should be flogged.

To be honest, I know you probably didn't mean that. After all, your not saying that boy can't love another boy with the same depth and breadth of love that any girl/boy can manage. A same sex union doesn't occur between emotional cripples, so a wish to have their love recognized should not be diminished because it's not acceptable for Catholics. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=marriages%20 Anyhow, marrage can be same sex. It's not a discussion, unelss anyone can change the definition of the word. See, I sorted the argument. Everyones happy now

Gosh. Your right. I hate America sooooooooooooooooo much. I love ice cream. Happy?

Me? I like the Taliban, they are super. I’ve met one or two, and know a couple of people who trained cells in the 1980’s. Grew up in a military family in a city with a large military base you see. We hate Taliban now, obviously. jadote, the post was more of general rant by the end. It was prompted more from a patronising post that said a facade was fooling me. As if you could view my perceptions from a one-sentence post. Sorry about that, bit off topic. The real reason nobody attacks North Korea is nothing to do with oil or humanitarian conflicts, is the f**king huge county that protects it. You know, the largest country in the world, highest population, likes communists, red books and having an army that outnumbers the US 4 to 1? I really need to get more sleep before I reply to stuff.

They do, just they are not traditional. I think they may be easier to cheat with, as you could angle a throw to bring up numbers from only one side of a prism. Plus, a square is cheaper to produce.

Some sort of expert on North Korea, are we jadote? I find it depressing that you recognize that there is misinformation and yet blithely assume you are immune to it. Thank God I've finally found someone who is an effective filter against the propaganda, please, please show me the light. I've personally been a member of Amnesty international for over 10 years, and I am well aware of the food shortages that have occurred there. The political forces that prevent North Korea for admitting it needs help do not give you Carte Blanca to tar the entire country as evil, using that logic you could damn half of Africa and half of South America. Could you at least attempt to pull away from your Middle America McCarthyism and view the country with some sort of objectiveness? Or are we always going to have to listen to America shouting 'pinko communist scum' every time someone doesn't follow the capitalist philosophy. Do you care to comment on the hundreds of countries living subsistence lifestyles to support the massive consumption of America? Who do you think really suffers from your 40 trillion dollar deficits? We can go into cash crops, broken fair trade agreements, sweat shops, political slavery et al that put millions of people across the world in abject poverty/starvation to support the American dream? Do you think America has the majority of the worlds wealth just because you deserve it? You know what, sod it. Think whatever you like, pick whatever evidence make you happy. Countrys hate America because they are crazy. All of them. Out of their trees. Fruit loops, down to a man. You should bomb them all, the damn filthily gooks, and take what you like. You deserve it.

Yes, the NASA archive is my proof. It's fairly substancial pitted against your unsourced quote. But your probably right, I've never read Kranz's book. But hey, kept the thread popular anywho.

Oh, so Nietzsche followed solipsism. What did you expect from someone who pretends they are a monkey?

And people who don't think so, well they are just communists.

Nietzsche, I thought?

As a balance to at least one the misinformed facts on this thread, North Korea's latest 'evil' plan:- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3382595.stm

Yes it is. I'm keeping it alive! People are interested now!
