Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies stopped Hilton on Feb. 27 and charged her with violating her probation. Police said she was pulled over at about 11 p.m. after authorities saw the car speeding with its headlights off.

Okay she's a millionaire driving drunk I get that part.. but what reason does one have to speed with their headlights off?

I have a lot of board games. Risk, Clue, Life, Monopoly, Scrabbles, Trivial Pursuit(Recent canadian, old american and kids), nice National Geographic game who's name I can't remmeber, Nightmare(all of them), Mouse Trap, electronic Battle Ship, Trouble, Grape Escape. There might be more, I'll know when I get home.

It used to really pissed me off when people asked to cheat off me although as much as I hated it I was never able to say no because I didn't wanna be a loser or have gum stuck to my chair in every class.

Just pay your bill. If not for the sake of keeping a good relationship with your landlord or fairness than do it because you would probably lose in court. If I were your landlord I would just claim you never payed your rent and you wouldn't have because I'd put it straight towards paying off your hydro bill.

eh? where's the article?

He's refering to the "religion"(although it was never called or perceived as such) that wiccans claim to have their roots in. The old celtic tradition. Paganism in modern times is not the name of a religion either, it is the name of a group of religions based on nature. Some of them have names like hinduism or wicca but in old times in the part of the world he's refering to people were very isolated and gave it no name.

Nice attempt at a conspiracy theory though.

I have the Sony Ericsson w300i and I'm very satisfied with it. It's my mp3 player and my radio. You half expect the radio not to work well but the reception is as good as on any non-portable radio. It's reliable and has good reception, great battery life. The thing I like most about it though is the practically unlimited amount of space. Space is priceless. The screen is not that big though and I don't think it can play divX either.. For what you get it's not a very expensive phone though. I don't remember how many mega pixels the camera is.. it records video with sound and voice recordings for as long as you want. If you want a really nice screen and a really nice camera though I find Motorola has the nicest cameras and screen resolutions, even on their older phones.

False. If it wasn't logical, it wouldn't function. If it could function illogically than the illogical would actually be logic. It is almost impossible to be illogical.

Mother nature doesn't think so much as we do, she only does and the delicate cycle of life is the result. Logic is how we break things down but it isn't/wasn't used to put everything together. A few reactions happened and set the momentum of life into place and here we are(unless you are relious, then fuck this whole thing).

Imagine that someone just took this whole big handful of organisms and through them into a jar. Some of those organisms would kill others off because they can't logically coexist. But eventually you might be left with just a few organisms living cyclically off eachothers lives + waste. Logically you CAN introduced a super species that eats other carnivores all too well and eliminates all other carnivorous species in your jar but then there will be no food left for them to eat so they will eat the herbivores instead. The herbivores, already overpopulated and running out of food will either starve or get eaten and once all the herbivores are gone the super species will have no food and they will die. The plants mostly die from lack of fertilisation, over-eating and other unpredictable factors. You end up with nothing. Maybe some survivors of this grand ordeal will give birth to a new ecosystem and a new order. So yes it is possible to be illogical, it just necessarily leads to an end or a new beginning of an equally logical cycle. Nothing illogical is sustainable or truly illogical. Even if it is not sustainable it must come to be through a means which is a result of a necessarily logical cycle. When the logical reactions which keep that cycle flowing falls out of place, the cycle ends, everything dies or it regroups. It's not taking logic into consideration, it's just happening because that's how it happens. Logic is only a tool that we use to break it down.

I also think it would also be dangerous for people to believe that the world is in fact illogical, similar to the backlash of the irish belief in fait. If you convince someone well enough that whatever happens to them was meant to happen then they aren't exactly going to get up off their asses and work like dogs to reach anything, they'll wait for god to show them their destiny. Similarly if you tell people the world is nonsensical and they believe it, they won't bother trying to figure anything out. They may find themselves leading very unenlightened lives.

I meant true. :/

Police brutality is outragious. Power to the people.

I never said anything about who was right or wrong. I never took a side.



I never said anything anti-israel. You are the one who is being a hypcorite here. Why is it that when we critisize everyone else it's a valid argument but when we critisize israel it's anti-israel? I don't want to hear you say anything about the holocaust being wrong, that would be anti-german.



No I am saying that everyone should be critisized equally. Other than that all I'm saying is what I think I know and it's better than saying nothing due to people like you who would silence anyone who stands up for the palestinians. Sorry to break it to you but somoene's gotta present their side of the story because mostly the only side of the story that's presented in this side of the world is israel's. The only time I open my mouth about it is when someone says something I know not to be true and I will say it for either side. If I were to take sides I'd be saying "Israel should leave". I never said that. It's a complex situation and I didn't blame anyone for it. I have no idea where you get this shit from.

If anyone is racsist here it's you. Going around accusing people of being anti-israel just for speaking the truth as they believe it. If you have a problem with what is said, argue with it, but don't fuckign go around calling people rascist just because they said something YOU don't think is true. I don't undertand why you bother posting either when all you have to say is that we're all rascist. Nothing that you've said so far has been productive in any way. If you really believe that critisizing israel makes people rascist than either present us with some facts to change that or deal with it. Accusing other people of these things really isn't gonna improve the situation.

I think they're both wrong. Why would god or anything else be illogical? Neo assumes that god is illogical and Red assumes that he isn't. There is nothing to say that the existence of some higher form doesn't logically fit into the whole picture.

Science is based on observations which always have logical explanations. We still have to make the observation before we can apply logic to it. How can we apply logic to something if we don't even know what it is? We have a bunch of peices to a puzzle and as we go on building the puzzle we start to see things that don't fit so we go back and logically rearange them so that they do. So that every reaction makes sense with every outcome. Sometimes we can predict what peices we will find succesfully through logic and other times we may be using the right logic but the wrong variables. That's why only things proven from observations under controlled conditions are valid in science. Once the observation is made we use logic to figure out where it fits into the puzzle. Logic is the absolute that we use to explain science but science as we know it is not absolute. It's incomplete.

And it is a pointless argument.

I don't think we should be interchanging the words logic and science personally..

There is nowhere in the world I can go that has never invaded, been invaded or performed some other cruel and unforgiveable act on a weaker population. You basically just told me that I should kill myself. That's the only way I could possibly avoid supporting cruelty as you see it.

You're also saying that it's more important to avoid being a hypcrite than to help other people out. I really don't think so. Germany started the biggest war ever. Are you gonna call all the anti-war protests in Germany hypocrysy? If they are than it's a good kind of hypocrysy. You can call me a hypcorite all you want and I'm still gonna go right on critisizing Israel just like I critisize everyone else. No one is special.

If atheism is a religion then anarchy is a new form of government! Seriously though I'd say that atheism is more of a political point of view than a spirtual one. It has to be to be true atheism anyway, otherwise it's just hypocrysy.

pfff... you know what I mean... two wrongs don't make a right, c'est toute.

Also I will never feel responsible for what happened to the natives.. and I will never hold the Israeli's responsible for the forfathers or governemnts actions either. We don't have to explain to anyone. We did nothing. The only ones who can explain are dead.

Are you saying that two wrongs make a right?

Let's all fuck 14 year olds, that's what we did in the middle ages.

32.

That's fucking sick. What a great idea, let's just throw this pimply faced nerd here in there with the guy who sewed your moms body onto your front door. Fresh meat.

They should put keep them with the women instead..

UK hacker loses extradition fight

Gary McKinnon could face a prison sentence of 45 years
A British man has lost his High Court fight against extradition to the US for allegedly carrying out the "biggest military computer hack of all time".
Glasgow-born Gary McKinnon, of north London, is accused of gaining access to 97 US military and Nasa computers.

Home Secretary John Reid granted the US request to extradite him for trial.

At the High Court in London, his lawyers argued the 41-year-old had been subjected to "improper threats" and the move would breach his human rights.

His lawyers had argued that, if extradited, he would face an unknown length of time in pre-trial detention, with no likelihood of bail.

He would also face a long prison sentence - "in the region of 45 years" - and may not be allowed to serve part of the sentence at home in the UK, his lawyers had said.

But, on Tuesday, Lord Justice Maurice Kay and Mr Justice Goldring dismissed his legal challenge, saying they could not find any grounds for appeal.

We will certainly be applying for this court to certify a point of law of public importance and to grant leave

Ben Cooper

Profile: Gary McKinnon

Ben Cooper, for Mr McKinnon, said his client would now seek to make an appeal against his extradition at the House of Lords.

"We will certainly be applying for this court to certify a point of law of public importance and to grant leave," he said.

Speaking later, solicitor Jeffrey Anderson said alleged threats by US authorities, including one from New Jersey prosecutors that Mr McKinnon "would fry", would be among issues raised.

That had been a "chilling and intimidating" reference to capital punishment by the electric chair, he added.

It now looked as though the US would try to prosecute Mr McKinnon as a cyber-terrorist, Mr Anderson said.

"This could lead to him spending the rest of his life in prison in the US, with repatriation to serve his sentence in his home country denied as punishment for contesting his extradition."

Mr McKinnon has never denied that he accessed the computer networks of a wide number of US military institutions between February 2001 and March 2002.

Mr McKinnon, arrested in November 2002, has always maintained that he was motivated by curiosity and that he only managed to get into the networks because of lax security.

Meh the cops have been monitoring our events calendar for years, it's nothing new. There's no way to have a public party without making it public! A few inconveniences won't stop them from finding out if they have a team dedicated to it. Besides most of the time when cops show up at parties they don't get busted.. and like I said they've been monitoring our events calendar for longer than most of you even knew what a rave was.

awwwwwww!! Fucking April fools! I always forget it exists.

Ooooh I wanna go! I'm sure the tickets are gonna be mad expensive tooo... but it's fucking Pink Floyd so who cares.

omg that is fucking terrifying :|

That happens to me sometimes. Every night I go to bed I'll have a different nightmare for an undetermined amount of time. I dunno what kind of advice to give about it though.

The weirdest was when I was playing resident evil 4(the game is not even scary or anything in real life) and every fucking night I had a different zombie nightmare. That was just from playing it too much though, not my usual nightmare. Otherwise it's been because of something bothering me I guess but that is never obvious at the time. I don't know how to make it stop exactly. I suspect by figuring out what it is and dealing with it but I still don't understand what all my nightmare episodes are about and I'm not having any now. Whenever they happen they have a clear pattern to them though.

Mace all the way. The best thing about that shit is you never even have to use it. Just show them you have it and they'll get the fuck out of your radius fast.

What we did to the natives was just as bad hands down. The only difference is that nobody denies it and the conflict was over a long time ago. This is a heated and ongoing conflict filled with proganda and denial on both sides and designed to influence the outcome of the conflict.

point being that it's something which needs a resolution. Don't ask me what it should be.

I'd say it's both.

Anyway, asking is good sometimes, it really depends on a lot of things. How they ask, when they ask, what they're asking and who they're asking. One must use their judgement.

Everything is true except the stuff about asking.. I dunno it's probably just me but asking is a huge turn off. If you ask me the answer is automatically no added with stop being a fuckign fag. It doesn't happen naturally if you ask.

This guys is fuckign crazy....

The American attorney and anti-obscenity activist Jack Thompson has sent a message, entitled “Bill Gates in the Crosshairs," to various news outlets vowing to rally against the release of Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360. He cited a December 2006 report from the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility that indicates progress has been made to keep mature-rated games out of children's hands, but that further efforts need to be taken to ensure inappropriate content is held from minors.

Thompson said that he would “undertake various means to prohibit” the sale of GTA IV to minors, and told Gates “Please have your lawyers contact me in order that such sales will be prevented.”

He also said that the ICCR report “makes it abundantly clear that unless such prohibitions are in place, then millions of units of the new Grand Theft Auto game will be sold directly to minors.” He continued, “I am quite intent upon making sure that does not happen. I and others will endeavor to stop Microsoft from participating in any fashion, directly or indirectly, in such sales to minors.”

Thompson's campaign seems to be solely focused on the Xbox 360 release of the game, making no mention of the PS3 version at all.[10]

On 16 March 2007, Take Two Interactive filed a lawsuit against Thompson in attempt to block him from trying to declare the games a public nuisance.[11]

Check out the section on Thompson vs Grand Theft Auto and all the things he's tried to do... I wanna write this guy a letter tellign him how fuckign stupid he is. It's so ridiculous.

Luckily though he never got very far since he's completely insane.

it was intentionally disrespectful though, that's what makes it funny/playful.

According to the United Nations, 750,000 Palestinians fled from or were forced to leave homes and land that is now located inside Israel in 1948 when the Jewish state was established.

Including descendants of these people, there are now 4,375,050 Palestinians registered as refugees with the UN.

Iraqi medical crisis as doctors flee
By John Leyne
BBC News, Amman



For the people of Iraq, it may be the ultimate nightmare.

Most of the best medical staff have left after being targeted by insurgents. Many have fled the country just in the last few months.

Drugs and equipment are almost non-existent. The notorious militias target patients inside hospitals, and doctors inside the health ministry.

All this in a country that used to pride itself on the best medical services in the Middle East.

Many of the doctors have gone to neighbouring Jordan. There seem to be many thousands here, all with graphic tales of the horrors they have witnessed.

I walked into one Amman hospital, and immediately found four top Iraqi doctors, all British-trained and with world class skills.

They did not want to be named, because they have families in Iraq, but their stories are riveting.

"By the time I left the hospital, there was a great shortage of medicines. Nursing staff was zero," said a professor of neurology.

"In the college where I used to teach, five consultants were killed, assassinated.

"Before I left, I was doing a tour with my resident staff. I looked at the ward, I looked at the beds, and I said in a very loud voice: 'This hospital is not good even for pets. No medicines, no bed linens, the smell is very bad. Sewage is out on the floor.'"

He said that at one point all the operating theatres in his hospital were shut down for three weeks because no oxygen cylinders were available.

Another doctor described what happens to Iraqis who go to hospital for treatment after a bomb attack.

"You can reach a hospital easily, but there is no one to deal with you. And if they do deal with you they [militias] might come and kill you afterwards," he said. "Patients will leave because they are threatened.

"I left my hospital because two of my managers in that hospital were killed inside the hospital."

A third doctor said: "When there is a bomb and patients are coming, services are overwhelmed.

"There are very few skilled people to deal with the patients. So most of the wounded, the seriously wounded, will die."

'Kidnapping risk'

Doctor after doctor described how armed gangs have now infiltrated not just the hospitals, but the health ministry itself.

Another of this group of doctors, a top cardiologist, described how they met the Iraqi health minister in Amman recently.

"He told us that he can't do anything, because he is sitting on one floor. The floor above him belongs to one of the militias, the floor below belongs to another militia. He can see people fighting inside his ministry."

"None of the doctors can go inside the ministry of health because he will be kidnapped," chipped in another of the doctors.

"If they go in, they will not go out."

As for the billions of dollars spent on reconstruction, these doctors say they saw a little of it. But most was wasted on shoddy furniture and poor decorations.

Some money has gone on high-tech machinery. But it is useless, say the doctors, because no one knows how to use it. They believe the equipment was only bought so that officials could siphon off part of the funds.

'Stolen medicines'

As I left the doctors, I met an Iraqi patient waiting for treatment, a pharmacist.

She described going into a filthy maternity ward in Iraq, with rats the size of cats.

Although she was only trained as a pharmacist, she could see one of the expectant mothers needed her blood pressure tested. There was no doctor around, so she tried to help. But there was not even the equipment for that simple test.

As for the other facilities, "there was some medication, but they were stolen by the assistant pharmacist," she said.

"They came back in the night and want to sell me the medication."

Later I met the doctors again. They said that whatever horror stories they had told about the medical situation, however bad it sounded, it was actually worse.

He gave links to his music.

Ask Noah.

I'm sorry but running around burning people with acid is the opposite of good survival skills in this day and age.

What he said.

Former US vice president Al Gore is to receive an honorary International Emmy award for his work in broadcasting.
Gore will be recognised for his hard-hitting environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth, which won two Academy Awards last month.

Acid attack on woman shocks Ethiopia
By Amber Henshaw
BBC News, Addis Ababa



Kamilat Mehdi, 21, had a bright future ahead of her. She dreamt about doing a degree and becoming an air hostess.


Kamilat Mehdi knew her attacker

All that changed one night when she was walking home from work with her two sisters and a stalker threw sulphuric acid in her face.

She is now lying in hospital disfigured beyond recognition.

Her skin is red raw, her eyelids have almost been entirely destroyed and her hairline has been burnt back.

"I feel very sick now. Every day they need to do something without anaesthetic so it is hard to accept and it is very painful," says Kamilat.

Her sisters, Zeyneba and Zubyeda, escaped with lesser injuries but their faces were also burnt by the acid.

Shockwaves

"We were on our way home from our parents' shop. I was with my sisters," Kamilat says.

He gave her a hard time but she didn't tell the family for fear that something would happen to them

Kamilat's brother Ismael

"One guy came and he looked like a drunkard but he wasn't drunk. He forced us to go down a dark alley and then someone came and threw acid in our faces."

Kamilat fell to the floor unconscious while her sisters tried to get help. She lay there until her brother Ismael arrived.

Ismael says his sister knew her attacker.

"He bothered her for a long time - at least four years," he says.

"He gave her a hard time but she didn't tell the family for fear that something would happen to them. He was always saying he would use a gun on them."

This incident has sent shockwaves through the community in the capital, Addis Ababa, and amongst Ethiopians abroad.

Ismael says he has received calls from Ethiopians living around the world saying how angry and shocked they were about the attack.

Two men have appeared in court in Addis Ababa in connection with the attack.


Sexual harassment

"I hope the court will impose a proportional penalty within a short period of time," Justice Minister Assefa Kiseto says.



"That could make others learn from this and refrain from committing this crime. I think this kind of crime is a crime against the whole nation not just a crime against Kamilat."

Attacks like this are rare in Ethiopia but women's groups in Addis Ababa say that stalking and sexual harassment are common problems.

The Ending Violence Against Women report published by the United Nations at the end of last year said almost 60% of Ethiopian women were subjected to sexual violence at some point in their lives.

Mahdere Paulos from the Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association says they would like to see a specific provision in Ethiopian law that tackles stalking and harassment so that there is better protection for young girls like Kamilat in the future.

"The problem starts with stalking - the end result is something else," she says.

"It might end in grave bodily injury, it might end in death and it might end in different difficult situations and that's why we want it to be taken seriously."


Following the uproar at Kamilat's attack, the Supreme Court announced that it has put in place procedures to help pass verdicts on such cases within two days.

And Ms Mahdere says some progress has been made by the government over the last few years in tackling violence against women.

There is a newly established ministry of women's affairs; there was a push before the 2005 election to get more women into parliament and there has been a complete overhaul of the penal code to beef up laws to protect women.

But in some rural areas, the traditional practice of abducting young girls and forcibly marrying them remains common - in one region it accounts for some 92% of all marriages, according to the most recent figures from 2003.

Kamilat and her sister have now flown to Paris for medical treatment, which is being financed by businessman Sheikh Mohammed Al Amoudi.

I don't see whats so great about the ADQ. I could have said all the same things about Harper and I would much prefer being under the liberals than him. One thing I don't like is people who make too many promises and are too head strong to pull through. If the liberals didn't make tax cuts maybe it's cause they realised it wasn't the best thing to do right now. Nobody comes through on their campaign and half the time if they actually do it's only to gain votes and not for the greater good of the province. It's not so simple as acting all the time, I'm not gonna believe every party who claims they have the answers. I really don't think the ADQ's strategies fit into Quebec. Sure it's nice they are willing to take so much action but that doesn't mean they're the right actions at all. Fuck hope. I don't even feel so sure that their success will be repeated.

I would also vote for PQ if it weren't for seperation. Otherwise they would be my dream party. That means I'm really disappointed that they don't have the second most seats.
