It wasn't inadvertant and I'm not a victim.

Talking about the holocaust isn't what the nazi's would have wanted, it is what the victims would have wanted. WhY? Because thrre is a lot ot learn from that and absolutely nothing to learn from this at this point. I never told oyu to tlak about the hoocaust in the first place. I said that if you wanna talk abotu something politically relevant you should at least start with that.

He wasn't badmouthing anybody. Just by giving this incident attention you're disrespecting them. They died to generate hype and here you are continuing it. No matter what you believe about that day you're just giving the government exactly what they wanted in doing this. You're totally off the wall in your judgements of people.

That's exactly what I disagree with.. we should reflect on it BECAUSE it happened a long time ago. Because now, after already being far seperated from the situation we understand how something so fucked up can happen so easily and how we can prevent it. Sure we had our ear talked off abotu the holocaust all of our lives but the problem with that is that they never teach us why it happened. All they ever taight us was that it happened.. it's always been compared to racsism and hate. It wasn't hate. It was mind control on a massive scale. You cxan't summarise the control of a whoel population with hate.

Rwnada and the holocaust are far from natural disasters and to tell you the honest truth I think that we'd be much better off reflecting on those right now considering how very much there is to learn from those situations that can be applied here. At the current point in history the story of 9/11 is just not over yet. It's not ready to be reflected on.

You don't have to try to convince me about the way things are. I know how they are and I expressed my opinion/personal frustrations about it. That doesn't mean I don't understand why it's like that. Have a cup of tea and pretend I said nothign if it makes you happier. My original post expressed quite clealry that I don't care about this dumb anniversary and I don't care where everyone was when it happened. The people who died there didn't deserve to die anymroe than anyone else and when I pay tribute I'll be paying tribute to everyone who died in unnecessary circumstances, not just a few. You may not feel the same and that's perfectly fine with me. You don't have to try to convince me of what is and isn't. My opinion is really not worht that much. Especially about something that's done and over. I'd just like for it to stay over for once after seeing that stupid date for 6 years. Which is why I'm tired of tlaking about it now and I'm not about to argue about our moral composition towards it.

I wasn't referring to the victims.. they were too dead to say anything.

Closer to home? I love that one, gets me teary every time. I love how canadians like to practically pretend it happend to them. Anyways my point was not to make people feel bad about paying tribute. I think it's lovely that you care. It's simply to remind you that you're feeding into all their emo desires. If there wasn't so much uncalled for hype than this thread probably wouldn't exist. It's not you guys, it's what your fed. Okay that was wrong. Carry on.

And for christ's sake stop defendiing yourself/your society. I wasn't attacking you.

Yeah well I don't see you paying tribute to Bangladesh or Indonesia. Your justification is lame and past the point.

I can't comprehend for my life why you people decide to pay tribute to septembre 11th and not any of the other trajedies that ever happen around the world. Why aren't we paying tribute to Hiroshima or Rwanda or the Holocaust or the numerous large earthquakes that happened in the past few years on their anniversary's? We don't even pay tribute to shit that happens right here in our city like the ecole polytechnique but here you people are paying tribute to the victims of septembre 11th. I agree they deserve it and everything but if you're going to pay tribute to them and no one else on occasions where many many more people die what the hell does that say about you? God septembre 11th crap pisses me off. It's so self-important and arrogant of the americans to have treated this like the biggest trajedy in the world that it's not even funny and here we are placing it above every trajedy that ever happened.

And what the hell is with all those people crying just because someone bombed their country? If you didn't know anyone who died or anyone who knows someone who died or anythign than what the fuck are they so goddamn sad about? Some poeple from your country died boohoohoo. You're scared boohoohoo. Why am I the only one who wasn't fuckign surprised? Man I expected this to dominate the news headlines for 1 day.

He didn't make any threats in this particular video. It was never really a muslim thing to force people into converting. Of course many muslims would call al-qaeda an enemy of islam in the first place but to the point.. One of the most well known and widespread teachings of islam is to respect the beliefs of others from other belief systems. When muslims conquered nations they always allowed free worship. Okay "free" is not the right word. Normally people who didn't convert to islam had to pay extra taxes and had reduced rights but the societies we stem from were still persecuting people for their relgions long after that. The point being simply that the muslim religion or sharia specifically states that every person should have the right to worship as they chose or not at all and to respect the religions of others.

As if they would end South Park?

It could be a blown fuse or two on the motherboard.

They could have just stabbed her in the head/heart with one.

Of course I'm not surprised when I hear of parents and grandparents murdering their daughters in China but it puzzles me that they would put sewing needles in her body. Was the motive murder or crippling? And why ohy why did they chose sewing needles to do the job?

Chinese woman's 'needle ordeal'
[ news.bbc.co.uk ]

Doctors in China have discovered 26 sewing needles embedded in the body of a 31-year-old woman.
They think they were inserted into Luo Cuifen's body when she was a baby by grandparents upset she was not a boy.

Some of these needles have penetrated vital organs, such as the lungs, liver and kidneys. One has even broken into three pieces in the woman's brain.

The needles were discovered only when Ms Luo went to hospital complaining of blood in her urine.

She was given a routine X-ray, which revealed the needles. Up until then she had been in good health.

Operations needed

A team of 23 doctors, including five from the United States and Canada, are debating how best to remove the needles at the Richland International Hospital in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province.

Xu Mei, the chief doctor at the hospital, told the BBC that removing the needles would be a long, complicated procedure requiring several operations.

The first of those is expected to take place next week when seven needles will be removed.

The hospital is doing the first operation, which will cost 170,000 yuan ($22,500, £11,200), for free.

But Ms Luo, from rural Songming County in Yunnan Province, will have to raise money to fund the other operations.

Doctors believe the needles were inserted into the woman when she was just a few days old by her grandparents, whom they believe were disappointed that she was not a boy.

But there is no way to confirm this theory, as the grandparents are now dead.

In many rural areas boys were - and still are - valued more highly than girls. One reason is that they can carry on the family name.

I think he's learning the wrong lesson. He'll probably be so scared to touch a woman after this that he'll come out of prison as a bishop.. or a Jack the Ripper wannabe, I'm not sure which one's worse.

Are you looking for a place to live or rent? I think you can find some decent prices on 4 plex's.. there's lots in poorer areas. If you wanna live in it you'd still have three places to rent out. Ideally you'd wanna cover your mortgage with 2 of them and then if you have one place empty for a bit it won't have to come out of your pocket. If you don't wanna live there you might be able to cover your mortgage + rent for another place off of the 4 appartments.

You need an account for demonoid though, if you don't have one I can send you an invitation code.

There's also one on pirate bay but the only comments are to complain that there's no subtitles and there's 1 seeder. I think you're better off signing up for demonoid and using their tracker.

Noooo you're not allowed! The goblins will find you.

LOL Place-des-arts is a lot closer you know ;) If you take the 80 up from the metro, which comes really often, you'll be there in 2 minutes.

Why would the prices drop?

Hahaha.. if it was a girl they probably wouldn't care. This is due to homosexual acts.

Aw well.

I dunno what you're talking about but it doesn't partition the drive, it's putting multiple physical hardrives into one virtual drive and you can only do it in xp Pro or vista. Jeez.

They don't need to be empty.

You can do it right from the disk management utility in Windows XP pro or in Vista. It's called a dynamic disk.

Sweet, I'm going to download it. I love buddhist culture. Kundun is about that also but takes place mainly in the Dalai Lamas palace. He was the one who fled to India, the same Dalai Lama as now. Mainly what makes it interesting is the culture though. It's also cool that they pissed off the chinese government. Then again it doesn't take much.

"Kundun is a 1997 film written by Melissa Mathison and directed by Martin Scorsese. It is based on the life and writings of the Dalai Lama, the exiled political and spiritual leader of Tibet. Both Scorsese and Mathison (along with several other members of the production) were banned by the Chinese Government from ever entering Tibet as a result of making the film.

The film did poorly at the box office, but was generally praised by critics. Some criticized the movie as hagiographic[citation needed], but many found it exceptionally moving and stunning, even within Scorcese's impressive oeuvre. Some — notably Jonathan Rosenbaum and Charles Taylor — consider it to be among Scorsese's finest films.

The majority of the film was shot at the Atlas Film Studios in Ouarzazate, Morocco.

The name "Kundun" is a title by which the Dalai Lama is addressed, literally meaning "presence". It is written སྐུ་མདུན་ (Wylie: Sku-mdun) in Tibetan and is pronounced [kũtỹ] in the Lhasa dialect.
"

Maybe he will be. Kundun is a good movie about the Dalai-lama. And he's soooo cute before he grows up :)

Hiroshima doesn't have the look and feel of most japanese cities. It's a little less colourful and stuff, I'm sure it's nothing like it used to be.

Yeah I don't think they drestroyed the whole island, just the city. I'm sure they can make one to blow up the world if they wanted to though.

What the HEEEELL is wrong with fucking a 21 year old or doing drugs with a 19 year old?? When you guys are 90 you're gonna be saying all this shit about 50 year olds.

no no, 89 year olds.

But but.. it has so much historical value :( Screw the poeple, THE SHARDS OF BABYLONIAN POTTERY MUST BE PRESERVED!

This is so stupid. They're talking about so much money for such a tiny market. For smaller videogames it won't even be worth it, at least not before releasing it everywhere else first. Quebec already makes up a small enough portion of the total market but the portion of us that want videogames in french equals an even smaller market than that. The real tragedy is we'll probably just end up being singled out from a lot of games... and then there will be a lot more people complaining.

Well I have only read a few posts of this thread so my opinion may not count for much but I don't think the kind of input he was looking for was "it won't work", especially without offering an alternativce idea or something. Usually when people bring this kind of thing up it's cause they'd like ideas on HOW it could work. What I see here is what I call non-constructive input. You are just trying to push your own opinions of the matter onto him when he clearly disagrees. At that point you have to accept that he has a different view of the subject and no one's is necessarily right. You're better off giving him ideas on how this apparently doomed plan might work just a little better than to tell him not to do it at all. That's what I see repeated over and over again for pages and he is obviously still intent on doing it.

Quite frankly almost anything can make money if you know how to go about it. Unfortunately this isn't a crowd who would know. In any case, who cares. He just asked for some ideas. "Don't do it" doesn't count.

And another thing.. a 23 year old is not a child. At that age it's time to take responsibilty for yourself.. and to be treated just the same as if you were 35.

Yeah but the new war on terror law overwrites any existing laws.

Except of course U.N laws which still apply to them and which they don't abide.

If you guys have no input why do you keep posting? Chew on some straws.

Well I can't drink 30$ worth of alcohol. I know I'm not alone.

Girls rarely spend more than 20$ on booze in the first place so it isn't worth it for them.

Not really because people who have the open bar deal will just get them as many free drinks as they want anyway. 10 people can get smashed for the price of one.

Jaggermeister. I want Jaggermeister. What's this gin and juice crap.

You wish that most of this forum wasn't the legal drinking age. Theyère just immature.
