Socialism V. Capitalism/US Foreign Policy/Arabs-Israelis

By gum, that CIA poison takes it’s time.

I caught Predators on Friday finally. This stuff either works for you or it doesn’t and this one worked for me. I think they overdid the shaky camera thing in one of the fights and while I’ve always liked Brody he made a far more credible badass than I was expecting. I could have used a bit more info about the Predators and a bit more delving into the Predator/prey hunting sentient creatures tale these stories seem to want to be about but a nice little ride.

I also liked that it was or at least appeared to be lite on the CGI and heavy on actual make-up and muppets for the bad guys. Didn’t seem to have a bunch of effects shots for the sake of having effects shots.

And the terrain/jungle felt alien despite it no doubt being earth.

Must see for diehard fans and must rent for folks who’ve seen Predator a few times more than three but don’t consider themselves ‘diehard.’

And when do we get Aliens on Blu-ray for pity’s sake?

War on Global Warming
better known to experts as
Global Cyclical Weather Patterns.
See…The Four Billionth Annual Edition of The Annotated Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Other Undocumented Prattle.

The same experts that also wrote “How the Lord really needed only seven days to create the world, and how he never could allow a man-made warming trend?” …

Or was it the expert that wrote “How to try to be funny again and again” :D ;) ?

eh, than dont believe me, or agree with me. this is one of a few topics i dont particularly care about.

Well, I can give you some human impressions. I studied Mathematics in Birmingham, Alabama for 10 month. Though the German unemployment rate is bigger than the American, the people are far better off in Germany than in America. There is less poverty, there are fewer homeless and the education is far better.
There are more beggars on the street than here. There is much more crime in the cities. I spoke with lots of people in dept and living from paycheque to paycheque. The cars on the streets were old and damaged. The same is true for many houses I saw. The college is very expensive, but Math 101 is rediculous. An American Bachelor is maybe, just maybe, a little more than a Bavarian Abitur.

Since I’m still at college, I don’t work yet and thus can’t give you personal information on that.

Last summer we had an almost no-posting period. I barely even have the time to checl the boards.

Sorry, but I don’t know. I heard it on a local radio station. If I remember correctly the talk show host(who chats about the days news that he thinks is important) didn’t say. That is one thing that pisses me off about a lot of talk show hosts! From Limbaugh to the local guys, they seem to give us news without a source. A newspaper might be mentioned once, but when you are not from that town or country, and you don’t recognize/recall it(unless it is the New York Times/Washington Post.) A survey is quoted but no organization or website to folow-up.

GRRRRR!!!

In modern American Politics, I fall to either side depending upon the issue, somewhat Centrist but, to pull a moses, radical centrism.

OVerall though, I support Capitalism (because Communism cannot work), am against abortion and believe that drug use and prostitution are problems which can be solved, so I fall to the right.
