Ok, i can see the part about splitting a country like germany, But to have some sort of diversion between our country and another is bad why? I mean european borders are alot more secure than ours will ever be if we dont do something, anything. I think the damn fence should extend across the whole dang border. The amount of money we give that country and they STILL cant pull themselves up, They need to learn basic economics rather than running into our country or even haveing the nerve to tell us how to run ours.Ty wrote:

Im sorry but i find this hard to believe when the 9/11 comission found that faulty forign Intel(also provided by the UK) showed Saddam as an iminent threat and that he did infact have WMD's. So ill just take this post with a grain of salt.IG-Calibre wrote:
· UK warned US that chaos would follow tyrant's fall
· Evidence repudiates claims in run-up to war
Richard Norton-Taylor
Saturday December 16, 2006
The Guardian
The British government never believed Saddam Hussein posed a threat to British interests and warned the US that toppling him would lead to "chaos", according to a Foreign Office diplomat closely involved in negotiations in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.
Damning repudiation of the government's public claims in the run-up to the war is contained in secret evidence to Lord Butler's committee on the abuse of intelligence over Iraq by Carne Ross, a diplomat at Britain's UN mission in New York.
His evidence, in which he says the government privately assessed that Iraq possessed no significant quantity of weapons of mass destruction, has been published on the Commons foreign affairs committee website. Mr Ross gave evidence to the group last month but some MPs had been reluctant to have it published.
Mr Ross told Lord Butler he read UK and US human and signals intelligence on Iraq every working day during the four years he spent in New York up to 2002, and spoke at length to UN weapons inspectors.
"At no time did [the government] assess that Iraq's WMD (or any other capability) posed a threat to the UK," he told the Butler committee. "On the contrary, it was the commonly-held view among the officials dealing with Iraq that any threat had been effectively contained ... At the same time, we would frequently argue, when the US raised the subject, that 'regime change' was inadvisable, primarily on the grounds that Iraq would collapse into chaos."
Mr Ross continued: "There was no intelligence evidence of significant holdings of CW [chemical warfare], BW [biological warfare] or nuclear material. Aerial or satellite surveillance was unable to get under the roofs of Iraqi facilities. We therefore had to rely on inherently unreliable human sources."
He added: "Iraq's ability to launch a WMD or any form of attack was very limited. There were approximately 12 or so unaccounted-for Scud missiles; Iraq's airforce was depleted to the point of total ineffectiveness; its army was but a pale shadow of its earlier might; there was no evidence of any connection with any terrorist organisation that might have planned an attack using Iraqi WMD."
Mr Ross said he repeatedly questioned FO and Ministry of Defence officials about their threat assessments of Iraq. He said: "None told me that any new evidence had emerged to change our assessment; what had changed was the government's determination to present available evidence in a different light." Referring to the government's weapons adviser who later committed suicide, he added: "I discussed this at some length with David Kelly in late 2002, who agreed that the Number 10 WMD dossier was overstated".
He said colleagues in other UN delegations told him the UK sold security council resolution 1441 - later used to help justify the invasion - "explicitly on the grounds that it did not represent authorisation for war".
Mr Ross, who was responsible at the UK's UN mission for sanctions as well as weapons inspections, said he and his FO colleagues repeatedly attempted to get the UK and US to act more vigorously on the breaches.
Mr Ross resigned from the FO in 2004.
Sir John Major, the former prime minister, backed calls for an independent inquiry into the causes and conduct of the war. It should include "new information that is becoming available", he told Radio 4's Today.

Riots and attacks in europe by them because of the social gaps(we arnt getting attacked by our own citizens on a weekly basis). Relatively small gaps between rich and poor? Thats not true, and your opinion on crime is lacking, The criminals have the guns, and there is or are alot of drug users in europe, places like russia make sure of that. Why actually the rates of gun use in england and affiliated parts of the UK have actually risen, Now, the gangs of kids in london and other places(that are a big problem) have shifted there attention to useing guns as a means of solving there disputes, where as it was Knives not too long ago. Rates of gun violence might be lower there, but it is on the rise none the less.

Best part of this is the Xmas tree is a symbol of the comercial side of christmas, and has NO religious affiliation actually. BUT the menora IS a symbol of religion. I would have kept them up, the Jewish guy would have lost on those grounds and by the time any court action was taken, christmas would be over.Stingray24 wrote:

Prime example of making people not want to post in your precious D$ST forum, because people like you love to belittle everyone. Who ever said that people didn't understand what he said, But still choose to disagree on the grounds of there Own opinion of the situation and of him personally. Not easy to swallow something from a guy whom was ousted as being involved in the oil for food scandal.GorillaTicTacs wrote:
It's not a joke, there have been at least 2000 Romanian soldiers stationed in Iraq and some have even died.

Back on topic, it is typical neo-con stratagery to character assassinate the messenger and then pay no attention to the message. Kofi made some very succinct points that any 4 year old should be able to understand like:
"Play well with others."
"Follow the rules of the game and don't cheat."
"If you say you are a good person and then act bad, people will not trust you."
"If you cooperate you can do more!"
"You don't have to share your toys, but it is a nice thing to do."
"Solve your problems by talking first before you go hitting people."
I'm sorry if his words were a bit complicated for some, and to be fair he did seem to be having some sort of cold, the oration was just a bit more than a 7-second FoxNews sound bite, and maybe a few words got mangled, but I think he got the point across.
Thanks anyways for wording it so even I could understand what he said.

In all your anti-UN posted you've failed to properly address the two main problems with the UN.
1. The veto powers of the security council. It's time they got rid of that so that the US or France can't just say "No" when they don't like something.
2. People not obeying resolutions. Two of the main states that don't obey UN resolutions are Israel and the United States, so a big part of the problem is that you don't go with what the UN works. It needs the larger nations such as the US to obey the rules, then it works. Delibrately trying to undermine the UN then bitch about it is cowardice.
We dont obey sanctions?????? Ok YAh, So we are the ones that are sending missle parts to Iran, the US wasnt messing with the oil for food program and making money and exploiting loopholes and crap. Again, im NOT totally anti UN, i feel it needs a overhaul and I would like the thankless SOB's to be moved OFF of US soil. Ill elaborate more hopefully when im done with all my doctors appointments and crap i have this week.
Excuse me? Mind my attitude? WTH have i done? I Dont agree with the UN, and Your telling me to mind my attitude? Ive NEVER gotten a PM, because ive never done anything wrong, and I do NOT flame, unless flamed, so where have I done anything wrong? Is it because i dont have the same Views as you? God forbid Im not in line with a Mods opinion. So if you would kindly elaborate on My Attitude it would be greatly appreciated. Kind of sounds like you feel i have an attitude because im not falling in line with the Liberals here? Plus the fact ive never had a blaitant racist remark spew out of my hands or keyboard.mcminty wrote:

- Sudan
- Ethipoia

From the current missions, the earliest one started in 1991. The UN forces have been there for 15 years.
Also, your sentiment that it was the US alone who tried to take out the warlord is bullshit. The US forces formed a large component of the UNOSOM I mission to support aid being sent to Somalia during it's civil war.
The armed forces made up UNITAF (Unified Tast Force):Also [onex], it would be wise if you rechecked your attitude in this forum.UNITAF was comprised of forces from 24 different countries, with the vast bulk contributed by America. UNITAF soon secured the relief operations which were being coordinated and carried out by UNOSOM, which was also attempting to negotiating a political end to the conflict. Indeed, although UNOSOM had been replaced by UNITAF, it was technically still in operation and would remain ready to resume its function when UNITAF had met its goals of creating a secure environment for humanitarian relief.

No spark, It needs to be Reformed with actual rules that WILL be fallowed. Most vetos and such are missused, and most powers of these representatives are abused. I mean Cmon, do you remember when they put libia in charge of human rights? Its crazy crap like that that needs to change. Im not at all against a world forum, but the corruption that exists now in there is just wrong. The UN is actually afraid to deal with Iran, YET the rest of the world agrees, that they dont need to have nukes. So what good is the UN if they wont do anything about it then give this guy a platform to spew his garbage and hate?

A cornered beast is not safe to approach. In any case, what they are doing is light-years more effective than a go-in-bomb-the-shit-outta-them policy.
So you think the UN should be disbanded, and the world - instead of being an international community - should split up into several powerful states again? Gee, what a great idea! Pity it led to two world wars.

Ill take bets on that, Ive seen the PS3 games and they are ALL junk! They look like crap, most of them have the worst camera work ive ever seen, and Madden isnt any better than on any other console.

The FX-55 is a great processor for a lousey $129. Most other places still getting $399 to $900 for it. It overclocks nicely with stock cooler. Its well worth the little money for it.
Just my thoughts, I own one and will be overclocking it shortly. I went from a 3700+ overclocked to 2.5 and this processor(even though its the 0.13 micron flavor) still outbenches my 3700+ Sandiago(overclocked) by 300 marks. Overclocked im hopeing to get a tad more.

If thats a regular 6600 and that is 2142, Im amazed its even running. If you look in EA's specs of the game it says at the bottom that a regular 6600 wont be supported in the game. So if thats wht you have, im amazed its running at all.
But if thats Not what you have, then you really do have a heat problem. taking the side cover off and not even useing a fan will cure this, If you have enough exhaust fans going, you need not worry about dust all that much, because the air is moveing about alot more.

If strapped for cash, and are cumfy overclocking, the E6300 WILL goto 3.1 without problems. But if money is no object, a 6600 is a good choice. Im cheap, and poor right now so i just ordered a 6300 and a board, Ill deal with some DDR2 after Xmas LOL.

Prime example, columbia U, Asshats with no respect at all(Most radical protesters) Bust in and ruin a speach from and INVITED guest and start a fight, and then do the same crap again and again to whomever they dont like. I havent seen very many Conservative protests turn out like this, Like Liberal far left ones.
Hell just read this board and youll see what im saying.
George carlin lost my respect when he used his show i paid to see as a Bush and a US bash fest. I dont know what hes got stuck up his ass, But i wanted my fucking money back.!Drakef wrote:
Even the Ten Commandments are no necessarily a great thing. If you want to hear my take on the Ten Commandments, listen to George Carlin. He knows what he's talking about.
"Here is my problem with the ten commandments- why exactly are there 10?
You simply do not need ten. The list of ten commandments was artificially and deliberately inflated to get it up to ten. Here's what happened:
About 5,000 years ago a bunch of religious and political hustlers got together to try to figure out how to control people and keep them in line. They knew people were basically stupid and would believe anything they were told, so they announced that God had given them some commandments, up on a mountain, when no one was around.
Well let me ask you this- when they were making this shit up, why did they pick 10? Why not 9 or 11? I'll tell you why- because 10 sound official. Ten sounds important! Ten is the basis for the decimal system, it's a decade, it's a psychologically satisfying number (the top ten, the ten most wanted, the ten best dressed). So having ten commandments was really a marketing decision! It is clearly a bullshit list. It's a political document artificially inflated to sell better. I will now show you how you can reduce the number of commandments and come up with a list that's a little more workable and logical. I am going to use the Roman Catholic version because those were the ones I was taught as a little boy.
Let's start with the first three:
I AM THE LORD THY GOD THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME
THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN
THOU SHALT KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH
Right off the bat the first three are pure bullshit. Sabbath day? Lord's name? strange gods? Spooky language! Designed to scare and control primitive people. In no way does superstitious nonsense like this apply to the lives of intelligent civilized humans in the 21st century. So now we're down to 7. Next:
HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER
Obedience, respect for authority. Just another name for controlling people. The truth is that obedience and respect shouldn't be automatic. They should be earned and based on the parent's performance. Some parents deserve respect, but most of them don't, period. You're down to six.
Now in the interest of logic, something religion is very uncomfortable with, we're going to jump around the list a little bit.
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS
Stealing and lying. Well actually, these two both prohibit the same kind of behavior- dishonesty. So you don't really need two you combine them and call the commandment "thou shalt not be dishonest". And suddenly you're down to 5.
And as long as we're combining I have two others that belong together:
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTRY
THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE
Once again, these two prohibit the same type of behavior. In this case it is marital infidelity. The difference is- coveting takes place in the mind. But I don't think you should outlaw fantasizing about someone else's wife because what is a guy gonna think about when he's waxing his carrot? But, marital infidelity is a good idea so we're gonna keep this one and call it "thou shalt not be unfaithful". And suddenly we're down to four.
But when you think about it, honesty and infidelity are really part of the same overall value so, in truth, you could combine the two honesty commandments with the two fidelity commandments and give them simpler language, positive language instead of negative language and call the whole thing "thou shalt always be honest and faithful" and we're down to 3.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR"S GOODS
This one is just plain fuckin' stupid. Coveting your neighbor's goods is what keeps the economy going! Your neighbor gets a vibrator that plays "o come o ye faithful", and you want one too! Coveting creates jobs, so leave it alone. You throw out coveting and you're down to 2 now- the big honesty and fidelity commandment and the one we haven't talked about yet:
THOU SHALT NOT KILL
Murder. But when you think about it, religion has never really had a big problem with murder. More people have been killed in the name of god than for any other reason. All you have to do is look at Northern Ireland, Cashmire, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the World Trade Center to see how seriously the religious folks take thou shalt not kill. The more devout they are, the more they see murder as being negotiable. It depends on who's doin the killin' and who's gettin' killed. So, with all of this in mind, I give you my revised list of the two commandments:
Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie.
&
Thou shalt try real hard not to kill anyone, unless of course they pray to a different invisible man than you.
Two is all you need; Moses could have carried them down the hill in his fuckin' pocket. I wouldn't mind those folks in Alabama posting them on the courthouse wall, as long as they provided one additional commandment:
Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself."
Add the X1400 to the second one you are thinking of and youll have a great system. If you can swing it, upgrade the ram.
BTW, is there a reason for the dell?
Is it the financing? If its not, I can point you to an acer that will kill it for about the same or a couple hundred less.

True Dat!!!! Add to that, that alot of countries are bending over backwards to please Muslims thus allowing them the opertunities to use that against the countries(by useing the countries own laws and new laws to there advantage to further there agendas) and you have a disaster just waiting to happen. What people do not realise, is ALL of europe is alot closer than we are, and they must also realize that no matter how far you bend over for them, there still going to drive the shaft so far it will go through your teeth!lowing wrote:
The Middle East doesn't scare me, they just piss me off with all of their 5000 year old bullshit, that now is, conveniently, being blamed on Bush and Israel.
The appeasers and apologists also piss me off for their rationalisation of this behavior by the ME.
Everyone knows including the ME countries that they could be stomped back to the stone age, ( in this case about only 80 years) in a week but because of world politics, we are all forced to divert attention to them, because they refuse to play nice with each other, and it is getting old.
Religion is a bad thing if it goes beyond ones self. When its used as a comfort or as a standard to live a good Moral life, then No, its not a bad thing. Its Real bad when your religion teaches that your religion and ONLY your s should be followed by all men, thats when it gets fucked up. Hmmmm reminds me of one in particular today.EVieira wrote:
Many many terrible things have been done in the name of god or a religion. But is that really the fault of the religion, or of the men who interpret it? Below are the ten commandments, with a little interpretation. If we lived more by them, wouldn't the world be a better place?
PS: I am NOT Catholic, the commandments are an example
1. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself any
graven thing. (Worship only him, well if you believe than I think this one inst a problem)
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. (Same as the first)
3. Remember that thou keep holy the Lord's day. (Idem)
4. Honor thy father and thy mother. (Honor you ancestors. Totally abide by that one)
5. Thou shalt not kill. (No more wars?)
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery. (Adultery is not what you are thinking, its more than that...)
7. Thou shalt not steal. (Pretty straight to the point here)
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness. (No lies, no false hopes, just the truth. Wouldn't that be good?)
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. (It's not necessarily your neighbor, its the companion of anyone else. Troy would still be standing if people followed this one)
10.Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods. (I another words, don't envy others. God I hate envious people... )
4-10 should be the basis of living a decent life for ALL people, There's no mention of A God, and those 6 lay the ground work for a moral society. Now, if most people could just follow those simple guidelines, the world truly would be a better place.

PTSD really messes with your mind.
Bush is ruining soooo many lives, these people will be fucked up for a long ass time..
As for hateing the people, To each his own, But i dont think any human being hates kids no matter the situation, Those Young children are cought in the middle of some fucked up sectarian bullshit, and they will inherit the aftermath because GROWNUPS just cant seem to think straight. Belief in something is one thing, But to let Religion ruin your country is just fucked. Please dont go there with the catholic shit and the US, Theres a difference and it has to do with Morals(our laws are founded on good morals and not just a belief in god!) and Not blind faith and killing in the name of the religion.
I dont blame Bush 1 for my totally fucked up life because of my injury, and the fact i was there doing a job and Guess what, we didnt get to finish it!! Just miles from the city and you get the call to come back and go home. THIS war could have been avoided THEN, but do I blame him? NO, And it isnt like GW is there holding those guys hands and telling them to do this stupid shit.
As for the OP, The media of the world, includeing the US media wont show Anything good our men and women are doing, But yet your so quick to Judge ALL soldiers for the actions of a few Young asshats? Have you happened to notice that the Ones doing the fucked uop shit Includeing the broad with the pictures at Gitmo are ALL around 19 or whatever? Yah, Its typical of The generation, The lack of respect of this generation is astounding. If i just generalized I dont give a fuck, Because all evidence points to Just what ive said in most matters today, TOTAL lack of respect.
I have the Wii and Just about an hour ago Sears put 4 of the 20gig PS3's up and I GOT ONE!!!
I think the wii is fantastic, You really dont have to move that controller all that much to do most of the stuff in the sports games. Heck, just a flick of the wrist in golf gives you a straight power drive.
Sorry bout the hand, But Please next time, look around the room before going nutz, it could have been alot worse.

FAil to do WHAT????????? What exactly are you saying and how does it relate to the sectarian ways of Iraqis? If it doesnt have ANY relation to that, then your reply is useless at best. Im sorry dude but after the past 24 hours of this stuff from you i can not talk, jest, debate or whatever with you anymore. This and the PM i sent will be the last time i respond to or ask you anything. Even I am not so insensative to other people or people from other countries. No matter who it is. Me and Cam dissagree almost every day, But i actually respect his views even though they differ 100% than mine, and i have yet to lose respect for the guy, unlike you sir. Yes i KNOW this is the internet, But for gods sakes, Some of the trolling posts really do make your blood boil. Words and Intent, even on the internet can be hurtfull.Bubbalo wrote:

Well this is a loaded question. But my answer would be No, the US will not lose a label.
As for Iraq, It seems that they are use to 1000 years of sectarian fighting, and with saddam out of the way, they are back at it in full force. THATS not a failure on the part of the US, its a failure of the Iraqi people to change there thinking. IF the newer generation would disgard that traditional thinking, then Maybe(and thats a big maybe) Iraq could some day be considered a success. The Iraqi peoples are more loyal to tribal leaders and sects than they ever will be to ANY Govt, so Theres no such thing as success in Iraq, i dont care who fought it No country could have won, its too hard to change centuries of tradition.

On what boards? ALL the boards Ive owned from ASRock with AGP and PCIExpress are 16X. Where pretell did you get that info? Only down side to a couple of there old ones was the AGP was 4X but besides that The PCIExpress slots are 16X.Greenboi wrote:
if i were you id personally go for the intel version and get a C2D, im getting one soon, will outperform the AMD one by far
Oh, one thing to keep in mind, the PCIe slot on all these boards is limited to 4x, so the new 8800 series graphic cards wont work in them AT ALL. But any others will work just not as fast as a normal 16x speed
The biggest reason AMD won last time and had awesome processors was because IBM bailed them out with the A64 with Better silicon and processor design. But now that AMD has noone to lean on, and the fact they are putting ALOT into there ATI part of the company, They will be more of an OEM supplier now than an entheuisists company that turns out great gameing chips for cheap.Kmarion wrote:
