    Apartheid

    Stevie, not sure what your point was before this became (yet another) KD flame war, and it was a rather long OP.....please paraphrase. cheers
  2. i was just suggesting that an attack on the game would be easier in SA than say london or washington.
  3. It's the World Cup not Die Hard 5. bit naive....non? Dans les nuits sud-africaines don' les hommes vont pĂȘcher avec les dindes pour attraper des perroquets ? In the South-African nights don' will the men fish with turkeys to catch parrots? ......uh, pardon?

  5. it's Meh......not nearly as good as Ritche's other movies.
  6. you can register ( for free)for Ubisoft's "Uplay" at uplay.com allows you to build up uplay points within the game which you can redeem for exclusive content at the beginning screen instead of picking storymode, press triangle to go to uplay i've unlocked throwing knife belt (+5 throwing knives) Altair's outfit and the Auditore Family Crypt (although i can't get in yet) i assume that this will be the way further DLC will be administered
  7. FEKKING BRILLIANT!!!!!!! amazing storyline, keeps getting better and better , got me hooked for the next one. gameplay is typically ubisoft awkward, but you get used to it, doesn't hinder an otherwise stellar gaming experience.
  8. But this basically says that some midgies that used to be abundant are now declining...... Means nothing really. They might do this every 7000 years as the earth warms and cools naturally. Its this sort of scientific crap that annoys me. Probably costs hundreds of thousands to find out as well. Until one of the Presidents assistants agrees to speak to the geeky scientist who has just got off a plane with new data or untill Jeremy from Sky news is sent somewhere to cover the breaking climate change story then it is all bollox. it says that there is proof, within the layers of sediment, that the earth would be in a period of cooling. instead we are warming the planet up, at our own peril.......the reason this is a big deal is that most lake beds have been scoured by the glacial process and don't offer as much data of the past climatic conditions. this data goes back 80,000 years further then was previously possible.......but you're right it's probably nothing
  9. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/...91019162929.htm interesting article, new evidence we're fucking things up "The 20th century is the only period during the past 200 millennia in which aquatic indicators reflect increased warming, despite the declining effect of slow changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis which, under natural conditions, would lead to climatic cooling," notes the University of Colorado's Dr. Axford. The ancient lake sediment cores are the oldest ever recovered from glaciated parts of Canada or Greenland. Massive ice sheets during ice ages generally scour the underlying bedrock and remove previous sediments.
  10. aye they do that sort of thing in American football as well don't they? so many calls per game or something. @Slowing up flow of the game, there's so much arsing about at freekicks and corners that argument is null and void, players standing over the ball, chasing down a ref, nothing is taken quickly now. Goal line technology for major decisions in the box is needed imo, adding more inept officials behind the net or wherever else will never help. American Football has a 'coaches challenge' system. I think they allowed to make up to three challenges but if they fail, they lose a time-out. If they have no time-outs left they can't challenge. The equivalent in football would have to be if your challenge failed you'd lose a substitution. No subs left, no challenge. It works well over there. I also think the coaches can't challenge in the final 2 minutes of the game (might be either half, not sure), but the umpire can choose to look at a video replay in that time if he feels the need. The NFL are much more open to making changes to the rules for the good of the game than FIFA. only been in use for a couple of years now and it isn't an exact science either as not all calls are challengeable....quite often you see the ref giving the challenge flag back too a sheepish coach b/c the call could not be questioned.

    The Mafia

    it's bikers here in BC (canada really), mafia plays second fiddle to the H.A. and the independant soldiers
  12. I love that method of dismissing facts as if they cloud the issue. XTC were a far better band and never got close to the widespread recognition The Police got. I call bullshit on that one..........at least from a percussion stand point, Stewart Copeland on drums ( when the world is runnning down), second only to Neil Peart , now Sting on bass, well I'm willing to concede to XTC on that one, Andy Summmers was pretty good at what he did I would argue that no one (except the Clash and maybe Bruce Cockburne) was doing what the Police where doing with Reggae and new wave/ punk music, XTC (excellent band by the way) and Strontium 90 have more in common than XTC and the later incarnation of Sting Andy and Stewart but then there's never accounting for taste in music
  13. ok, so let me get this straight. I'm clearly on the wind up with J69 You say that the feigned stance is boring while conceding that I'm only messing Now you're trying to cover your pointless post with a supposition fwiw it's not the drugs that make me oh-so-cool, i'm a blazer FYP
  14. fwiw everything in moderation is just a rationalization, take ownership of that joint or line or capsule IMO however, we have had certain certain drugs branded as BAD by arms of various governments without really knowing. McGill university has just started to do experimentations with Psyllocibin, in a blind study 50 people were given the drug and 50 more were given a placebo. Nearly all the people given the psyllocibin reported having a religious like experience whose effects lasted far after the drug would have left their bodies. All I'm saying is if someone used LSD once or twice, or mushrooms once or twice, of smoked a joint once or twice....and completely lost the plot, there is a good chance there was a preexisting problem with the wiring...IMO The Nancy Reagan era delineation of what drugs are bad and what are acceptable needs to be edited......again, IMHO I will always fondly remember those mushroom tea weekends and how relaxing and revealing they were. IMO LSD isn't really good for you, but a light shroom tea taken with friends is splendid. agreed...and sorry for the highjack (thanks catmag), hope things work out for you PL and Jimbo
  15. erm.......Cobain died from a shotgun blast to the head/face area......surely no one on here is recommending that

  17. fair enough how do you define harm though? there is evidence that "mind altering" drugs (psyllocibin, dmt) used in opiate addiction therapy have the beneficial effect of separating the ego from the subconcious in a way that traditional (western) drug therapies can't. Power to you and your choices, not all drugs are like cocaine and heroine though, and to use your own analogy whould not be painted with the same "illicit" brush
  18. KD......all drugs are bad? or just illicit ones? what about coffee? sugar? booze? not trying to be a jerk, just would like some insight into your opinion.
  19. Sorry to hear of your troubles gents.....remember women are like buses, there'll be another one along in 15 min (just make sure you're getting on the right one) in the immortal words of the B-Boys I only rock Puma, never rock Fila I do not sniff da coke, i only smoke da sensimilla
  20. That's interesting. Have you a link? on dotCOM

    Happy 400th

    Should have kept Canada. ah well hind sight is always 20/20.....i heard there is some sort of athletics competition this winter, might be worth checking out
  22. who knew......Chuck and Precilla/Cammilla/whateva, were being paraded around Cupids Newfoundland this morning to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the colonization of the Great White North. So a hearty 'HUZZAH!!!' from Terrance and Phillip and the rest of us.....
  23. agreed i think that a policy similar to Canberra should be implemented, you are allow 3 or 4 plants for your own use. do it right and you always have a stash with more on the way. fwiw none of the dealers i know are sleazy and the 'green economy' in BC is the only thing stopping this province from being more like the maritimes when the fisheries collapsed.
