Headline on the news last night "Nutt on drugs"

She wants a break. I will get to see the child at Christmas. It's unbearable here for me now. Too much to go into in GC, but it is bad. Well you know best but dont give up on it if there is a chance you can still work it out.

Mate, are you sure about this?

That's the SPPI where... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_P...olicy_Institute Look at this bloke and you'll find... http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?articleId=7603 Instantly discredited by association. I'm sure there are plenty of inaccuracies in Al Gore's film btw. None that mean global warming isn't being exacerbated by man though. I find it ridiculous that any research that is privately funded is instantly discredited. That demonstrates a very poor understanding of scientific achievements. The majority of research is private, tall buildings dont fall over, planes stay in the sky, some drugs save people's lives, cars dont blow themselves up etc. All conclusions of private research. This guy may be a fraud (cant be arsed to check) but blithely dismissing science because it is privately funded is stupid. I'd already said earlier in the thread... So when CT uses a scientist whose research was sponsored by the petroleum institute, I thought it proved my point. Looking at his record further you can see that... and... Of course privately financed research discovers many wonderful things and I'd encourage any R&D any private company feels is of benefit. But a climate change research paper sponsored by the petroleum institute is generally going to be about as balanced as a 1960s lung cancer study commissioned by the tobacco industry. I was just goading you.

Some interesting arguments on thecynicalmusician.com about the impact of free music on the music industry. Am sure not everyone will agree with then. As NJS says if you are worried then join a newsgroup, download a newsreader and away you go. Loads of nzb sites out there.

Are you a do-gooder or a scientist? Thought it came across a bit Luke Skywalker.

Even if their actions restrict the choices that you can make? I can restrict my own choices while nobody else does and there'll be no effect, or the government can restrict everyones choices and there will be an effect. If there was no law against it, I'd choose to not pay for anything and walk around bollock naked masturbating into the faces of attractive women on the metro. The government restricts my choices for the common good every day. Odd example

Progressive reform is a good idea, trying to change everything overnight in healthcare just creates chaos. Look at how badly NHS reforms have been implemented. As for the bit about Snowe and him now apparently blocking the opt-out in the Senate package, isnt this just because 'the Senate-approved provision can be strengthened while it merges with the more robust House bill, creating a solid piece of legislation for the signing festivities.' Plus, as i have said already, whether Obama backs Snowe's ideas or Reids is irrelevant. Its just political noise, all Obama does is sign the final bill. There may be a million reasons why he is so keen to maintain Snowe's support. Its possible that he knows the Senate bill needs to come through with a consensus to ensure that when it merges with the house bill he has big hitters in his pocket. Who knows, i would hate to second guess the complexity of the politics.

Economists are also agreed that purely nationalised resource allocation mechanisms are inefficient too, a mix is required between public and private coverage. Without the concessions to the interested parties, the two Houses would still be arguing over whether reform was needed. This process has failed before because of the strength of lobbying against reform. I think tying the insurance industry into clear metrics which if not met, triggers further reform was a clever way round what has been until now an intractable problem.

Luke Vibert's album We Hear You. Square Footage is one of the techno tracks of the year.

Are you just goading me?

Postponed, sorry.

Marseille v PSG was cancelled yesterday due to the piggy flu.

Maybe you could have pretended to be him and recruited band members from the local school. Nevermind, it was a shit idea. Well I liked it.

Do any of your friends work as teaching temps?

Mac-mini + Plexx and away you go, need nothing else.

We are apes you chump. I've been discussing this on NO because i've been reading Nietzsche and watching 2001.

I'm not going to crack down on him till the end of the first term. He'll be relieved to hear that.

What by playing cliche bingo and demonstrating absolutely no knowledge of how the fans of this club really think, you think you are coming over as 'worldly' in front of self-obsessed fans? The only thing it demonstrates is that, like most other fans in the country, you only really know anything about your own club. Which is sort of like a self-obsession really.

Fish still wouldnt make the team either.
