Comments:
<0> like when you call mccain a liberal
<1> panini, lol
<2> I am content
<1> panini, nice try
<1> panini, I have never denied that I'm a liberal and I've never run from it
<2> got a little hand laundry done
<3> yes, nudged her into position. especially with the "oppos individual liberty"
<1> But anyone's political beliefs are complex
<3> *E
<4> I have a problem where any buttinsky liberal wants to reach into my pocket, look into my home, require me to carry a piece of paer or otherwise impose a rule beyond what nature demands on me on mine or on anyone around me
<5> vas|lptp, yup :)
<4> thats my political stance in a nutshell
<6> panini do believe anyone who isnt economically libertarian is socialist
<2> Pickle, I'm reading the article about Carter's call to Rice etc, did you read the New York Magazine article about the UN and Bolton earlier this week?
<0> pilgrim` anything you don't mind paying taxes for?
<2> it's at http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/politics/international/features/15457/index.html if you haven't
<7> o/
<4> oax heroin. I find the heorin tax adeqate
<1> heh
<8> wow
<2> very relevant observations about the human rights commission among the article's stellar features
<9> oax: constitutionally mandated purposes
<8> jimmy carter is planning reform on current human rights standards with Cuba, Egypt, and Pakistan
<8> the great defenders of human rights
<8> god, what a total idiot
<9> lap: human right standard extrodinairs.. wonder why he is ignoring darfur?
<9> north korea?
<9> Rwanda?
<2> the human rights commission isn't a dream come true, though many UN enthusiasts talk as if it, like the UN itself, is just that
<2> it's actually rather nightmarish
<8> everyone knows the UN is powerless
<8> if you want to **** something up, hand it over to a committee
<8> which, after all the charades and skyscrapers, is what the U.N. is
<4> when the Comissar came to the village to explain Communism he said" This measn If you have horse, you share your horses" the peasants all nod..."If you have Pigs, you share pigs" again a nod. "If you have sheep you share your sheep" this tiem a frown and a shake of the head. Why is this a mroblem Gospodins?
<2> it does own certain hearts and minds, lapointe, as the Vatican in its separate sphere does, and it's a worthwhile analogy, imo
<4> "we have no horse nor pigs,, but we have sheep"
<2> the UN is the holiest organization on earth and the Secretary General is infallible
<8> hehe
<4> god belss secularism
<8> aye
<8> lol
<0> It's most helpful to talk about human rights to those who need to hear it the most. like those countries
<5> pilgrim`, hehe
<10> found it :)
<2> from that article: "From the moment Bolton arrived, he spoke of a very particular agendanamely, to make a nimbler, more transparent, more sensible institution out of a place that could produce the Oil-for-Food scandal, which wound up enriching Saddam Hussein by $10.1 billion,
<0> why is that hard to grasp?
<10> Movie piracy and filtering (Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005)
<2> "and the infamous Commission on Human Rights, a travesty of a body that includes countries with appalling human-rights records such as Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, and Cuba."
<10> new i would
<2> Carter has not been doing his homework.
<0> Nemes what about it?
<10> oax, censorship stealth stylie
<6> katey is an evil statist who wants to oppress people
<0> Nemes sounds fun. how does it work?
<11> redfish : lets tag team and opress her if you want too ?
<5> redfish, no... mostly she doesn't understand the consequences of her positions
<10> it basicaly gives some peoples at state level, the ability to censor films to a suitable level
<10> or something similar
<12> ewwwww ... sounds kinkey
<2> Carter achieves great things on a human scale with things like Habitat For Humanity, but tends to bungle when he's been pressured into trying to get involved in some specific global policy matters
<10> thgey get to cut bits outs
<0> redfish she wants to make a really high birth tax to force people to have abortions
<11> FEMA : hmm
<11> FEMA : get your mind out of the verbial gutter.
<5> Nemes, that's the excuse, but the real *intent* is to preserve the movie/recording industry monopoly
<10> ya
<10> there is that behinfd it also
<0> how does it perserve the monopoly?
<10> behind -even-
<5> it allows them to force equipment manufacturers to install anti-copying devices
<5> which they've already done
<10> its very cleverly worded
<5> they got it into the HDMI standard already
<11> panini : HDMI ?
<8> wait, what are we talking about
<11> occ needs to stop pinging out.
<4> Carter was to presidency what Mother THeresa was to military tactics
<5> TimothyWT, it's the digital i/f for hi def
<11> pilgrim : I agree
<11> panini : ok.
<13> Abusive Domain or User
<10> how many people here are on dual cored machines so far?
<10> just FT?
<10> anyone else?
<0> my machine (work) is dualcore
<4> Nemes Crabby Appleton said he liekd them
<10> talking home system
<14> yeh
<14> i have dualcore at work
<0> ah nope
<14> with 4GB of ram
<4> what is with this join/leave?
<14> it's pretty good
<10> just wondering how many peeps have bothered to invest in dual cored tech for home systems
<10> im in the market c
<0> tsunade 3G here =(
<14> oax, i am better than you :)
<4> I haev 2 dual CPU boxes at home. I haev 3 but gave away my Dual Pentium Pro box
<3> must be a dcc send, client vulnerability
<0> tsunade maybe you jut need a better computer to make up the handicap
<14> we talking about dual core not dual cpu
<14> oax, my computer better than urs :)
<10> pilgrim`, yeah thats dual cpu not dual cored cpu#s
<10> :)
<14> i have 4GB ram :)
<10> still
<4> Nemes I am quite aware
<10> :)
<10> i know u r
<4> my other dualies are a dual G4 MDD and a dualie G5 1.5
<5> tsunade, what do you do with it?
<10> trying to persuade myself to invest but then again i am on the verge of putting it off for a few months and seeing how much the prices come down
<10> there still fairly hefty in price at the moment
<14> what do i do with it?
<14> photoshop
<4> wgats with this garbage?
<10> the x2 4400 are anyways
<4> are those a couple of Bots?
<14> lol @ oax
<14> are you a writer?
<5> Nemes, resign yourself to the fact that prices will drop continuously forever
<4> LSD_Wash is beginnign to bug me
<10> tsunade, only reason i want one for is so i can get better rendering times
<5> oax that's nutty
<14> nemes what do you render
<0> tsunade no I was joking I am a software engineer, and this is linux so no notepad
<14> linux, yuck
<10> tsunade, ALLSORTS, MAINLY STUFF OUT OF MAX/MAYA/XSI
<10> oops
<10> sorry caps
<14> nemes, are you a computer modeler?
<15> I've done rough drafts in notepad:)
<2> I guess Carter is another who clings to the symbolic meaning of the UN to the exclusion of studying how it actually functions
<5> Nemes, instead, try to figure out how close to the leading edge you wanna be
<0> mostly I IRC. that needs at least 2.5 gig
<14> hrmm...so you use a wacom tablet?
<10> tsunade, i like to think i play at it fairly well ya
<14> oh
<10> some would probably rgue otherwise hehe
<14> so you probably pirated those softwares?
<10> tsunade, yeah
<14> hehe
<3> who needs that when youve got knotes
<14> im thinking about getting a wacom tablet
<10> on the tablet side of this i mean
<14> which one you got?
<14> im thinking about getting the wide screen one
<14> so i can use it with my laptop at home
<0> it's nerd talk time. in about 20 minuets it will be gun-talk time, then back to calling each other names
