<< < 1 2 3 4 5 6 > >> 7. mai 2009, 02:50:54 Teema: Re: Czuch  Artful Dodger: Actually, there's more.  The "Youth in Asia" was only a part of a discussion on medical ethics. Diapers on!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UST26RjBXvo&feature=related 7. mai 2009, 01:02:28 Teema: Re: Czuch 5. mai 2009, 11:00:24 Aren't there some fellowships designated for flamewars? The "discussion" below has nothing to do with politics, let alone serious argumentation. 19. aprill 2009, 15:42:14 Teema: Re: Czuch: I don't quite understand what's so funny about it. 19. aprill 2009, 02:23:40 Teema: Re: 18. aprill 2009, 20:39:22 Teema: Re: Czuch: I admire your deduction abilities. You should be working for CIA as a clairvoyant. 18. aprill 2009, 20:28:11 Teema: Re: Czuch: OK, but who cares about your Police Country in this particular case. This happened in the UK, where non-compliance with a request of a police officer (no matter if the officer requests you to move faster or to jump out of a window or to quack while jumping on your left leg) is not a crime and it's not against the law. Why would he think about some twisted US laws when walking home from work? 18. aprill 2009, 19:07:19 Teema: Re: Pedro Martínez toimetatud (18. aprill 2009, 19:08:03) Czuch: He was non compliant to a request from a police officer.... that is illegal That is illegal only in countries where the Police are above the law, just as (V) aptly pointed out. In democratic countries, however, even the Police have to obey the rules. 11. aprill 2009, 23:37:08 Teema: Re: Hooray for the Frency Artful Dodger: With the exception of the last sentence, I totally agree.  11. aprill 2009, 18:27:35 Teema: Re: Hooray for the Frency Artful Dodger: There is a comando group of sorts. It's called Combined Task Force 150. However, the take-no-prisoners approach is not feasible. International law, you know... :) But now when we have a US hostage, I can imagine a change in this respect - as the US has proven not to worry much about the international law in the past few years.  11. aprill 2009, 18:07:19 Teema: Re: Hooray for the Frency Pedro Martínez toimetatud (11. aprill 2009, 18:09:11) Artful Dodger: Yes, they have. And I actually think the international forces (including the US) have been doing a good job fighting against them. There were victims, there were ransoms paid, but the number of successful pirate acts has a decreasing tendency. I especially welcomed the recent incident involving FGS Spessart. 11. aprill 2009, 16:32:00 Teema: Re: Hooray for the Frency Czuch: Well, they won't rescue the captain without talking to the pirates, I can tell you that. 11. aprill 2009, 16:30:55 Teema: Re: Hooray for the Frency Vikings: How about USS Cape St. George, USS Gonzalez, MV Seabourn Spirit (not a US-registered vessel, but owned by an American corporation) or MS Nautica (again, not registered in the US, but owned by a US-based corporation)? For further information on the Somali piracy problem, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_piracy 11. aprill 2009, 14:41:27 Teema: Re: Hooray for the Frency Artful Dodger: Bush would NEVER have tolerated this crap! So you're saying the pirates were waiting for Obama to get elected. There had been no piracy off the Somali coast before . 7. aprill 2009, 22:53:08 Teema: Re: Bernice: I was thinking exactly the same thing. I have a 42-inch TV and my budget is nowhere close to hers. 7. aprill 2009, 16:35:44 Teema: Re: Czuch: Tell me how "ineffectual" the UN was in the Persian Gulf War or the Korean War. 2. aprill 2009, 21:20:58 Teema: Re: Thoughts on this? Artful Dodger: Shhh! They will ban you for posting names! 1. aprill 2009, 23:35:42 Teema: Re: got this in email today LOL Bernice: 26. märts 2009, 23:52:38 Teema: Re: Pedro Martínez toimetatud (26. märts 2009, 23:56:37) (V): Sure, but what I mean is that if the anti-missile system is efficient as it should be, the EMP bomb would not even come close. But I might be wrong in this, as I'm no "bomb expert". :) 26. märts 2009, 23:50:19 Teema: Re: The US economic policy is the road to hell." (V): I can imagine that could be the impression you had. I had quite the opposite feeling. The problem lies with the interpreters and translators in Strasbourg and Brussels. :) 26. märts 2009, 23:45:11 Teema: Re: (V): True, but I guess it would not be so easy to deliver such EMP bomb to the radar site. 26. märts 2009, 23:40:02 Teema: Re: The US economic policy is the road to hell." (V): I watched the speech live, and that was exactly what he said. Of course, some of his fellow partymen (like Vondra) tried to downplay the meaning of his words, being shocked by their openness and afraid of the consequences. And by the way, I don't see it as a blunder at all. That's just a wish of the socialists. 26. märts 2009, 23:31:27 Teema: Re: Czuch: Some bunkhouses are actually being built here for operators of the American anti-missile radar, the construction of which will soon begin as well, so I'm sure you'd be more than welcome there. If you insist on a bunkhouse, that is...:)))26. märts 2009, 03:20:26 Teema: Re: Czuch: That's not him, Chuck. :) The guy who's the avid fighter against the global warming hoax is Václav Klaus, the Czech President. 26. märts 2009, 02:32:11 Warning! Quote follows! Read at your own risk! "The US economic policy is the road to hell." (Mirek Topolánek, Czech Prime Minister and EU President) Finally someone who said it loud. 11. märts 2009, 16:41:40 Teema: Re: The Larger Issue Czuch: Điện Biên Phủ 7. märts 2009, 04:52:22 Teema: Re: Bernice: "Canceled" (or "canceling", "cancelable", "canceler") is proper American spelling. The rest of the English-speaking world spells it with double L. 5. märts 2009, 03:50:10 Teema: Re: buckaroos Tuesday: I'm afraid he's not kidding us indeed, read this. "$1.7 million for "Swine Odor and Manure Management Research" ...  5. märts 2009, 03:30:08 Teema: Re: Tuesday: I'm not blaming your son for taking the money, I'm sure he's a good person (he's your son after all ), I'm blaming the government for giving it to him.5. märts 2009, 03:27:04 Teema: Re: buckaroos Artful Dodger: Now it's you who's jesting, no doubt. 5. märts 2009, 03:26:35 Teema: Re: Tuesday: I think it's just wasted money. Too few and too scattered to be able to help the plants reopen or to help corporations in general, yet too much if you count it altogether. I can imagine a number of better ways how to stimulate the economy. Bernice: I can agree with that. Wrong people, wrong reasons.  5. märts 2009, 03:18:08 Teema: Re: Tuesday: Oh, I see. Not a good idea, if you asked me. :) 5. märts 2009, 03:17:29 Teema: Re: buckaroos The Usurper: It's an awesome word. I had quite a blast when I first read it. :)) 5. märts 2009, 03:14:01 Teema: Re: ScarletRose: OK, that I get, but how is the extra money a "stimulus"? A stimulus stimulates you to do something. This seems to me to be nothing more than just a generous gift from the government. 5. märts 2009, 03:03:23 Teema: Re: Tuesday: I don't quite get the point of this stimulation. Will the extra 25 buckaroos (I love this word, thank you ) stimulate him to exercise more effort in finding a job?3. märts 2009, 04:25:31 Teema: Re: anastasia: What is so confusing to me about it? Go back to my previous post. You might notice two words there that I, for some reason, wrote in bold. Now begin to ask yourself: "Why did he write them in bold?" and you may find the answer. 2. märts 2009, 21:08:04 Teema: Re: anastasia: Yes, it IS your opinion, I do respect it, but I have every right to disagree and to let you know about it. As for the gender of your mother Earth, you keep confusing me. This is what you wrote: look at how the earh was BEFORE man had it's hand in destroying it..use to be a nice place untill we messed it all up 2. märts 2009, 17:07:02 Teema: Re: anastasia: Move to Mars. Look how nice it (or is Mars "he"?) is without us. I'm sure you'd feel very comfortable there. No man around... what an awesome place to live. 25. veebruar 2009, 02:45:54 Teema: Re: Tuesday: Try this or this one (the real Budweiser). Some of the best beer brands this Earth has ever seen. :) 25. veebruar 2009, 02:34:01 Teema: Re: Tuesday: Yes, American beer IS quite disgusting. 20. veebruar 2009, 14:11:17 Teema: Re: "free health care is a meaningless point" Pedro Martínez toimetatud (20. veebruar 2009, 14:11:37) Czuch: I've just had a good laugh over this post of yours, Chuck. Thanks for prolonging my life by a few minutes. 16. veebruar 2009, 00:17:06 Teema: Re: Just to back up what Bwild said below about battered and abused men...... Bernice: Josef Stehlík, a Czech name, meaning Joseph the Goldfinch, LOL. 15. veebruar 2009, 21:45:00 Teema: Re: Bernice: I'm not sure about the British laws but if that happened in this country, the girl would face a criminal charge for sexual abuse...:) 14. veebruar 2009, 22:11:16 Teema: Re: I found this Pedro Martínez toimetatud (14. veebruar 2009, 22:12:13) Mousetrap: The most important part of the article: "The judgments of the courts have no basis in British law, and are therefore technically illegitimate - they are binding only in that those involved agree to comply." And I add: and will never have and will always be. 14. veebruar 2009, 22:08:35 Teema: Re: Opress "GERRY": For the same reason women born in Peru and Australia do so. 14. veebruar 2009, 22:03:05 Teema: Re: honor killings Mousetrap: That is certainly not true. 14. veebruar 2009, 22:01:30 Teema: Re: Where's the irony? Artful Dodger: I think you're confusing two terms. Islam and Sharia. I believe most Muslims would condemn and do condemn such honor killings, and most Islamic countries have stopped pursuing the Sharia Law. Unfortunately, there are still lots of "conservative" and "traditionally" thinking people who think of those harsh punishments as the only way. 12. veebruar 2009, 18:21:15 Teema: Re: Artful Dodger: There are a few conspiracy theories I do support (like this one). I believe it's not right to condemn a "theory" only because it's labeled a conspiracy one. The competent authorities should investigate every single possibility (in the case of conspiracies involving any criminal actions) and provide the results thereof. If they fail to do so, I think a common man has every right to believe that any such conspiracy theory might be true. 26. jaanuar 2009, 03:24:41 Teema: Re: Czuch: Of course, it is your right to challenge the correctness of the classification. I don't see any problem in that. If you do so, it's the State's job to prove that the classification is OK. I actually disagree that we have to agree that we disagree on the necessity of a new classification. We do agree on that! My point is that the new classification cannot be applied to people captured and detained before the adoption of such new classification. 26. jaanuar 2009, 03:13:48 Teema: Re: Even Though BBW won't respond, the idea that Bush lied is a radical left propaganda ploy Artful Dodger, Vikings: Good point. It would solve the problem indeed, but only temporarily (for reasons defined in the Third Geneva Convention) and they would have had to be given the POW status immediately after being captured. They can't be made POWs now, as they have already been interrogated. In my opinion, the best way out of this problem is to pass a constitutional-level law that would deal with these "enemy combatants". << < 1 2 3 4 5 6 > >> |
