I would think Norway might be a LITTLE bit of a different status on the world stage.. lets look at some numbers... From https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/no.html Area: total: 323,802 sq km land: 307,442 sq km water: 16,360 sq km Area - comparative: slightly larger than New Mexico Natural resources: petroleum, natural gas, iron ore, copper, lead, zinc, titanium, pyrites, nickel, fish, timber, hydropower I'm suprised America hasn't invaded it yet.

As opposed to England, where the food isn't bland at all...because we all know how delicious English food is. Odd, I thought it was the Indians that invented curry, not the English? That depends on the curry in question. The English national dish is now Chicken Tikka Massala. It was invented in England and has subsequently been exported to India where it was previously unheard of. Tonight I had a Raita that was hotter than the Vindaloo!!! Thats really wrong! "Chicken tikka masala is a Westernized Indian dish..." Hmmm..... Wrong... 'London: It is about as Indian as 'Chicken Manchurian' or 'Sour Hot Soup' are Chinese. The latter, among the most popular dishes on the menu of any Chinese restaurant in India, have never been heard of in China. Similarly, 'chicken tikka masala' Britain's favourite 'Indian' dish, is by no means Indian. It is unknown to Indian restaurants or dinner tables or palettes. Yet, in a ringing affirmation of the rise of multi culturalism, this phoney Indian dish is celebrating its 60th anniversary in Britain this month. It is the country's most popular dish - mind, not just most popular Indian dish - according to Food Service Intelligence. Robin Cook, the former British foreign minister, has hailed it as "Britain's true national dish,” relegating fish and chips to second place. It accounts for a quarter of the total turnover of 2.5 billion pounds of all the 9000 odd 'curry houses' in Britain, and won the Best in Britain Award (BIBA) for best dish in 2002. The organisers of the National Curry Week have estimated that if all the portions of chicken tikka masala consumed annually in the country were stacked on top of one another, they would form a tower 2770 times taller than the Greenwich Millenium Dome. The origins of the dish lie shrouded in mystery. If an apocryphal story is to be believed, it was invented by a Bangladeshi chef to please a demanding British customer. The first Bangladeshi restaurants - calling themselves 'Indian restaurants' of course - opened in Britain in the 1940s, serving mostly Punjabi cuisine, specially Chicken Makhani, Chicken Tandoori, Chicken Tikka. At one such restaurant a Sylheti chef served a customer a dry Chicken Tikka dish he had taken some pains over, and was expecting to be appreciated for. Instead the pukka sahib summoned him and hollered: 'Where's the gravy?' The chef took the dish back into the kitchen and simply emptied a can of tomato soup into it, adding a few spices as well. When he brought back the altered dish, his customer was delighted. Thus was 'Chicken Tikka Masala' born. For long it was looked down upon by connoisseurs. Mahendra Kaul, who founded Gaylords in London in the 1950s, recalled TN Kaul, then India's deputy high commissioner in Britain, laying down a condition when invited for the opening: he would not come if chicken tikka masala was on the menu. But just as a trashy Bollywood film can attain iconic status once it proves a blockbuster, chicken tikka masala has had the last laugh, marching triumphantly ahead, silencing all critics.' http://content.msn.co.in/Nri/NRIHinT_221007_1310.htm (An INDIAN web site) http://www.menumagazine.co.uk/book/tikkamasala.html When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Avoiding CNN! Thing is we tend to hear all about the soundbites, CHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGE... Why is it that all we hear is them slagging each other off and spouting soundbites where are their policies? Also I can't get my head around what exactly they are doing, I mean why don't the democrates and the Republican parties just vote all at once or at their central office to nominate a candidate and then vote for who they want as president? Whats going on I just don't get it. Maybe if I did I'd find it more interesting. I also don't understand that people get so passionate about a sleezeball polititian that they are willing to chuck their jobs in some cases to work for the candidates for FREE in some cases and follow them all over the bloody big country. Its weird. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

This is what you and I think. It is not what socialists and "progressives" think. Why? Cause you and I are not smart enough (because we do not agree with them) so they NEED to take care of us If you want thousands of unwanted teenage pregnancies teaching about sex without teaching about relantionships and responsibility is a great way of achieving that.

I'm SOOOOOO SICK of hearing about the bloody American elections. They were banging on about which multi-millionaire corrupt waste of space was ahead in whichever hick county it was and underneath the report was telling me about the REAL news. WTF can't the Yanks just bloody well get on with it and let us know which berk they chose after the elections like the rest of the world do?

People mock Al Qaeide for being cave dwelling people living in the middle ages. This image is wrong and dangerous. Al Qaeida have always used the media and new media to spread their message. In this respect they are far from being from a previous age and are better thought of as contempory marxists in their MO. Acting as the vanguard for an international religious revolution. Their propergander unit seems to be able to teach the Pentagons a thing or two as they have gone from being a small group of fanatics to a new world wide philosophy which inspires acts of terrorism on a scale never seen before. Even Marx wasn't able to achieve that. This move by them is simply the next tactic in a long standing high tech media stratergy.
