  1. Sorry I can't help you, but please let me know once you find out what's wrong with your cat. Because my friend's SO shows a few of those traits too (not afraid of anyone, lets any guy pick her up and pet her; but get's bitchy around other pussies). »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  2. (c) Leo Tolstoy. *seconds that* A noble quest which will keep you occupied for a lifetime. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  3. Bleh. Their "actresses" are waaaaay too hairy down south. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  4. Could be because it's been a while since we've been involved in a "major" war. I say it should be ceasefire and the US withdraws its troops. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  5. Uh, yeah. Through intimidation. Beheadings, the Grand Inquisition, burning of witches... For an institution claiming to know it all, the Church sure had to adjust quite a few of its teaching. I mean, after all, the earth is flat and - as we all know - the center of the universe and stuff... Amen. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  6. Right. So it just ends with not just you having sand in your face but both of you losing a few teeth, having a few broken bones and ribs, shedding a lot of blood... Besides, this isn't a very christian attitude. I remember reading something about "an eye for an eye" being bad and if my memory serves me right, there was something about "offering the other cheek" too. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  7. Sure doesn't behave like it. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  8. Amen! And if the US would start spending a bit less on warfare it'd be close to perfect. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  9. Lots of functioning businesses, and financially sound estates are torn apart by inheritance tax, thus leaving the recepients scraping to hold things together. Seems counter productive to me. You do know that only those pay inheritance tax which can afford it, right? It won't hit the poor or middle-class man. That its tearing apart "lots of functioning businesses and financially sound estates" is nothing but a strategically clever strewn myth by those who don't want to pay the "death tax" (read: the rich ones). So the US government is short on dough and still it forbears from the millions of rich families like the Hilton clan. Seems counter productive to me. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  10. I have the perfect idea for the US government since its so broke: Cut the death tax. Honestly, like that Mr. Hilton and companions don't have to pay a few millions once they snuff it and leave their billions to their miscarried brats. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  11. You mean "fund the UN" like in "unwilling to pay your dues out of protest"? Rrrrrrrright-o. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  12. Tell that to the Sailors in the USS Cole I said relatively... »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  13. I was talking about the industry, not GWB. He's just the stooge. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  14. Who killed the electric car... I'd say pretty much the same person that said "no" to the Kyoto protocol. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  15. *snickers* That so-called "argument" doesn't work since even Russia itself isn't communist anymore. And guess what, they've gone through Glasnost without the US. Plus, you're taking quite a big mouthful claiming that the other allies would not have managed to bring the 3rd Reich down without the US. You can't be certain that sooner or later Germany (or a united Europe) would have remidied itself of Hitler on its own since the resistance was gaining power. So, where's the proof to that pretension of yours? Are you really convinced that the world can't do anything without the US? I seriously doubt it that Germans would still wave the Hakenkreuz if you would not have interferred. Why should Iran care what you think about them then? Why should they give a fuck? Why the hell should the rest of the world give a damn about what you think about it or how you want it to be? Because your opinion is better than theirs? Says who? Why should a government care what its people think of it? This argument works both ways. People... the Middle East is mentally still back in the middle ages. What needs to be done is to lift them into the 21st century - not beat them with a stick. Their hatred for the western world reaches back to the christian crusades. By marching in there again you're just making this even worse. But as long as you're saying "fuck ppl from other countries" you won't be seeing the necessity to understand people fom other countries. And as long that's not the case, they will keep finding volunteers to fly Boings into your skyscapers. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady.

  16. There's a whole lot of videos on Google and YouTube. Just do a search for "Iraq". Here's another "nice" one. Less dramatic, but still: >>Clicky
  17. I'd love to, but Luzern is quite far from where I'm from (750 km) - so no cruising there for the weekend. I've been to Zuerich in Feb 2004 to get some tunnel time though. Ruemlang will definately see me again. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  18. There's an old saying: "Power is nothing without control." I'd rather live in the most wise and sophisticated country - after all, I prefer discussing with people over beating them up to see my point. As long as there's skydiving I don't care if it's football, soccer, hockey or ping-pong. Everything including a ball (no matter if its big, small, round or egg-shaped) is just plain boring. After all that Yankee-bashing there's something nice I need to say about the US though: You're making decent movies (as long they're not over-patriotic flicks like The Legend of Zorro ). »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady.

  19. Now that's a plane I'd like to jump from. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of those in Europe. The only one I know of is flying in Switzerland. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  20. Perfect example. Thanks a lot for getting across our point. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  21. You could start by respecting the concept of global democracy instead of elbowing your way through the rest of the (western) world. Get in tune with the UN and the NATO before you march out to wipe out the whole muslim world single-handedly. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  22. Of course. After all, we are nothing but the pro-Saddam children of Hitler anyway. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  23. Cessna 182 Cessna 206T Soloy Cessna 208 Caravan I Pilatus PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter Britten Norman Islander Dornier Do 28-D2 Skyservant Bell 206L3 LongRanger III A short list, allright - but I haven't seen the Do 28 in a lot of lists in here. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  24. Of course! The burned flags before they bombed embassies, didn't they? Well, allright... actually they didn't bomb embassies on that matter, they just charged, pillaged and burned them. »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
  25. You do know how old that one is, do you? »Somewhere between the lies and truths borderlines get shady. Somewhere between the yesses and nos you can find the maybe.«
