"Would that include jailing and torturing "suspects" that are white Americans?" Isn't the CIA primarily interested in foreign intel gathering? If you were a nice American citizen wouldn't the FBI be torturing/dumping you at sea etc, you in this scenario? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Agree with torture or not... there's just something odd about such a dichotomous stance. " Didn't we 'allow' evidence gained from torture or similar methods to be admissable recently, I recall Blunkett trying to push that through, but I've kinda been out of touch. Puts our Tony in a similar dichotomy. "Hows it going anyway Nac, back from looking for more black stuff? " Aye sort of, been away a lot (way too much) this year, some nice places some nasty, but mostly good people all over. Been busy with what little time I have had in this country too. Bought a house built circa 1800, so plenty to keep me out of trouble, which I'm sure will come as a relief to many here. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Why would the CIA be an exception to something that doesn't happen? "US President George W Bush defended his government's treatment of detainees, and insisted: "We do not torture".

I reckon it becomes a 'civil war' if some form of command or control structure emerges to direct the unrest. IE if say someone called 'Le-Nac' came up with some sort of manifesto or serious list of demands or solutions and organised the current apparently nebulous unrest, we might end up with a new 'Nac-Publique', with Fraternity, Egality, Fraternity, and pain au chocolat for all. I don't think the current rioters want the government or administration system toppled, they're just wanting a some if the inequalities sorted out. Had the been rioting to remove the government, I'd say it might border on the civil war. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"The general population doesn't really like them, the government tries to support them under the social policies, and their numbers are growing incredibly fast. Best of luck to France in solving this social problem. " Its not an easy one old chum, seen it before all over the place. LA, Birmingham, Manchester, Brixton (UK) and it happened before in France in the sixties, although my memories of that are kinda vague I don't think its down to religion as some here may be suggesting, more like plain old 'haves' and 'have nots'. The have nots are unhappy about, as you say, the man sticking it to them Its happened before, it'll happen again, I just hope not too many folk get hurt before it runs its course. I doesn't help that the French admin appears to be insulting some of rioters by calling them scum and so forth. I don't really think France can turn its back on the immigration issues here either, the downside to building empires is that the people you subjugate have a 'right' to come and live in your country, and the 'empire' has a duty to provide for them. Not an easy spot to be in at all. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

"Once you have become addicted to DZ.com.. How do you get away??"

I'm not sure what could have been done to avoid this tragic incident. The kid took a bunch of guns from his home, shot the security guard on the way into school and then went mad. Something failed somewhere, but I don't think it was gun legislation, or even school security in this instance. Tragic. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Well, I'm a hippy who services oil drinking consumer fucks via my current employer, the reviled Halliburton, so don't go paying too much attention to me!. What do I think?...the site is somewhat pessimistic.

Pelicans are bomb proof, I love them. I've had one for years for my lappie and its survived some pretty rough treatment getting bounced around oilfields the world over.

"There is no bubble of protection." There is not a car on the market that is designed to survive an impact at 120mph, or 2 cars colliding head on at 60 mph respective. Your bubble of protection is psychological. "If theirs a malfunctionin a shoot the only thing protecting you from the ground is your own ass" Don't lecture us on skydiving safety, you basically don't know what you are talking about. I mean that in the nicest possible way.
