Kaglaaz How'ler had this to say about Pirotess:
Was just going to ask about you. Wasn't sure if you were a Londoner or not. Mort isn't I know that. Now I need to find out about a friend of mine who is in the Air Force and is in the London area. He's married to a girl from there...
Nah, about 110 miles out of London, i'm just waiting to hear from my friends. They should be alright though, most of them don't get out of bed until 12.
Oh, Niklas I sent you a text while I was on my way back to Birmingham, I guess it'll come through when the networks clear up. I know you're not terribly close to central London but I was checking up on everyone.
Shite, can't find it. Could have sworn I had it with me earlier.. Oh well. If I don't answer, that's why. Niklas fucked around with this message on 07-07-2005 at 12:20 PM.
almost a quarter of the population is muslim! if not more......
It's times like this that almost justifies the "let's turn the Middle East into a glass lake" mentality.
I said ALMOST.. so don't get your panties in a knot! 
I wish we had a Dr. Who type scientist that could create a love ray, that could be shot from a satellite.
speaking of futureistic weapons anyone try the new frangible bullets?

Now i ask you,what in .... name would a muslim have against Holland?almost a quarter of the population is muslim! if not more......
Always knew you shouldn't trust any religious fanatic....
I'm pretty sure that muslims of the 'blow people up'-variety don't consider those who just live day to day in Dutch society real muslims, also being a socially progressive nation probably somewhat lowers your standing with fanatics whose sense of morality is stuck in the middle ages.

Whats that tom clancy book about the IRA? Movie had harrison ford i think?
Patriot Games
And casting Harrison Ford (in his 60s) to play a character described by the author as being in his mid 30s is just fricking stupid... but apparently Alec Baldwin wanted an extra $5 million over what he got for "Hunt for Red October" and Harrison was the ame price, so they went for the 'bigger' star...

And did a better job....IMHO

Patriot Games released is 1992, Ford was born in 1942.
A 50 year old playing a 35 year old isn't much of a stretch in the theatre. We've got 30 year olds playing highschoolers all the time.
Of course the papers went to press hours before this actually happened, so it's unbelievably surreal that whilst the tabloids show pictures of celebration and smiling faces on winning the bid for the olympics the very same city was in a standstill that day.

Yeah, I thought so too. Very weird.

And then there's that whole Alec Baldwin is pathetic, while Harrison Ford is believeable thing. 
From what I hear, the British Government, and not the people, support the US and our "War on Terrorism". How do you think this will change the British Public Opinion on America's "War on Terrorism"? What changes are you seeing.

I don't foresee much change. Terrorists = bad but invading Iraq also = bad. Opinion is pretty divided as it is everywhere though. Having said that, we had the biggest actual anti-war protest in central London. Although it is obviously hard to count, it was between 750,000 and 2 million actual protesters.
Many people choose to forget this incident. Niklas fucked around with this message on 07-08-2005 at 12:07 AM.
It really is a Catch 22. You have to be popular to get Elected. However you often have to do very unpopular things for the betterment of the county.

Yeah, I was going to type out an answer but Niklas pretty much said it all. I was at the Birmingham protests actually.

Exactly. So many people see it as one and the same though.
And Azizza, I agree with you there but it is a huge grey area. No one situation is the same as another when it comes to very large decisions such as that one.
