There's pretty much no question that the last election was won by Bush's family and aides doing things that were questionable, thing that everyone misses is that Gore lost because he had no charisma and came across as being as animated as a plank. The guy had no drive and despite hating Bush's politics you have to hand it to him for having the single minded determination to do what he believes is right.

Bush will lose this election, by a long way. Too many people in the USA are seeing Bush for what he truly is - the mouthpiece of big business and financial interest. His tax cuts have only benefitted those with alot of money already and the economy has gone from having record excess to having a record defecit. He's not made the USA safe, rather he has turned the whole nation into paranoid wrecks, scared of the slightest threat and prepared to surrender their democratic rights to the government who knows what's best (how much like the JW's does that sound to you?). I do not think Bush lied about the evidence for war with Iraq, rather I think he misrepresented the evidence that existed and Yeru, for your information the only intel they had was from a single British source which was highly questionable. That it was proved to be wrong was not exactly surprising when you consider Bush's desperate desire to circumvent the effective weapons inspections that were being carried out by the UN. I was completely against the war from day one, partly because friends of mine were out there and partly because it was obvious what would happen - iraq would become a hotbed of terrorism and a clarion call for terrorists. People were oppressed by Saddam but that was none of our business, to say it was is to say that we should invade Saudi Arabia next because of their human rights record and that we should be sending the Marines to half the countries in the world to tell them how they should run their countries - although that wouldn't be such good business for our arms companies would it?

The war will be a huge issue in this election but he is being seen for the dummy he is, he has no ability to think on the fly and has regularly been shown to be frighteningly ignorant of world affairs and the 'big picture'. I would like to see him on a televised debate with Kerry, the guy would wipe the floor with him. This will be a dirty campaign because Bush will not give up power easily, neither will the special interest groups bankrolling him, he already has an enormous campaign chest and too many people believe the crap they see on adverts.

Come November we shall see who is in control, fortunately I do not have to live with the possibility of being ruled by Bush, even by proxy as I will be in Australia

AC/DC is the electrical term and is just slang for swinging both ways. The covers of all AC/DC albums have large electric bolts between the letters.

I cannot remember the smurfs being banned, my parents got me the stuffed toys and the little characters were bought from a national petrol chain as they had them as a promotional thing. What really made me laugh was the amount of hysteria over 'heavy metal' music when I was in my teens, listening to Iron Maiden has obviously turned me into a baby eating satanist.

At the end of the day it is reflective of the culture of fear within the witnesses. The GB are afraid that people will turn away or that they will be found out as bogus, the r&f are all afraid that they will either die at armagheddon or else fall foul of one of the gb's arbitrary edicts and become df'd and shunned. Sad really that they spend so much effort looking for things to ban rather than spending the effort showing love not intolerance.

Posting on Linux - Mandrake

i have decided to make the jump form windows xp over into the open source world and am giving mandrake linux a try.

so far so good.

things seem alot sharper and faster than they did in xp.

I'm running a dual boot with WinXP and Mandrake Linux - version 9 I think.

You are probably reading this using Mozilla or Opera, which means you are going to have problems. Some features of this BB don't work in Netscape cored browsers. Personally i cannot use the chat function at home and have issues posting paragraphs. I think it's because the php is optimised for Microsoft's IE and plays up otherwise. Apart from a few small niggles I like using mandrake. The install was easy and apart from not having native drivers for my scanner/printer/fax machine I have had no problems. The only reason i am still running XP is that all my games are windows based, although I initially installed Linux purely to have a clean development platform for some C/C++ hacking I needed to do.

Personally I think it is worth having the both running side by side so you don't have to fart around when you find a problem.

What's your status....relationship wise?

by Maverick in

one of the down sides of the web is not knowing the various posters status; married, involved, looking, and lost...suspect a lot of those here!

The Clarkson stunt was fabulous, it's true - whenever you see terrorists they are always in a flatbed Toyota

I looked at emigrating to Canada a couple of years ago and unfortunately it's become pretty difficult. I'm just under the number of points needed :-( so I'm going to Australia instead. Depending on what skills you have, and if you have family there you could be sorted - I only visited Quebec, Montreal and Toronto and fell in love with the place as it is a great combination of beautiful scenery and funky cities.
