Note to Jimmy Plage: with today's better copyright laws, taking that much specifi-
cally of someone else's song (it's like Led Zep were doing an impression of Wil-
liamson's cover of a Dixon tune before and after their jam) isn't an homage till
you put proper credit on and send (big Led Zep) royalty money. Before that, it's
like someone stealing your car and the robber calling it an homage to how much
they liked your taste in cars.

Corruption in China
by fulltimestudent in
1. social
2. current
consider this scenario:.

a young lawyer is elected mayor of the city and promises to rid it of the corruption it's famous for.

the problem is that most of the corruption he's vowed to eliminate is caused by the crooked political machine that helped elect him.. .

wouldn't it be great to see the big 8, wel the big 8 in the jw world not the national leaders big 8, ehem.. if they would all grow a beard for the next business meeting in october, where the nu-lite(r) is that beards are ok for men.. could someone photoshop one of the prevalent new smiley photos of the gb and put a few weeks of whisker growth on them?.

just wondering what it would look like.

not duck dynasty length, perhaps, but nicely trimmed full beards, or maybe goatees.. what do you think it would look like?
