strike9 sucks.
it's always slow and frequently doesn't work at all.
plus it gave me a picture of a naked male in its random picture selection at the side.. all very frustrating, especially as i'm trying to upload a scan of iraq's network of nuclear bombs hidden under american cities (just joking echelon-people).

Are there any better picture hosting sites?

I don't think there will be a mass exodus in Canada. But I have always liked Hawkaw's term: "inoculating" the general public against the Watchtower. These programmes will have a cumulative effect of doing just that. At a certain point, as with the Catholics, there will be a mental linkage in the minds of the general public: Jehovah's Witnesses = paedophile coverup. At that point, (and this may be already happening) the balance will shift. The Watchtower will no longer be able to just batten down the hatches and hope to ride out the storm. They will have to take action to do something to remove that image, or suffer a long-term decline as older members die off without being replaced by new members.
There are other more immediate consequences of the programme I'm hoping for, but I really have no idea of the probability of them happening, so I'll shutup!

it seems clear that the gb are hurting.
recent media attacks over pedophilia, combined with revelations of hypocrisy over the un and even personal accusations against members of the gb themselves has meant that those at the top of the ivory tower are feeling more vulnerable than ever before.
the law is increasingly being used to bring these monsters to book.. .
They haven't bloody well felt anything yet, the bastards.

Hello Happy Man:
There is no verdict as yet in the Vicky Boer case. Ontario has an extremely busy judicial system, so these things often take a long time.
As soon as we know a verdict or when a verdict is to be given, there'll be a post on the board.

i was just reading a posting blasting president bush for being rich, and therefore not looking out for the average american.
that is another issue, not for this thread.. my question is this: what do you consider rich?
how much money?
Rich is half a dozen return air tickets to anywhere in the World per year, and more importantly, the spare time to use them.
