I dunno man, I think you're being kind of a hardass here. Not everyone on here is interested in only degenerate reports. I think hearing about Lou's travels is an interesting read and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Besides, hearing about how a book is set up and what their facility is like and all that shit gives us an insight into what kind of business they're runnin over there which is good to know if you're going to be giving them money.

It was good about 20 years ago. The problem is that when Pepsi bought them and started franchising them back in the mid 80s they changed the recipe so that it was cheaper to make. Instead of 11 secret herbs and spices, it became only 2: Pepper for the little black flecs in the batter, and MSG. And MSG is nasty shiznit. Which explains people complaining about feeling like shit after eating it. Plus the standards for changing the oil in the fryer are waaaaay down. Since Yum brands acquired KFC in 2002 (they also own Pizza Hut, and A&W, Long John Silver's, Taco Bell) it's gotten even worse.
I hate how their f'n delivery service is through a damn call center based out of who knows where. When I call up to order some food, all I should have to say is what I want, where it's going and how I'm going to pay. With these bastards, you have to answer a million questions about what damn intersection your closest to, and wait on hold for 10 minutes only to find out that your address isn't included in their delivery grid. Fuck that.

In betting, a "round robin" refers to a series of three or more teams in two-team parlays.
In regular sports vernacular, it refers to a tournament where every team plays every other team involved.

Both times he was accused, it was settled out of court. I can't speak for anyone else, but if someone molested my kid, I'd be damned if I'd let that pedophile buy their way out of it. I'd want to see them in jail or dead.
So both times the parents involved got exactly what they were looking for...mulah and lots of it.
Did he have an unhealthy fascination with children? Most certainly. And it got him into a position where he could be taken advantage of. Which is probably why he just died from addiction to prescription meds. The dude was a headcase...from being tarred and feathered for the last decade or more.
But definitely not a child molester. Pedophiles don't pick and choose. Lots of children were exposed to Jackson at his Neverland Ranch. Only the parents of 2 ever said tickity boo.
Presumed innocent until proven guilty.
OJ ended up where he belonged.

I think it was a good time for that Dillenger movie with Johnny Depp to come out. Someone is trying to tell us something...
Let's rob banks to end our economic woes!!!
And then piss it all away betting.

But I would say that it is funny what some people think they know from their CNN education about Israel/Palestine, Muslims/Terrorists, War/Peace, Nukes, Politics, etc. Nothing pisses me off more than an armchair general who is ready to deal out death, punishment and justice based on what he just heard Rusch Limbaugh or Jack Van Impe say on the radio or television.

I guess that would make sense as to why Israel is so frightened of Iran obtaining Nukes, they are neighbors.
What about this though..
If a country holds a Nuke to Isreal's head, would US submit to their demands? or would US start a battle?
Well that's a complicated question. Mainly because there are a lot of variables. First you have to look at US foreign policy. Obama is busy apologizing his ass off right now for the way the US has paraded around for the last 8 years "spreading democracy". In his speech from Al Azhar University in Cairo, though, he did state the truth: He said that Israel has a right to exist, and indeed they do. Never mind that the country was founded by a bullshit UN resolution that took land from the Palestinians, only because America and the UK didn't want the European person scrambling to get out of Europe. That and Theo Hertzl inventing Zionism to give all the displaced person a home land. Yeah yeah, it's the promised land and all that. Moses brought the slaves there. But since the Babylonians and the Persians broke their temple and occupied Judea thousands of years ago any person either up and left or had to co-exist with Arabs, Persians and Ottoman Turks, etc. But anyway, after all the bullshit in 1948 and all the shit with Lebanon in the 60s and 70s and Isreal occupying Syria's Golan Heights yada yada yada...you have a lot of people pissed off at Israel for being a bully. Hence the hostility. But I look at it like this: North America was habitated by the natives before the Europeans like me and you came and snatched from them and stuck them on reservations and such. So the rule of human co-existence is conquer or be conquered. So they're there, and Obama is right. They aren't going anywhere. However, Obama also said in his speech that Palestinians have a right to a state of their own..and they do. And Netenyahu's offer of a state which Israel can expand their settlements into and control the airspace and military presence is bullshit. Last time I checked being a sovereign state meant having control over those things. So Israel is really good at pouring syrup and shit and tellin' people its pancakes! They're also really good at using excessive force to blow the shit out of people who have no weapons for the most part besides a few rockets that do next to nothing. How many Israeli casualties do you hear about in the news? Maybe 1...at most 2. How many Palestinians are dead? Thousands...how many in Israeli dungeons? Maybe a similar number. So Israel needs to change their ways and start to not be genocidal towards Palestinians or they might actually face the day when someone is holding a nuke to their head. But I digress.... The trouble with the Arab nations is that they are all 1)big talkers and 2)self interested. They all preach solidarity among arab states but at the end of the day they got their fancy sports cars and american luxuries from their oil money and that's all they care about. So governments are not really behind going to war with Israel over there. Besides. Israel has nukes. The US gave them to them. They have their own scientists developing them. One of them was thrown in prison hush hush not to long back for trying to divulge secrets about their nuke power plants. It's also a well know fact in the ME that Israel employs the so-called "Samson option". Anyone who has read the bible knows about old Samson...if he was going down, he was taking the Philistines with him. So he broke the temple pillars and it came crashing down on everyone. As such Israel has a nuke pointed ay every major Arab capital. So that if they get attacked to the point of defeat, they'll blow up every Arab state they can befoure it happens. So, to get closer to answering that question you asked.. If one Arab state wanted to attack Israel, the US and the rest of the UN security council countries and NATO would probably be prepared to go to war. But this is unlikely based on the Samson option and the fact that when Egypt had the 6 Days war with Israel Abdul Nasr called for support because he almost had them fucked and no one helped him. All arab nations fear that. They also fear losing the American oil dollar if the West gets pissed at any uprising against Zion. If they all decided for some reason to band together, I think you'd see US foreign policy go completely left. Because the US cannot stand up to the entire ME. That is why the keep allies like Israel and keep hold of places like Iraq and Afghanistan. So they can mantain control and prevent that banding together. In such a case, Israel would be on their own. Iran is a little different. Because they are good allies with Russia and China. And because if they go to war, most Israel hating Muslims in all the Arab states will declare a Jihad and follow. If the US were to oppose such an action, we'd quite possibly be looking at World War 3. Or as some believe the final battle...i.e. armageddon. Iran is also the most immediate threat to Israel. Because Ahmadinejad has already said he would like to see them wiped off the map and has openly denied the holocaust. And they most certainly do have the capability to put a missile up Tel Aviv's ass. The truth is Israel is scared. So is the US. That's why Obama is trying this seemingly neutral why can't everyone just man up and get along shit. And as for Israel...if Syria/Palestine/Lebanon has something they don't like, Israel bombs the shit out of it. Why? Because these countries have no tanks/planes/missiles, etc. If they did, they'd be using them. Especially considering all the anti-humantarian things Israel does to their civilians. I dont' think any of the 3 countries mention like haveing their lands occupied...so if they could get Israel out I'm sure they would..they can't. But Iran.....they have missiles. And Russian nukes. And they believe that a martyr's death gets them to heaven too. So that's a very dangerous factor. So the long and short of it is that it depends on who is threatening? If its a single Arab state, then the US will back Israel. If it's a coalition of states that are tired of Israel's bullshit..I think you'll see the States try to be more like my country..Canada....they'll try to keep the peace and try to get Israel to back down to avert crisis in the background. But the day is coming where the whole thing is going to boil over. This forum is not long enough to get into this topic.

Now my question is.
If those countries already had Nukes, do you think they would have used them?
If your answer is the same as mine...would that mean Iran is the same as Iraq and Afghanistan?????
Who gives you your information? Nukes? The US went in to Afghanistan after 9/11 because they had intelligence that it was quite probable that the Taliban was sheltering Bin Laden. The Afghans, for the most part, live in caves as someone else stated above. They have no nukes, and if they did it is quite unlikely the they would have the technology behind them to build a method of conveyance. Having things that go boom is one thing. Having the ability to get them to the enemies land is quite another. As for Iraq, the US went there on "faulty" intelligence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction...the more discerning will read "fear mongering and political excuse to engage in neo-colonialism for the acquisition of oil". Especially because it was obvious that Iraq had jack shit. Saddam was found hiding in a spider hole in the desert. Iraq has been ripped apart, civil wars have begun, people have been raped and killed by US soldiers and not a missle capable of anything close to the WMD category has been found. Was Saddam an asshole? Sure. Did he have nukes? Certainly not. Was he funding Al Qaeda or had some link to them? Not that they've provided evidence for. Is Iran a threat? They most certainly are. Do they have nukes? I would bet they do. Because Russia has nukes and Iran and Russia are tight. Plus Israel has already bombed a nuclear power facility in Syria and it was said the parts came from Iran. So I have no doubt. So why all the talk and back and forth bullshit for the last 2 years or more...? Because Iran has nothing pressing that the US government wants? No...I'm sure that there are many useful resources there. Could it be because if you take military action against Iran, you piss off their allies Russia, China, Syria, Hezbollah, etc etc and open and can of worms that's huge as fuck?? I think so.. Let's ask another very, very serious question... Crazy as fuck Fascist dictator Kim Jong Il is sitting over there in North Korea testing rockets and missiles over the Sea of Japan, making weapons grade plutonium, selling weapons...all known facts..What's more than that...they continual make direct threats to show their military might... So here's a country we know that has nukes...and is open about trying to test long range missiles...and has a President that's as crazy as a two-dick dog..yet all they get is the occasional sanction and scolding. Why? 1) They have fuck all. Less than 17% of their land is even arable for growing crops and the people are starving. Hence the weapons selling to make the capital to buy the resources that they lack. 2) Because China and Russia are their allies and attacking them would piss a lot of powerful countries off. 3) They have more than a million men in their army, which means a ground fight is impossible to win. As well, both Pakistan and India have nuclear capability. India just launched their first nuclear submarine. They both fight constantly over the Kashmir region and have threatened each other with mutual destruction multiple times. Being unstable countries, especially Pakistan, who have WMD potentially, I don't see America invading them and spreading democracy and lifting tyranny there....? Because there's jack shit in both place worth anything. And who cares if a bunch of hotheads blow themselves up? So here's your serious question...Is the US really attacking people to stop them from making nukes? The unequivocal resounding proven answer: NO ..Something to think about.... |

It's a bunch of factors. The big one as Crow pointed out is that there just arn't that many good blockbuster games dropping right now. I expect that Modern Warfare 2 will cause a bit of commotion as will several of the other games presented at E3 when they drop.
Then there's the whole economy thing. People just can't afford 60 bucks for a game or an accessory. It's a want not a need.

Well the woman who tells you to call in and order at the end of the commercial does say:
"Be like Vince and SLAP your troubles away!"
Although I think the news story said when the hooker bit his tongue and wouldn't let go he punched in the head.
New product is in order. The Punch Chop.
This one is much better:
Waaaaaay more useful...
