Actually, I've been hearing serious rumblings of Warren Beatty. If he runs on the Bulworth platform he could actually take Arnie. Whether or not he could actually govern is another question. But wouldn't we all love to see the 70-year-old-white-hip-hop candidate?


That would be nice to see, Bullworth versus T-1000.

Now THAT is the cruel irony of God. Like Beethoven who has gone deaf, or a local triple jump gold medalist who eventually lost his legs.

If you send money to another country, you pay a small fee or tax to the bank, which will repass that money to the government. Also, you gotta keep track of the money that comes in or out, and PayPall dosen't offer an official, legal way to do it. One could send money to a foreign country keeping no legal tracks and paying no taxes. For that reason, it is illegal to buy stuff from another country through paypall or such unnofficial method (credit cards are ok). It is illegal also to send money through the mail, I have sent coins before but I was kinda nervous the post office would find out (they didn't).

Also, I don't trust PayPall. I will never transfer funds or give information about my bank account to an organization not fully stablished in my country. I only use credit cards for foreign money transfers.

I'll send you something. Please e-mail me at my username at yahoo dot com (don't PM me I never log in).

Yes, but then your bleeding-heart, prisoners' rights advocates will claim that you're dehumanizing him. *rolls eyes*


Well, come on, you were going to kill that man! Now, there are only 2 reasons to kill someone for a crime:

* Because he is a total menace to society and should be totally excluded from it.

* So it will scare people thinking of doing such crimes.

If you make him work as a slave as opposed to KILLING him, that will make both points valid. Besides, any human rights advocate should belive that killing is worse than being put to work. Also, don't they know that there are still slave labor over the world?

Bizarre. But... If Austria denies his citizenship, he could change nationality and become the president! Just like Hitler did!


Nope. As U.S. law currently stands, a President can only be a person born in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Nobody born outside the U.S., including those who have rescinded their citizenship or had their citizenship rescinded by their native country, can be president of the U.S.

'Tis the law. Governors are a different thing. Just need to have a certain time period of legal citizenship.

Yeah yEah, we know, but I can totally see an amendment happening.

You could always put the gun under your chin.


The best way is to fill up your mouth with water and put the gun under the chin, so the bullet won't "echoe" out in your mouth, going straight to the brain. Never point the gun to your ear, as this could happen.

When will the recording industry ever learn?

A Radiohead comunity website called Green Plastic some time ago had a cease and desist from EMI because their site had all their lyrics - and they claimed it would hurt the sales of their song book or something. They refused to let the lyrics go, even though they did had it offline for a while.

And the result? Radiohead authorized them to get it back, and they are now recording on their own, broke up with EMI. Their next album will be absolutely indie, which should be nice.

"Thank you, thank you, it's always great to be here at Mos Eisley... We are now promoting our new CD now, which is under an indie label, we sort of burned ourselves and we'll be selling it outside after this gig, so uh... right now we're gonna play one of the songs featured on it... It has a bit of a more jazzy feel into it, we've been experimenting with a new sound lately, so, uh, hope you like it.... Okay... In one, two, one two three..."

* Playing the exact same song as before *
