The coronors inquest into princess Di's murder may become interesting to follow: The senior member of the Royal family who Princess Diana believed was plotting to kill her in a car crash has been named. It is hoped the inquests could eventually shed light on the flurry of conspiracy theories surroun...

Let me point out that not all countries citizens are subject to this security measure. I think there are 28 nations whose visitors to this country are excluded from fingerprinting and photo's. Of course the 28 nations are lilly white and by fiat their citizens are "safe". http://www.descen...

I didn't even mind him filching freely from other fantasy series' to create atmosphere (for example, anyone read Sword of Truth? look at sleeping gandalf, the eyes open bit is, IIRC, not mentioned in LotR ever). I disagree. If memory serves, there was a passage where Gandalf sleeps and someone expla...

As I understand it, this security precaution will become the norm. All countries will adopt this method to control who comes and goes in their respective countrie. so pretty soon FC, you won't be able to travel to any country http://www.descentbb.net/ubb/wink.gif Oh and Birdy...just what freedom in ...

I already had "Games" as default. Got into PXO just fine today so I think Robo had the correct answer in this instance.

"Investigators used a section of the Patriot Act to get subpoenas for financial documents, " So the Feds still have to go to a judge to get a subpoena. This is not like black clad sturmtroopers kicked in the door and ransacked the place just 'cause the guy was jewish. I won't be loosing an...

Or conversley duhq, imagine the French asking for our aide when a terrorist attack occurs against them (say from Morocco) and they want our help to go clear the bad guys out.

When I log in and get to the game screen, and then click on a game I get kicked back to the main Descent screen where you pick multiplayer or choose load game for single player. Is this somethiong to do with PXO? When I am in the PXO game screen I can see players are entering and leaving games.

Look what happened in the late 70s when OPEC became momentarily united in its opposition to the US. We got raped and a Democratic president subsequently was voted out of office because of it. We had temporarily lost control of our own destiny. That is the position our *friends* would like to see us ...

Yeah, Jocko is very good at giving a kid a hand when there is a job to do. Come to think of it he looks a bit like a manniquin robot. Never mind...my minds askew.

There-in lies the problem. The UN has no leader. Hoki-doki Koki is nothing more than a spokesman and does not have a mandate to make a decision. The giant committee that is the UN does not have a very good track record when it comes to getting a real problem solved. Yeah, they are good at sending fo...

Well we have all seen how impetuous Bush is, what with charging in and offing the Taliban and kicking the Iraqi's ass.

What Lothar said. I expected the return to The Shire would not be depicted (in the movie) as Samwise was not given the vial of special soil by the the Lady of the Woods as a parting gift upon leaving Loth Lorien. This soil helps restore The Shire upon the hobbits return. And Birdy, I too vote you sh...

I think Mobi got it mostly right. The human factor will probably make all the difference in a successful landing attempt. To take Mobi's plan a step further, I think pre-caching supplies and equipment will be a requirement. The Red/Blue/Green Mars book series laid this out fairly well at the start. ...

It's landed and now the brits are waiting for a signal all is well.

Actually, I think a portion of keans finger pointing involve knowledge that planes would be used for terrorist acts. This was ascertained a number of years ago when, I think, a Phillipine insurgent was captured and explained in detail how this would happen. Of course that was back when "The Wei...

While I am one to gleefully send Saddam to his demise, there is a problem with that. The day he dies...he becomes a martyr.

Listening to NPR's Daniel Schorrer(sp), he must think we are a nation of plaster's/autobody repairmen and tire fixers. His view point is that somehow we as americans should seek to "patch up" our relations with european nations (read France and Germany) so that they may come onboard into t...

Thanks Jeff, the way you put it makes christianity a bit more palatable. woodchip, what you made wasn't a theological point, it was a philosophical point from a broader theological context that you were trying to wedge into the context of this thread.

So, why do we still try to reach these people if they can be saved without hearing the message? Well, first of all, to increase their chances, and second of all, because God is interested in more than just saving people -- He is interested in creating mature disciples.

"The man was beaten to death, literally. Even when he was subdued they were still swatting at him."

Wrong Goob! He wasn't subdued as Fat Man would not comply to put his hands behind his back. Eventually it took 6 cops to "subdue" him. Subdued in law enforcement mean cuffed.

By now most of you have heard about the cops beating a 400 pound black man, where-upon he died. So just another police brutality case as the black community would lead you to believe? As NPR reported there was only a scuffle resulting in the police pulling their billies and putting the smack down on...
