I love zep, but that is one average live album. How The West Was Won is awesome and is knocks it into a tin hat. Only took 20 or 30 years.

Genuine question for you LM. How did they flout? Weren't they fully co-operating with weapons inspectors who'd found nothing and wanted more time which Georgey Bush wouldn't give them.

Absoloutley. I said earlier in the thread how that gung-ho, rock music, shades on, top off approach disgusts me. But it's a culture that is cultivated because such bravado is required when basically good men are required to kill anyone. I suspect most of the soldiers out there are good men who will suffer years of pain if they killed anyone, let alone a defenceless child. Those in charge have a responsibility to limit that, and when they allow such bravado to get out of hand they let down everyone.

I wouldn't be in that position. But as the second link I provided shows, almost 70% of people will go as far as killing a total stranger they can hear screaming, if they have someone in authority allowing it. You can say you wouldn't, but these are famous experiments with much stock placed in them. I condone nothing. But the only action I can't understand is that of ranking officers unable or unwilling to calm their soldiers down and give them orders to suit the situation. All it takes is "cease fire!".

Where does he get his frozens? Does he go to uni and the shops and that? Maybe he just thinks you're all arseholes?

Because of this and this. The peer pressure within a squadron will be immense. It's the ranking officers job to set the boundaries of what's acceptable.

I used to love them. Never failed, even when I turned up at the wrong one. Had one a while back that was scary though. Ideas above my station. It was worse than The Apprentice. Put me off applying for anything ever again.

Damn your savvy. I was hoping to whip up a panic.

Flatmate of my dreams tbh

However they work, looks like the end is nigh... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5036268.stm So enjoy it while you can.

Both your links (although sad) are an inevitable result of war. We'll never know (having made the decision to invade) how many of those deaths were avoidable.

It's not like LM or GF are advocating that all iraqi 2 year olds are rounded up and shot. They don't condone it (do you?) and have said it's very unfortunate. Someone in that situation was incapable though, and they shouldn’t be allowed to repeat their mistakes. If LM or GF are suggesting there should be no investigation or disciplinary then I can't defend that. From the limited information we have, I think it wouldn't be right for the particular soldiers to go on trial for homicide. The marines are trained as killers. They aren't encouraged to think for themselves and do what's right, they're encouraged to follow orders and to kill. It’s not right to kill anyone, irrespective of age. If any of the 3 ranking officers had insisted they cease fire, the carnage wouldn't have occurred. They are the ones who should be held fully responsible. 143618[/snapback] I'm confused. Are people reading the same article as me? And the related articles on the same site (BBC) which suggest very strongly marines are engaging in revenge attacks against civilians? How is the deliberate massacre of civilians by the US army justified but not by Hussein, when it is called genocide? Can you not see how this hypocracy is going to be counterproductive and lead to more deaths, on both sides? Well I'm sure you can but not so sure about Leazes tbh. 143621[/snapback] I'm reading the BBC article Alex linked to that is the topic of the thread. If you want to move onto others, a link would be handy. Who's justifying anything?

I was shocked my mate just bought these... http://www.audiovisiononline.co.uk/erol.ht...K%257CcountryGB EDIT: that link seems to be a list, but it's the GRADO RS1 for £642 The difference is canny amazing like. You can pick out every instrument and locate every distinct instrument in a different position in the soundstage. It puts me off, hearing the sound of every piano key being pressed (not the note, the thud of the thumb on key) or every movement of fingers over the string. Some of the people on this forum are mad.... http://www.head-fi.org/ You get daft stuff like people with a £500 pair of headphones specifically for listening to Tool, and they must have 300 hours of white noise played through them to optimise the output.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzSYDWsuz9g...urne%20x-factor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=447rvoqHlA8...x-factor%20loos I find it a ironic that Sharon Osbourne (who shagged the guitarist in her blokes band all over) can see fit to have a go at someone for their infidelity. Fucking slag needs to pipe down and take a look at herself tbh. EDIT: In fact, Loos was a free agent at the time, so not half as bad as that crone.

I've got Lea in the Sweepstake at work 143479[/snapback] All the more reason to get the slimy bastard Sezer out then ...get texting 143480[/snapback] The day I text a vote to Big brother will be the day I bludgeon my own face to a pulp with a 3 pronged plug.

You're nowt special tbh, someone gets banned every day and a half* *figures taken from the national office of statistics based on 58 people being banned from N-O in the last 90 days.

Sweating, heart rate soaring, palpitations, nausea, just generally shitting myself, especially on take off. I've flown so much recently I'm really not bothered any more. Also sussed out alcohol and benzos DON'T help. 143404[/snapback] I get that on the Metro

Abuse should always take presedence over topic subject tbh.

having recently discovered a person that had been dead for 5 days, shut up in a heated room with no windows open, i can tell you that all that happens way before 13 months 143340[/snapback] The macabre to one side momentarily....how can you tell that if they'd been dead 5 years? That doesnt make sense tbh. As usual I'm the ONLY one to spot the defective logic and tread that extra inquisitive yard 143374[/snapback] The only one that can't read tbh.

Ta Nowt worse than loads of completey different fonts is there? I will be advising him that it looks like a nanna's bedroom and wants to look more like a Poggenpohl kitchen.
