Obama's science tzar: JOHN HOLDREN "Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock. Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society. Toward a Planetary Regime ... Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market. The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits. " From Holden's book ECOSCIENCE. Hitler has nothing on this guy. Strange old world isn't it? http://en.wikipedia....ki/John_Holdren

There There's two lists: Hit and run and hit and bum.

"It's not only that the very rich have colossal wealth, they also overwhelmingly monopolise it. The richest 1% of the population own a quarter of total UK wealth, and the richest half control no less than 94% of total wealth. Ownership of land is even more skewed: 69% of it is owned by 0.3% of the population." Took be my surprise that wealth in the UK was that badly skewed. Need to look at transaction taxes for the stockmarket and banks. I'd go for 1.75% on every transaction. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/may/31/how-to-kickstart-uk-economy

Modern warfare is basically for profit.

Depends if there is Zinc in it iirc.

People in this thread would shit their pants if they were dropped in a war zone for 5 min and be crying for their mams. I blame violent games.

Looking forward to having a good look at Hulk next term.

Krugman is pretty clever and I agree with him on some things (apart from the fact that the base model needs changing). The private sector isn't growing, infact it's now syphoning money in many different ways away from the Govt pot (tax evasion, subsidies and so on..)..The permanent growth model is broken and that is primarily because the private sector has moved to low wage environments and discarded their responsabilities in the home market, thus creating umemployment amongst their primary customers...The workers...The bridge the state has built (creating jobs) and lending and quantative easing (lending banks) is only a temporary measure. ( I would tax anything made outside the EU at 12% import duty and put that into the Govt pot and reduce VAT to 7.5% across the board). 2nd homes and landlords with property chains should be taxed into oblivion (rental income taxed at 60%) Within a few years the vultures will decamp and affordable housing will return. All Nato wars should be billed to the EU or we're not interested (stop wasting money and lives on other peoples wars). If BP want a new pipeline or annex new fields let them raise and army and fight for it. Remove corporation tax and comapany taxes completely on companies with a turnover of less than £1m (for the first 3 years) and give tax credits to companies employing people in the UK. Docklands and parts of Wales should be designated free trade zones open to all across Europe carrying grants and reduced tax environments. The idea of responsible capitalism is a chimera. We are at war with the banks and markets and make no mistake that they will lose. It will start this year with Spain and it is going to be bloody. The Spanish don't fuck about when they get angry. The workers haven't quite caught up with the new 'moral environment' but they will. Let the next big greedy fraudulant bank fail and jail the directors. Let's get real.

Good post.

FSG themselves will be looking to get out within a couple of seasons. They can't make money from Liv unless they get in the top 4 and currently that is improbable for the forseable future.

Austerity doctrine is to protect the rich and their money.

Highest living and travel costs in Europe.

Word.

Buffeted by a lack of suspense, threadbare characters, and a very poor script, the stunning visuals, gloopy madness, and sterling Fassbenderiness can’t prevent Prometheus feeling like Alien’s poor relation. " Empire Magazine. Looks like 'Lost' bloke has fucked up.

Thought it was tedious.

Young Assanage??

Get rid.

Will go to Lolpool.

I'll have to dl it. Not out here till Aug ffs!!

I'm not sure that it will be easy to get Liv to play the Rodgers way. Expectations are of such a delusional level, there really is no time for transition and building of a new playing identity. Takes time. I reckons he has about 6 months in which he has to stay in the top6 to buy time.

The secret is that the elite believe they are attaining godhood and are destined for the stars. Their ancient and occultic views are reflected in the dark themes of Prometheus, the very name of which hints at the quest for eternity and power among a group who think a divine right bestowed by a higher intelligence gives creedence to their meddling with the affairs of common man.

Herbal licoqurice powder is mega for the stomach and liver btw.

It's deffo set in the alien universe, but with a new storyline grafted on which will be added to by the follow up. Prometheus is deffo the more mystic version of the overall mythology.
