Thats what they call me I come up with some cracking ideas / business plans but am shite at turning them into reality! Thats the problem when your "creative". (special) Tell us one of your business ideas.

Funny you should mention that. Just read an interesting article... Presidential assassinations of U.S. citizens Barack Obama, like George Bush before him, has claimed the authority to order American citizens murdered based solely on the unverified, uncharged, unchecked claim that they are associated with Terrorism and pose "a continuing and imminent threat to U.S. persons and interests." They're entitled to no charges, no trial, no ability to contest the accusations. Amazingly, the Bush administration's policy of merely imprisoning foreign nationals (along with a couple of American citizens) without charges -- based solely on the President's claim that they were Terrorists -- produced intense controversy for years. That, one will recall, was a grave assault on the Constitution. Shouldn't Obama's policy of ordering American citizens assassinated without any due process or checks of any kind -- not imprisoned, but killed -- produce at least as much controversy? ... More critically still, the Obama administration -- like the Bush administration before it -- defines the "battlefield" as the entire world. So the President claims the power to order U.S. citizens killed anywhere in the world, while engaged even in the most benign activities carried out far away from any actual battlefield, based solely on his say-so and with no judicial oversight or other checks. That's quite a power for an American President to claim for himself. I think they will progressively redifine what a terrorist is till it can become a catchall for just about any anti-Govt activity, that is the goal. Just try demonstrating outside Parliament and see what happens.

Scientist have been wrong about almost everything since day one. Aye, we know. That rocket never got anyone to the moon. It was a Roger Corman production. The rocket was built by Germans during wartime. Litte to do with science more to do with survival.

You see all the anti-terrorism laws have been put in place not to protect us from Islam and whatnot but to protect our Govt and the intellectual elite from us. You can see in the States how Homeland security is being rolled out, it ain't nowt to do with Arabs it's to be used against Americans. FACT.

Nearly everyday I look at those beaches in Kerela where I can live for a pound a day. In abject poverty apparently though.... Beachhouse about 10k Good local fresh food (especially fish). Good weather. English widely spoken Cheap beer Chripy locals.

Yes. You know it's my pet subject.

Has to, they have the guns As I've always said bro. It will also happen in the States cause there is a fracture between the federal and the state Govt. I'm pretty sure in the future after the 2nd American revolution it will become two countries.

Very succinctly put mate. 1.The starting point of the new world must be an end to war. The West comibined are burning a billion a week in Afg and Iraq and this brings no benefit to the people only to multinationals who have a stake in the region. 2. Don't legislate against banks find ways to tax the transactions at source. 3. Rewrard small wealth generators (the kind of wealth that stays in the community).

People (greed) are to blame? I've fed a cat and eaten Ice Cream and i don't think I'm greedy. The poorest people in britain live like kings compared to other places though. £8,800 per household is over £24 a day. I'm sure I read that the WHO classify povery as surviving on $1 a day or less. Of course, our wealth and 'their' suffering is to a large extent built on our subjugation of 'them' historically. I can't imagine anyone winning the next election running on a platform of debt relief for poor nations, especially in the current economic climate, no matter how much Bono tries to push it up the agenda. It's in the news today that Afghanistan are getting $1.6Bn debt relief....but Haiti aren't, just another $100million loan to perpetuate the cycle of poverty. It's only demons like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela who'll give Haiti a chance... http://www.etaiwannews.com/etn/news_conten...p;lang=eng_news I've not seen it reported on the BBC yet like. I don't think as it is this system will be able to correct itself and I don't really think that those who benefit the greatest want to. It will have to go down a couple of more notches before anything happens. But the revoulution is coming and it will happen in America. Obama is a holding position for those who understand this, if he fails it is going to go off big time.

The moving of wealth into smaller and smaller hands is the only constant thread that runs through capitalism. If you look at the big pic it's why Kraft are buying Cadbury, the increase in size of multinationals and their ability to build greater monopolies (efficencies of scale or summat) is something that is hard to legislate against. The pie from which govt re-distribute wealth gets smaller as money becomes more fluid around global economies. Value has been transferred from those who create it (all workers) to fiancial instruments and core assets (that wealth never comes back). George Soros reckons that the greatest emergency of world capitlalism is in the world we are living in now where mechanism of getting money to the periphery (emerging markets/the poor/ small business) is at its weakest. Capital that chases constant profit (sometimes double digit) year upon year cannot be regulated by some moral mechanism and infact legislation for the anti-dote must be agreed across borders for it to work...That might never happen.

I take your point to an extent but poverty doesn't exactly help the other things you mention either. It doesnt, I just find it bollox when the assumption is made that the banker has a better quality of life than the part time trolley collector at asda. While it varies at both ends of the scale top earners can quite naturally be totally driven workaholics and so caught up in the business world that their personal life suffers. Also their lifestyles are usually full of work related stress which is less common in the low wage earners who can quite easily turn off when the day ends. Isn't there loads of data around that top earners burn out at 40 or suffer life changing health issues? I think the idea is to close the gap a little in the sense that the poorest should have access to the basics and oppurtunities.

This is the kind of thing society as a whole is up against. Davos 2010: Barclays' Bob Diamond attacks Obama's banking plans Speaking on the opening day of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Diamond said the growth in 'large, integrated, universal banks' had been a response to market forces Bob Diamond Barclays head Bob Diamond has warned that Obama's banking reforms will stifle global trade. Photograph: Sarah Lee/guardian.co.uk Barclays' president, Bob Diamond, warned today that Barack Obama's plans to limit the size of banks would hit jobs, growth and global trade. Speaking on the opening day of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Diamond said the growth in "large, integrated, universal banks" had been a response to market forces in the post-communist world. "They [the big banks] fulfilled an important function in helping governments and corporates to transfer risk, particularly across borders," Diamond added. "Did banks get big because they wanted to or were they following their clients, their customers and the markets? Was it for an economic purpose?" Finding a way of preventing a re-run of the 2007 financial crisis is a key theme of this year's Davos forum and has been given added impetus by last week's White House announcement that the US would put restrictions on the size and the activities of Wall Street banks.

People (greed) are to blame? I alaways blame the people. It's just too easy to blame the elite. The problem is there is a threshold of how bad things can get before people do anything and in most western countries we're miles off it.

I blame those pets for nearly all ills in society from global warming to selfish behaviour.

Carling is the worst lager I've ever had. To think at one time it was by far and away the main lager in pubs (mid 90s), and by far Britain's best selling beer. It got to the stage I was literally sick of it, I would throw up after a mouthful it was that awful. Aye, the draught stuff is even worse than the cans. I've noticed a bit of a seed change in pubs of late though with a lot more making an effort to sell more than just the generic crap. Probably because people have stopped going as much so they're having to up their game. I'd like to think so anyway. Lot of places do Star and Wheatbeers on tap now. Strange experience on Sat at a Sam Smiths pub, they make all the alcohol, from the beer to the spirits...The wheat beer was nearly as good as anything in Germany.

Cost too much to play the fucker.

If we are moving into the pattern then there will be another major earthquake this year...:Probs Hawaii area or Japan. Hope not obviously. Wow! Mystic Meg!!!!!!!! There are over 2000 Richter 5 earthquakes a year Parky and thousands of smaller ones - luckily few of them occur near large cities And?

See Sammy you're one of the few guys who knows what the fuck they are talking about on here. Bearing that in mind this lad is a step in the right direction imo.

Szechuan is the baby.

I recklon we've only paid a million for him. Isn't it 3mil including wages over the length of his contract? He's valued at 600k on FM.

he's blatantly off to a premier league club According to Palace fans no Premier League club has came in for him. The only club who have made a firm bid so far are Forest. SNAP HIM UP ASHER!!!!!!!!!

Gazza made his away debut iirc.

I got a massive tube of toothpast through last flight back from Deutschland. Didn't even know it was in there....They kept the Zippo cunts.
