  1. Whoever this anon person is I would advise him not to pursue this former relationship.

     

    There were probably good reasons why you are not currently together and if you do love this woman you should really not have a relationship based on casual sex and dishonesty. That way leads only to hurt for all concerned.

     

    You say that this is the first time you've felt you have fallen in love with another. Either this means you are young or have had bad relationships in the past. I think it possible to find love again in the future.

     

    Examine your feelings before making any drastic decisions.

  2. I can't really recall when I started reading it but it was certainly way back when.

     

    I think it was probably the early 90s and a mate of mine lent me the first couple of dozen issues to read and I was hooked. But I didn't go and buy the latest issue which by then would have been written by Garth Ennis instead as I wanted to read it in order I started to hunt for the rest of Delano's run and then just kept buying back issues of complete story arcs.

     

    First ever issue that I bought that was a current one instead of a back issue was I think #129 and have continued getting it every month since.

  3. No offense to GenGris but don't try Tickle.com the tests there are shit.

     

    For a serious IQ evaluation try the one of the tests here at the High IQ Society.

     

    They are rigorous and standardized and should provide a better indication of your IQ than any other test available online. It's completely free to take the test also unlike many places where they'll let you do a test and then you have to pay for the results.

     

    If everyone here was to take the test then we'd have a standardized base from which to launch the IQ pissing contest that seems to be running here. :D

  4. I have now finished the novel The Traveller by John Twelve Hawks and I'm both a little pissed off and glad I read it.

     

    Pissed off that it appears to only be the first part of a series of novels but glad that there a fellow paranoiac who shares my fears of the erosion of freedoms we are now suffering in this surveillance society we find ourselves living in.

     

    To use his term the virtual panopticon where we must assume we are constantly under the watchful eye of the authorities and act accordingly.

     

    Not a particular great novel but it was certainly enjoyable enough, a decent enough thriller that you'd might read whilst lounging on holiday.

     

    Oh and in case anyone was wondering John Twelve Hawks is not his real name, apparently not even his publisher knows his real name.

  5. After reports of possible electoral fraud in Belarus there now seems to be video evidence of said fraud taking place in one of the polling stations.

    The video was shot secretly by a student on March 19th, 2006 in a school building in Minsk (str. Artilleristov, 16 scool №74). My friend told me that students and soldiers have to elect in advance. I don’t have an accurate translation yet of what is being said in the video but my friend told me that one person at one point asks why there are ballots of candidate A stacked on top of the ballots of candidate B? Another person then yells at the others to get away from the tables. And that they should stop asking questions!
  6. It was a sure thing that this amendment was going to be passed as the administration clearly cannot counter it as they have stated themselves that they didn't plan to have permanent bases in Iraq.

     

    I think it's irrelevant though really as structurely I'm sure there is no difference between a temporary base and a permanent one. So they'll continue to claim that need to refurbish or upgrade their temporray base as they are still needed in Iraq to maintain peace in the region. The bases will be permanent in all but name.

     

    There are still US bases in Saudi Arabia I believe even though they agreed that there wouldn't be. They just built new ones in the middle of nowhere and abandoned the old ones to make it look like they had left even though they hadn't.

  7. I spent my spring breaks as I spent most of my time at university getting drunk and working. In fact that's how I spend all my time now it seems although probably less drinking now I'm getting older. :sad:

  8. That thread continues to deliver -

     

    "You may find it upsetting, but I and many others won't shut up about what Marvel is doing wrong. We represent those who are still buying comics largely out of habit or tradition. We're being alienated by the defeatist, iconoclastic stories being written.

     

     

    Shit they sound like a bunch of lunatics or addicts. Buying out of habit or tradition. :o

     

    I don't understand this mentality if there are comics being published that you don't like then don't buy them and if this means you buy no comics at all so be it in my opinion. I've dropped most of what I used to read for different reasons over the many years I've been reading them and pretty much only buy Hellblazer now, I guess that's a little out of habit and/or tradition but I'm still enjoying reading it every month.

     

    There are so many titles being published there must be something they can find to read if they must. As long as John Byrne continues to 'work' they'll have comics to read surely.

  9. It's time. It's time. Time for the big giveaway. Halloween has come. All you lucky kids with Silver Shamrock masks, gather 'round your TV set, put on your masks and watch. All witches, all skeletons, all Jack-O-Lanterns, gather 'round and watch. Watch the magic pumpkin. Watch...

     

    One of the creepiest endings to a movie ever. :biggrin:

     

    It's by no means a classic but I quite enjoy watching it.
