Only took me like 4 seconds to load

What connection u on? I can stream about 50% of it fine.

Cable Modem Helped By Charter On A Fast Computer And I Can Stream It When It Like Reachs 38 Or Something.

K. In a reply to the original topic most protesters are generic 'peace' people that can't put forward decent counter-arguments other than 'war is bad'. They're right.

I'm all in favor of assasination personally. Starting with Blair.

If its possiable, people will do it.

Well they can fuck themselves, We are gonna disarm Saddam then kill him, pussy's who are afraid to stand up for waht they belive, when and IF a bomb was to be dropped, their opinions will be drastically changed on what they will see, and all the fucks who say he is no threat are complete and totaly retards, and what I said earlier, if he does bomb the US with any type of weapons of mass descruction, I hope they are the only fucks who die for their stupidity, and their complete arogance of themselves. THEY COMPARED BUSH TO HITLER, THAT SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS TREASON, AND THE ASAIN MAN, WHO SAYS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUSH AND HITLER WAS THE MUSTACHE, THEY SHOULD DEPORT THAT CHINK BACK TO WHERE HE CAME FROM. They take advantage of us, If it werent for people like me and Szukala , who stood up and took arms to defend their country, they could not protest the way they do, but since we defend the constitution, that has that freedom, they can do that, they were lucky I wasn't there.

I am Canadian!! Who's Bush?

No, I'm rather hesitant to admit it, but I don't really care what the big countries do, as long as nothing happens to my little town here and all the good game designer companies. Rather selfish, but I have to be honest

No, no... Bottom line: I say go ahead and go to war, as long as its over quickly and not too many innocents are harmed.

Actually in response to a few points treason is only possible against a monarch, and if there could be treason against a president it wouldn't be because you're in a 'free' state (freedom of political speech), which incedentally isn't a truly free state because as far as I know the president legally needs no backing, unlike other places where it at least has to go through parliament.

I agree, Saddam probably has weapons and needs to be disarmed, on 2 conditions:

• All the US's weapons go with Saddam's.
• We (the public) get more evidence than politicians standing up and going "We believe Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.

Ive seen the photos, but we cant show the 'public' them

That's why you get protests. I appreciate confidentiality (I'm covered by HM's Official Secrets Act at 15 for some reason) but this is stupid.

oh well, I still say, send Mr. Asain back to where ever he came from

Probably a good start, but that's coz I'm pissed of asylum seekers in the UK.

Ah who cares, the worlds turning to crap. My country is no longer white; I dont really have a problem with it, I just dont believe flooding a country helps, staying in your own country and building it up to our 'standard' is much more productive.

NEXT.

Found this @ teamxbox.

LOS ANGELES -- Activists said Friday they will call for a national boycott of the online auction site eBay if it does not stop listing items they find racially offensive and demeaning to blacks.

The Southern California groups told a press conference that eBay is violating its own policy that discourages sellers from listing items that promote racial intolerance.

The groups displayed cast-iron banks they said were examples of items listed on eBay. One was a caricature of a black person, with large red lips, dark skin and rolling eyes, and has been described on eBay using the n-word.

"This is what they think of us," said Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Inglewood-based National Alliance for Positive Action, a racial and social justice public advocacy group. "This shows the absolute utter contempt many in the society still have for African-Americans even today."

Hutchinson said a town meeting will be held today at an Inglewood restaurant to discuss the boycott.

"If eBay does not respond to our legitimate grievances, we will have no other recourse but to call for a national boycott," he said.

Kevin Pursglove, an eBay spokesman, said he was unaware of the alliance's efforts to reach the company. He said eBay removes listings using words in ways that are "abusive or offensive or degrading or in any way disparaging."

But it doesn't strike listings that use such words to describe items. For example, some book or album titles use a racial slur in their titles, Pursglove said.

"What we've always tried to do is strike a balance between the sensitivities of eBay users with the desire of eBay users to buy and sell merchandise," he said.

Hutchinson and others say it's especially painful to find listings for books, prints, card games, antique glass sets, tobacco tins and other items that use a racial slur and are sometimes described as "cute" or "adorable."

Dante Lee, president of Long Beach-based A.S.J. Media, which owns BlackNews.com, said when the n-word is typed in, "you see items that portray blacks" with a "pitch dark skin tone, exaggerated nose flares, almost as if they look like animals. I felt offended."

In May 2001, eBay began banning the sale of artifacts from Nazi Germany, the Ku Klux Klan and notorious criminals, in hopes of avoiding legal problems in other countries. More recently, it deleted listings for items billed as debris from the space shuttle Columbia.

Hutchinson said his group supported efforts by Jewish groups to remove anti-Semitic material and is puzzled that eBay continues to allow items that include the n-word to be listed.

"We in the African-American community find ourselves two years later still making this demand," he said.

The eBay policy on offensive material states the company will "judiciously disallow listings or items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or racial intolerance, or items that promote organizations (such as the KKK, Nazis, neo-Nazis, and Aryan Nation) with such views."

My responce there;

I now declare 'hello' a white word. HA!, j/k

Bit stupid really, its not like Ebay can monitor every word posted or every item posted, they'll probably just impliment a word filter for ****** and hence the problem with die.

Of course hello is a white word!

This is what I mean (language you may find offensive ahead), it's fucking stupid all this "It's Racist" crap. I personally find having to be careful about every word I say and everything I do in case someone finds it racist is offensive.

First, that would never happen. And ridding the US of their weaponry is not going to solve anything. America isn't a nuclear power that people should be concerned about. People like the Koreans are the ones who we should be worrying about. Crazy lil bastards that have no qualms about hurling a warhead or two across the Pac.

agree

also agree. Why the hell did people leave Korea alone?

no idea

Same question can be applied to Bush Sr. : Why did he leave Saddam alone when he had the chance to end everything 12 years ago?

NavySEAL wrote: no idea

Exactly. The answer to that question is as elusive as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

(They're always after me lucky charms...couldn't resist)

you remember lucky charms too?

And the cerial too!
