    Human Rights Watch reports on the Israeli attacks in Lebanon

    Now, where exactly have you seen me asking you to lay down your arms? All I?m saying is you shouldn?t use them unless absolutely necessary. It?s better to let at least some of the terrorist attacks go without armed response than use old methods of retaliation that proved to be completely...

    Human Rights Watch reports on the Israeli attacks in Lebanon

    Israel is the only country in the world that still uses plain old RETALIATION and is able to get away with it. Whenever some Palestinian wraps himself in explosive and kills some Jews, Israel reacts by launching a missile into Palestinian populated area, claiming it is targeting some...

    a few questions for socialist/communists

    I now this thread is a bit stale but as a guy that lived in comunism I might shed some light on the subject. I am sorry for my spelling errors. Comunism offered a much more equal opportunities to all the youngsters in schools. Education was free and more-less everybody could finish at least...

    I think I will renounce my citizenship (or exposé on the current situation in Eastern Europe)

    Hallo MartyTheManiak, I?m from Serbia so we are in the same neighborhood right now. My father is a truck driver and he took many trips to Bulgaria and told me stories about unbelievable level of corruption there, especially among custom officers. But don?t blame the people. If Canadian economy...

    I need a good software audio player!

    Forget about WinAmp 3 and stick to older versions. Perhaps RealOne player? FreePlayer is ok. Than there is nokia player (not bad but I can't remember where I got it from). All of these are free.

    XP Home or XP Professional... Does it matter?

    Alright, here it is. Home doesn't have group policy editor, which is a useful tool. Also some programes like Virtual drive refused to work on home edition, but worked on pro. Games seem to work fine on both, so pro is better, but home is cheaper. I would choose home.

    Windows XP - Conserving Swapfile Usage

    The same as win98. Only it is now called page file. 1 GB is maybe too much, but if you got room, why not.

    As an outsider, I feel I must warn you

    To Michael: I can't in my right mind say that the war was righteous. But OK, I will give in, if somebody gives me A SINGLE GOOD REASON for this war. And I don't mean things like we fought for democracy because I can easily explain to you that that's not true. And I don't mean reasons like we...

    XP Home or XP Professional... Does it matter?

    I tried them both and I can say that pro is better. But if you are thinkig of actualy BUYING one you should stick to home.

    As an outsider, I feel I must warn you

    To Michael and Mookow: Yes, there were protests. But the actual question is why the majority didn't stand up against something so wrong as starting a war half a world away from US to overthrow some dictator in a country that most Americans cant find on a map. Yes, Sadam is a bad guy, but it goes...

    As an outsider, I feel I must warn you

    To KenGr: Maybe American government has no significant impact on the live of common American, but it has way too much influence on lives of non-Americans. State department advices American citisens against going in over 100 countries! Ask yourself: Have we done something wrong to make people in...

    As an outsider, I feel I must warn you

    To KenGr: I doubt that American people think that system is so good that they don't need to vote. I bealive they think it is so bad that they can do nothing about it. Those things you mentioned about presidents show that it is not them that run the country. Country is ran by far more powerful...

    As an outsider, I feel I must warn you

    To IamDavid: Unfotunately, I do. During Bill Clinton administration US attacked Yugoslovia. So on the next election all the Serbian Americans voted republican. And what happened? George Bush came and attacked Iraq. Like I said America is run by big corporations. Your votes don't mean squat...
