  1. I'm now very reluctant to eat anything from Mcdonalds. I never liked eating anything of theirs in the first place. But then the other day I realised why. We had to get our lunch from there the other day, and on reading the nutritional info afterwards, I was freaked out. I ate about 75 grams of fat, and thats without including the drink.

  2. I don't think we have anything to worry about. Most people have the sense to not listen to those with less sense about the whole dooms thing. Besides, I found one of those diary things for 2013.

  3. My calender runs out at the end of this year. I wonder if I could do a whole "doomsday" thing and make money out of it. Bahaha

  4. I think this last war was more so to do with finger pointing and paranoia more than anything. After the first Gulf War, it looks like Saddam slowly got rid of his not-very-nice armaments. It really looks like that after the UN inspectors found nothing. We've had militairy presence there for nearly 10 years, and still found nothing. It may have happened before, but it doesn't look like anything recent.

  5. I'm starting to think it may have been better under Hussein. Sure there was a little bit of beneveolence, but the country was generally quiet. Now, since the U.S has introduced "democracy, there's so many ethnic groups that want a slice of the action that it's just going to be too hard to control, direct, and have everyone on the bandwagon to take the whole country in the same direction.

  6. By the looks of it, the Libyans know what they want in the form of a government. They did set up a transitional government in the meantime until they get rid of Gaddafi until they can decide who they want to govern them. Although they have a few different "tribes" among them, a lot of them are unified by the same sense of revolt and wants.

     

    On the other hand, Iraq was a political disaster when America decided to flex it's muscle to get rid of Hussein. The Taliban still wants power, and everyone else either doesn't care or are easily corrupt on top of no national unity and identity.

  7. On the other hand, as a governor, you can't please everybody. You've got to make hard decisions to make the best for the entire population. And that can be difficult, especially if you have a large population, or one that is largely spread out.

  8. If you want to compare governments to schoolyard bullying, look at the global political landscape. England recently expierienced a tad of anarchy. In Libya, probably the most relevant, has uprisings to get rid of their "bully" Gaddafi.

  9. I dunno if it's just my little corner of the world, but it seems that a lot more people get into more trouble for defending themselves, as minor as it usually is, than the actual perpertrator that was causing all the harm in the first place.

  10. 1. Describe your perfect sandwich.

    Crumbed turkey breast, with spiced gouda and ranch dressing

     

    2. What is your favorite filling or condiment?

    Ranch dressing, but only if it's Paul Newman's

     

    3. What is your least favorite filling or condiment?

    Mushrooms?

    4. How often do you eat sandwiches?

    Varies greatly

    5. Have you ever found something really horrible in a sandwich?

    It wasnt exactly in or on it, but a cane toad was thrown in my direction once and landed on my sanga

     

    6.If you could only eat one type of sandwich for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    Italian meatballs with swiss cheese, grilled, with avocado, pickles, jalapenos, olives and onions. From Subway of course

     

    7. White or wheat?

    White

     

    8. Jelly or jam?

    Jam

     

    9. Pickles or onions?

    Can I have both?

     

    10. Cheddar or Swiss?

    Either or. Some maasdam would be nice though

     

    11. Grilled or toasted?

    Depends what I feel like at the time

     

    12. Explain why sandwiches are better than wraps.

    I like wraps, sometimes more than sandwiches. Sometimes not

     

    13. Explain why wraps are better than sandwiches.

    I dunno, theres something about them that just makes them tasty. And the fact that you can put more fillings in

     

    14. Is an open-face sandwich an actual sandwich? Why or why not?

    Yep. I reckon anything on any sort of bread could be a sandwich
