Bush presses for economic sanctions

[Oligo 1]

Bush is on a crusade again:

As described in Time magazine

It seems that Dubya has almost managed to set economic sanctions against U.S. itself by advertising a ban on all cloning of human embryos. This kind of ban will seriously hinder the progress of U.S. companies in Stem Cell R&D, thus weakening their competitive prowess in the area of medicine.

Anyway, all the better for us Euros, because we can just roll past the U.S. with our research and sell all our newly created treatments to U.S. after the ban is lifted in ten or twenty years. And of course it WILL be lifted, when untreatably sick people in U.S. see their Euro counterparts healed with stem cell therapy. Oh yes, this ban will go the way of the ban on booze...

Ghehe. Bush is stupid. Now we Euro's will get more POWER

Hmmm...

Yep, we Euros become stronger, but the Euro still makes me feel soooooo sick

[Gorgi Knootewoot 0]

Yes, me too. It looks just like Monopoly money.

One euro is about Fl. 2,21. But i spent it much too easily. I recently bought an ASUS V8460 ULTRRRAAAA, for only 600 euros. But i didn't realise it then, that it was about Fl. 1300,- No i'm almost broke. I'm a student, i don't get much money. At least not enough to spent a lot for my computermadness.

Oh, come on, you have it easy. One Euro is about 6 FIM. Suddenly all the goddamn prices seem like an incredible bargain to me. But in reality, all those bastards rounded the prices UPWARDS so that they fit the Euro standard nicely. Even beer is now more expensive, goddamn...

I know that

What I also hate is giving a tip when you go out. You often give too much now, because it sounds so cheap

They did the same here in the Netherlands. Everything is much more expensive. They also rounded the prices upwards here. Even some things i usally payed Fl 3,50 for are now 2 euros. So that is about Fl 4,50. That is Fl 1,00 higher than before. Suckiesuckie it does, hmmm?

When i get tips at work i ussualy just tell people what it is in guilders. Especially if its allot. One time this guy gave me 10 euro's which is 22 guilders, quite allot so i told him that .... I wouldnt feel good taking that much money as a tip.

Everyone begins with small steps

[FallenPaladin 0]

It`s weaving...

[Die Alive 0]

I get it now, first you start with dots ...

Then you move along to dashes ----

Then, when you have mastered the dot and dash, you go ahead with the vertical dash | | | |

Then, with diagonal dashes / / / /

Then, diagonal dashes the other way \ \ \ \

Then, you try with semi circles C C C C

Then, full circles O O O O

And now you have all the knowledge to write.

Even as an American citizen, I also agree that George Bush is by far one of the dumbest presidents ever.

The guy can't even keep a straight face for Christ's sake. I mean you look at Kennedy, Nixon, or even Clinton, and you knew you wouldn't wanna fuck with them.

But Bush is like a little Texas hillbilly redneck with a shotgun in his mouth, speaking with a foul slacked jaw yokel accent, guarding his cows in a ranch. And this is the guy the much praised (?) American public voted for.

I think he should leave such important matters to those who have been propertly educated.

[Oligo 1]

You shouldn't blame the U.S. public too much, since more people did vote for Gore than Bush. It's just that U.S. election system considers the votes given by the citizens of certain states to be more important than the ones given by citizens of other states. Thus, over half of the U.S. population did not vote for Bush and so are not to blame for his idiotic actions.

I heard that one of the first actions GWB was going to take when he took office last year was a major "crack down" on the porn industry in the US, namely some of the smuttier porn like the S&M and animal porn. There was actually going to be a press confrence in mid-September, but after the WTC attacks, it was put to the back burner for now. If i'm correct, GWB is a pro-lifer, isn't he? Guess that's why he's against stem cell research and all that.

I'm sure the Euro's will be the first to create a "clone" army and promptly kill 50 million other Euro's. oh wait.. that happened twice already...

you clearly don't understand what the electoral college is. Thanks for your ignorance.

As long as the Germans don't clone Hitler and Rommel we should be safe.

Yeah Bush the moron. He spent too much time praisisng Jesus (not that there's anything wrong with taht) as a child.

Where Clinton took the American economy to new heights, Bush seems to be doing just the opposite. More concerned about what he believes to be morally right, rather than being interested in securing the future of America.
