7th largest active webboard in the internet with a history of donation drives for good causes.. think ill say yeah.

In other words, some of SomethingAwful's donors seem to have posted complaints against the account holder, which has frozen the account. How can there be buyers when the account is solely for donations? He did check some donation-option when signing up if I recall right. Anyways, now it seems that a paypal customer service person has responded saying it was because of the suspiciously high amount of money in the account. Of course they did'nt bother to put that as the reason or contact the account owner. Bet they still would not have responded back if they had not kicked up such a shitstorm.

.. and where a big mac hamburger costs 5.5e.

thats just wrong.. Not if they're obligated to comply with Federal laws aimed at preventing illegal money laundering schemes. If I'm not mistaken, once over the 10K mark, they're obligated. Remember, paypal is not a bank. That's what they keep repeating every time they pull shit like this in order to escape liability. And if they would they would only be obligated to report it if I recall right. And that was not the reason why the account was frozen. The only thing the site owner is asking is that paypal gives the money to the red cross and to give him the addresses of the donators so he can hand out the free merchandise he promised to them.

http://somethingawful.com/ http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/04/050220&tid=99 Paypal closed an account that contained 20k USD for Katrina victims without giving any proper reason, un-fucking-believable. I just closed my account there and made it pretty clear why in the comments field.

So I guess god DOES actually listen to Robertson's hit-list.

Maybe EU can arrange some kind of emergency discount for turbodiesel volkswagens?

Around 2.5USD to 3USD per gallon if I recall right. 1.38e/litre would now be somewhat cheap here. In the aftermath of Katrina some stations are charging as much as over 1.5e/litre (7.10 USD/gallon), I shit you not.

Bet your mother is proud.

So far one person per ship.. then again I could have used an extra hand when I was trying to track radar contacts, put out sonobuyos, fire torpedoes and dodge incoming ones at the same time in the last game playing on USS Reuben James (FFG-7)

Uhh.. I am not 100% sure but the original falcon 4 might not do. You need the Allied Force re-release that has new features and fixes. But like I said, I am not 100% sure. So far the dangerous waters part has been having more players than the falcon 4 part.. might change when I get a working joystick. Friendlies beware!

The "people didnt leave even though they were told to"-bullshit seems to be the latest spin put on the inefficiency of the officials. Kind of sad how little time it took before those started to pop up. I bet you would not be so keen on leaving if most your property was in non-liquid form standing in the middle of looters. Upper-class people (read: white) on the other hand have stocks, savings and such. Is it just me or didn't the late 2004 indian ocean tsunami cause this kind of chaos? They were in a much more hopeless situtation yet this didn't happen there apparently..

http://www.repentamerica.com/pr_hurricanekatrina.html Well, that did'nt take too long. Why blame the weather, the fucked FEMA budget or the lack of guardsmen when there's some good ol' sodomists around?

Just go ask any random turk what they think about the prospect of a Kurd state.. However, kurds are the biggest stateless people in the world if I remember correctly.

If Iran or Saudi-arabia would try to seize iraq's oil reserves in order to monopolize oil resources you can expect total and utter warfare. Not just some colonial bushwar with some fancy bullshit excuses but a real all-out war involving everything at west's disposal. Not that west only would go apeshit over that.. WW3 anyone?

I personally prefer firefox because of adblock. Especially after those jamba flash ads with sound featuring everybody's favourite frog.

Not as big as firefox's. And for those squeamish about giving away their addresses: http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml?email=eizeix%40gmail.com

There is some kind of horrible, horrible irony in the fact that less people would have died if everyone would have stayed calm and a single bomb would have gone off.

Meh, did not even realize that was supposed to be a temperature gauge. Probably has something to do with the fact that it's in fahrenheit.

Then I suppose you would have to rate Sweden/Norway/Finland good. By the way, you forgot to colourize the kaliningrad oblast. It's located between Poland and Lithuania.

It depends on whenever we talking about military alliances or general "mood." For example, I would not definetely rate Spain as strong right now. But I suppose you are talking about the goverment's approach to US relations since you ranked Iraq strong. And of course there are countries that dont even have any goverments to begin with.. I suppose Cuba, Myanmar and North Korea would have the worst rating with Iran, Syria, Belorussia, Libya, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Uzbekistan (now that they are shutting down US bases) following behind.

Picking my nose is a waste of time. Reading trashy novels is a waste of time. Watching TV is a waste of time. Gossiping is a waste of time. None of those are illegal nonetheless. And as for the students spending too much time with online games.. well, there's this little thing called personal responsibility.

You should know by now it's much easier to fuck marginal groups with no power (youth, poor etc.) than with the majority.

And even if it were perfectly worded there is the practical implementation, even the soviet constitution looked pretty nice in print but in reality it was worth much as a piece of used toilet paper. Am I being mildly dyslexic again or are there no term limits mentioned anywhere in the constitution?

For those thoughtcriminals that do not submit to the omnipotent presidente-for-eternity? So your argument is.. is.. that they are worshipping the wrong god? Holy Fuck. Yes, but they it was filled with shinto extremists. Yes you are. But consider it as a matter of perspective. And by some sadistic army MP pricks im meaning the abusive assholes at Bagram (just a recent example) who just got handed down couple of months in the slammer for beating a civilian to death. My point is that your goverment seems to value that kind of monsters more than innocent civilians. Still, if some insurgent called me up in Skype and told me that he had a random civilian from the street and a USMC corpsman in custody and was going to kill one of them if I told which and both of them if I would hang up id call him an asshole and tell him to shoot the soldier.
