Larian Studios Forums General Chat More Beautiful

that's very nice of you, can i get one too?

I think Faile was refering to Womble's new sig: "bring our yer dead" is from the Monty Python movie "the holy grail".

Well, the number of posts i am making in this thread by myself tells me that the rest of you have gone beddy-bye (sleep), so I'll catch ya all on the flip side.

i was referencing monty python, but i like hugs better. *hugs kiya back* i didn't realize the post above were about dying people, or i would have been clearer. i'm sick. i can't think right. my head is all stuffy.

and holy crap, toe, that was a long post earlier. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

heh. I call 'em like I see 'em.

cheers

Well, the German novellist living in Bagdad said something different - maybe both is right: Not enough, not enough sheltered and maybe a death cage.



Good to hear - I saw an interview with the editor of the Sun and other newspapers (forgot their names) and their arrogance and war propaganda made me sick. Is it true: Iraq war prisoners are shown clearly whereas American war prisoners are shown with hidden faces? Geneva Convention valid only for US?
Threats to move US soldiers out of Germany over to Poland - so Germany, suffering from economic problems, would get hurt more? Not that I would mind that, I'm quoting this only as one example for the arrogance I've heard.

It would appear so, we conveniently officially label the prisoners at guantanomo bay, Cuba "not prisoners of war", just so we don't have to follow the rules. This is definetly something I wish the popular media would cover a bit more when they talk about american POW's. Before the war with Iraq got going, they used to actually cover this issue, now that it has started tho, all of those prisoners at guantanomo seem to have been forgotten.

Yes not only the arrogance bothers me, but the constant labeling of "protesters" as anti-american really bothers me as well. More than bothers; makes me very angry, in fact.

oh and BTW, do you have links to the news sources you trust, and the popular ones in Germany? I'm always curious at to the different spins on things. I used to listen to the BBC a lot before I moved to the desert (no carrier here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> )

here is a link to one proposed UN resolution condeming the war in iraq:

interesting comments from George Sr. to his son before the war:

I just had to post this, from the official white house (.org <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) website. Now THIS is a headline:

"Complete Text of President Bush's Orgasmic Rebel Yell Heralding the Launch of Operation Godless Iraqazoid Smackdown "

link:

http://www.whitehouse.org/news/2003/031903.asp

Hilarious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Errrr, I still reckon the 10% of bombs that miss is 10% too much. Bagdad appears to be quiet now though. You could actually hear the dissapiontment in the CNN reporter's voices. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Don't civillians work in government buildings too??

Still aint right.

PS. the Vodka was a rather nice bottle of Grey Goose...

but we do all know that the official whitehouse site is .gov, right?
but i like the .org site better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

well, yeah, i do that too. but since i was talking about the troops i only mentioned them. been praying for them for a long time.



stupid mall computer...

I think this has been a very good discussion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
I'm also glad to find out that I'm not the only one who disagrees with what is happening in the world today. Horay for mall computers.

Whats interesting is that I originally came to the forum for game info. (provided more than adequately by Dragon+Kiya) Now I'm hooked on writing here. Finished divdiv ages ago.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

me 2 womble <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
i stopped playing ages ago to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
i didn't even play it anymore on the old forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yes you are, you'll be stone dead in a minute. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

i'm about to stop playing it without having beat it yet...

Don't like it much?

oh i like the game and all, just the technical difficulties and such get to me.

Ah, pity. Its a really cool game when it works. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

yes, you're right, any civilian causualties are too much. I just meant that at least it isn't WWII style carpet bombing.

Grey Goose? I'll have to try that. Best straight, on the rocks, what?
