No, one of the listening stations is the US-UK branch, I know that. However, it has several regions it coordinates simultaneously I thought. My gues would be Fort Meade, after reconsideration.

Was that not the theme or subplot of Deus Ex? Granted, in the game it was the 'evil' UN that controlled ECHELON, but the idea remained the same. Anyways, concerning ECHELON: What is the effectiveness of such a machine? I understand the concept desired to spy on people, but even with the...

Contractors do not mean mercenaries, Overseer. If I recall, contractor means "A person hired for a job". They were engineers, not ex-Special Forces.

Granted, however isn't that an indictment of people in and of itself if they felt 'treatened' by police officers escorting others away that they are somehow compelled to shoot at them? I do not think that absolves these 'gunmen' nor does it impart any sort of pity on me whatsoever. "Where...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9208195/ Now here is something rather disgusting. I mean, this is completely nonsensical, considering the contractors were there to HELP FIX THE FUCKING CITY. People seem to turn into animals rather quickly once the veneer of law has left, no?

I have been rather busy, but I should be making the next post soon. I promise.

That is one eggular penguin right there. Uh...yeah dude, I would imagine he isn't too serious, though of course you could always have a baseball bat or pipe or something around, heh.

I find it rather curious as to what had occured to the Hungarians during the Mongol invasion. Originally, the Magyar, under Arpad, and the Huns, under Atilla would have used remarkably similar tactics and cavalry archers to terrorize the rest of Europe. They were, after all, of the same...

It is funny because it is true.

I don't mind playing double hat and taking on the role of Set, but Ineed a sort of lead-in for him. I think I could do a decent job of getting down the lingo and mindset. I also need somewhat of an update of where I am. Having just got back to college, my organizational skills are a...

I'm from New Hampshire, but I go to school in Mass. how well I know that stupid Boston pride. God forbid you insult the Red Sox...they'll hang you.

Is the Big Dig included in that? "Athens of America" indeed....I can't tell where of the two are snobbier: New Yorkers or Bostonians

Kind of like those reports of revolutions, insurgencies, and general non-American problems plaguing countries most people can't point to on a map, let alone pronounce because they are so small and useless?

I have to state the obvious: Why the hell does this matter? Saying a man is less emotional or more intelligent or whatever relies exclusively on AVERAGES. Given the nature of technology to radically redefine what those base averages can be, it makes little sense to argue about such...

Are you sure it is not just 'overweight' on the scale? Statistics alone would show that this is probably not that suprising, as average is precisely that, 'average'. Considering you are using a range for such a scale, that many percent over or underweight is probably quite normal.

Just another friendly reminder of the sordid world we live in; where fat jokes can be cause for a lawsuit.

I just find it rather amusing that Russia is selling arms to one of the few nations that pose a legitimate threat to a resurgent Russian hegemony in Eurasia. They are quite possibly selling the very weapons to be used against them in a war perhaps for Siberia, among other things.

Why do the British call them 'nappies' pray tell?

Feel free to send your aunt this: Not every 'liberal' hates America, not everyone is a 'whining bleeding-heart' or whatever the hell she might call it. Tell her what the hell SHE is doing for her country, beyond sitting there sending an email? Does an email make her patriotic? Does...

I wouldn't mind playing a member of the CIA, or a military intelligence officer.
