Since you're painting with a pretty broad brush, allow me to respond to the one part of your rant that I did understand.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (Adopted in 1791)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

We don't understand americans, the main reason is because in france, Religion and politic are 2 different thing. It's laic since 200 years and many people died to have it. And french don't understand how it's possible to speak about religion when we speak about politic. Because not everybody have the same religion, so how can we speak in the name of the religion and say that something is GOOD or BAD ?

Hahha!! There it is again, the restaurant over the sea that I wish to go to: The 21 Amendment.
If I come over to ya'll's guys' town, I'll happily be the designated driver. All's I need's to consume is some type o' fish, starch, and some kinda' soda. Dessert too, :good: .
just saw this one on the news :(

A militant Islamic website showed a video Tuesday of what it claimed was a Japanese hostage, and threatened to behead him within 48 hours unless Japan pulls out its troops from Iraq.
However, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said Wednesday Japan will not pull its troops out of Iraq. "The Self-Defense Forces will not withdraw from Iraq," Koizumi was quoted as telling Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda.

Think quite a few sporeans here.So have any you a chance to chat up with Japanese school teen boys in spore?
Me? I'm way older than them.They won't be interested in old women(once they learnt my age)But my heart feel like an 18 yr old.Like them,like their eyes,skin,hairdos
Saw a group of pretty handsome onces queing for bus service 7 in the evening.Some probably live in the Holland or Orchard area.
anyway,any Japanese in the forum?If a girl walks up to them and ask them stuffs,will most J boys think the girl is most likely cheap,desperate,lonely or suspicious?
BTW,when j boys talk,it's loud and sound pretty rough,more than once I would thought they were quarrelling,but not.

Topic moved.
It puzzles me.
If they can put locator chips in dogs, why not people? (It's a regular, run of the mill procedure for my vet.)
And if you know you're sending someone over there, to a place where kidnapping is becoming the method of choice for terrorists... why not put chips in the people?
You'd think the fun of kidnapping and beheading people would disappear if the guys you snatched were lo-jacked.

I'm a Tommy's Joynt kind of guy.
Local micro brews and house beers are nice... but if I can't get my McEwan's, it's not worth going out.

good point Geez.
But you know how it is. They'll stick that s**t in animals but never in humans........ even if it could help situations like these. Idk, people are stupid. :beaten:

I can see the argument on the home front. You know, not wanting big brother being able to watch you at all times.
But if I'm going to a place like Iraq... for work... as an aide worker... as a merc... I'd damn sure want special forces to be able to find me lickity split.
I don't know. It seems too obvious, so I guess there must be some reason they're not doing it.

I think you have a misconception about those chips in animals: they're not transmitting beacons like a LoJack, they just carry info in the pet which can be read by a device similar to a barcode reader... The reader has to be in pretty close proximity to read the chip... They're more identification chips rather than locator chips... :)
BMW,
Really? That wasn't the way they were explained to me.
I'll check and get back to this later.

I have driven past Tommy's Joynt 1 Million times and never have been inside. Is it good? What is would you suggest to get?

Please do. Maybe I'm the one with the misconception...
From the various pet shows I've watched, the chips are alternatives to the typical ID tags which can fall off, be removed, etc....

I love the place.
For beer drinkers, you could go in every night for a year, and order a different brand every night.
And the food!!!!! Great sandwiches. Easily as big as N.Y. deli sandwiches.
And of course, everyone has to try the Buffalo Stew at least once. (It took my firends three visits to chivy me into trying it for the first time, but when I did I was amazed. It was great!)
Wear jeans, go with friends, hang out, eat like a pig, make noise, and drink beer. And best of all, they don't kick you out until 2am.
Give it a try sometime.

Tommy's Joynt:
http://www.tommysjoynt.com/
Tommy's has gotten sort of touristy over the years. My grandmother used to go to Tommy's Joynt back in the day... though I still go there once or twice a year for a beer and snack, since it's adjacent to the AMC 1000 (that's a movie theater, for you non SF people). I love old-fashioned places like Tommy's. :)
Geez'!, you forgot to mention the awesome pickle barrel! :woot:
