Time Out for O/T – Vol. 15

Lol. Let’s hope so. 😉

I wish!

I wasn’t free until about half three and it would have taken me the better part of an hour to get to where the President was going to be.

I’d guessed that the Green would be full long before he arrived and I was right, unfortunately.

I hate studying for exams.

The Guards are finding viable IEDs all over the place. Bloody ridiculous.

About 150 people in total. Not much.

Oh lord… 🙂

Lol…

Oh, it was a great state occasion here. First visit by a British monarch in 100 years and all that, but no one else really cared.

So, the Queen popped over for a visit today… and there was much indifference.

Thanks, fc.

Those are some very good suggestions. Thank you, jk!

That’s why I won’t be an accountant. 😉

Ooh, that’s another good one!

Choices, choices, choices. I can’t believe that I’m complaining about having choices.

That’s a good tip about the social sciences, cl. I am very interest in the areas of politics, etc. My problem, though, is that I’m at least moderately interested in almost everything.

If I could do a double degree of something like Chemistry and English, I would. However, all of the Unis over here separate the humanities and sciences entirely. I’ve got to choose and it’s maddening.

Again, thanks for the advice. 🙂

Hey, guys. I wonder if I could get some advice. Basically, I’ve to finalise my decisions for what I want to do next year in University, but I have absolutely no idea about what I’d like to do most.

Could I ask for some general advice about what steps I should take?

Also, Sciences Vs Humanities?

Stormtroopers’ 9/11

I love the Eurovision Song Contest. I always have and make no apologies for it. It’s an amazingly fun display every single year. This year the contest was held in Düsseldorf, Germany, but next year it will be held in Azerbaijan as they are the well-deserved winners of Eurovison 2011.

No. 1 – Azarbaijan

No. 2 – Italy

No. 3 Sweden

Ireland came 9th, if memory serves me

Congratulations to all.

I disagree. As the Government is purposely causing flooding of one particular area to prevent other areas from flooding, then the Government is likely causing more damage to this particular area. Therefore, the Government should be responsible.

It’s the difference between walking across the road and talking the chance that you might be knocked down and someone pushing you in front of a moving car.

Furthermore, I hear that many of these folks do have flood insurance, but that the insurance companies are already saying that they won’t pay because purposeful flooding by the Government is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

He has always had a way with puns. Such a cheesy person. 🙂

That was very interesting, KQ. Can I ask you a semi-related question?

Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces. I’ve been told that this is because it is spread over more dimensions than the other forces. Is this still the going theory?

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:55 pm

Why would you make that distinction? I ask because a sufficiently practical enemy of that general’s country would not. After all, a general, especially a competent one, is a high-value target.

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:42 pm

That reminds me of that wikileaks video and about how one of the soldiers on the radio said that the civilians that were shot shouldn’t have been in a war-zone.

That struck me as either profoundly ignorant or naive. The whole country’s a war-zone and I’ll bet that the soldier would not say the same about civilians on the street of his home town.

Eurovision’s tomorrow. 🙂

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:28 pm

That’s unfortunately true.

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:26 pm

Though following through on this:

How many civilians are to be killed per enemy before it stops being collateral damage and starts being regarded as plain killing?

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:16 pm

I agree, but if it wasn’t legitimate then it wouldn’t be euphemistically referred to as collateral damage.

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:13 pm

What if those civilians were his family?

Should a military leader – remember, this hypothetical applies to all military bodies – not have contact with his family or any civilians for that matter?

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 3:11 pm

Can I leave an open question?:

If a terrorist group blew up a building to kill, say, a military leader, but in that blast around two dozen others – men, women and children – were killed.

Since a military leader is a legitimate target, regardless of their location, could not the others killed be legitimately classified as collateral damage?

» Posted By Caru On May 13, 2011 @ 11:21 am

That’s just rude and unnecessary. I’ve never seen anyone do it here, but I wouldn’t say that nobody does.

We’ve got pretty strong trade unions here, so wages aren’t that bad. Though the unions are a bit corrupt.

Bad customers… I’ve seen a few. Loud and rude.

20%! Jesus, out of a large bill you’d be paying an arm and a leg.
