Now you are taking away the focus from Data to me, another trick not going to work mate. When someone tells me hysterically that the polar bears are in dire straights, I call them a clima tard because polar bears (if they did even the basic research) are thriving. Al Gore lied to a generation of clima tards when he said and I quote "Polar bears cant swim"
Al Gore was an ideologue too. He also formed an opinion before checking facts and then Only selected facts that best agreed with him.
MIlk I just want to make it clear, I have no problem with people of any nationality. I have friends from all over the world from UK to Australia. My issue is with governments. Almost every government on earth is made up of pathalogical liars who are in the pockets of corporations and bankers. What's not to love
Right then BBF. I want to see a million pages please, then I'll make a decision. If you can't produce a million pages then I have no other option but to discredit what you've ever said on the subject
That's why politicians become politicians. You don't become a politician and enter government service unless you want to hold power over someone else. It's why anyone he wants to rule probably shouldn't. It's also why I think government should have at least one major body that is chosen Athenian-style. Like a jury. Selected at random from eligible citizens. (Any presidential type role should not be random) Eligible being adult age, not currently incarcerated, able to pass a very simple test (just know how the government is organised) and a rich white male... (that rich white male bit was a joke) Yes. You'll get weirdos in office but they represent the country too. You'll even get conspiracy theorists in office... But a few can't do too much damage . The idea is you pick a large enough sample to represent the country so that all views , even weird ones, get representation. American Democracy is flawed because it has become a corpocracy where special interest groups have all the power by funding people who back them. (Woohoo Vote Lessig!) British democracy is flawed because of hereditary peers for one. Russian democracy is flawed because "Chechen terrorists" kill you if you oppose Putin and government controls the media. French democracy has too many French people. It's all flawed. Some more than others.(France).

Heres a conspiracy for ye all and im not even joking. The Republic of Ireland is not in fact a Republic at all. The 26 counties or "Republic" is still under British control. In 1916 when the easter rising occured the rebels were fighting for independence. That failed but set in motion the War of Independence and the first Dail Eireann (irish parliament) was convened. Anyway long story short Collins went to England signed away the north and also his death warrant. Saorstat na hEireann( irish freestate) was formed in the 26 counties. A new Dail Eireann was set up in its current home and the Charade of independence has been played out ever since. Its why we still have a Royal College of Surgeons, Still have laws dating back to British rule, Still have Lord Mayors. Google this **** Ireland never gained full independence.
Not only is it not really independent... It doesn't really exist. Ireland is just a computer simulation running at Cambridge University. You didn't think you were real did you Hash?
Talking about bots... I once lost 5 minutes of my life arguing with http://www.cleverbot.com/ about Howard the duck.
I recently met Pele, so that was the most star struck I've ever been, let alone this season. A friend of mine is his commercial agent so he's always telling me about him although he's a hard man to meet, as you can imagine. But out of the blue recently, my friend called and asked if I wanted to say hello because he had a few hours free. That's a question which has one answer, so I drove down to a hotel and met a living legend please log in to view this image Aluko met Brazilian legend Pele in a chance encounter.
Seriously, get a dog and go for a daily walk. There is no recreational drug nor substance that comes anywhere near it for peace of mind and, completely understimated, fresh air. And with a dog you get to realise that consciousness is not unique to humans.
She's one babe, she is. Saw her on MotD as panalist some months back. Isn't she a barrister by training?
