French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he "condemns a disproportionate use of force." Spain called the Israeli actions "unacceptable." I grow tired of the term, "disproportionate use of force". You either use force or you don't. There is no such thing as proportionate use of force. I'd like to see that in real combat and actually work.

Excuse my ignorance. I failed to recall that they were not full members yet.

in respect to your comment about turkey. Unfortunately they are a member and hold some weight. If Israel were to attack, the eu would have no choice but to take sides with their ally. Not doing so would be retarded. Why form an alliance/union then? Had they waited until the floatilla reached gaza water, they would have had more of a right in the eyes of the international community to search and take control of the boats. The method it was handled now looks more like piracy since it was in no mans land. Of course these minor details is what differentiates a condemnation from allies and a backing. At the end of the day does it really mean anything? To the uninformed (Conner), it simply looks like Israel is trying to stop aid, when in reality, had Israel let the float reach gaza, it would have been considered a victory for their enemies.

Provocation? They boarded a ship in international waters. They're as good as pirates unfortunately... Of course it's obvious that the entire point of the exercise was to show the world that the Israeli's are evil, and the Israeli's played right into it. And of course let's not debate the implications of Israel sinking the ship of one of their only Muslim allies and member of the EU...

What's to debate. This was a PR mission that served its purpose.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag

Weight loss obviously can be achieved by staying calorie deficit for a significant period but you up your chances by building up muscle mass. I started 245 Jan 2010 and now am about 195. I had to stop lifting weights because school/work was taking all of my time and i don't feel as great.

When this kind of stuff sells, no **** people will gain weight: http://ca.lifestyle.yahoo.com/health-fitne...for_your_health The biggest culprit is a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake and it can be found at some Tim Hortons thanks to the company's partnership with Cold Stone Creamery. It packs a whopping 2,010 calories, 131 grams of fat – 68 of that saturated – and 880 milligrams of sodium in just one 24-ounce serving.

I spent the last night as well as the previous 2 months in a coffee shop studying financial analysis and I haven't seen my friends in the longest time. I think I've surpassed your lack of coolness ...

Get hijack this.

Depends on the kid. My nephew is 14 but isn't very tech savvy. He's actually a jock.

What about Porto? He didn't win a CL title with Chelsea by the way, he won two league titles. And he also won the treble with Inter. First Italian team to do that. Inter hasn't won a champions league in at least 30-40 years...

Just make sure he stays away from this guy. He is a very bad influence :

Sad to say that I agree with him. The world cup is an "event" more than anything. The Champions League surpasses it because it is more frequent, has far superior teams and strong viewership as well. If you look at Internazionale Milan's squad of this year, hands down it could put to shame quite a few top WC teams. It's also much more difficult to win the CL as you have to defend your league position as well. Remember that only top 4 teams in England, Italy and Spain for example can go to the CL the next year. If you sacrifice a weekend league game to try and advance in the CL, you could suffer not going to the CL next year by losing ground in the league. He will eventually coach a WC team though. He wants to say he did it eventually even if it doesn't mean as much to him.

Well right now, he's going to coach Real Madrid. Says his goal is to win everywhere. So far in the last 10 years, this is his track record: 1 Champions League, 1 Europa Cup and 2 League titles with Porto (in 3 years I believe) 2 EPL's with Chelsea (in 3 years) 1 Champions League and 2 titles with Inter (in 2 years) If he wins in Spain, he'll be the first manager that has won in all 3 leagues. Maybe after he accomplishes that, he'll want to win a WC?

Try and get Mourinho. If anyone could win a WC with the USA, it would be him.

Don't remember his name but if I recall, Czech didn't make it passed their group last year. IMO, Nedved was the greatest, and last good thing they have had in a long time.

You're right. Stagnation is better. That's what makes humanity what it is today, the LACK of !@#$ing growth.

You know the whole !@#$ing point of low skilled labor being exported to less developed economies is that the higher skilled workforce work on other more challenging aspects of the economy, i.e. technology development, etc. The average unskilled laborer couldn't do my job, and that's why I'm paid well for it. If I'm doing a job that's repetitive and could be done much cheaper somewhere else, I'm an overpriced commodity. My parents grew up here in low paying low skilled jobs so that their kids could get an education and be better off, not inherit the same low skilled job.

Never used it... never will.

I deleted facebook not long ago. The reason being I was becoming annoyed with how people seemed to feel that they need to share every single fragment of their worthless life on a website. What really pushed me to delete it, my cousin was leaving on a vacation and she put as her status, "i'm out of town for a week, can someone please take care of my crops?". She had 30 replies

Much harder to dive in hockey. The field of play is much smaller and more refs to see everything. Also, contrary to fact, NHL refs are legally blind.

Yellow cards are usually given for diving but not embellishment. I.e. if i fall to the ground because I WAS fouled and try to milk it, I'm not carded. On the other hand, if I dive and there was no foul, I could get carded.
