Great film - Bowling for Columbine Go see it. Now!

Time magazine's article - Europe Needs to Get Real
Laugh a minute stuff!

"We see ourselves as inhabiting history — doing the ugly, necessary work of the world": Sure... Not signing Kyoto, International Court etc. is indeed the ugly work.
Signing political treaties with N. Korea instead of invading them (well they are a lot better trained and more dangerous than Iraq). Mistaking size with altruism is all too easy. It took an awful lot of himming and hawing before the USA joined the second world war. Thank god they did, but it would have been better for all if it had of been sooner.

"Europeans are materialistic": Ehh. I think most countries are, but Europeans non more so than Americans (Sorry, was it a European Film maker that introduced the sentence "Greed is Good". I Think not). Anyway what the hell does this statement bring to the argument???

"Europeans care more than we do about physical pleasure; they traffic in titillation": Getting better! Where do 95% of the world's "Pornos" come from??? America methinks. And just because the USA has far more rigid and puritanian social standards doesn't mean that your average Joe Coach Potato doesn't love a good old Peter North flick.

"Europeans ... are obsessed with their food (which is, by the way, no longer superior to ours).": This stinks of inferiority complex. What does that have to do with the role of America in the global society???

"it's tough to have family traditions in a region where so many choose to be childless": Jesus Christ, now it's getting nasty! I suppose in America size does matter...

"it's tough to have religious values when less than 20% of Europeans regularly attend church": Ouch, now that hurt. Dear Mr. Caldwell, most of us are brought up with the belief that you can be deeply spiritual and religious without having to go to church and bashing a bible. And to be honest I would prefer 20% church attendance and people with a stong inner sense of wrong and right to strict Mormons and Jehova Witnesses running around the place scaring the s**t out of people talking about fire & brimstone. What was that statistic again - 60% of Americans believe in Hell???

I don't know what all this back biting, muscle flexing, mine is bigger than yours swaggering is doing, but what it isn't doing is: Catching Osama Bin Laden, Stopping Iraqui Children starving to death, Encouraging world peace and Intercultural-Understanding etc. etc.

The Biggest Threat To Peace As I speak it's 82% for the USA

USA gone mad
"George W. Bush, 1978-84: senior executive, Arbusto Energy/Bush Exploration, an oil company; 1986-90: senior executive of the Harken oil company.
Dick Cheney, 1995-2000: chief executive of the Halliburton oil company.
Condoleezza Rice, 1991-2000: senior executive with the Chevron oil company, which named an oil tanker after her"

Slipups and Easter Eggs - Check out Lord of The Rings - A car was in there?

The Dilbert Rules

1. I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
2. I love deadlines. I'm particularly fond of the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
3. Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
4. Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.
5. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him again.
6. I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
7. My reality check bounced.
8. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
9. I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.
10. Today, I'm planning on being slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
11. Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
12. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.
13. A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
14. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
15. After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the
month than you did before.
16. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
17. You can go anywhere you want. Just look serious and carry a clipboard.
18. If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
19. When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
20. Following the rules will not get the job done.
