Hey J

That would be great, I'm starting at game time.

The first time I went to Las Vegas I arrived on a Superbowl Sunday just after the game ended.

The first thing I saw after checking in was a man walking by me on one of the pedways peeing into a plastic beer cup.

Quote: Lynton

Sorry SPECTRUM it's not that simple (would that it were).

The Paris pact or Kellogg-Briand pact of which this speaks prohibited the use of war as an instrument of national policy. Its formal name is General Treaty for the Renunciation of War. It prevented nothing. Perhaps this is because humans only evolved to participate effectively in small social groups rather than Nations and that is why we have Politics which should help to make things "possible". We also have "law", which far from being an absolute is relative and open to interpretation and change. These exist because perfection/paradise do not exist (and anyway would be about as boring as an unending Sunday afternoon).

It is relatively easy to prosecute Balkan War Criminals. However, although I do not agree with Blair I can see his point when he said that the question being asked at any inquiry would be why didn't we get rid rather than why did we, if in fact Saddam had been left in place and ended up using WMD. The result would have been a mess either way because that is the nature of the Middle East and the nature of human beings.

We are well rid of Saddam, WMD or no. We can question our PM's approach to sexing up the evidence. We can and should question the death of Dr. David Kelly. We can question the lack of a second UN resolution too, but, since when did the UN ever solve anything? We can also question the lack of preparation for the aftermath and the lamentable lack of historical awareness of the average politician.

The invasion of Iraq was not a matter of National Policy exactly, although it was convenient. The Chilcott Committee will not ask the questions we want because it is only there to produce recommendations. These we should not underestimate because hopefully they will contribute greatly to the end of the runaway form of non-consultatory Government practised by Blair et al. and envied by other politicians.

Politics will always work this way. We can live with it and use this site to make our points. Good for us! When others start interfering with our right to do this then we should really get worried.

Now Mr. SPECTRUM I would be grateful to hear you ideas for solving the problems posed by Iran, Afghanistan, and the the threats to Pakistan and Middle Eastern security and while you are at it the Israel/Palestine conflict.



Quote: SPECTRUM

The First World War was called the War to end all wars because
all the major nations of the world got together and signed
The Kelloch Briand Treaty a law which was to become the main law in International War Crime as it clearly states that any country that engages in war is guilty of International War Law. The Nazis were convicted after the second world war for violating this very treaty and this was the very treaty they were convicted of under International War Law. Despite the fact that certain World super powers have signed this treaty they continue to ignore it. They are all guilty of International War Crime for every war they have been involved in since they signed The Kelloch Briand Treaty.
Bush And Blair are War Criminals responsible for the deaths of millions of people and they will one day be held accountable for their actions.



Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Every nation that has risen to a position of power has carried out Imperialist Empire building policies killing and exploiting millions in every country they have invaded.
All wars are caused by the Evil Empire builders the worst being the British Empire. The greatest crime in history was
genocide in India where 1.5 BILLION people died under British rule. Then when they left in 1947 they caused the deaths of millions more by creating Pakistan in the India/Pakistan partition. everywhere they have drawn lines on maps including Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine they have caused never ending problems.
Humans already have enough weapons to destroy the earth many times over and that is exactly what is going to happen if we don't wake up and stop the Warmongers.

I agree.

We should declare war on warmongers.

That's the ticket.

Not sure why any killjoy thinks by placing political, royal, religious etc. issues on a satirical website that they will be taken seriously anyway.

Try The Economist.

You're right! I think we should discuss whether you're a frickin' troll. Sure ain't no writer of fun and wit. Read your stuff there SPECTRO, not so hot sorry to say. But, you swing a mean pacifistic yellow streak! No pun intended.

Evening All, (or whatever time of day it is in your neck of the woods),

I would like to say that I'm 'NOT Guilty' of killing some fun. I am. It takes a bit of time to 'get it' here. Not a mitigating excuse....just reality...my own at least.

If Spectrum is guilty...I'm right there with him. That said...I'll try my best to alleviate that situation...at least in my own poor attempts at 'humour'. (That damn U again! It cracks me up every time I write it in the 'English' vernacular. God save me from the Queen's wrath if I don't color my words with proper colour) << Another poor attempt at a funny.

Now here's a joke which I've been weaving a story around regarding the Priests' sexual scandal in Ireland. (Old hat stuff here in the U.S of A. from many denominations due to the 'diversity' and 'freedom' of religion in these parts.

'A young Irish Lass goes to the Rectory a bit before Sunday Mass to see if the Priest will grant her dispensation from confession so she can partake of Communion in front of her Parents.

The Priest relents and grants her request with the caveat that she must come back to the Rectory that afternoon for a full confession. She agrees. Better that than have her Parents finding her sin was sowing her wild oats all week and coming to Church on Sunday to pray for a crop failure.

The Priest, that same afternoon, in his most solemn mode, after the Lassie's full confession, escorts the Lassie to the Rectory Conference room.

He proceeds to slam a 'holy book' onto the the oak table, tells her to undress and lay upon the table & book. This is quickly done in astonishment by the Lassie.

The Priest nimbly jumps upon the table and straddles the Lassie as he pulls up his frock:

"The 'holy book' is under you
The holy pole is over you
The holy pole is going in that hole
Now shake your ass and save your Soul!"

Needless to say, I haven't worked on that story in a couple of weeks in finishing it up. The Tommyknockers finally got my attention and pointed out this is an English web-site and there is no more of a contentious issue between the Irish and the English.

Perhaps I'll run across a web-site someday where this has its place. The Tommyknockers also told me; this ain't the place.

Every writer has to develop a sense for where he/she is; in reality or fantasy. Hopefully, this little exercise in this thread, may be a dialog that will contribute to this Spoofing place in some positive ways.

All your points are well taken here. If ya's think that it is wise to unleash the Tommyknockers inside me thick Irish Skull....give um the hammers and let um have at it!

Be well All,

Jim

PS: I am as 'Guilty' (if anyone is 'Guilty' at all) as Spectrum in the vernacular of this thread. Just the way it is sometimes.
