Sigh. Here comes more inter-governmental legal wrangling for jurisdiction.

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:41 PM

It's frightening how intrusive the government has become under the cloak of anti-terrorism legislation. Why isn't this scaring people?

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:43 PM

because I am immune!

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:45 PM

Lucky you! How can I get immunized? Is there enough vaccine for me too????

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:47 PM

well, you have to live outside the US, only then can the immunisation vaccine be delivered I'm afraid.

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:49 PM

Damn. If you read the article though, it doesn't matter where you live. You are still not safe unless you have the vaccine.

**ghost ryder** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:54 PM

Criminals In Action

**DWillems** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:55 PM

Sounds a bit like Echelon to me ...

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 04:58 PM

I didn't bother reading it all

under european law I could not be extradited to a country where the death penalty is in force I believe

Meet me round the back in ten minutes, I got some bootlegged vaccine

Thank, Chris.........I feel much safer now!!!!!!!

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:07 PM

I am the man on the moon, and let me tell you it's not all smiles and laughter, ohhhh no.

I've only got a constant grin because it's stuck that way. The stench of cheese is vile, especially cheese that's some 2 billion years old.

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:10 PM

It must be difficult being called crater face by all the local stars. They shine so brightly while you only wane. Poor Chris.

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:16 PM

don't talk to me about those darn stars, cheeky gets always flashing at me

Still, the sun lights me up sometimes, which is always a bonus. Although half the time I'm cold and dark

Oh look, there come the men with pearly white coats, hello, who are...woah!..........................

**ghost ryder** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:18 PM

hmmm ok then

the CIA is great, i love the CIA, they dont sell crack illegally when it suits them, nooo, not at all, and the FBI, well, there even better arent they, and i suppose the LAPD dont beat black guys up??

btw, im just in a wierd mood 2nite, 4give me if i seriously offend anyone

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:22 PM

No offense....just try to relax once in a while! You don't need to always be anti-things based only on rhetoric. Everything is not always black and white.......there is a lot of middle ground there!

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:24 PM

Guiness is always black and white

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:25 PM

but everything isn't

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:27 PM

what's black and white and red all over

a newspaper!

boom boom

**ghost ryder** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:28 PM

well then why did george w say:

if your not with us, your against us

pretty black and white dont u think??

and dont get me started on bush, he is ****in failure, he stole his lines from a james bond film, he resorted 2 cowboy tactics killing innocent afghanis and now he has put ANOTHER set of terrorist in charge

i dont hold bush in much higher regard than saddam (i was gonna say bin laden, but, hey)

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 05:28 PM

what's black and white and red all over?

an embarrassed zebra

**HarryW** · Nov 27th, 2001, 06:36 PM

What's black and white and red all over?

A penguin in a blender.

Sorry, that was uncalled for.

**barrk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 06:38 PM

What's black and white and red all over?

A nun after falling downstairs.

Sorry, that was uncalled for.

Bush did not steal those lines, the person who wrote his speach did. I'm sure he was fired for it also. Don't blame Bush for the actions of the United States Government. It may be a suprise to you but it is his cabinet and other government officials that are calling all of the shots. He's just there to take credit for it because he has the right last name and a big pocketbook. The man probably cant even spell Saddam without one of his aids helping him.

**HarryW** · Nov 27th, 2001, 07:00 PM

One of his aides you mean

well, try explaining that to a person that's color blind!

**chrisjk** · Nov 27th, 2001, 07:12 PM

well, that would be amusing...

if it affected black and white. A shame therefore that it affects red and green
