I would guess he delegates pretty much all of his responsibilities to assistants and other officials who were not given mandates by the people to carry out those actions. In these circumstances it looks like he can functionally be nothing but a figurehead. Is Slovenia like the US, where the...

But how is he carrying about with the daily business of the state? He must be on the telephone 24 hours per day trying to get things done. It seems a bit inefficient, to me.

Did someone mention "the right to bear arms"? I really don't see why people make such a big deal out of this.

Well, the moment has passed, so it won't be as funny. But I was going to make a joke about how you must be the richest guy in Mexico, with all those stolen car keys... Yeah, bad. I know.

Umm...how is he carrying out his duties as president when he's that far removed from the resoures he needs? I'd be looking to impeach this guy.

Onhell, you realize that with all those car keys in the background that I could a bad joke, right? A very bad ethnic joke...

This is me in front of the Provincial Legislature building in St. John's, Newfoundland. In the background are the hills which guard the entrance to St. John's harbour. [attachment deleted by admin]

Wow. My mother made me read many of the books on that list when I was little. (Coincidence? I think not. I don't know for sure, but it's something she'd do. I'll hav eto ask her next time we talk.) Regardless, when I have kids I'm going to read those books to them as soon as they're old enough...

What where?

Chew the fat on that one! Game, set, and match to Maverick.

hehehe. I know what you mean....sorry if that last post sounded mean, dude. ...Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

I never said it was otherwise. And clearly, my post is about governments taking action against people because of what they have said and written, not private entities. But your point is well taken.

To add to SMX's brilliant post, I'd like to point out that he's referring to the modern, 21st century Republican party. The old-style Republicans such as Eisenhower or Nixon (who is really the most misunderstood POTUS in history) would be labelled as "unpatriotic" by today's Republicans because...

In some societies, such as the United States, the right to speak one's mind and associate freely is gaurenteed by law. It is considered an inalienable right, and cannot be taken away. (Arguments about Bush's new policies notwithstanding) In a place such as Germany or Austria, however, some...

They're the duo called "Prussian Blue" (which, incidently, was a nickname SS officers gave to the chemical Zyklon B, used to gas people in the concentration camps). Their lyrics spout off nothing but hate cloaked in their unthreatening teeny-bopper looks. They sing of a "victory day" when racial...

Let's hope his wish is one day fulfilled. On a side note, my dad told me of something funny which happened when he was a boy. He was born in 1946, just after the end of WW2. When he was 8 or 9 years old, his teacher had his class draw pictures for the upcoming Armistice Day commemoration, they...

I don't mean this in any mean-spirited way, but I'd like to have people's views on race (by that I mean the outward appearances of people from different parts of the world. ie the African 'race' has dark skin and wool-like hair) Genetically, all human beings are the same, of course. But we...

Essentially it's because poppies were the only plant which seemed to grow among the shelled, corpse-filled, gassed, and otherwise distrupted land in France and Belgium during the First World War. The soldiers were quick to notice that where ever poppies grew in abundance they could usually find...
