^ ^ 2 very good points. Can someone that's not as lazy as me compile a list of the songs and artists mentioned? I can only pick out a few here and there...

>> ^ObsidianStorm:

Shuac - I'm totally with you. I too hate fantasy and yet, based on the quality of this series - the characters, the amazing world George Martin has created - I've started the series and am loving it. Finished the first and just started the second, "A Clash of Kings"...


A Clash of kings is amazing! I'm just about to finish it, just a few pages left I'm eeking out til the next book arrives

I am fascinated by technological clashes.
One of my favorite fantasies would be to get in a time machine, and go pick up Leonardo daVinci or Jules Verne, and take them for a tour of our technology.
Am I a hopeless nerd? lol


So basically, Bill and Ted?

If you showed them the "fleshlight" or internet porn, they'd be erased from the history books.

This has Clash of the Titans written all over it.

>> ^blankfist:
Would be a great world if the borders all went away.


Ahh, but what about the fatal flaw in that world? No more borders means nothing left to keep the worlds armies from clashing.

(Although I _would_ want to watch that if they got equipped with Nerf versions of their original weapon systems.)

Thanks for that @sepatown. @rychan take a read of that and tell me I'm wearing a tinfoil hat again.

"Despite the warm greetings given to demonstrators by soldiers in the street, there were no signs that the generals had abandoned Mubarak, himself a former air force commander. Analysts said it appeared likely that the soldiers had been instructed to avoid the kinds of violent clashes mounted by police who had confronted the protesters with tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition."

So, while many of the protesters see the military as on their side (and they very well may be trying to protect the protesters from the police) they are likely still under the control of the repressive government.

Mubarak's appointment of military men to top posts continues Egypt's martial style of rule

From Wikipedia:

The 2011 Egyptian protests are a series of street demonstrations, protests, and civil disobedience acts that have been taking place in Egypt since 25 January 2011. The demonstrations and riots began in the weeks after the successful Tunisian uprising, and many protesters are carrying Tunisian flags as a symbol of their influence. Specific grievances have centered around legal and political as well as economic issues: police brutality, state of emergency laws, lack of free elections, corruption, restrictions on freedom of speech, high unemployment, low minimum wages, insufficient housing, food price inflation, and poor living conditions. Mohamed ElBaradei, seen as the most likely candidate for an interim presidency, called for the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak as a possible objective.

As of January 29, at least 95 protester deaths had been reported (27 in Suez, 23 in Alexandria, 45 in Cairo), along with 10 policemen. 750 policemen and 1,500 protesters have been injured. The capital city of Cairo has been described as "a war zone", and the port city of Suez has been the scene of frequent violent clashes. The Egyptian government has attempted to break up and contain protests using a variety of methods. Anti-riot police groups have been responding to areas with shields, rubber bullets, batons, water cannons, tear gas and, in some cases, live ammunition. For the most part, the protest response has been non-lethal, although there have been fatalities. The government turned off almost all Internet accessand imposed a curfew, claiming that minimizing disruption from the protests is necessary to maintain order and to prevent an uprising of fundamentalist Islamic groups.

International response to the protests has generally been supportive with most governments and organizations calling for non-violent responses on both sides and peaceful moves towards reform. The protests have captured worldwide attention due to the increasing integration of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other social media platforms that have allowed activists and onlookers to communicate, coordinate, and document the events as they occur. As the level of publicity has increased, the Egyptian government has made increasing efforts to limit internet access, especially to social media. On the eve of major planned protests on Friday, 28 January, a nationwide internet and mobile phone "blackout" began, though before dawn the following morning it was reported that the blackout for cell phones had ended.

I need to curb my own personal excitement, and not give into the hype, but I really think this will be a good series.

Books however;
A Game of Thrones: 1996
A Clash of Kings: 1999
A Storm of Swords: 2000
A Feast for Crows: 2005
A Dance with Dragons: only maybe never
finishing the series: let us just say i hope i die before he does

His intention was good but it's rather unprofessional to leave in midst of an interview. Just sayin'.

It's sorta like capturing a window spider and releasing it outside in midst of a job interview or saying hello to his friend while he's at the principal's office. Do remember that he just came out of a police station fighting extradition facing a rape charge in Sweden. (which is another debating case of immaturity of him and people he mingles with)

It just goes to show his attitude towards all this media attention, that he's not taking things very seriously, not much different from a love-starved kid getting attention by being naughty.

What he's doing with wikileaks has made headlines, fighting against the tyrannies of corporate controlled and concentration of power. That's good. But he's also a man that does not care much for conventional rules, and he'd rather play this role of vigilante and in fact loving every minute of it. He's just as immature and selfish as any one of those crooks he is ought to expose them.

He likes the fact that he can play outside the boundaries, that he is above the law. In fact that's what his work is about, by means of backhand deals and illegal information leaks. But he's doing these bad things to the bad guys, which is the major difference and why some people view him as a hero. So his existence is in itself a constant clash of irony, a people's hero out to fight against world's problems, by practicing the same techniques the baddies are using, and enjoying his role in it.

Meh, I find the two songs just clash far too much with each other, there's no 'gel' in there for me.

Nothing to do with lyrics, just musically, they don't fit.

Why didn't they guy answer 'the moon controls the tides' instead of 'I don't know.' That just pushes O'Reilly farther.

I agree with the guy that there are likely 'far' more atheists than that one poll suggests. They've just bent to pressure to go to church and sit in a pew and listen to a guy speak a bunch of nonsense and then write them a check. Especially people in the bible belt, if you don't go to church you are an outcast. If you say your an atheist your run out of town!

I don't personally think religion is a scam. I think it's an extremely outdated way to explain our world and why things happen. It clashes so often with science because science has explained with fact what religion has attempted to explain in the past with myth and story. Because of this religion in the US and around the world has been slowly fading since the sixties and especially since the 80s (I remember as a child in the early 80's my local churches were filled to the brim, today all but a few in my county have less than 20 people and on off-seasons (the summer) rarely have more than 5-10 parishioners.

Religion is outdated and it's not making their leaders remotely as much money (in most of the country) as it used to. So main-stream religion has begun to fight back. To them, there is a war going on. To the rest of the world, we are just waiting for it to become such a small minority we don't have to deal with it on a daily basis.

Frankly if I'd have grown up in the bible belt I would have killed myself by now.
