Points of disagreement and the Irish famine Maybe not so much warned, as asked to try an keep it civil. i don't wanna take sides, but i know what i think, and i thought your posts were just about within bounds, considering the provocation.
But it is pointless trying to reason with some people, and given its an open forum...
I don't really buy the 'both sides are as bad as each other' viewpoint at all, but I guess it is the legacy of hundreds of years of British exploitation and racism.
I'm not postin again on this topic, cos we will only end up with the thread bein locked again. i've spent many hours lookin at the contemporary sources on this, and anyone who wants to know the truth should do the same.
Anybody wanna do a thread about the highland clearances/scottish history? ha ha12
is it safe basically i can get hold of pills in my area (york) with a little lookin around. people are always sayin that pills are shit quality and that noone knows what is in em - but i cant check without a kit.
i wanna experience all the positives of mdma. i could try some pills, but after readin the kangaroo pill thread it seems risky if i dont know what is in them.
is buying pills from a dealer known by a friend (who also doesnt know what is in them, but seems to like them) relatively safe? even if they dont have mdma in them, what are the chances it will be something harmful?
fuck, they really should legalize and regulate this shit.
cheers, boothy
what’s this all about Nice slap over the fingers...Must hurt really really bad :yakk::yakk::yakk:
The US has banned exports of iPods, fine wines and fast cars to North Korea as part of the punishment for the country's nuclear bomb test last year.
The sanctions are said to be targeted at North Korea's elite, who reportedly enjoy luxuries despite the country's desperate poverty.
Meanwhile the US set talks with North Korea on lifting financial penalties.
The moves come amid efforts to restart multilateral talks aimed at persuading North Korea to halt nuclear activities.
US envoy Christopher Hill said, after meeting his North Korean counterpart in Berlin, that he hoped the six-nation talks would resume by mid-February.
The talks ended inconclusively in December, having resumed after a break of more than a year.
The sanctions on luxury goods were "carefully considered and carefully targeted" to affect only the country's elite, said US commerce department spokesman Richard Mills.
"It does not prohibit exports of food and medicine and other humanitarian goods."
The banned list includes cognac - said to be the favourite tipple of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il - as well as jet skis, jewellery and designer clothes.
The United Nations banned the sale of luxury goods to North Korea in response to its nuclear test on 9 October, but left individual countries to define those items.
However, the US appeared to be moving towards compromise on another front, by announcing talks next week in Beijing on US financial restrictions, which the North has blamed for its reluctance to rejoin multi-party talks.
UK : East : Council close youths BMX track on "health and safety" grounds TBH I don't believe its safety fears at all; nothing has made BMX'ing any more dangerous than it was 25-30 years ago when it first became popular.
I don't do it as I'm a bit old for it now and would only do myself a mischief anyway, but I don't really hear of many kids getting in too many scrapes here or it would be all over the local papers..
its merely that the value of the land has increased and the Council is too fucking spineless to tell these youths that they simply don't have enough clout in the marketplace to "justify" them having the BMX track
and then this summer the locals will complain because bored kids are setting the hedges etc on fire because they have fuck all else to do..
BMX track sale over safety fears
A BMX track which has taken young people 10 years to develop is under threat because owners Suffolk County Council want to sell the land.
The track is on heathland close to the A12 at Woodbridge.
The local authority said the closure of the track is the result of tightened health and safety rules and insurance claim concerns in case of accidents.
One of the users, Andy Hercliff, 19, said he was devastated at the plan as he had been riding there for years.
He said: "The track means a awful lot to me because I've spent some of the best days of my life there and made some of the best friends.
"Everyone goes there for a good time and it does not harm anyone, it's not damaging anything or creating any noise."
Turn Everything Off!!!! The first of February 2007: Participate in the biggest mobilization of Citizens Against Global Warming!
The Alliance for the Planet [a group of environmental associations] is calling out to all citizens; 5 minutes of electrical rest for the planet.
People all over the world should turn off their lights and electrical appliances on the 1st of February 2007 between, for UK/London 18.55 and 19.00, for New York 1.55 pm and 2.00 pm, for Paris, Bruxelles, Italy etc between 19.55 and 20.00 (all local time).
This is not about saving 5 minutes worth of electricity for that one day, this is about calling on the attention of the media, politicians, and social figures, telling them of the importance of immediate action! 5 minutes of electrical down time for the planet: this does not take long, and costs nothing, and it will show the electoral candidates for 2007 that global warming is an issue that needs to enter the political debate.
Why February 1st? This is the day when the new UN report on global climate changes will come out in Paris. This event affects us all, involves us all, we cannot let the occasion to show how important an issue global warming is to us pass. If we all participate, this action can have real media and political weight.
Please circulate this call to your utmost ability among all of your
networks!12

irish famine………… since there was a good debate about it, and a tread about brining it back i thought id start a topic on it,
The Famine was the single biggest social catastrophy of the nineteenth centry. and as a result of it, 1.5 million Irish men, women, and children emigrated , hence thats why you always hear folk sayingh when they hear an Irish accent, yeah i have irish in me, like 1.5 million Irish folk went all over the world, that with the death toll, didn't leavre many Irish at home.
a staggering 1 million died - this out of a population of around 8 million people. In the years following the Famine, emigration continued unabated until the island's population was roughly half of what it had been in the pre-Famine period.
Given the extraordinary role that the Famine has played in Irish history, it is suprising that there has been very little public memorialization of the disaster.
please carry on, and keep iit civil.

Drug Raid
Quote:
Four people were arrested after the raid at Northern Lights just before 0100 GMT on Sunday.
Officers said there were about 1,000 people were in the club and they also found discarded cocaine and ecstasy, Class A drugs, on the floor.
Three other clubs, Bar Fibre, Space and Mission have also been searched in recent weeks.
A spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police said there had been 30 arrests in total since the raids began.
The four people arrested on Sunday were in custody awaiting interview, she added.
Supt Peter Nicholson said information which led to the raid came from concerned members of the public.
He said: "This has been an intense campaign which will have hit the night time economy hard.
"It does not make us popular but that is a risk we have to take in ensuring their safety.
Supt Nicholson warned drug dealers against returning to the venues.
"I would ask them to remember that this is in no way over." he said.
"Information about suspected drug dealers was passed on without those people knowing and successfully led to the arrest of four people. We can and will do this again."
