Voh; Yeah... But, as said, nobody would ever take a look to it, and, with a bit of training, it woul dbe easy to forget it was there, once.

Oh, and don't mind me. I just did this one for spamming purposes. Felt great. And I slept on it. Seems to be enough like that. Though ranting is fun. You should try it now that the thread is already opened

Maybe having one sticky thread (Who nobody would really read, to be honest) where everybody can rant is a good idea.

Hijacking the gen gen forums everytime someone wakes up in a bad mood should be really annoying...

Hey, I has the same question for years in Pain Shop Pro... Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance for those who will try to answer, and to Igor, for asking something I allways wanted to ask.

Futurama: Jurassic Bark

Mmmm... I ALMOST agree DG, but the tear didn' t really fall out of my eye. Does that count.

Anyway, the last time  cried was watching TV, it was 1st of May, 1994. Wow... It' s been a long time since I cried for the last time.

It was not a show, I am not sure if that counts. If you see something REAL does it count as crying watching TV, or it is more like crying in front of a real event which was brought to you on TV?

Nachos, your post reads a bit weird. What are you trying to say? The only thing that this event proves is that any faction or people, no matter how small, regardless of on what territory it is located, should be able to say "We're now independent!" and then be allowed to break from its current land.
If you endorse this, why not endorse the independence of the Basques? They comprise, incidentally, roughly the same amount of people as the Kosovo-albanians.

Thet' s preciselly what I am doing, Petter... Thanks to this "happy event", Spanish people know that an SPANISH region can, if has a punctual and accidental majority of nationalists, sepparate. Thanks to this "happy event", French people know that Corsica, a French region, can get independent if, by any means, the sepparatists become a majority. Thanks to this, Turks know that Kunds can sepparate. Quebec can now sepparate if there is a referendum and sepparatists win.

And UN will do nothing. It' s not a big relief.

Kosovo was not a Country. Kossovo was a SERB REGION.

Yes, I know, a region full of non Slave/non orthodox/ population. A serb region full of non "serbs".

Yeah...

And?

Does that give them the right to decide to split a country? Okay, okay... Kossovars were massacred by Serbs. If Serbia was a fatherland, it was a father who did not bring good food to home, and who beated their poor children, but... How does this affect to "simillar" events in other parts of the World?

What does that "happy event" mean is that, if a region of my Country, let' s say Cadiz, in 300 years has a majority of people that originally was from Morocco? Will they declare independence and everybody will see this as a "happy event"? Would Mrs. Rice be so "happy" if Los Angeles becomes independent because latins decided so?

I hope not.

Independence is not something that a local majority can decide. Let's quote some events that were not so "popular" as the Kossovar example. Danzig has a majority of German population in 1939. Did that give Germany to invade Poland? No... What if Spanish people goes to the Toulousse Region, start to have babies and rabbits and, in 400 years we are more than the original French population? Should we have the right to sepparate? IMO, no.

Historical boarders can't be redifined if a population become punctually bigger than the other. Why not? Because... what happens if there is a region in conflict and a population X is only 1% less than, let' s say, population Y? Will it be fair then if Population X massacres 2% of population Y? NO? Why not? According to USA and UN acting lines, population X is bigger now...

What happens if Basque Country becomes independent because it wins a Referendum with a short adventage and three months after the polls show that non-nationalistic populations should will a new referendum? Do we vote again? Do we glue the countries again?

If a local region wants to sepparate, the big fatherland has to agree... I know this is not popular in the "fair" Kossovo example, but if we break this rule, lots of regions in the world, where the sepparatist cause is not so "fair", will become a mess.

The UN acted, as usual, in an irreflexive, inmature way, looking more to satisfy "people' s oppinion" than being consistent, as populist as ever. As useless as ever. And the US acted according to dark external affair plans (going on with the cold war with Russia, having a pro-EU, Pro-West, pro-Nato regoin in the Balcans...) than being consistent. As ever...

Just that this time, on the contrary than in the previous cases where they beated Mulá Omar, Bin Laden or Saddam, annoyed me. 

So, that' s why of my previous post. Good luck Kossovo. You were beated, your fatherland acted as a bad family man, and you deserved to be independent... But better luck Spain, France, Turkey, Canada... We will need it.

Good luck Kosovo! 

(And better luck for the others who, like me, live in a country where sepparatists can unilaterally proclaim independence with the approval of that bunch of useless idiots called UN) 

Which was the problem with Green Mile' s film ending, Rui? I' ve read the book and saw the movie and I *think* they were identycal.

(I am not arguing, just checking if my memories are uncorrect) 

I won't go on discussing with you because you are a Barça fan. ^_^

I completelly agree that the movie is good even if it does not show the big picture...

BUT

If you agree that the MOVIE DOES NOT SHOW all the STUFF... Why do you pretend to know that the "Middle monster" is one of the little ones which has grown?

Why do you tell me "you can' t really know what is happening" and your following step is "here happened this, and this!"? It' s totally contradictory.

Not being defensive. Just saying in this type of movie you can't really see "this doesn't make sense" because we don't know the big picture.

Then, the director failed making the spectator to see the big picture, no?

Why being so defensive Nostradamus?  It was just a movie, a good one, but nothing else, it' s not a Gospel to worship...

I don' t know if the monster changed it size... If it didn't, and any of the other explanations is the good one, the director goofed explaining it to the expectator.

To settle a few of your nitpicks - the monster didn't "change size", there were several of them. Remember the scene when soldiers said "things are falling from it" and little monsters were falling. And there were several monsters int he subway. So it's common knowledge there are many monsters of varying sizes \ stages of maturity.

I had that in my mind... but from

the subway scenes

till the

Central Park scene

just happened a few hours... They grow fast, then!  Anyway, we allways can use that "It' s an unknown monster and we do not know its developement stages" helpfull sentence.

The command is [ hide ] [/ hide ] 

I saw it on friday, here films reach later... I enjoyed it, but I also agree with Stupot. And I also think that m0ds started this thread asking about if the "moster" changes it' s size during the film, no? I think it does, and I don' t think I spoil anything if I say "When it is between skycrappers" compared to "The scene after the helicopter". When he is between the skycrappers I think it must be like 10 times bigger than in the scene of the helicopter (In one he must be like 150 meters tall and in the other not more than 15). A bit flaw, no?

Nacho and Lore just sent the deposit! ^_^

I will pay ASAP... How does PayPal work? Sorry, I am a stupid spanish guy.

Should Lore and me pay 230 or would 115 do the work?

Benidorm Spanish??? 

The Ardennes? I thought people wanted to go to the Pyrinees, to the Cathar Contry or to an interesting medieval town... Ardennes are nice, but they are not different from any other nice forest in some other place of the world... What if we go to somewhere that can only be found in France? Dunno, just my two cents, I am still in. 

Stupot, I think there is a word for people who does not tend to believe that there' s something fishy going on everywhere, specially if no further evidences of that have been shown: Intelligent.
