Congratulations to Brazil for creating a DNA bank with all of its vegetal species. This will prevent extinction, and if any plant should be found useful by Science in the future, and it's not widely available, they can provide the seeds.

Note: Brazil has 1/5 of all the vegetal species of the world, so this has an added importance.

Yeah. You guys know about Terminator seeds?
They're seeds that the seed corporations are trying to get out that that plants don't make new seeds so the farmers become dependent on the companies.
Very very evil considering that this could cause massive problems if the corporations every falter.

Simple ? don't buy them. How many days will it take to create an "open source" seed market where you can share your seeds in exchange for others' seeds, and get whatever you want? And who prevents farmers from buying the seeds to European countries? Even if they cost twice, they only have to buy once. Finally, customers won't be happy if they know their products have been genetically manipulated with unknown long-term consequences.

The constitution for the European Union, or rather, Union Europ?enne (as I guess we should start calling it, being the unofficial official name), has been finally pacted. As expected, it's trash. Written by the French, for the French, especially one of them whose name starts with "c" and ends with "hirac". We can start licking chirac's anus, otherwise we won't be getting even mineral water for our ministers when they go there.

And now it'll be easier for France and Germany to run the bulldozer over everybody else, having cooperation from the massively stupid, retarded, dumb fuck we have for a president in Spain, zapatero, chirac's day and night bitch.

The Union Europ?enne of 25, where 4 can oppose what is good for 21; where 2 rule over the other 23; where small countries favoring chirac get non-proportional representation "because it's an union of countries", while small countries not favoring chirac "should better keep their mouths shut" (quoting literal words from the French president), large countries with large population get somewhat a proportional representation (Germany, France, UK, Italy), and large countries with middle population (Spain, Poland) get assfucked with a bull dick as they aren't either high populated or low populated. A Union Europ?enne with only one head honcho (good old chirac) and his harem of whores (schr?der, zapatero, etc.). A Union Europ?enne with only one true leader that knows what the Europeans want ? this man is Tony Blair. A Union Europ?enne where poor Spain will have to rely on a circumstantial ally ?the UK, the only country that have enough power to disallow a French blocking and doesn't whore itself for France?, even without our dearest president wanting so, as Spain has lost all its power to face chirac's dictatorship, despite being one of the largest countries, and having one of the major cultures and populations shaping Europe.

The Roman Empire had control of Europe two thousand years ago. The sun never set in the Spanish Empire of the late middle and early modern ages, nor it did in the British Empire afterwards. And now, it's chirac's empire what rules Europe, though the world has changed too much to allow this.


Today I feel more European than ever. And because of this, today I have stopped supporting the Union Europ?enne. Just because I'm European, I cannot tolerate two countries road rolling over the rest. chirac, schr?der and zapatero can get AIDS and die together.


Long live Europe, down with the Union Europ?enne!

Sorry, but got a virus, and need some help getting rid of it.

AVG found it, but can't delete it, it's called: Trojan Horse Downloader.Keenval.E, and it's infected the file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\UPDMGR\UPDMGR.exe

How can I get rid of this, Miguel?

Check the technical thread for this

Wiseman, have you ever heard of a band named Luar Na Lubre? They're a band that originated in a celtic region in North-West spain, more or less entirely comprised of intrumentalists. Ive just been researching Spanish music (i should probably stop, its now 3.10 AM), and they're among the better artists ive found: very talented musicians.

[mrwiseman]

Yes, I had heard of them, though I never owned any of their music. I do have some of Hevia's.

I think the celtic music from the north is the best Spanish folkloric music. I'm glad you like it [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

[Cataferal]

I found them on my self-devised online "mediterranean music tour", a decision to broaden my musical horizons. I have just checked out Hevia as well, an equally good spanish celtic-fusion band. I really like this kind of stuff.

Random fact: Did you know that Baten Kaitos is in fact a topaz yellow star in Cetus, the Whale or Sea Monster. Baten Kaitos is from the Arabian Al Batn al Kaitos, or Batn Qaytus, the "Whale's Belly", although the star is higher up in the body?
Now you do ^_^. Im looking forward to the game, it sounds interesting.

Who thinks independentists from the Basque region, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, the Russian minority of Latvia, etc. need to be shot? [Raises hand]
