overall, as a society, propaganda will have an easier time identifying the zombie as an 'other' to be killed. Its an easy label and a message people will find easier to buy in to. Going to war with a society is more complicated. People in western societies don't fall as easy for the whole war...

off topic FYI a marathon hurts more than a punch to the face.

it depends if you're concentrating on something else, like playing sports, or drunk. In that case it only registered it the first time i broke my nose (head clash playing football). Since then I've rebroke it playing rugby and it hasnt been too much of an issue, i've been paying attention to who...

if you want the details its published in the journal nature. http://www.vancouverobserver.com/sustainability/2012/06/06/new-tipping-point-study-warns-total-irreversible-collapse-global-ecosystem is a 'legitimate source' as is the university...

Assad leaving will make no difference. His power is based on a group of people and their turkeys are pretty cooked without either government legitimacy (as they had) or force, as they have now. Plus the mixture of split secular/islamist opposition,Iranian involvement, overspill into Lebanon...

Sir, you are so ill informed about the nature of the welfare state, the problems of lopsided economies and their social effects, what socialism is, and the problems affecting Greece (I mean more than just reading a newspaper once in a while), that it is difficult to know where to begin...

I'm Welsh and I vote every time I can. I have never voted for anyone who has won. I tend to prefer a spine in my candidates. Several times I've spoilt my ballot out of disgust. N/A (or some variation) should appear so that peoples dislike of available candidates can be counted better.

The same. Theres a story about Best turning up for pre match meetings while at United, but he kept getting sent away and would have a kick about with youth players. After badgering the manager he was allowed into a meeting. After discussing defensive issues (opposition danger men and the like)...

Yep, was hooked from about 10 mins into episode 1. Liked that it was able to move the story on from being a classic cops and robbers style story with better characters and social commentary, to something that covered all the dramatic bases by season 3 and 4.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/74/PicassoGuernica.jpg this is pretty much it. Read too many books on the evils of organised violence (everything from the sacking of Beziers to Rwanda) and seen a few places too.

I really enjoyed the series. Its much better than the over simplistic sci fi mcguffin period of Tennant. As great as Tennant is as an actor, I feel that Smith has been allowed to give him some more character by the writing. As for the idea that Moffat's work isn't up to scratch with that of...

Generally I avoid people in relationships. If they cheat on their current partner whats gonna stop with you all of a sudden? Amusingly enough, however, most of the time I've got with a girl after several hours together she'll pop up with 'I should get back to my boyfriend, he'll be wondering...

Wonder how many Denver fans have been pushing this one. Even when Big Ben (convicted of assaults on woman as more serious charges wouldn't stick) is playing at QB for the Steelers theres a big difference between them and the devil/human salvation. Would this make Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees...

I played Half Life when it came out. Go play Unreal 1 and Quake 2 to see where the game market was then for FPS, and those were two of the best fps' going at the time. Until Half Life went big online Quake 2 was THE game for PC multiplayer. After that, then you can go and play Half Life, aware...

OP isn't really describing nationalism. Nationalism is about how you identify yourself (as in your national/racial group) and is far more complicated than mere boundaries or borders. Nationalism as it is understood as a political movement (for example National Socialism) is different to the...
