Have you ever had a neighbour that had a dog. We did. Her name was Blackie. Then down the street was Whippy and Tasha. Zachary lived at another house and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the dog that lived down at the crazy kid's house. Dogs are great. Now they all seemed to be great pets. Some were male, and some were female, and they all had something in common. What do all dogs do?
I am curious as to why there is just no news on Afghanistan. The dogs are not barking and it makes me wonder. Sometimes we get little snippets here and there when we have another bunch of young soldiers die, but all the news seem to cover Iraq. The flavour of the moment is somewhere else, as in Lebanon. I don't know. I suppose there are older wiser people than me who can tell me why there is nothing in the mainstream media. Some wars, I guess are not covered. This is one of them. (Not that we would get fair and accurate reporting anyways)
Opium. Oh sweet opium. Jean Cocteau, said that "without opium, plans, marriages and journeys appear just as foolish as if someone falling out of a window were to hope to make friends with the occupants of the room before which he passes." If there is one thing missing in a life. One thing that needs to be filled. An absence. Opium will fill it. It will also feed you. It will also consume you so you need nothing else. You will not need to feel, or love, or be comfortable unless it holds your hand for the journey. I just completed "Opium" by author Salar Abdoh. It lends a look at a different lifestyle. In the end this substance, opium, takes more than it gives and never lets you go. I reckon, if you gave an addict an unlimited supply they would comsume it until they were dead. duh.
And our horse race...
1. The answer is spain. Britain did have that title but Spain was the first. 1 out of 2 for doast and AV.
2. What is happening? They are building a bridge. Why is it behind. Not enough cement. 0 of 2 for all of you.
3. Bhutan. 1 point for Targo, Doast, and AV.
4. Fish eating the cats? Score 2 for Targo, right on, and 1 each for Doast and AV for effort.
5. and the stories... johnnie nory, and the crazy family..... 1 for all of yaz.
Now we have sorted it out. Psam faltered and his jockey stopped off for some fast food. Now as they thundered towards the finish line, AV looked across towards "hoof hearted" and started to chuckle, which let Targo and Doast stride ahead. Now they were going and going. Neck and neck. The both crossed the line.... it is close... so close....
the winner is...

Congratulations dadost. May all your donkers fly alee. Hey how come I didn't get any credit for discovering the Gaelic expression?
Afghanistan. Another shining example of the fact that in this world, the more people join the military, the more people die. If you want to contribute to death and destruction, go join the military.

john
woo hoo. way to go!! well i was so far behind i thought i was first.
we another race. just for fun.
American government loved drugging the troops they sent to Vietnam. Trying to produce super soldiers that are inhuman and attack without thoughts of mercy or pain or fear. Brainlessly doing what they're told by their leaders. Just watch Jacob's Ladder. I have it on good word they've been somewhat more surreptitiously doing it in Iraq too. Is opium involved? Is America teed off at Afghanistan because they've been cutting America's drugs off and making it difficult for them to control their military? Aaaaww, poa widdu Wumsfeld. Poa widdu warmongering domineering ruthless cruel bloodthirsty Rummsfeld. Sometimes people just thoughtlessly ruin your whole day.
Your full of it psam. You watch Jacobs ladder and suddenly u think its done in iraq. What a load of horse bleep. On good word? What are you Rumsfelds son. Prove it they are doing it in Iraq. For those less educated like you Psam, Afghan soil is littered with opium. Largest producing country in the world. Jerk off.

Aussies got rescued by the Government in Lebanon. Now they are being critisized for it. Psam you belong to the bloody conspiracy groups anti america just for the sake of being anti American I reckon and woudl have gone against the government for whatever choice they made. You sound irrational and nurotic. Go and grind your axe against a country that really is evil.
You guys stick in my craw.
