The evilness he emits is unequivocable. Dark rays of black light radiate
from his eyes, and blood pours from his hands. Razor sharp fingernails
shimmer in the darkness. Huge horns jut from his iron hard skull, the
points sharper than any needle you have ever seen. Long black robes
drape from his hideous frame, hanging onto the onyx floor. A huge glowing
red sphere is held in one hand, casting shadows across the room.
Lucifer, the dark angel looks pretty hurt.

You attempt to peek at the inventory:
You can't see anything.

[quote="Mosaix":1idyd2ig]Great news!


[url:1idyd2ig]http://news.aol.com/health/article/marijuana-use-linked-to-testicular/333866[/url:1idyd2ig][/quote:1idyd2ig]

Did you read the article?

The risk [b:1idyd2ig]appeared[/b:1idyd2ig] to be highest among men who had reported smoking marijuana for at least 10 years, used it more than once a week or started using it before age 18, the researchers wrote in the journal Cancer.
Stephen Schwartz of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, one of the researchers, said the study was the first to explore marijuana's [b:1idyd2ig]possible association [/b:1idyd2ig]with testicular cancer.
"This is the first study to look at this question, and [b:1idyd2ig]by itself is not definitive[/b:1idyd2ig]. And there's a lot more research that would have to be done [b:1idyd2ig]in order to be more confident that marijuana use really is important in a man's risk of developing testicular cancer," Schwartz said in a telephone interview.[/b:1idyd2ig]
The study found the increased risk appeared to be in the form called nonseminoma testicular cancer. It accounts for 40 percent of cases and can be more aggressive and more difficult to treat, Schwartz said.
[b:1idyd2ig]Experts are unsure about the causes of testicular cancer[/b:1idyd2ig], which often strikes men in their 20s and 30s. [b:1idyd2ig]The disease is seen more commonly in men who have had an undescended testicle or have a family history of testicular cancer.[/b:1idyd2ig]
The disease usually responds well to treatment and has a five-year [b:1idyd2ig]survival rate of about 96 percent,[/b:1idyd2ig] according to the American Cancer Society.


Clearly this is a bs article. I can come up with plenty of correlations which are not causations. I am surprised that everyone rails on cannabis when it has been proven to be less problematic than alcohol or any of the other varieties of "legal" drugs. Why don't we spend our time fixing real problems, like cabinet members who don't pay taxes. Nah lets put one in charge of the IRS instead...
Fight the Good Fight!

[i:u8r6x6za][color=orange:u8r6x6za]The embattled US insurance company AIG has warned its staff to travel in pairs after dark, not to wear company logos and to avoid discussing their work outside the office, as public outrage boils over at multimillion-dollar executive bonuses.

AIG's employees have been subjected to death threats since the company handed out $165M in "retention" awards to employees in its disastrously loss-making financial products division this week.

Recipients of the bonuses said they feared for their own safety. A union-backed campaign group is today taking protesters on a bus tour of AIG executives' homes in a wealthy enclave of Connecticut known as the "gold coast".[/color:u8r6x6za]

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but this is terrible. Now the book is wide open to throw out all contracts of all types for whatever suits the guv-mint.

Not being sarcastic.
Just enjoying sick pleasure about those bastards wont get away clean.
They not deserve that money, they didnt work for it.
They ruined the company and led it to bancrupcy.
What bonuses are you talking about?!
Bonus applies when you work over-time etc, or invent something useful.

No, as I know company pays retention bonus to person who promised to stay for the company for another 12 months and fulfil the promise. Though I think those guys are turds anyway. And their bosses alike.

Couldn't agree more. As wrong as it is ethically for these people to get huge bonuses out of struggling taxpayer's pockets, it is even worse to set a precedent where a legal binding contract can be ignored at the whim of some politicians because they won't take responsibility for allowing it to happen in the first place, but would rather victimize others in order to divert attention from their own stupid mistakes - and now they're going to hit them with 90% tax rates, and claim they're not making targeted laws (which is unconstitutional).. yeah right.

Expect a LOT more of this from Obama and his henchmen.

Note that I am talking in particular about retention bonuses here btw, which [i:2ay1mdgl]are[/i:2ay1mdgl] earned - they are based on completion of an agreed term of employment, and company performance is not part of those contracts.

Let me explain.
Aside of "capitalism", "communism" and "socialism" and other.
I believe, you earn something (money) when you contribute "good" qualities.
The "work" is when you create something of value using "good" qualities (hands, brane or twisted brane).
Workers use hands and create material values.
Scientists use brane and create scientific values.
Gays, drunkers and others use imagination etc to create art values.
If you have spare 1M coins and loan to someone, making a deal they return 1.1M ----> its NOT a "work". Its swindle, fraud, cheating - you name it. Its not a "good" quality, its greed, avidity, cupidity.
[b:156boav7]Work must be paid.[/b:156boav7] If its not a "work" - f* off and get a real job! Right now the ones who didnt have guts to have a real job trying to get away of the mess [u:156boav7]they did[/u:156boav7], with [u:156boav7]your money[/u:156boav7] as taxpayer.

Loaning someone a million dollars and having them pay you back 1.1 mil is not cheating,swindling etc..it's investing.. you might not be doing the "work" per se but you are taking a chance of getting nothing back. It could fall flat then you are out 1 million.You should be compensated for your commitment which in itself is aiding someone else reach their goals. I don't know all the details of what happens at A.I.G.,, I'm not sure anyone does.. I do know alot of spin from both sides have came out of this mess.. If what I hear is true, then some of the payments would be legitimate and others just "good ole boys" taking care of each other. They did in fact get paid from completing a service for which they were hired. Sure, they might have fixed themselves out of having a job, but I'm guessing their expertise as advisors would force them to work for only companies that needed help. Not unlike a physician..once they fix you, they don't keep working on you, they move on to someone else. What you define as work might work for you but you don't know what these people did.. maybe they did use their hands.. maybe they spent 60+ hours a week working to fix a problem which they did complete in order to receive the bonuses. from what I am hearing, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are also giving out bonuses that rival in amounts to what A.I.G. has. I'm to the point, being the suspicious person that I am *read paranoid* that this is only a diversion to draw attention from something bigger that is going on. Most people are sheep, they can be goaded to follow a certain path. Osama knows this and he is playing the crowd like a fiddle.

"Helping someone reach their goals" is such a sorry self-excuse !
If they really want HELP - loan money w/o %%.
Charging %% is taking advantage of someone's misery.
