    World Politics

    haha, yeah, i'm closer to marxism than capitalism! i think that's very true, i think people went into it thinking that it'd be good for trade but without really thinking of how it might pan out in the future, and that's a problem. it's also what makes it so different from the US of A -...

    ^ yeah i thought that too, i liked that all the kids got a bit of time in it too (except bridget, who is so the cutest kid on tv). i thought it was a little weird but i don't see how else they could've ended it apart from maybe killing all of them. i didn't mind it but dear god the end 5...

    World Politics

    ^ you did well at multiquotes! I'll reply properly when I'm at my computer tho... i don't mind the speed so much as the lack of checking that's being done, and also i think it's kind of wrong that the "big" nations (ie the ones that have always been in) have no financial scrutiny or at least...

    World Politics

    i don't think that's really likely tho, each nation is too individualistic. i think it's different from the us where they were pretty much set up that way from the start (i realise not quite from the start but from very early on, the us is a very young nation) - with the goal of having several...

    If you could pick your own CSI:NY dream team who would it be?

    same here. i think i'd take season 1 hawkes and season 2 danny, plus aiden. i'd probably leave lindsay though, sorry.

    *enter linguistics student!* - nope, there are many nations that don't have official languages. the uk is one of them (although wales is the exception, as it's officially bilingual, much like canada), obviously the us, australia doesn't - in all these places (and many more) it's de facto. that's...

    Who is your least favorite character?

    Re: Who is your most unfavorite character? yep, i agree, it makes it more interesting for sure. i don't mind it as long as it's tempered with, like you suggest, a thread doing the inverse, and also i think as long as you don't get too many posts that dislike *everyone* (in which case...

    The 30 and Over Club

    i know the feeling. i can't believe i'm 34, it just seems so wrong. then again i thought (hoped? assumed) i'd be dead by 25 at the latest so i guess it would.

    generally i'm pro-european... erm... cooperation i guess, but i have to confess this euro crisis makes me quite glad we kept our pound. i think staying out of the eurozone completely (as many right wingers here want) is commercial suicide, but i think maybe we got a lucky escape on the single...

    Grade 'To What End?'

    the paraphrase from the godfather was quite good too :) i knew! because their faces are so unique and individual, they all register them so that any new clowns can't do the same one. i kind of agree about the humour but i dunno, i quite liked it anyway, it reminded me of s2 where there...

    Grade 'Holding Cell'

    i wondered that too! as for the licking scene, yeah, i didn't find it offensive in itself but i found it totally unnecessary as it had no bearing at all on the plot. however i did find what may well have been the reasoning behind it offensive, ie that showing girl on girl action is titillating...

    that crossed my mind too, how after marrying someone could you not know something like that?! couldn't agree more - it's a real shame that (a) gay people (and LGBT more generally) are so underrepresented and also (b) that whenever they are represented it seems to be in a way that's kind of...

    Grade 'Holding Cell'

    ^ well said. although it's easier than you think to get institutionalised, at least over here. you can deny it and up to a point that works but at some point they start taking into account other people's views, whether that be in a voluntary way (family, friends) or involuntary (neighbours...

    Who is your least favorite character?

    Re: Who is your most unfavorite character? i totally agree. he was good in the morgue, then he just went all preachy moral high ground and it's got progressively worse as the seasons have gone on and now every time he opens his mouth you want to switch off to avoid getting a lecture. people...

    exactly. it can be just chemical, that's true, but it isn't always, and to lump everyone in together with blanket platitudes is just wrong.

    i dunno, i kinda liked that. i wouldn't want it to go TOO miami but having a little back-referencing cheesy skit section is fine, as long as it doesn't go overboard. so far i think they're just about on the right side of farcical. exactly.

    Who is your least favorite character?

    Re: Who is your most unfavorite character? hawkes bothers me, i liked him at first but these days he's just one long preaching session. lindsay is meh, y'know, neither here nor there really. also i have to say stella. i was beginning to actively dislike her by about the end of s5, and now...
