Clive Palmer. Is that you?

Well they did kind of quit halfway through one :lol:

Same as the Americans.

And the British.

The Germans didn't technically start WWI either.

*Nyet.

It'll make no difference who started it when we all end up in Chinese concentration camps

WWIII around the corner.

This time it's not the Germans starting it. Makes a nice change.

VEE IZ LOST!

SWEARINGS TRUTH!

'Merica.

Letting children shoot, let alone shoot automatic weapons. Mind boggling stupid/

The idea that they would ever consider giving the man parole is ludicrous.

John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman denied parole again

This story was published: 16 hours ago August 23, 2014 10:23AM

THE man who shot dead Beatles star John Lennon has been denied parole for an eighth time after being deemed likely to violate the law again.

Mark David Chapman was convicted in 1981 to between 20 years to life in prison for shooting Lennon five times on December 8, 1980.

The legendary singer-songwriter had been walking with his wife, Yoko Ono, to their Central Park apartment building in New York when he was killed.

The New York State Board of Parole told Chapman it had “determined that if released at this time, there is a reasonable probability that you would not live and remain at liberty without again violating the law,” according to a statement released by state prison authorities.

It added that his release “would be incompatible with the welfare of society and would so deprecate the serious nature of the crime as to undermine respect for the law.”

Chapman, 59, was interviewed via videoconference by the parole board on Wednesday from the Wende Correctional Facility where he is held.

He first became eligible for parole in 2000, and has applied unsuccessfully for release every two years since then.

He is eligible for another parole review in August 2016.

Lennon’s wife Yoko Ono has repeatedly demanded that Chapman not be released from jail.

It's a municipality of St Louis, so it's a pretty built up area (300,000+ pop.).

Didn't realise how small the population of Ferguson is.

His segment on the world cup was simply amazeballs. So true.

I watch this daily. I belong to the church of John Oliver.

I would like to dedicate this song to Mike Brown who was shot down in Ferguson Missouri, this song in many ways is an anthem for the whole civil unrest that followed the shooting->

Only 11 countries in the WORLD are not involved in conflict, new study reveals

ONLY 11 countries in the world are currently at peace, a shocking new study has revealed.



By: Sarah Ann Harris
Published: Fri, August 15, 2014

Out of 162 countries, 151 of the world's nations are currently involved in some form of conflict.

Even more depressingly, the study from the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) shows that the world getting progressively less peaceful since 2007.

Although the UK has managed to stay relatively free from internal conflict, the country only ranks 47th in this year's Global Peace Index.

This is due to fighting in countries such as Afghanistan, as well as a fairly high level of militarisation.

Iceland came top as the most peaceful nation for the third year in a row.

It was followed by Denmark and New Zealand.

The five least peaceful countries were, in order: Somalia, Iraq, South Sudan, Afghanistan and, in last place, Syria.

Georgia, Cote d'Ivoire and Libya were all commended for making the biggest improvements in peace, thanks to more political stability

This is a wakeup call to governments, development agencies, investors and the wider international community that building peace is the prerequisite for economic and social development

Steve Killelea

The only countries which are not involved in any form of conflict whatsoever were Switzerland, Japan, Qatar, Mauritius, Uruguay, Chile, Botswana, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Panama and Brazil.

However, this did not guarantee them a place at the top of the Index since the study is based on 22 indicators including a country's military expenditure, respect for human rights and level of democracy.

It used a range of sources including figures from the International Institute of Strategic Studies, The World Bank, various UN offices and Peace Institutes and the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The founder and chairman of the IEP said of the findings: “Given the deteriorating global situation we cannot be complacent about the institutional bedrocks for peace: our research shows that peace is unlikely to flourish without deep foundations.

"This is a wakeup call to governments, development agencies, investors and the wider international community that building peace is the prerequisite for economic and social development.”

If you believe that I've got a left-handed screwdriver you might be interested in.

There have only been a handful of fatal Orca attacks in history, and all of them were in captivity. Three of them involved sexual penetration.

JAPANESE WHALING CREW EATEN ALIVE BY KILLER WHALES, 16 DEAD


A Japanese whaling crew has fallen victim to a dramatic full on assault by a school of killer whales, killing no less then 16 crew members and injuring 12, has reported the Japanese Government this morning.
The crew of the MV Nisshin Maru (日新丸), Japan’s primary whaling vessel and the world’s only whaler factory ship, was forced to leave the deck temporarily as a gas leak was detected within the ship’s processing factory that resulted in the ship being temporarily disabled all while continuing to carry approximately 1,000 tons of oil.

The resulting panic lead members of the ship to jump off the boat before proper emergency procedures were taken and lifeboats had been set to sea. The swimming crew members were then ferociously attacked by a school of killer whales, that decimated a large number of the crew within moments. “It was horrific” claims Asuka Kumara, a mechanical engineer who witnessed the gruesome scene. “The water was red with blood, there were bodies everywhere” he recalls in tears.

Within 30 minutes of the incident, 16 crew members had disappeared into the ocean.
The incident occurred in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, near the South Eastern Coast of South Africa, a controversial area to be whaling as a recent international court ruling has ordered the country to ends its whale hunt in the Antarctic. The East Asian nation halted its annual Antarctic whaling mission after the U.N.’s International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled last march the hunt violated an international moratorium on commercial whaling.

“It seems Japan just doesn’t give a damn about international law” explains environmental activist and spokesman for Greenpeace Canada, James Ben Shahali, based in Vancouver. “The waste of life is always a shame, but the whales are not to blame here, they were only doing what they are born to do: kill for food” he adds.


Some Greenpeace supporters have even celebrated the incident as a victory for the fight against whale hunting worldwide
Japan has slaughtered over 6,000 whales since commercial whaling was made illegal by the International Whaling Commission (IWC) moratorium passed in 1986.
