Today has brought nothing new save for the expected. Yes, Russia’s president, Dmitri Medvedev has proudly announced the recognition of two new states on the map: Abkhazia and South Ossetia, both republic and urged other countries to follow suit. I guess everyone was expecting that.
This post is meant to give a few extra explanations to a bunch of people I’ve noticed around that don’t seem to know any history whatsoever or who are ignoring history altogether.
Earlier I have noted why fools shouldn’t be allowed to govern and this is meant to be a part two for that, something specifically targeted at the dominion of a notorious idiot, known as GW Bush, Jr.

A quote often attributed to Einstein states that “there are two infinite things in this world: the universe and human stupidity … and I’m not too sure about the universe” (or something like this).
I guess the latest development in Eastern Europe have definitely proved that Einstein’s comparison is not only appropriate but also maybe an understatement as to the gravity of the stupidity’s presence in our lives. Of course the real problems arise when said stupidity rises in power and begins to govern (aka “destroy”) the lives of many people. (more…)
For the last few years, the European Union has been the theater of a struggle to update its own principle of functioning in the wake of it enlargement and the new global context changes since the treaty of Maastricht.

60 de ani au trecut de la aparitia unei tari insolite pe harta, o tara definitia nu politic ci religios, o tara construita artificial intr-un mod care a aprins spiritele si a adus milioane de morti. Nici pe departe o “tara sfanta” sau “tara promisa”, teritoriul Israel/Palestina este inca disputat.
Dand click pe “more” puteti urmari 3 interviuri esentiale pentru aceste vremuri.
Shimon Peres: un politician versat, acum presedinte al Israelului, care a supravietuit in ciuda acuzatiilor aduse (inclusiv cea de a fi in spatele asasinarii lui Yitzhak Rabin) si care, in ciuda actiunilor sale, este probabil persoana cea mai constienta de ceea ce s-a intamplat in cursul anilor.
Salam Fayyad: este un economist educat in Statele Unite si reputat politician, beneficiarul unei numiri controversate ca Prim Ministru al guvernului Palestinian din Fasia de Vest, din partea gruparii Fatah a presedintelui Mahmoud Abbas.
Tony Blair: reprezentatul Cvartetului Vestic in Orientul Mijlociu. In opozitie cu ceilalti doi participanti la discutii, Tony Blair reuseste din nou sa se faca de ras in modul cel mai penibil cu putinta.
A sad news has circled the world since yesterday. The one called the greatest gamer of all time, Gary Gygax, creator of the famous Dungeons and Dragons game (arguably the most popular game in the world save for chess) and founder of Tactical Studies Rules (TSR) company, passed away March 4 2008.
Gary dedicated his entire life to gaming, being for tabletop gaming much the same Richard Garriot (Lord British) is for computer games. From miniature games to D&D and many other d20 gaming systems, Gary gave the world the pleasure of imagination, helping the conception of so many worlds and in this mission he never gave up, not even on his deathbed.
The D&D phenomenon spread into literature, music and (albeit failed attempt) , cinematography.
“I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else. “(Gary Gygax)
Anticipand evenimentele premergatoare aniversarii noului an chinezesc, agentia noastra de stiri s-a aflat in mijlocul evenimentele la Beijing, capitala gloriasei natiuni.
“Este ceva extraodinar” ne-a declarat un coleg de breasla chinez. “Apropierea noului an e mereu serbata cu petreceri, bautura, mancare, jocuri de lumini, artificii, mai multa bautura, dansuri, cantece … si sa nu uitam de bautura. Mai putin acum cativa ani cand ne-am imbatat asa de tare incat am uitat sa sarbatorim”.

O arma inteligenta (tun antiaerian) apartinand fortelor de aparare sud-africane a scapat de sub control ucigand noua persoane, la scurt timp dupa ce tehnicienii o reparasera.
Dimitri Medvedev, unul din candidatii la presedintia Rusiei, a fost complet luat prin surprindere de rezultatul alegerilor din aceasta tara. Un miting spontan in fata casei lui cu ocazia victoriei in alegeri, l-a prins pe nepregatite pe noul presedinte care a aparut in fata alegatorilor imbracat in pijama: (more…)
Greetings everyone!
The previously announced Dungeons and Dragons campaign is about to start. The world is set and with the help of a few experienced Game Masters, all details are in place. A few trial quests have been written as well as a beginning story line to introduce a few character and to get the players into the intricate events that are about to shape a world. Currently I am looking for up to 10 players with a minimum of 4 regulars.
