It's just not FRANCE...

Europeans Stop Work to Protest Iraq War


By STEPHEN GRAHAM, Associated Press Writer

BERLIN - Millions of Europeans stopped work at midday Friday to protest a possible attack on Iraq (news - web sites), as opposition to U.S.-led military action rippled across the globe.


Labor unions said millions of workers in countries including Spain, Germany, Italy and Switzerland answered a continentwide call to strike for 15 minutes to press for peace.


In Germany, where polls show an overwhelming majority of people oppose a war, the strikes briefly halted vehicle production at three Volkswagen factories and a DaimlerChrysler plant. Trams ground to a halt in the eastern city of Halle.

But that's not what the kings of communication want us to think. They want us to believe that its France that stands alone as opposed to the United States.

Who invented the only aerodynamic weapon that required nothing more than the throwing power of a human.

No other race invented this weapon, and a 4 foot version could smash your head in at 100 yards.

 

[Oceans11]

Remember.
No one else invented it.
Anywhere else.
ever.

 

[Oceans11]

It was invented by people that had about 25 tools in total in 3000 years.

 

[radiofreecostarica]

the yo-yo. invented by the chinese, was initially used as a weapon.

btw, is that a Guinness your smiley face is downing?

 

[Oceans11]

I cant handle guinness,
Its cider, with blackcurrant...

And its not the yo-yo.

 

[Oceans11]

I believe that the 100 yard yo-yo had problems in battle actually

No other civilisation in history invented the boomerang.

And theres been a lot of civilisations in history.

"spot on chuck"

as i was saying...
history rids the world of all empires, good or "evil"...
Sort of similar to saying that time will overcome us and not the other way around.
