Hello everyone! Frequent visitor, a bit more infrequent poster here on the boards. Anyways, I work at a non-profit in the United States, and we are currently circulating a petition to push the United States to support a stricter version of the Arms Trade Treaty, so that the global weapons trade becomes more tightly regulated. For those who are unfamiliar with the Arms Trade Treaty, here's a brief blurb from our website: Every year, 12 billion bullets are produced worldwide, enough to kill nearly everyone on the planet twice. Yet, bananas have stricter international trade regulations than weapons and ammunition. That's bananas! But in July, world leaders are comin…

Hello everybody! Being inspired over the years by my personal experiences and great musicians, like Coldplay, I began to write lyrics of my own, since I can't afford a guitar to practice on at the moment. I actually got the idea of posting my lyrics from the conversation at this thread (courtesy of laxwatcher): http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93873 Please tell me what you think! :D and thanks! Just show the spoilers to read some. "Banana Man" Yeah... I wasn't really trying on this one. :P It was just some silly writing I did back when I was in class one day. Banana man sittin' in an apple tree. Hangin' his hands down like he's feeling fre…

Obama Supports Same-Sex Marriage WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama said Wednesday he supports gay marriage, reversing his position on a controversial social issue just six months before the November election and adopting a stance fraught with political implications. Mr. Obama had been under intense pressure this week to lay out a clear stance on gay marriage after Vice President Joe Biden and several top advisers endorsed it. Mr. Obama said he "personally" believes gays and lesbians should have the right to marry, a position he said he came to after several years of talking to friends and family and thinking about gay members of the military and of his staff…

So I burned a few Cds last night and my disk drive was working fine. Then earlier I went to put a new Cd into iTunes, and my computer won't read it. I've tried other disks too. The light blinks and the little CD icon flashes next to the clicker, but the CD doesn't show up in iTunes or My Computer. I've checked the CD drive in device manager and it says its working fine. Any ideas? I have an Acer Aspire 5515 with Vista Home Basic.

Hi, as I've been into photography a lot recently, I was thinking about starting a new thread about photography, cameras and also post-processing of photographs. I thought that there might be also some keen photographers around here, who would appreciate a thread like this. To start - which camera (and lens) do you use for taking pictures? :) Now I've got a Nikon D3100, with lens 18-105mm and Nikkor 35mm. This is one of my favourite pictures I took two weeks ago I think: Feel free to ask/chat/anything! I want this place to be lively! :D:laugh3:

Mitt Romney iPhone App, 'With Mitt,' Misspells 'America' There's America, and there's Mitt Romney's "Amercia." Twitter was ablaze with commentary on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning after it came to light that the Romney campaign's newly released app, "With Mitt," misspelled "America" as "Amercia." The free iPhone app allows supporters to personalize and share photos that are superimposed with one of more than a dozen phrases, like "I stand with Mitt," "Obama isn't working" and "American Greatness." But one of the slogans plasters "A Better Amercia" across the front of the image. As of Wednesday morning, the app still had not been updated. Sinc…

Fans walked out of the Manchester Arena after rock giants Guns N' Roses kept them waiting for over an hour last night. The US rockers were due on at around 10pm but didn't take the stage until around 11.15pm, by which time some members of the audience had given up waiting. Axl Rose and crew then played a three-hour set that went on until 2.15am, including hits Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine and Patience. MEN reviewer Dianne Bourne said she estimated around 40 per cent of the audience had left the Arena by the time the final track was played. She tweeted: "no explanation, not even a wry comment from Axl! I'd say 60 per cent of us were left at the bitter, 2…
