okay, Laura is telling me that Alzheirme (spelling?) is a disease and I am saying that it's not........... and she doesn't believe, and there are proves that say it is, but that's not the point. The thing is you once said the difference between a disease and what you called a "Medical condition". I said Alz..... is a medical condition, but the stubborn Ms. Laura, doesn't want to believe me! (must add you could have skipped that, since it's not what I am trying to ask). I will not waist my time looking for what you said, since I'll be realistic, and I know, I prolly won't find it. I say it is the same as Diabetes, which is why you said that, me thinks. Now, and after all that, can you explain her what's the difference between a Medical condition and a disease, and why Alz... is not one...... Please! Since I can't, but I know I am right...... and I don't care what the American Association...(etc) says, I know I've got the reason! For your help, thanks!

that's what I mean when I said the 'board is/was prehistoric'

okayyyyyyyyy :D

WWWWWWWEEEEEEEEE! I'll work for a travel agency yeah, that's what I will :lol:

me seems to be the only one like "yes" but anyway.......... it works through a mile system... it goes from 29.000 miles to 39.000 and depending which one you buy, it's how much you can travel you must pass through the meridian/l zone a.k.a Greenwich (at least called that way here) and it cost around $2.600 and $3.300 U.S.A dollars + taxes, which according to me it's cheap obviously, me can't travel though..... :lol: let's hope time passes fast :D

No! because a disease its something different! Ask Stepehen, he knows how to explain it..... I understand the difference between the concepts, but I'm unable to explain it! :angry: just wait and see! :D

Would you like to travel around the world for 80 days? (actiolly it can be from 10 days to 1 year) I was just reading and thinking about that and it's so like........... yes! You can stop in 15 countries (+) and 3 countries (-) and it's like......... cheap, nice, fun, lovely.......... :lol: must be cause I love travelling! anyway, that was it....... and the pic is just some random staff from a Magazine :D

Kettercat asks the same, and they simply reply! :lol:

I once asked this and people told me I was stupid! :lol:

This is just another event is the whole thing...... after everything that I've seen, heard and read, I can't be surprised at all :/

am I the only one that has NO street? (doesn't have any) :confused:

ah! I sometimes get a board uglier than that one!

Probably most of you already knew about this..... but anyway me posted it and it's also in Spanish, in case you didn't understood/stand english....... and it's like is most languages.... but that's not the important....... my fellow Americans might care about this; I am not sure though!

¿Qué tienen en común? Viernes 14 mayo 2004, Santiago, CHILE El próximo 17 de mayo, Greenpeace Estados Unidos, corre el peligro de ser declarada organización criminal por orden del Fiscal General y bajo una ley a la que sólo se ha recurrido en dos ocasiones durante sus 130 años de vida, la última vez fue hace 100 años. ¿Qué tienen en común? Una rubia alta Una joven fugitiva de 55 años Un exitoso abogado de Miami Un legislador brasileño El Ministro de Justicia de Estados Unidos, John Ashcroft Un ex colaborador de Clinton Una amenaza de muerte Burdeles del siglo XIX ¡Ah!... y muchos árboles La respuesta es Greenpeace A lo largo de los 33 años de existencia de Greenpeace, las personas más insospechadas se han unido con el fin de proteger el medioambiente. Además, han utilizado la acción directa pacífica para poner sobre el tapete los delitos e injusticias que se cometen en contra del medioambiente. Sin embargo, esta lista de personas es quizás una de las más extraordinarias. El papel que desempeñarán en las próximas semanas podría tener implicancias significativas tanto para el futuro de la organización en Estados Unidos como para el derecho a la libertad de expresión y la desobediencia civil dentro de este país e incluso más allá de sus fronteras. El 17 de mayo Greenpeace Estados Unidos enfrentará la posibilidad de ser declarada una organización criminal por petición del Ministro de Justicia de Estados Unidos, al amparo de una extraña ley que ha sido utilizada sólo en dos oportunidades a lo largo de sus 130 años de existencia en el código legal. La última vez fue hace más de un siglo. Con anterioridad, sólo se había procesado a activistas en forma individual por su participación en acciones de apoyo a campañas mundiales de Greenpeace; práctica bastante común para estos individuos que están preparados para asumir las consecuencias de sus acciones. Así lo hicieron seis activistas de Greenpeace en abril del 2002. Luego que dos de ellos abordaran el barco comercial APL Jade, el cual intentaba ingresar madera de caoba obtenida de manera ilegal al puerto de Miami, Florida, fueron declarados culpables, multados y sentenciados a prisión preventiva. Todos pasaron un fin de semana en prisión, es decir, el proceso judicial había seguido su curso. O al menos eso pensábamos. Un año y 3 meses más tarde se notificó a la sede de Greenpeace en Washington que la oficina del Ministro de Justicia de Estados Unidos sometería a proceso a la organización entera por las acciones emprendidas en abril del 2002. Esta es la primera vez en la historia en que el gobierno de Estados Unidos somete a proceso a toda una organización defensora debido a actividades relacionadas con la libertad de expresión. Dentro de algunas semanas, la legislación estadounidense iniciará un juicio sin precedentes con el propósito de declarar a Greenpeace Estados Unidos como una organización criminal por promover acciones en defensa de la caoba brasileña, actualmente declarada en peligro de extinción por la Convención sobre el Comercio Internacional de Especies Amenazadas de Fauna y Flora Silvestres (CITES). Al respecto, vale la pena mencionar que en aquel entonces, varios gobiernos celebraron el trabajo desarrollado por Greenpeace en campañas a favor de esta especie. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, el gobierno estadounidense somete a proceso a esta organización por realizar el mismo tipo de labor. Mientras que Greenpeace se sienta en el banquillo de los acusados, las compañías madereras y navieras, junto con los traficantes de caoba, ya obtuvieron las ganancias; burlándose así de la ley. La madera talada ilegalmente continúa ingresando a Estados Unidos y a otros países del mundo. Las organizaciones delictivas mantienen sus operaciones en el corazón del Amazonas y aquellos que intentan proteger el bosque tropical más grande del planeta siguen actuando bajo amenaza de muerte - en alguna ocasiones hasta la muerte - y países como Estados Unidos aún no logran cumplir con la promesa de proteger la caoba conforme con lo establecido por CITES. Sin embargo, este caso no sólo involucra a Greenopeace y al Amazonas. Lo que también está en juicio es el derecho fundamental y entrañable de la libertad de expresión y la desobediencia civil. Líderes y grupos de defensa estadounidenses apoyan a Greenpeace y reconocen la enorme amenaza que representa este proceso a las libertades civiles. Entre aquellos que han brindado su apoyo se cuentan el ex vicepresidente Al Gore; el líder de los derechos civiles y la NAACP, Julian Bond; la American Civil Liberties Union y el Sierra Club.

Bush takes Greenpeace to court Wed 12 May 2004 UNITED STATES/Miami Question: What do the following have in common? A tall blonde A 55 year old teenage runaway A top Miami lawyer A Brazilian legislator The US Attorney general, John Ashcroft A former Clinton aide A death threat 19th century brothels Oh... and a lot of trees Answer: Greenpeace Throughout the 33-year history of Greenpeace the most unexpected people have come together to protect the environment and used non- violent direct action to highlight environmental crimes and injustice. But this collection is perhaps one of the most extraordinary. What they do in the coming weeks could have significant implications not only for the future of Greenpeace in the US, but also for civil disobedience and the right to freedom of speech for all in America and even beyond. Next week, on May 17th, Greenpeace USA will be under threat of being declared a criminal organisation at the behest of the US Attorney General, under an obscure law that has been invoked only twice in its 130 years on the statute books - the last time was more than 100 years ago. Individual activists have been prosecuted in the past for carrying out action in support of Greenpeace campaigns worldwide - it is not unusual, and those individuals are prepared to take the consequences of their actions. In April 2002, six Greenpeace activists did just that. After two of them boarded a commercial ship, the APL Jade, which was bringing illegal mahogany into the port of Miami, Florida, they pleaded guilty, were fined and sentenced to "time served" - the weekend they all spent in jail. The judicial process had run its course. Or so we thought. 15 months later Greenpeace USA headquarters in Washington was served notice that the US Attorney General's office would be prosecuting the entire organisation for the action - the first time in history that the US Government has prosecuted an advocacy group for a free-speech related activity. In a matter of a few weeks, US law could be used in an unprecedented way to declare Greenpeace USA a criminal organisation, as a result of acting to protect Brazilian mahogany - a species now declared at risk according to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). It is worth noting here that at the time of the CITES declaration, many governments congratulated Greenpeace for the years of campaign work to protect the species. Now one government is prosecuting us for doing the same thing. While Greenpeace sits in the dock in Miami, the loggers, shippers and traders of that illegal mahogany have cashed in and laughed at the law. Illegally logged wood is still going to the US and other countries around the world, the criminal underworld is still operating in the heart of the Amazon, those trying to protect the world's greatest rainforest are still operating under threat of death and sometimes dying, and countries like the US are still failing to live up to their promise under CITES to protect mahogany. But this case is not just about Greenpeace and the Amazon. On trial is also the fundamental and cherished right to freedom of speech and civil disobedience. Many leaders and other advocacy groups in the US have recognised the great risk to civil liberties this prosecution presents and are supporting Greenpeace. They include former US Vice President Al Gore, the civil rights leader Julian Bond and the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Sierra Club.
