  I suppose if I too had the threat of life imprisonment at Camp 22 looming over my head, I'm sure I would somehow find that ungodly motivation to win that game by any means possible.

  The problem is getting the Italy's political parties to sing the same tune, as each party wants to sing in a slightly different octave. Till that happens, I don't see much chance of these austerity reforms taking foot. False promises of such "reforms" were made by Silvio Berlusconi back in the 90's, and he simply chose to allow the problems to percolate to mess that the Italians are having to deal with today. The Italians are well aware there's going to be a painful withdrawal they're going to have to deal with, but the problem is people are financially broke, and there's little to zero economic growth to ease the withdrawal pains.

  I still find it more gratifying to burp in the phone and then hang up on people who annoy me (telemarketers, phone surveyors, idiots from work who have no concept of time, ect...).

  The boy shouldn't have broken up with her old school style. Should have done it by text as everyone does these days, to reduce the risk of personal injury (both physically and verbally).

  Obviously his mentor is a substandard cop. He should have coached the rookie by saying that taking photo's was strictly for forensic science only - and that he enjoys studying the science of law enforcement.

  I'm just waiting for a celebrity to pull an Ozzy Osbourne, and scare the hell out of the visitors at the wax museum. That would be an epic win.

  U.S wants to cut that loss by putting pressure on China by using TPP...

  Actually, the US want's to use currency manipulation of the Won as leverage. TPP is only a front.

  Wouldn't be just easier for Cyberdyne to use a T-800 to do all of that dirty work instead of building a cybernetic body suit?
