Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Plus most of us are kind enough to say: "Hey, appreciate the effort but now would you like to actually get your point across?"  |

Surely you must be joking?
Are you seriously suggesting that by defrauding the great and mighty Great Blue Balls of Fire corporation, this guy has completely trashed his EVE career by alerting future marks? I think he'll do just fine in the future - because barleyjacks like you only deign to post on See and Pee when someone steals your life's possessions (read: a couple of pennies and an Ibis BPO), and don't include it as a compulsory daily read.
Way to provide proof of this "theft", barleyjack.
...Barleyjack.

From an American who only knows English fluently, I always teach myself a few phrases in the native language of whatever country I'm visiting. Even if they are fluent in English, I'm treated with a lot more respect for trying to use their language/respect local customs/etc.

I was gonna look up "barleyjack" but decided to watch a video of Talk Talk's "Such a Shame" 1986 Montreux performance instead.
Time well spent. |

I was also going to do this, but instead ended up watching "virtual insanity" by jamiroqui. It is still terrible.
What is barleyjack anyhow?

I actually did try to look up barleyjack and all I seemed to find was some band called "The Barkey Jacks". Suffice to say, I am still confused. |
