hipaa= you bascially need it now to work in hospitals for patient information privacy guidelines</p>

<p>lastly,</p>

<p>why yes, it is a United reference, i'm a born mancunian, loved United all my life</p>

5

<p>all right! you and i 'll get on all right if we both make it in. check out my scholes-plastered myspace. </p>

<p>yeah, you look great. just luck of the draw really, it's all about presentation. SAT's arent gauranteed to be a factor for columbia, cuz they "may not be able" to recieve/evaluate january scores. but yeah, with proper essays and stuff, it ought to go well for you. your EC's are great, and very columbian</p>

<p>GLORY GLORY UNITED</p>

6

<p>thanks man, its good to see a fellow United fan. </p>

<p>hey, i'll talk to you on AIM about United lol.</p>

<p>THERE's ONLY ONE UNITED</p>

7

<p>Mancester United? LOL</p>

8

<p>yep, why, do we have another fan?</p>

9

<p>They suck. Real Madrid rules!</p>

10

<p>whoa whoa whoa, i dont wanna get into a debate, but how many managers have you had in the past 4 years?</p>

11

<p>or they would, if they would start buy footballers instead of marketing chips to sell kits. beckham? puh-lease (no offence, treble champs, if you still like him). and Owen? then they don't even play him? c'mon! geez. becks, figo, zidane (granted, the best ever, but he's tackling no one), guti.......where's the defence? geez....and one of your defenders is RC (the lad is sick and i love him, but again!!!)</p>

<p>haha, TC, just read that. haha, that's good. and where do they run after they get fired?</p>

12

<p>Real Madrid has Ronaldo :)</p>

13

<p>well i still like beckham, because he really is a united player, but i agree with you, he's just a marketing puppet.</p>

<p>yeah, i totally agree with everything you just said-summed it up perfectly.</p>

14

<p>ooo. send him to us, we'll let 19-year-old wayne rooney give him some pointers on his form. he could use it. or RVN could demonstrate the mechanics of football to him. and proper hairstyling. really. though there's no denying zidane has cornered the market on hair fashion</p>

15

<p>I am pretty sure Argentina is going to win next year's FIFA World Cup.</p>

16

<p><em>falls out of chair laughing</em></p>

17

<p>ha, no way argentina</p>

<p>i'd like to say england, cuz of rooney, who is absolutely brilliant, but my pick has got to be brazil, they attack beautifully</p>

<p>btw, this is turning into the best thread on CC lol</p>

18

<p>certainly. but brazil also has that problem.</p>

<p>Ronaldo, Adriano, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Ze Roberto, Baptista, plus about 4 more i can't remember. What do you do with them? Who's making the tackles?</p>

19

<p>that's true, but they have lucio in their defence. eh, i think they attack too much to let the other team put anything good together.</p>

<p>it doesn't really matter, what matters is that United have 7 wins in 8 matches-watch out chelski!</p>

20

<p>Well, whoever wins, I want to see Senegal kick France's ass again :)</p>
