I think you're assuming a bit too much when you say if people had more power (more say) they would screw it up as a matter of course. One always budgets their own money carefully. Faceless government corporations don't need to. There's the rub. They can spend however they want to, even as far as paying strip club bar tabs with taxpayer dollars. Give the individual a bit of credit.
I think you're wrong in supposing this is not a case of hate but only of people protecting strangers' property. Going to get friends and returning for violence is what gives it all away. A Guy Who Is Doing What's Right / A Guy Who Wants To Protect Strangers' Property Would a good citizen who only wants to protect property/do the right thing go and get some friends and return with a metal bat and yell racial slurs (niggers colored spade
Mason you sell yourself short. "I'm just not smart enough to realize just how futile it really is I guess" You already know how futile things can be, and you acknowledged it. Give yourself at least some credit.
" Col, quoting an anti-Bush book is not providing facts. Try again" Actually IslandDog you're foolish to say that. One needs to look at the supposed facts that are being stated. To dismiss before hearing anything about it is ignorant. I read from both sides and make judgements based upon observation, not on what the author's politics are. What the hell's the matter with you?
This is a truly refreshing line of thought coming from a pro-Bush fellow. The proverbial Bush supporters always act predictably, which is verbal attacks of deflection. And this takes different forms, the most extreme being the mainstream media being accomplice by deliberately not reporting on stories which are being extensively reported on in other parts of the world. It's a good question you pose and it's always lost in the political muddle. So what w
You invoke the word of God into this fiasco? Yeah. Who, in your opinion, would Jesus bomb? I believe this thread to be a satire or just for the fun of it all. Bush's speech gave nothing new and it was in fact another repeat of his past lies which have killed thousands of his own men. And the guy actually invited the freedom fighters to come and try kill them! Never in the history of the US has a commander in chief invited an enemy to come and attack hi
Sorry Miller can you maybe elaborate on that comment? It makes no sense and is not, to my mind, part of the conversation. Grow up? Why exactly? I'm only for international law. The same laws your nation drafted and signed on to. YOU need to grow up and by that I mean you need to read some history. You're ignorant to the facts.
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/5/30/193632.shtml Well there are witnesses who say otherwise. When they're allowed to speak that is. While any article should be considered thoroughly, for me, the clincher is the fact that the Gitmo witnesses speak of their torture experiences involving dogs. We all know the evil GI interrogators were using vicious dogs on the detainees. This is another example of facts being skewed. I shudder to thin
Oh Mason don't be so anal. One feels bad for innocent dead. One feels bad for victims of a tornado. One feels bad for people who die from food poisoning courtesy of JackInTheBox...you do not expend valuable misgivings over the death of someone who enters another country armed with killing/widow-making equipment. It's like a guy who dies from a parachute accident....."Oh I'm so sorry to hear about Bob, it's so tragic. How did it happen?.....WHAT??!!?? H
You musn't feel bad about the dead servicemen. I saw the MSNBC story on this event and the side headline is "Afghan Tragedy" as if it were an act of God or an act of nature or something. It's no tragedy, it's an act of war. A war the servicemen crossed the ocean to fight. A war they left their families to fight. It's a lot of things but it's not tragic. It's brutal. 'Tis war. It's bloody. 'Tis war. One thing is confusing. Why would you give Bush a clea
I can do it and if I can anyone can. I usually change .jpg files to .bmp files when I want to be able to zoom in more easily.
Hmm. I hope your kids aren't as dumb as you all seem. The US signs on to an accord which prohibits the use of napalm. The US creates another napalm bomb and changes its name. The US drops napalm on civilians, I say it's illegal and in violation of international laws the US signed on to. Then I'm clueless? I have to wonder if it's simply your knowledge that I'm wholly right on this issue. And you know it's easy to see? Because the way you losers start w
"I hope one of the first homes to be "eminent domained" belongs to a supreme court justice, or a liberal senator, then we will see if equal protection under the law, falls to the wayside too" That will not happen and for a simple reason. You're making the mistake of thinking it's going to be some sort of equal ground between the common Joe and the affluent lawmakers. Think about this people, before you make up some bullcrap excuse as to how th
Before you silly chickenhawks spew words that are much less than the truth you ought to check things out beforehand. Colonel Mike Daily, of the US Marine Corps. "On March 22 a Herald correspondent, Lindsay Murdoch, travelling with US marines, reported that napalm was used in an attack on Iraqi troops at Safwan Hill, near the Kuwait border. His account was based on statements by two US marines officers on the ground". http://
Does it matter if the US uses illegal weapons of mass destruction specifically banned as a war crime? Well, to the ones who aren't ignorant yes it does matter. Since the answer to this question is too hot and obvious for anyone here, the ignorant, to respond to, I shall only conclude this won't get any worthy responses. There are two issues I'd like to deal with h
I thought this article/link interesting. Decades ago two books provided vital clues to one possible cause for the alarming increasing incidence of all forms of cancer. Though aimed at widely different readerships, both books looked at possible connections between vitamin deficiency and disease. "World Without Cancer" by Edward Griffin of California examines the growing conviction that vitamin B17 appears capable of preventing the onset of all forms
If you want to sue the immediate actions you took will and should forgo that. A manager should have been called, a fuss should have been created, and you should get witnesses immediately after the incident. Without witnesses you're lost. I and my kids love WalMart as well. All our shopping happens there.
"ummmm...Durbin did apologize. And Democrats said he was out of line. Karl Rove hasn't apologized, in fact, the White House backed him" Ha. Someone's been skimming the papers a little too quickly. Not that the papers were saying anything important.
If one has to choose between a law that keeps a known pedophile sex offender a certain distance away from the very type of people he likes to sexually assault, or to have no laws that would keep a known pedophile sex offender a certain distance away from the very type of people he likes to sexually assault, I'd opt for the former. Reforming The Prisons With the US jails bursting as the seams with more on the way, that's an impossibilit
Are you sure it's only 'liberals' who are creating this apparent fiasco?
This may become a bigger issue than anyone may think. There's no doubt in the universe that the US is becoming more of a totalitarian society every day. There are armed machine gun toting military/policemen in New York. There is the new student database being used to track all of America's kids for possible future military contact. News people have lost their jobs for stating what they believe to be true. Meanwhile, Bush's Administration use fake news
Interesting perspective on this issue Wahine. Like you, our house is fairly safe for infants. And we never ever ever let our boys (8, 5, and 1months old ) go to the playgrounds by themselves, of the store, or anywhere unless my wife or I are there to supervise. It's easy to make yourself think you're safe and the "it can't happen to me" phrase, but to me that's lowering your guard and the only thing that benefits are the forces of evil. It sounds clic
Baker you're out of order here. The Holocaust specifics you mention are wholly valid and deserving of answers. My only only issues with the Hololcaust are the ones you apparently read but not too closely. What I asked, and what you still have not answered, is why, if the gassings in Auchwitz were going full steam in mid 1944, were there no vent openings on the roof of the alleged gas chamber. For spoonfeeders like you I shall list the issues again, and
A simple thought from a twisted mind. Nice.
Ask all the questions you like. Never fear anything from me. The blacklist is actually a mental health preserver. The likes of ShadowWar and Dr.Guy need the blacklist so they can basically cover their ears and yell so they don't have to hear sanity in its most basic form. That day will never come for me; the day I blacklist someone is the day I can't stand on my own two feet during a debate. No, it's only the weak-minded-backed-into-a-corner fools who
