The funny part about this whole thing is, Liberals cringe when they hear Conservatives say that the US is a Christian nation, and the Conservatives cringing when the Liberals call (most of it) "Jesusland". OH THE IRONY!!!!!! ;~D

I notice a lot of people, while discussing the "up armor" situation, forget is that the conversion entails more than merely putting armor and balistic glass on a HMMWV. A HMMWV is designed to carry anywhere between 1.5 to 2.5 tons (depending on configuration), if they use up all the payload in armor, the vehicle will become pretty useless. The conversion must include adjustments to the suspension, transmission and other parts of the vehicle

"defense mechanism: noun: (psychiatry) an unconscious process that tries to reduce the anxiety associated with instinctive desires." So, what you are trying to bore me with is the defense that mass murder should be considered "an unconscious process that tries to reduce the anxiety associated with instinctive desires." Got me there, I guess in your little world an appropriate way to reduce your anxiety is to just shoot somebody, or may

Even so, those who initiate aggravation upon others, will usually ahve it reflected back to them, don't you understand its a fucking defense mechanism.

I tell me kids the truth, I tell them that if they give me reason to suspect, then I will exercise my right as a parent to read their Email, listen in on their converstations, and even go to class with them to make sure they are going. Anyone who tells my kids that I have no right to pry into their privacy (especially if my kids' actions give me cause to worry) is a liar and a complete waste of human flesh. Is that plain truth e

I'll just chime in on the issue with this... I have always maintained that it is just as constitutional to protest any war as to fight in it; the same goes for protesting any other action of our government. Freedom works both ways. If people feel that they would be more at home in Canada, Germany, France, Zimbabwe, Iraq, or anywhere else, by all means, they should pursue their happiness. People move out of the US everyday, people al

Reply to Politician Who Won't Say Pledge May Be Recalled in Politics JoeUser Forums

There's no law or procedure that says this person has to stand and declare this a nation under God, so I don't think they should have to. True, he has every right to refuse to stand or recite the pledge. On the other hand, the voters have every right to decide whether they want to recall him for it.<br

Sorry but the coursts are right, they invaded his privacy. Dispite what he did, it does not give you the right to spy on him. It is not "spying", the phone didn't belong to the kid, it belonged to the parents. If a kid gives his or her parents reason to suspect illegal activity, it is the parent's resp

You simply can't pick and choose which laws you'd like to follow and which ones you'd like to ignore Judges make that choice every day, they choose what evidence, what arguments and what "facts" can be presented by either side of the case. That is their job. We pay them to think, if they can't

Reply to Oooh, That's So Typical of You! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Part of the stereotype problem comes with the use of political buzzwords. "Pro-Choice" & "Pro-Life" do not come near to describing all the variations there are in being one or the other. If a person claims to be "pro choice" does that mean they are for abortion in general; for abortion on demand; for the right to choose anything or just the right to choose abortion? Then we have "pro life". Does that mean you are against abortion in

Hoo-AH!!! When I get into discussions about females in combat units I always point out the lessons learned in Desert Storm. I have never found any of these statistics published anywhere, but as a radio operator at command level in an Army airborne unit, these are the kind of statistics that passed through my commo equipment, to the company grade staff officers and on to the Colonel's morning briefing. The facts are:

No activism here. All nine judges in agreement basically saying if you want parental exception in the state statute legislate it. That may be true, but the fact remains that the judges completely ignored the fact that it is the parents, not the kid that owns the telephone. The judges assume that just b

Excellent "letter"!!! You are right, once the euphoria of such an all encompassing political victory wears off, we Repubicans will realize that the curtain is open and it's critic's night at the opera. Let's hope we do better in establishing our vision of a Great America than the Democrats did when they were producer, director and starring role.

I thought, although I have to question whether two white actors would have been allowed the same leeway in the other direction. The Mel Brooks classic "Blazing Saddles" is the example I use on this subject. It was a great spoof on the issue of racism. It was an equal opportunity destoyer, leaving no

What makes you conclude that the controversy wasn't figured into it?? Schedule an art show, complete with the piece that is sure to bring controversy. As a result of the problems caused by the perceived problems, cancel the whole show . Then, after the press, forums and bloggers have had their way with it, open the show again, spotlighting the controversial piece. Since the show wouldn't have been known outside of local art circles, conju

When it is humor and not war I think it is a good way to induce societal catharsis. Oh, I agree that humor is a great way to deal with serious issues, but I don't think that racism one direction justifies racism in the other direction. Of course, not everything raced based is racist either.
