Could you be a bit more specific as to who you are talking about, like are they Americans or Iraqis? - DjBandit Sure, I have a Pakistani room mate who has lived in the U.S. for ten years, now, I've kept in contact with a French Muslim whom I met in college who immigrated from Tehran and is here as part of the student exchange program, and if you listen to the majority of Muslim scholars and religious leaders, they continually point out

Reply to Who in the World is Paul Bourne? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

It's difficult for me to even be able to read Paul's articles - sometimes I get a joeuser message saying 'nulld string' and the article doesn't load up. I was once able to peruse one article which had many unidentifiable characters in it. I left a post for Paul telling him about the problems of getting to his articles, reading them, and even posting comments back to them but never received an answer. I'm guessing the guy has a backlog of old articles he's simply posting to J

I won't leave you hangin' too long, Singrdave, I'm working on a decent response as opposed to simply giving you rhetoric without links, maybe this will be a new article, I've been working on several and have been really too busy to be on JU lately other then to leave 'post and run' messages.. Thanks for your open-minded inquiry...it deserves a good answer...

Reply to Nintendo Revolution sets it price - well not really in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

I'm glad to see Nintendo trying to keep things steady, price - wise. Let's hope Revolution launches before the PS3 so there will actually be gamers left to buy the system. I'm excited about the ability to play previous system games on it - even if it's through some discombobulated online system. When I played 360, the 'new' graphics didn't impact me as much and I began to wonder at why one would plunk down 400+ dollars for higher r

Reply to So Many Agencies - So Much 'Protection' in Politics JoeUser Forums

Like all government agencies, they are "here to help!" - Daiwa Good point, and thank you for the kind words on Wahine's thread. I don't think of myself as a leftist, but I guess I could work with that, how's this: "fiscal, social, pro-life, conservative civil liberty libertarian, government accountability orientated - leftist" Ah, much more fitting. Yes, I think some government agencies are helpful, obvious

Reply to Staying The Course=More of The Same in Politics JoeUser Forums

Why do we keep tolerating this shit? 'Cause we're supporting the troops, Goddammit, by asking they continue to keep their lives on the line no matter what questions are asked or continued uncovered evidence mounts supporting opposition to continued occupation. That's why we need no questions, or facts - to comfort the 'enemy' against continued occupation. In fact. Stop all this talking... ..right

That wasn't my point and you know it - Rightwinger No, actually I don't know what your point was unless it was even more highly detrimental to an argument for the Iraq war. I try to work with a threshold, here... Seriously, what was your point I missed in regards to the quote in question?

Reply to JU Conservatives Behave Like Snarling Trolls in Politics JoeUser Forums

I noticed from the very first time I came to JU that the neocons here consistently resorted to insults in their arguments. - Benuser Neo-Con being the key word... BenUser, everyone comes to a website with a bit of fire, not planning on making their stay...if you choose to make JU your home, your rhetoric will become tempered - or you'll leave in disgust. ..and that's a good thing. Welcome.

Reply to Mrs. Clinton throws rocks from her glass house in Politics JoeUser Forums

You are very accurate to show the history of Republicans providing liberty service to blacks and to show how their contribution has been historically greater. I do also think this is an argument inappropriate applied to the poor analogy Mrs. Rodham - Clinton is attempting to present. Man, go for the jugular.

Of course we're ready for a long war. - MasonM Of course, that's the reason Pres. Bush handling of the war has seen such dramatic poll improval since the beginning of the war.
