Reply to Troops dispute study on Body Armour. in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

I always find it amazing how far from the original subject soome of these threads wander. From my original post about body armour to the information above shows just how far off topic some will go to try and defend the view they have when they have nothing to say on the orginal subject matter. Yes, truly it is incorrect and inappropriate to respond to other points made by other posters that are not within the strict confines of the actual article. Doing so must somehow invalida

Reply to Dow Jones Industrials Cross 11,000 in Politics JoeUser Forums

So why didn't it fall with the population when the babyboomers passed their prime and the Gen Xers came of age? ((((Which, btw would have been during the 90s... hmmmm))) The nations population has continued to grow despite the age of the boomers. This has been attributed to immigration. My point in bringing this up is that looking at the stock market is not an end-all, be-all indicator, nor even a reliable one of a nation's

Ah, yes, with the world population going up, the market will be bigger and bigger and trading numbers will tend to follow population growth. Bull v. Bear? Hardly. Any Econ. majors around?

Prove it. I can prove it has. Here is my proof : New York, or the US has not been attacked. Okay, so two things have occurred within a span of time; you can make the correlation but you can't make the cognitive jump in linking the two since that would require a great amount of speculation and rhetoric. Here's a brainteaser, provide me the evidence that New York will never be attacked. Feel free to fantasize and regard this question as hypothetical, even. Let's say Amer

That is because Bush had to go to a war that DID NOT NEED to be fought! I agree with that statement Col. Gene but I'll tell you - the thread Drmiler posted a scant fifteen days ago personally addressing you was luck . Pure luck. I had very much considered posting a thread addressing you at about the same time - it wouldn't have been nearly as mild as Drmiler's. You need to change your approach. Learn to temper your rhetoric, even... I and most of

Reply to Now we See why we cannot withdraw from IRAQ in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

...um, yeah, as, I said, the intent is probably very different. Stretch those braincells a bit and you'll probably reasonably assume that some may want troops to come home NOW because those individuals feel the troops lives aren't worth a battle that has little to serve American interests at large. 'Terrorists' may feel that troops leaving the theater grants them a symbolic win or are satisfied with 'American infidels' leaving their '

Reply to Secret Court unaware of Bush Eavesdropping in Politics JoeUser Forums

“Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree. Like with the Iraq war, just watch those poll numbers in support drop like a rock as soon as the results of the action become evident to the American people.<BR

Reply to "The Pursuit of Happiness": Not in the US Constitution. in Politics JoeUser Forums

Great article. I've found the Heritage Foundation to be one of my favorite thinktanks, replacing the Family Research Council Ralph Reed headed up back in the nineties. Just as the 'Right' to a 'Pursuit of Happiness' isn't found in the constitution or Bill of Rights, we should look at a parallel - the 'Right' to privacy.

Reply to Abramoff: A 'Republican' Fund Raiser? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Yet, dont you think it is strange that no democrats are jumping on this bandwagon? The majority of the blame will go to Republicans probably because Republican legislators (I think Pres. Bush recently disavowed some $7,000 dollars linked to Abramoff) received the majority of the comforts but the fact that Democratic legislators also received monies is telling. Telling us the two party system doesn't work.

Sorry MM but in this case "deference" is correct! Israel was created as a seperate country in 1948. Holy Dogshit! I got a boost from drmiler? !! Thanks. I guess I really should have been more specific, I can understand how MM could have taken my statement inocorrectly.. I wasn't quite sure of the date, I had initially thought '43, but knew that couldn't be right - thanks for helping set the record straight.

"I think it's because of the current Bush administration's policies .." That reads "current Bush administration policies". Not Mr. Bush himself..why is this being personalized as an attack on the President?

Reply to MSM: Ignore the man behind the Curtain in Politics JoeUser Forums

Under Bush, the Mine Safety and Health Administration has worked more closely with mine owners than under previous presidents, according to union officials. The government has formed formal ''partnerships" between companies and agency officials and is shying away from imposing heavy fines and sanctions, said Phil Smith, a spokesman for United Mine Workers of America. ''They've gone from being an agency that enforces the regulations and puts p

Why is it when A JEW kills he is a murderer and when A Palestinian kills he is a hero and freedom fighter? Palestine was already present before Israel was created after World War II as a place for displaced Jews, I think that is why some are more sympathetic to Palestinians. To Put Sharon as a Murderer and then put Yasser Arafat as a man of peace Yasser was certainly as despicable a man as Sharon, just because

If Prs. Bush has a secret government agenda to undermine civil liberties, he'd better hurry. He's moving way to slow to be able to enjoy the totalitarianism he's after. ;~D I somehow doubt he's going through "all this trouble" to help the next president enjoy the fruits of his labor. Who knows, it could be a {{gasp}} democrat! There are both Republicans and Democrats who, throughout the years, have consistently provided groundwork and laying of an infrastructure tha

..but then again I can't remember if you've ever said you support anything Prs. Bush has done. - Parated2k I did voice my support, here in the hallowed halls of JU for Bush's nominee - Mr. John Roberts. Just to remind some: Back in the 2000 campaign I volunteered at the local GOP campaign HQ to help elect candidate Bush. His only promise back then fullfilled today is his originalist judge pick.
