And my second question has to do with self-interest. Do you believe acting in one's self-interest is automatically immoral? Wouldn't you agree that often, acting in your own interest IS the moral thing to do in certain circumstances? I certainly agree with you on that. and I am surprised that you say:
A liberal stands in a poor person's shoes and says..."I wish I had some money." They then lobby for more entitlements.A Conserative stands in a poor person's shoes and says..."I wish I had a JOB." They then lobby for legislation that encourages economic growth. Before i answer your question, let
If everyone empathized with complete strangers like they do with people they know, are close to, or even just identify with, we would probable all go mad First, I apologize for not responding as promptly as i would have liked to, i was away on business and didnt even have a chance to log on.
I did hear that the Muslims are expecting their Messiah (12th Imman) to come out of a well in a cave That is not true at all. Main-stream Muslims (i.e the majority of Muslims) believe that The Messiah is Jesus who will come back somehow. The 12th Imam is a Shia idea and even they dont see him as the M
There is nothing more dishonest than being morally inconsistent. if someone is immoral in a consistent way at least you can argue with them based on what their values are and try to show them that they are on the wrong side of the issue. However, when they are morally inconsistent you know that they know what the right side of the issue is since they go there wheneve
you do not have to support the president in order to support the troops but you do have to stop telling the troops that they are worthless becouse of the president i cant beleive that you are that stupid. if your brother is a bully sending his kids to a useless fight, would you cheer the kids or tell your brother to stop sending them and call them back? Our Troops CAN NEVER be worthless. The mission they are on CAN BE. and No
Our troops are there because of oil. That's why our gasoline prices are so low. true. unfortunately we did not achieve even that. the trouble we started made it worse. so at this point we losing troops, treasure and also jeopardizing the stability of the oil market for us and for the whole world. how is that for a dumb adventure?
non of which is a good reason to belittle the troops where in the world did you hear or read that ANYONE, Democrats in particular, belittling the troops? When are you blind supporters of this war shut up and face the reality? your trick of hiding behind the troops is an old hat by now. stop using the troops as your cover. they deserve more honorable status than being your hiding screen. The troops are under a military code, they go wh
Last I check you were no expert on Muslim thinking so if you want to base your opinion on a hypotesis be my guest but you are no more sure of why they do what they do than anyone on this site is. Dont be soooo sure. I can assure you what he said is 100% correct. If you live with them and talk to the pe
a little resentment comon now. you used this word few times. with all what you said, is it really "little". If that happens to you, you really would be a "little" resentful? i would be furious. and that is what i believe they feel.
if this act that was to be done by the Six was not a terrorist act, then what was it? simple, it is part of "their " war against us. The problem here is that you are discussing this as if it is an isolated incident not part of their strategy. that is the kind of "Army" they can assemble, small
When you don’t separate combatants from non-combatants your saying there’s no living on the same planet as you, and we want all of you to die isnt that what we did in Alhadetha and many other situations in Iraq? war is Ugly, terrible and have much more innocent victims than combatants. So is T
War - a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air Terrorism - the use of violence and threats
Do you understand what is required to prevent these things? Take a moment to think about just how much liberty we would have to give up to obtain the degree of security you are asking for. Until we understand the reason behind terrorism we can never obtain any degree of security against it. as i said many times, it is like a fatal traffic accidents at a faultily-designed intersection. unless you redesign it, there will always be fatal accidents no matter
I told him to send the customer over to me and the short baldy coped a serious attitude. Send the customer to you? are you a bus? or a train? or may be you were just flying HIGH? so no one is allowed to ask you to pick them up? are you sure you are a taxi driver????? that is what they do, you know. pick people up. .
Oh, found this on the Vegan Society's website Do you really think these fools actually read things like that? people like that are not even fit to care for themselves let alone a baby.
it is perfectly apparent that the Medinaan verses have really sealed the fate of the infidels living in a pure Islamic society Again, you say half truthes. Where did you get "pure Islamic Society" from? in fact that description, if it exists, apply to a society where ALL people, regardless of their religion, live in peace under the accommodating rules Islam guaranteed for others who are not Muslims. it is all written in many verses. what you s
2:193 And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers. [87, Medina ] I would like to get a definite answer from the lovers of Islam. Please forward a clear, unambiguous answer-not some mumbo jumbo of context, translation difficulty and exhortation of having 'misconception' about Islam. Very clever, really. <
the only thing wrong with your statement is that all of islam is taught to hate non islam And on what basis are you saying that? It is always nice to follow your own advice Could you site your source please and please dont site someone's opinion. tell me what islam says that makes you say that.
Yesterday you were claiming 35 million live at or near poverty, and that would be only 10% of our population. Today you've doubled that figure You are right, and the numbers i have seen range from 10 to 20 %. But regardless of the actual numbers, the whole picture still valid. Links will not get you co
Yet here you just wiped out over $3 trillion dollars of the economy with a pen stroke. true. isnt that what you guys like to do. i wiped it out assuming there will be no taxes to bring these funds in. what is the problem? isnt that the goal? to keep these funds out form the government budget. Tell me ho
This is soooo wrong. My score is 3, then I am conservative???? no way. I am telling you Draginol, the Bees are buzzing in your ears and making you do things with strange results. No way i am conservative .... like you
According to the wise thinking conservatives, Government's essential and ONLY duties are: Defense, Security, Highways, Dams, Canals and Diplomacy. That is it. Let me add "disaster relief" to this short list. Many of them will complain about that. But I will add it anyway. No more SS, Medicare, Medicaid, EPA, OSHA, Energy, Education, Health, Housing, Labor a
It's hard not to get frustrated with you when you say such idiotic things. Not me who is getting you frustrated. it is the logic. You still saying that you can make $5 out of that $1 and hire more people even though i answered that. you will hire more people and make 500% ROI, even though there is no
If I can turn every $1 of capital into $5 then when the government takes that $1 much of it is lost to beauracracy. Hence, only around 25 cents gets to the recipient..... Draginol the other 75 cents go to others (the beauracracy) and are used similarly. in effect they go back into the market where they
