[quote]We prove that God has said a thing[/quote] really? what differentiates what you believe (but cannot prove through any objective means whatsoever) god said from what the lds followers believe he said to joseph smith? anyone who requires or claims to supply proof of something that is essentially unprovable rebukes true faith which involves neither.
[quote]We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven.[/quote] pretty much what the first nations peoples believed--until the christians arrived convinced their god mandated them to kill them and steal their land.
[quote]as long as they swing from the political left[/quote] see, there's the problem. hilton doesn't represent the left anymore than whatshername represents the right. no true conservative wants government involved in such essentially private and personal matters as marriage. furthermore, for honest-to-for-real conservatives, there can be no such thing as "social" conservativism.
[quote]I'm also not sure if the Mujahedeen were strictly "terrorists". They did fight the Russian military after all. I don't know enough about that conflict to judge strategies.[/quote] how bout them uighurs? they're possibly not islamic terrorists because they're fighting the chinese military? or the chechnyans? not terrorists cuz they fighting the russians? how about the group who blew up the king david hotel? not terrorists because???
the pakistani military--specifically their isi intelligence agency--provided training, support, arms & supplies to the afghan taliban for years in order to destabilize afghanistan. unfortunately for everyone but the taliban, the isi apparently neglected to consider pushtun tribal allegiance on its side of the border. if the us hadn't abandoned afghanistan after using it as our proxy to defeat the ussr and had instead helped rebuild and normalize the place afterwards, the tal
[quote]And I thought most liberals[/quote] well, there ya go with that thinking stuff again. [quote]I for one do not know her well enough or nor have I seen enough of her interviews to toss her into such a broad group, disparaging or not.[/quote] but you do know me well enough or have read enough of my articles on this site as well as elsewhere to categorize me as a member of a broad group you consistently disparage? for quite some time i've refrained from ster
[quote]bimbo Sadly, this is how some deflect attention away from the real issues, by denigration of the participants and dismissively claiming those participants are 'unworthy' of the issues so why bother with them.[/quote] [quote]exactly. When they have no argument they go after the person. [/quote] [quote]except for the "bimbo" part. [/quote] i'm guessing those of you who were unhappy with me for having characterized this bimbo as a bimbo have never had a
seems as if, while speaking her mind and heart, she's been revealing more of hersself in a much less intellectual sense. pretty easy to find sources reporting a 2nd set of semi-nude pix has surfaced but i particularly like this one by l steven seiden who's identidied as "seattle spiritual living examiner" on the examiner dot com page on which this can be found. <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-7311-Seattle-Spiritual-Living-Examiner~y2009m5d6-Evangelical-Miss-California-Carrie-
[quote]Religion is the belief in things unseen.[/quote] no matter how much you believe, it ain't religion unless and until the plate is passed around.
[quote]Have you seen evolution? [/quote] have you seen subatomic particles? how about those forms of matter which constantly pass through us? if not, my brother, it's time to sign you up as a novice member of the church of subatomic particles and stuff passing through us. please send your check to PO Box 1134, land'o'goshen, ar. no stamps or gm stock certificates accepted.
[quote]This is a religion that worships him.[/quote] now you're gonna get paladin believing there's an obama religion as well as an evolution religion, not to mention the dozen or so religions he's instituted on behalf of people with whom he doesn't agree.
[quote]I was probably defending Truman for his decison to end the war.[/quote] that would be the one. i've been reminded of it several times including while watching ken burn's documentary about latter stages of the war in the pacific as well as those several feature films about okinawa from a couple years back.
[quote]articulate our thoughts in writing [/quote] i'd go check it out if i thought he spoke the same way he writes in one long statement without pausing for breath just lettin the words roll out one after another and another until his brain starved of oxygen because he don't pause to take a breath shuts down and he collapses whereupon his autonomic nervous system takes over causing him to breathe and he gets back up and begins talking again possibly even making some sorta minimal sen
last person i woulda expected to become a democrat. managed to come outta nowhere and make himself filthy rich, vehemently pro-gun, lives in a mansion so creepy it makes cheney's heart skip a beat. both he and cheney have had accidents involving firearms and their companions' faces. what really surprised me tho was learning ol phil was switchin parties less than a week after being convicted of murder.
one way to find out...and all it takes is water. not for waterboarding, by any means. dunking is a lot better way of sorting out who's tellin the truth and who ain't. dunk a couple from each side (homeland security officials and returning vets--both picked at random) and see who survives.
[quote]Who is pulling these strings causing panic?[/quote] whomever may be doing it now should be fired. no new cabinet-level departments of homeland bookcooking have been created. which is why we haven't seen any new colored charts indicating threat conditions, nobody has to take off their shoes to enter a bank or a car dealership. bring back cheney & rove dammit!
[quote]Why not subject me to torture to get to the truth in lieu of poking int my profile?[/quote] maybe bout the 183rd time she waterboarded you--not the 182nd or 181st much less the first 100--it'll finally break you and you can then point her to a ju discussion from a couple years ago in which you shared your perspective on the atomic bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki.
[quote]do you have an actual pertinent point? [/quote] yeah he's a douche. ain't like it's a big secret. so's donald trump who bought the pageant some years back to ensure himself a fresh crop of those young model types he craves. as i already mentioned, there's no "talent" judging involved. it already is an inappropriate venue for everything but perving. perez is clearly perverted so it all kinda works. why else would trump have
[quote]I spend way too much damn time here[/quote] not enuff. i'm barely around myself anymore and was really wondering where you'd wandered off to because i hadn't seen anything from you for months until maybe yesterday?
[quote]Where are the tentacles and tropical fish exchanges?[/quote] back in the good ol days i amused myself by starting a newsgroup entitled "alt-sex-animals-lamprey eels" to put that in perspective, here's an image of a lamprey eel at work literally drilling it's way into a salmon in order to literally suck it dry (and dead) and here's a pic of a lamprey eel's mouth (and to thi
[quote]Erathaniel and Lucas are two different kids. [/quote] for real? very similar writing style (whining style too, for that matter) but i trust your wisdom ms w. [quote]kingbee.....where're the links to this stuff?[/quote] i appear to stand corrected and i've removed the content of both comments. (my previous observations about intervenous porn injection techniques seem to me still appropriate). i guess too much porn done addled my brain.
shufflin my bare feet in the dust and chewin on a stalk of grass...
just whistlin and lookin all innocent--a technique exclusive to four-time convicted felons.
[quote]you helped celebrate so what does that make you?[/quote] the voice of one crying out in the wilderness 'good thing there's nothing more important to get all wound up over"? ain't as if the nuclear-armed pakistani government just rolled over and let the taliban take control of territory 60 miles outside their capital city or karzai just signed away the rights of afghan women.
[quote]this lisping a-hole is the perfect judge for the Miss America pageant[/quote] unlikely he'd wind up doin that. but since the event in question was not the miss america pageant but rather the miss usa contest...and since miss usa is owned by a non-lisping but no less obnoxiousl self-aggrandizing a-hole named donald trump...there just may be some sorta symbiosis at work here. there are big differences between the two pageants (snigger): miss usa has no talent compet
