[quote]Now, would you cite times and places in history when Judaism and Islam were opposed and critical of Lenin/Stalin's Communism?[/quote] Lula, Go spend a little time in Wikipedia (since you often source it). You might start with "History of the Jews in Russia." LINK LINK There was even a major conspiracy tra
[quote]That's not possible. There is nothing lower. The goal in this battle is the death of the other (at least on the Hamas side). Isreal should not give a rip what others think - it's their country that has been shelled relentlessly throughout the 'truce' & I hope they don't go all limp just because some armchair closet anti-semites get their nickers in a wad. A people who send their children as homicide weapons to kill & maim & be killed in the process deserve no respect or
This taken from Fox: LINK The expanding sun: If all else fails, the Earth will almost certainly come to an end in about 5 billion years when it falls into the expanding sun. It's perfectly natural — stars like ours simply turn into red giants near the end of their lifespans, and their inner planets become toast. Terrestrial inh
[quote]While WW2 war funding is not my area of expertise, if I recall my history lessons correctly, Great Britain was cash-strapped at the time, barely able to maintain their own military, and that's why they needed our help. [/quote] Nor mine, hence why I ask questions. I agree that in the end the Gov't spent a crap load during this time which definitely makes me wonder more of the long term. I can see how the 'spending our way out of a recession' worked (short
[quote]Yes we did 'spend our way into prosperity.' It was called WW2.[/quote] [quote]We were taught that the United States were giving Great Britain ships and supplies before we got involved in WW2,[/quote] LW, could it be because the other countries buying supplies from the US, before we entered, that acted as the catalyst for bringing towards prosperity?
[quote]dont forget the tax on farmers for every cow that they have... after all the farts from cows also pollute the air too![/quote] LINK Another reason why you stay away from the backend. [e digicons]:moo:[/e]
[quote]Much like America has been doing for decades upon decades. I remember when the entire "black history" took less than one page in school, no mention of what we did to the Japanese in WW2 on and on, I think all countries write REVISIONIST HISTORY and teach it as truth in school.[/quote] I don't know if it's taught as 'truth' per se but rather "they aren't gonna know anything different." Sadly, it wasn't until college that I learned how much involvement the US really had bef

[quote]Putin's a puppy dog in comparison, yet he totally lacks dignity and is nothing more than a thug at the end of the day. Never the less Russians still revere him, probably because when we tried to sort out their economy after the collapse of Communisim we made such a hash of it, sending the country into turmoil (and subsequently bringing great shame to these people), that eventually they would be willing to overlook certain 'issues' if the person responsible for them could promise to res
MM, One must remember that much of Stalin's playbook came from his predecessor V. Lenin. Lenin put a heavy emphasis on education and primarily education reform. They controlled what was being taught in the school systems. After the final collapse of the USSR in the early 1900's much of the education system still remained. This could be similarly compared to our media of today of Barak Obama (thou shalt not oppose). It
[quote]And you can send me $10 with a return envelope for the secret to long life.[/quote] Hey NC, we could throw in a raffle to auction off some ocean front property in Arizona (that I have)?
Happy Chanukah and/or Merry Christmas MM. I watch the national weather pretty closely as it has an affect on our stores. I can't imagine with all these storms having to deal with ALL of them. I hope you don't lose your house. That would just suck with all that you've been dealing with.
Merry Christmas FS!
~AD totally hijacks thread Leuki, how were you able to upload ur penquin picture? I went to update my picture and now I can't upload a picture in My Account. ~end hijacking. I only have to add that Phillip Berg is STILL trying to press this issue even after the FactCheck.org produced article. Considering Annenberg Foundation's ties to Obama I can see why one would want to see the ORIGINAL. That is All.
Wasn't an Ice Age declared in the 80's?
[quote]AD, Even though your comments were directed to KFC, I'd like to address them. [/quote] You may address them but please do not be offended if I am not inclined to respond. You and your Catholic Church have accepted the interpretations of the early Greek philosophers later to be known as "Church Fathers." Lula, the very fact that you see no difference between a Hebraic mindset and a Greek mindset tells me that it is frivolous to really engage in any ser

[quote]This is simply not true. Many Jews became Hellenized, that is, they spoke Greek, read Greek, so the Greek translation of the Torah was popular, just as the English translation is used in English countries, the Spanish in Spanish countries, and the German in Germany. At the time, there was a real struggle to not become Hellenized. Ptolemy was a bit more tolerant than the Selucid empires and ordered the Torah translated into Greek. But in general Greek styles were either rewarded or
[quote]The media of course report that the single idiot reporter is a "national hero", while the dozens of reporters who disagreed with him are hardly mentioned at all.[/quote] Yep, no praise for the reporters who reacted heroically in trying to prevent the second shoe being thrown and in assisting the capture of a criminal.
[quote]Yup...a "shoe in" for the job.[/quote] I thought it was funny when Bush commented that he saw the sole of the attacker.
[quote]Just because he wasn't killed as he would have been under a prior regime, does not excuse abusing a prisoner under the current one.[/quote] How do we know that these injuries didn't occur during his warranted beat down? Most of those who initiated the beat down looked like other reporters. If the abuse came later I agree but that assumes that these injuries weren't sustained when the guy behind and others threw him to the floor near chairs. I am thank

[quote]Note that maintaining a fire does not necessarily fall under the prohibition. There is a (small) Jewish sect (the Karaites) who believe that even making use of a fire on Shabbath is against G-d's law. They sit in the cold on Saturday.[/quote] I take it these sects restrict themselves to warmer climates? If I were to try that where I live, my pipes would be busted!
[quote]Hey AD, I still can't read 210, but at least we have a comment box now where there wasn't one before See ya![/quote] Did that fix the rest? It turns out pasting from MS Word breaks forum.
Did that fix it?
