Plus the reasoning given for said war seemed, and still seems faulty to me. Now that we're there, tho', I recongize the merit of the old saying 'in for a penny, in for a pound.' Does that mean I favor it? No. It's the fact that if we leave now, things will be worse. Thanks you. Sorry for the splash dam
The word "God" isn't just the preferred name of the Christian deity, it's also a generic term meaning ANY deity...Allah, Buddha or Satan. It could be defined to mean any god of one's choosing. Only those with extremely thin skin choose to be offended. I guess I will have to go back to my Middle Eastern
the reason it seems there are more gay people now than 40 years ago isnt because its become some sorta fad, but that it's no longer acceptable to persecute homosexuals outright. I personally think it is a fad. When movies like "In and Out" says the main character is Gay because he talks a cretin way an
Everything we say and do boils down to the fact that we show (too much) compassion to our fellow man. And let's face it, not just the American people, although we are the wealthes
I'm just want to say that during WW2 we also did some other bad things. I think we all know about the SS murdering captured GIs during the Battle of the Buldge. But do you know that Roosevelt had nine Germany POWs lined up in Oklahoma and shot in response? The Germans never did execute prisoners again, because they learned we would go as far as we did. It is OK to hold restrains on what we do to prisoners, but in my opinion the knowledge that we ca
Consider the impact on a worker who selects the private account option wherein the value of their account at the time of retirement was less than the total benefits that would be paid under the traditional Social Security amount. Would there be a provision to subsidize the payment of the amount received under the individual retir
t this isn't really hurting anybody like that, is it? Ya, I know, but I have a constitutional right to bitch and moan all I want. But would it really hurt anybody by droping the state
Be honest. What is "In God we Trust" or "Under God" in the pledge really hurting? The Supreme Court ruled way back in the 60s that nobody could be forced to say the pledge. So what's the beef, eh? For me (maybe not for others) it is the perfect example of Go
"one nation under God" They are statements that go all the way back to the beginning of our nation This statement don't go back to our nation's founding
CariElf, terpfan1980 and Myrrander All of you make good points. Personally, I have no problem with Boy Scouts or any groups with religious ties using public areas. I just have a problem, when at a government event, any type of religion is brought in by the organizers. If a pray group wants to use a class room during non class times in a school, I'm fine with that. But no invocation should be given at a graduation, but a moment of silence
Subscribers to the four papers tend to be older, higher in rank and more career-oriented than the military as a whole. The poll has a margin of error of 2.6 percent. I think that is probably the most telling statement right there. That's why I added that the enlisted members also agree with t
Troops retain strong support for war By Robert Hodierne Times staff writer Despite a year of ferocious combat, mounting casualties and frequent deployments, support for the war in Iraq remains overwhelming among the active-duty military, according to the 2004 Military Times Poll. Sixty-three percent of respondents approve of the way President Bush is handling the war, and 60 percent remain convinced it is a war worth figh
In case you hadn't noticed, the subject of this thread has to do with how lucky these countries are that they have taken part in one of the worst natural disasters of the last century. The one off topic is you. You want to defend how these cou

Sorry Draginol for going off subject. (But this maybe an example about your internet subject come true) I'm going to say this once more! You can NOT blame Bush for outsourcing! The jobs that left do NOT belong to the government and hence are NOT under Bushs

We also donate over half the worlds humanitarian food aid. (not calculated in, because it is not hard cash) I also hear all the time how the US keeps sticking our nose into other countries with that aid and it does more harm then good. That's My Two Cents PS: As a side note, the UN required Iraq to purchase all of its food aid during sanctions. All of

Considering that the Supreme Court of the United States decided that a Florida recount should be stopped while were discussing the legitimacy of all of the votes cast to make sure every vote counted The misstatement here is that the Supreme Court judged tha
You really shouldn't be discussing politics. David, my politics is my politics, if you don't like it then don't listen to me. Many on this site already consider that you should stay out of politics as well. While I will look at both sides of an issue to co
Pat, pat, Yaaaa, one more point for us. If we leave now we doom 50 million people. War is a serious matter for grownups This is one of the troops, we don't want your support. That's My Two Cents
Instead of the Iraqi dictator, we're likely to see an extreme Islamist terrorist state in place of Saddam. Most likely if you get your way, we will. The only chance these people got is for us to stick to it, your just wanting to throw them to the hounds. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=
Just be glad this is happening at the state level and not national this year. P.S. I never liked a all mail in election anyway. Just leave to many hole in the system.
It is just sad how the Anti-War crowd is just dancing with glee and spot lighting every family heart break. Please show the families and soldiers still there some respect, and stop it. While your enjoying every set back, because it helps bolster your selfish point, people are trying to finish the job so that millions of Iraqi families will not feel the anguish when the next theocracy/dictatorship your enfor
The sad thing is some people think this poem is thier way of supporting the troops. What a twisted world we live in. That's My Two Cents
