Yet, they haven't bothered to offer a shred of evidence of that, Doc. I'm to the point of believing they, or their source, made it up. I don't believe for a second that they'd hold back on that story if they had the goods.
"But when looking at the world, as a whole, I think there is something wrong with Islam as it is practiced in many places because, for whatever reason, it seems to breed more than its share of people who want to commit horrific violence in its name." I'd have to disagree, because if you look at everyone else there, they resort to horrific violenc
Eventually, people learn to separate individual, personal belief from what other people do. Or they don't. Maybe some people aren't capable of it. It's like government. We hate republicans, democrats, hippy greenie people, but for the most part we still accept the ability of people to govern themselves. We don't become anarchists because Nixon resigns, we move on. With religion, though, if the ecclesiastical equivalent of a political party fails, it taints the whole IDEA of religio
Where you and I disagree is that I do think Islam is different from other religions. I think it's also an ideology. But that disagreement doesn't dominate my correspondence with you. I may have different opinions than you on other issues as well but there's caring about an issue and caring about it. Very true, and mainly it is because I don't see
"With all due respect, you err Bakerstreet. The doctrines which make up the one, true, catholic and apostolic Church are not man-made. They were given her by CHrist , and can not or ever will be changed. The CC teaches all that Christ taught , whether His teaching was explicit or implicit. St.John 21:25. " WOW, then somehow I have stepped into an
"According to truth or fiction, some of this is truth and some fiction and some they are still researching." No, I think the presumption is that there isn't a conspiracy to serial murder until there is proof of one. How many things stay secret in politics? Yet you think someone could kill off half that many people and somehow keep hold of all t
When you step that far beyond Bush, O'Reilly, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, who do you find yourself standing out there with? Do you want to be out there in the same group with them? I sure wouldn't.
This is a reference to the statement in question this blog "You hate me, Baker...because I dare to question the motives of a people you, in your vast wisdom, have chosen simply to accept. I resist your supposed logic...your wisdom; I don't just go ahead and accept them simply on the basis of yo
"I make a distinction between race and religion/ideology. Replace the word Muslim with Nazi and does it seem so implausible?" Would he be wondering if she was caucasian? One of the women I was talking about wasn't even Islamic, she was just an Indian who wears a traditional head covering (no idea what that is called). She was just smar
Stuff starts sagging no matter how much aerobics you do, so you have to do SOMETHING to be relevant again.
"Two days ago, it was Obama who went to a radical muslim school. Now, it's Bill Clinton's death list. Do you expect full writer rights on this one?" This has been circulating since 1998.
I've warned people countless times and reported the fact that it doesn't matter if you hit delete or cancel, the article goes regardless. When I do that I do a ctrl-alt-delete and kill the browser so that it won't send an answer to the question at all. So far as I know, that bug has been around since the first day I came to JU. It has caused me to lose more than one comment and article.
James McDougal: Suffered from heart disease and blocked arteries. He had ALREADY cooperated and told them everything he knew and gotten his deal for a reduced sentence. If he was killed, it is odd that they waited until he'd already given everything he knew. I could go on, but you could just check snopes about these silly emailings and save us the typing.
"Were the Nazi's superstious? Were they afraid of God? I don't think so." No, they were afraid of their own people. Because of the cultural biases they could get away with what they did to the Jews, and the homosexuals, etc. It might not have gone so well for them had they started dragging priests off to the ovens. <TABLE cellpadding=8
"They do not like being compared to terrorists. And, I can tell you,the majority abhor terrorist acts." Just as we don't like being called 'little eichmanns'. When I did a thing on 'Kurtlar Vadisi Irak' , Americans felt pretty strongly about it. Is 24 more accurate than 'valle
"thaks daiwa...it's always nice to find common ground" NO IT ISN'T!!!
In my experience the money isn't really there to be made on cut-rate systems. I have a hard time believing anyone can do it by hand cheaper than Dell. The money I have made has come from people who want quality and are willing to pay for it. On higher-end systems Dell STILL has to make their prices competitive. They just save money on the parts that people don't ask about. People that hire me to build systems for them want the whole thing to be good, and not just a system with a few
"They didn't hate us enough...Islam is NOT violent, but people can be, especially when they are poor, uneducated, unemployed, hungry, and fearful." Hear, hear.
I consider them the lowest form of scum, sharing positions with child molesters and old-lady rapists. I've worked in the 'we-serve-the-projects' credit business, and I rank the people who own these places around the same level as Osama bin Laden. I don't advocate violence against them, but if every one of them burst into flames at once I wouldn't shed a tear. As a matter of fact I'd probably have to stifle a giggle. I think if our nation really had any values we wouldn't even ponder t
"What they're really afraid of, in my opinion, is that the American people will start to see them as the threat they are, rather than the simple, peaceful people the MSM snaitizes them to be." Glen Beck on Islam: <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Te
"Bakerstreet: Write more. Be brilliant and moody and snarky with every keystroke." I'll try, but it's so hard to be moody and snarky, you know? Maybe I'll take some acting classes... LOL...
It's not much different than the age-old rant about how good lit is so difficult to market while they have no-names churning out a dozen harlequin romances a year. The difference online is that there is at least a lit community that reads printed work, heck you can even win a Nobel Prize and not have a slice of percent know who the hell you are. Online, you're screwed. The table is just too damned big. Given the means to publish to a worldwide audience, anyone will. All those anyone
Online poetry sites always remind me of the old days, where you'd see these publishers that advertise "contests" in the back of magazines. They said they'd choose x number of poems to be printed in their anthology, but you found that they just published them all and sold them to the people who they printed solely. They knew each person would buy one for mom and grandma, so they'd turn a profit without actually having to MARKET the poets. I don't see this as any different. They don'
To me it always comes back to what I heard Ted Nugent (of all people) say once. If you want to be successful in life, make yourself of use to society. Offer them something. Short of that, you're just proposing the idea that you are owed success just for existing. I wish I could find an exact quote. Can there really be anything more "socialistic" really? That's what lefties don't really understand, I think. If they really want to make the world a better place, why promote the idea
You have to wonder how many Dems have fallen into the same pit as CAIR, though. When you have Barney Frank accusing Bush of 'genocide', I have a hard time thinking this is much more than damage control on her part. Wasn't Ellison the beneficiary of fundraisers held by CAIR? If I'm not mistaken Ellison has personal acquaintance with the guy. This is just the usual bull, imho. These people stand and cheer for people who make hate a lifestyle. Just because she decided this was more bad
