As I've said before, there's nuts in every religion. If you found one a day, you'd find 365 a year. Do you really think you couldn't find 365 Christians supporting abortion bombing, racial violence, etc.? This guy is a waste of skin, no doubt. The part you omitted was the "with links to a suspected Al Qaeda operative". "l-Hawsawi, a Saudi known as th

"War is not Willy Wonka's Factory - it is life and death. There is NO excuse to go to war unless there is no other option." Yet, you can't name a war in American history where there wasn't another option. Not a single one. Period. You've gone from "direct threat", to "justified", to "no other option". Next you'll put on a little straw hat and

Yeah, I misunderstood. Again I think the primary thing comes into play. I think the reason they have to go with these dog candidates is they have so little that would actually WIN in the primaries. In all honesty, we don't end up with many beauty queens ourself. I guess they figure name recognition is better than nothing. Clinton and Bush both defy that. No one knew them before they started running. The difference is, in the end, conservative dogma is more appealing to more peop

"Yes I believe the vast majority of Americans would want a war to justified and Iraq like Vietnam was not justified. People would not agree to send their sons and daughters to their death and to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a war they did not believe justified." Most people would want to live in Willy Wonka's factory, too, but it ain'

"Remember 84." And Mondale only won one state, and then Reagan was within 4000 votes of winning all 50. Don't get me wrong. I won't mind a bit if the Dems send someone who can't possibly win from their primaries. My opinion is, if you have what it takes to win the Dem primaries, you can't win the national election.

"Islam is a cancer, Baker, it really is.....it degrades women, it teaches its adherents to hold on to past hurts rather than get over it and move on, and to kill those who disagree with its teachings." It does? Oddly, I stand waiting for my little girl with Muslim women every day. They don't appear to be degraded. They don't wear burqas. I do

"How does our conducting wars like Vietnam justify this war? " Again, you assume wars even need to be justified. You have to accept that you are functioning on a level of morality that is neither codified nor implied in the history of war. Beyond some meaningless and unenforceable international agreements, most of which were tossed out before t

"According to the report , “Many items needed to establish a laboratory for making biological warfare agents were being sold on the Internet to the public from DOD’s excess property inventory for pennies on the dollar, making them both easy and economical to obtain.

" Imperial Iranian Air Force / Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force The sole foreign customer for the Tomcat was the Imperial Iranian Air Force (since 1979 Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force) during the reign of the last Shah (King) of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In the early 1970s, the Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF) was on a search for an advanced fighter, specifically one to intercept Soviet MiG-25 reconnaissance flights. After a visit of US President Nixon in Iran, in 1972

This is about waste, not terrorists. What's described here is junk in terms of dangerous items, and terrorists can buy the real thing from China, Russia, etc., through proxies as cheap as we sell our junk. The Tomcats were sold by Nixon in the 70's to the Shah's regime, if I am not mistaken.

It's a farce. You are NOT responsible, and I wouldn't pay a dime. They left the dog and the rabbit in the situation they found them in when they got home. Perhaps they didn't foresee it, but then neither would you have. It's a DOG, and in the end that's what counts. There's no reasonable expectation that a dog won't kill a rabbit if given the chance. Look at it this way. If your dog had gotten a case of the runs and ruined every piece of furniture in their house, would you be resp

"Attacking a country that does not pose any danger is not a "silly rule" It is WRONG." Then the vast majority of wars fought in the last 150 years have been wrong. Period.

I think it is going to depend on the quality of service of the free email. If MS provide something people can't get free, whether it be security, options, etc., then maybe. Frankly, I don't see them outperforming google. With the new web services being connected to gmail, it seem bleak.

"Given that the nominee has to please the base, and the base is very liberal, I think Edwards has a great chance" I think you can balance that with the fact that he couldn't even win an election in his own state. I don't think Edwards is even an issue if the race has Hillary or Obama in in it.

I've not seen you contribute anything here other than snide, trolling replies. I'm purposely not bothering to answer them outside of topic-oriented blogs, but here the topic IS flaming and I think it SUCKS that you get to walk on people while the rest of us try to do what Zoomba says. If they want your ilk, then I'll leave the corpse to the carrion.

No, I was just wondering how you were getting away with flaming and trolling constantly when we were told by admins to stop the current vendettafest. For some reason you can come in an ping away.
