"I will be glad to WHEN they make the decisions." Nope, that's a lie. You didn't condemn them when they defied the 9/11 commission's recommendations about the intelligence committee. You didn't condemn their hypocrisy when Mollahan and Jefferson returned to their jobs. Right now on TV I hear Pelosi whining about corruption, and the Dem
Yep, nations have thresholds for how much evil they can tolerate. Oddly, you fail to point out that as Hussein's evils became more and more known to the world, the CLOSER he became to "anti-war" nations. As the US decided he was just to much of a nut to deal with, nations like France and Germany and China and others forged stronger and stronger ties. They were meeting with him, offering gifts, sending executives from their biggest companies, etc., up to a couple of months before the U
I would like to see how many illegal alien's kids go to bed hungry. People are killing themselves to come here, and working their butts off once they get here. The "facts" of poverty don't take into account child ABUSE and neglect, and self-abuse on the part of adults. If they did, I believe devoutly those numbers would be infinitesimal. If people neglect themselves and their kids, the problem isn't poverty, is it?
The difference I was pointing out, Kupe, is that a lot of that is by negligence or choice. It isn't going to matter how strong the economy is or what social services are available if your single mother is a meth whore and doesn't care about you. There is absolutely, ZERO need for any child in America to go to bed hungry. None. One in eight children, are you seriously believing that? We qualified for BOTH food stamps AND WIC when we had our daughter, and we both had decent jobs, and
Being where I am from, I have seen people who have accepted "emergency" food funds, food stamps, etc. The rate of obesity, even in their kids, doesn't seem effected, and they seem to be able to afford cartons of cigarettes just fine...
"30 million Americans are so poor they don't eat every day. That's a fact." lmao. That's 10% of our population. You are saying one in ten poeple in America are so poor they don't eat every day. Oddly, we have the fattest poor in the world, so fat that their health care costs are astronomical. Have you ever seen images of people who ar
None of this really matters. We have private industry. We have state education systems. We have private charitable organizations. Will the result be as socialist as this charity-at-gunpoint? Will I be treated for free once my tax dollars contribute to finding cures through stem cell research? Hell no. So, some big pharma company with a nose of congressional brown will snatch up a tidy little patent. Then I'll pay them, again, for the privilege of getting the cure that I already f
Seriously, answer this. Were Americans bad Christians for mourning the death of Ulysses S. Grant or Abraham Lincoln? Under his leadership how many American Christians were killed?
No, if they aren't going to ban him, then it is good punishment to let him have this drek in front of people. That's what he's steamed about now, that the admins won't remove OLD posts like this one.
""Palestine" is not a name like "Canaan" (which I used here as a neutral choice). "Palestine" is SPECIFICALLY what the pagans named the area to ERASE its connection with the G-d of Judaism (i.e. with Allah)." Eh, like I said, the Old Testament refers to that land as Palestine, so the Jews would have adopted that name hundreds of years before ther
lmao... Nope, nothing ever changes. Some people are incapable of changing. Would someone please ban this sack of crap so we don't have this bi-weekly, tourettes-like moron-a-thon? It's obvious that this has become some sort of pathological thing he does.
This from the same population that drags American soldiers behind their cars and hangs them burning for everyone to pose with. The same part of the world where they play concert-beachball with the coffins of their leaders. The same culture who has public amputations, floggings, yadda yadda... There may be a nation or two in the middle east who behave with a reasonable enough amount of tact to really be surprised about this, but then they'd be seeing this and worse from their neighbors
P.S. It is post #12 that is breaking the page. There is a mistyped quote tag. Delete the farked tag and the table tags at the end of the quote and you should be fine.
Well, the Kurds aren't Muslims traditionally, are they? He did kill a lot of Iraqi Shia, but I doubt enough to be the single largest killer of muslims of all time. I assumed he meant the Iran/Iraq war, which did kill a LOT of Muslims. I'm still not sure that would make him the worst of all time, but that's not something that would be easy to pin down, I guess.
The point was Saddam was a killer of "muslims", but that ignores that the act was killing IRANIAN muslims. Hussein was also Sunni, and the underlying racial and ethnic divisions mean as much to these people as Islam. Given that Iranians have killed their share of Sunnis, and have at times been martially opposed to organizations like Hamas and Fatah, the fact that Saddam killed Iranians probably isn't going to bother them much. I guess it would be like someone asking why we were killin
Believe it or not, Iranians have more claim to the term "Aryan" than Nazis ever did. They were indo-Iranian peoples who called themselves Aryan as far back as Darius the Great. Their ancient language is called "old aryan". They stem from an old race, related to the the people of the black sea and russian steppes. They are indo-Iranian in the same way Europeans were indo-european. Granted, like everything conquest has mixed their race in the same away that the turks, Iraqis and othe
At the same time, though, you seem to be arguing against yourself. Modern Jews don't call Israel canaan, do they? You admit they are both new and old, so the "state" of Israel is called Israel. Well the Palestinians are the same. Like I said, you won't find the word "Palestine" in the Koran, but neither will you find Canaan, or Jerusalem. You will find at least the archaic equivalent of "Palestine" in Joel. So I don't see anything that goes against the spirit of the Koran y
I like survival shows. If this is the guy I think, he's a doof. He's always taking risks that people should never take in situations like that. He swims across unknown water that he could walk around. He does captain kirk rolls down hills, runs constantly, etc. The last thing you want in a survival situation is to drown needlessly, get dysentary or parasites from water or eating raw fish, break an ankle running, expend energy you will need more later, etc. The guy is basically an e
I'm not telling you to stop talking theology, I'm just addressing this particular point. I think you are ignoring the dichotomy between modern Zionist Israel and ancient, biblical Israel. People like Iran's president don't consider the two to be the same, and frankly neither do a lot of Jews.
MMmmmm, so we should have ignored, say polio because cancer kills more people. We should ignore all petty crime until every case of murder is solved? Triage isn't just about taking the most injured people first. Sometimes it is about fixing what CAN be fixed instead of wasting time on things you aren't prepared for or simply can't do. People more often use North Korea as an argument. Why attack Iraq who might have had WMDs when you have North Korea sitting there who definitely does,
"I agree. That is why it is time to GET OUT!" Sorry, you misunderstood. I said that we are getting killed because we've lost our stomach for shooting Iraqis. We should go back to war with the militias, cretins like Sadr, etc., until the nation decides it's just too damn bloody a proposition to do anything else. If we can't do that, the
"Better reread my Blogs. I am the one that has pointed out how how Bush and the people he has appointed have FAILED to properly use our tax dollars." Heh, yeah, and after how many years you still fail to even acknowledge who holds the purse strings of our government, and whose freezers all the money gets stuffed in...
re: question #7 The reason I think the military is less and less apt to believe we will meet our goals in Iraq is that our military HAS NO CAPABILITY of reaching our goals in Iraq. That's ENTIRELY in the hands of the Iraqi people, who seem to have little will to make a nation for themselves. We, on the other hand, have lost our stomach for killing the Iraqis who are causing the problems. So we stand around and get killed. Nice way to "win" a war.
Nice dodge, but no, I think as much as possible should be handled by the states. I think the farther our tax dollars travel from our front door the less power we have to oversee its use. You, on the other hand, want to whisk it as far away as possible to be buried in mountainous federal budgets. The problem with what you describe is that people like you advocate LEECHING money from the states, WHILE more responsibility is being handed to the states. Every time something is delegated
"How is Federal Funding taking money from State and Private research?" Where does the federal government get its money, thin air? Do people print their own money? If I have 10 dollars, and the federal government takes 2 dollars, I still have 10 dollars for the states to tax, or to contribute as private donation? Where did you study math? <
