Good Point

Reply to Bush has DESTROYED our Militaries Equipment! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Colonel, even if you do have a valid point in your articles (and every once in a while you do), it's lost in your presentation. Personally, I think you've brought up a valid point, and if you can write an intelligent article, citing reliable sources, or link to a few that do, you might actually get somewhere. Why did you write the article you wrote instead of just supplying a link to the article you ended up wholly copying and pasting in comment #5?

Reply to Cuban Exiles: Will they Go Home? in Politics JoeUser Forums

Since they are here...I think if Cuba's gov changes and they can "go home" then the US should say..."leave or become a US citizen." I don't mind if they want to stay and become citizens, but if they don't want the responsibility of being an American as well as the perks, they should be sent packing. But I don't know

Cacto, I am trying to understand but if the UN and other countries would put pressure on Lebanon on returning the captured soldiers this whole fiasco would not have started. Reminds me of the story of the family who offered a $2500 reward for anyone who found their lost dog. Every month the dog goes mi

Reply to CAN ISRAEL FIGHT TERRORISM WITH AN IRGUN PAST in Politics JoeUser Forums

I did not say Israel should have done nothing. I agree with almost ALL world leaders that Israel went far beyond what is reasonable for the capture of three soldiers. They are destroying two countries and people that had NOTHING to do with the capture of the soldiers! World leaders have reasons for thei

I see. You're quoted material is sourced from an entirely different cleric to the one I was quoting. I hope it's wise to assume you made an error in name recognition rather than thinking you believe all Muslims are actually the same. I guess I wasn't making myself clear. The Australian Moslem complains

I never said that they can't be negotiated with. In fact if you want guerilla armies to give up their guns, negotiation is the only way, as in Ireland. Don't extrapolate Ireland to be indicative of all guerrilla campaigns. The Americans never negotiated with the Philipinos. They ruthlessly put down th

There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day). Christian Serbs should be applauded for trying to liberate European land from the legacy of infidel Turkish Moslem imperialism.

Does that seem unreasonable to you? He's arguing against the stereotyping of Islam into two types - fundie and moderate. To a large extent, yes. The Moslem is an outsider in the West.

To: All There are only two canonically-sanctioned approaches for the good Muslim in regard to the Infidel world. He must, when he sees no cause for open Jihad, regard the Infidel as a 'Dhimmi' - one subjected to a legal second-class relationship, required to pay taxes Muslims do not pay, requirements of dress which Muslims

Fairy Nuff, then. Cheers Anyway, I do have an opinion. I was apprehensive but not morally opposed to war in Iraq. I was never for nation-building, and was very bothered by the administration's lack of intellectual curiosity when

If I want headline clippings I can watch Fox News scroll them for me. Do you have an opinion and if so what is it? It's an interesting article. Do you have something to say about it - do you support it? Are you in disagreement with it? What? This is a place for debate. You can't debate with the mute, and I'm damned

My paper of choice, The Independent, is generally left-wing and pro-Palestinian. However, it has run several pro-Israeli columns and letters this week, as well as reporting from northern Israel. This is as it should be. I'm quite sure that the other English "qualities" - The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and Th

Actually, we have quite a range of opinions. It goes with the territory of having democracies, functioning civil societies with unfettered discussion and a free press expressing diverse opinion. All things which America claims to believe in too - to the extent of believing the recipe can be exported universally.

So they can either run farther left, and alienate the center, or do what they are doing. Nothing. Yep. I actually think most democrats would like to run farther left, and basically live up to every stereotype, but then they'd be as popular and successful as the Green Party. I'm surprised your

I see things the opposite as Gideon. I think both parties are, and are trying very hard to be more pro-minority. The Democrats already have been. Republicans, or at least the wing that controls the White House, are trying to promote their own pet minority in the hispanics; it's a strategy that will not work without alienating whites. Republicans cannot play the racial spoils game like the Democrats do, so why bother? It contradicts too many other
