[quote who="Basmas" comment="31"]sorry for answering the question as it was posed. I should have know that he didn't write what he meant.[/quote] Thats like saying when JFK said Ich bin ein Berliner, people should have just said,"huh, your a jelly donut?" and not realized he ment, Ich bin Berliner. (yes it was commented on after, but people understood what he was trying to say.)
[quote who="Basmas" comment="29"]Note the use of the word 'or' in Draginols post not the word 'and'.[/quote] Note that the "or" is most likely not supposed to be there. (nor and for the matter) This just shows your grasping at straws mate and arguing sematics.
[quote who="little-whip" comment="15"]Christ-on-a-pony, not another endless thread about kerry and the swiftboat veterans...that dead horse has been beaten into a stain already.[/quote] But its their favorite toy, and it fun to watch em "play" with it.
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="3"]Indeed, and thank god there is no fairness act (or Oprah would have no choice). 3 cheers for Oprah and her freedom! But by the same token, why are you denying the same freedom to KFC? this is afterall HER blog and her freedom. Why should she give it a rest? [/quote] Once again Dr. Guy nails one on the head.
[quote who="Ax23000" comment="22"]So sue me, I think that politics CAN be more complicated then sitting around bitching about what idiots the other side is. As for why I'm reading a political blog, because some people DO have more interesting things to say and I was impressed with an earlier post he'd written having to do with video games and DRM.[/quote] How bout instead of us suing you, you just put something up here that you think is the better way in politics and show us how
*sigh* Russia is backing out of its former pro-capitalism, pro-democracy stance (and has been sinse Yelsin). Why should MY Government not change its stance as well?
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="12"]No, because most Americans dont care. And the other countries sure dont either.[/quote] LOL, yep! There are lots of non-americans that talk more about our politics then even their own nations.
[quote who="ParaTed2k" comment="6"]ZooSorry, you and Matt Damon wait for the first Atheist or Pagan president or VP. Until then I guess you'll have to put up with crazy talk from people who believe in God speaking their minds about what they believe about God.[/quote] Excatly, why shouldnt people be able to talk in the metaphors they understand. If there was a pagan running that was about as good as the McCain/Palin ticket I d most likely vote for them. But as it sta
The best line of defense is with the individual. If You always run to nanny when trying to defend yourself, youll just be attacked where nanny cant protect you. The police dont have the power to proect everyone all the time, they are best as a deterent and second best as a way to be avenged.
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="6"]Really? Hmm, I guess we have to rewrite the history of Jamestown.[/quote] Jamestown didnt have much wildlife in the near area, neither hunting nor trapping was good there. They had to trade with indians to get much of their food. Sure there was hunting but they did it out of desperation. A lot of the very early colonists would have tried hunting first, cause they did it as sport in their homeland and didnt think about the c
The only twisting of the second amendment are from those that want to turn my country into yours. Guns are a weapon that has always been ment to kill people. The hunting reason is the farce, earily Americans TRAPPED or raised their meat, hunting was sport even then. When it comes down to it an armed people are more free then their unarmed counter parts.
[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="3" id="1855450"] But it is current Stardock policy . And it is a drawback: no support for second hand game.[/quote] You do not buy the game, you buy a licence to the game. This licence is nontransferable. Second hand games may as well be prirated copies.
[quote who="Leauki" comment="26"]I find the pagan Greek system of morality fascinating (and wrong, but my opinion is besides the point) and I would like to know why an American teacher should not teach the Zeus religion's stance on homosexuality rather than the Abrahamic religions' stance? [/quote] Except even the bisexual Greek society marraige was for the opposite sex. Homosexuality is just for fun and Zeus' trysts with men prove that point cause hestill went ho
Ya... cant wait to show Frisco it cant bully the rest of us Californians around again.
[quote who="Artysim" comment="33"]That's nice. I know several folks who fell ill in the States and waited to go back to Canada so they wouldn't have to pay a 20,000 dollar bill! [/quote] The above is a muddy point since an American in Canada may have to do the same since we arent covered by your system.Basicly the American or the Canadian visitor has to purchase special travel insurance.
[quote who="Leauki" comment="21"] Monopsony power forces prices down just as monopoly power forces prices up. And that's why socialised healthcare is cheaper. There is no way around it. [/quote] There is some true to this... however you will also kill innovation, since you can t get as good of a price for new drugs or medical equipment.
[quote who="Artysim" comment="13"]Here in Canada socialized medicine, overall, means that per capita we pay less for health care through taxes than you would through private channels in the states. This is because, for each province there is one medical system. [/quote] In Saskatawan (a Canadian province) if you want an MRI you have to go on a six month waiting list, or go to the States or Alberta (which has a bit more free enterprise) and pay for it out of pocket.

Today they are agreeing with the rulers who tell them that everyone should be able to get along, and trying to do their part. Is it stupid... yes, but its not total capitulation. Its just holding to a bad philosophy. Today we have the cult of the stranger, which says its those close to us that are dangerous, and outsiders should be revered. This cult has been coming in for a long time, longer then Woodrow Wilson solidified it
So then, the third of the US that didnt take sides during the Revolution when ever they just did as the British tell to did as well.... and that was often.
No, its the action of people that dont want any trouble, which makes em on the sideline.
[quote who="Dr Guy" comment="8"]Oh, I dont think everyone has surrendered. But too many have. You cant effectively fight a war if half your population has no heart or stomach for it.[/quote] Tell that to our founding fathers! A very large percentage of our country during the revolution did not particapate. about one third of the poulation didnt care about it, and I m talking free men here. not even a majority of the people actively supported the cause either.
Yes but there are still alot of folks who want to fight them, and the left who are trying to commit cultural suicide. Though I do understand the frustration with seeing christian bashing cartoons and not muslim ones. I have voice such concerns as well.
How bout we just seperate them by blue red county? California has only few blue counties, just their population is huge.
They havent won yet, its just one more battle under thier belt. We still got alot going for us.
To be fair to Dresden its citizens did not vote hitler into power, and voted against him. Peronally I think we should have brought out the butchers knife in world war 2 much sooner, many G.I.'s died needlessly to save German and Japanese lives.
