Except we dont really have to pay back those foreign nations. China one of those countries at one time nationalized our property in their nation. We could always just pay em back. Ya it would cost us... but not as much as collapsing would.

[quote who="Eagle Seven" comment="11"]Cultural suicide...sounds like a good term for the EU.What happens when the birth rate is negative and the country is being flooded with quickly-reproducing immigrants who reject the native culture (Arab/Muslims in Britain, France, Denmark)?In the terms of the great game, Sid Meier's Civilization, a cultural conversion! Europe fails... [/quote] [quote who="Dr Guy" comment="12"]It is not unprecedented. Indeed, Cro Magnon kind of did it to the Neande
[quote who="Artysim" comment="9"]Interesting article, Moderateman. As an aside, I'd like to point out that if this kind of 'peaceful' march occurred in Canada it could be prosecuted under hate-crimes legislation. The same legislation that has been insinuated to be an evil means of the government muzzling free speech. I'm not aware of the laws in Great Britain, but it sounds to me like these folks are just exercising their right to freedom of speech! (at least, this is the argument that's
[quote who="ThinkAloud" comment="6"]Bush didnt win the popular vote at all mate.Thanks for the correction. You are right. I meant 500 votes out of Florida's voters . and yes it is less than 500 votes. i think it was about 300+ votes. but lets say it is 500. then he won the office by winning less than 0.1% of Fl popular votes. [/quote] Ah but popular vote doesnt really matter mate, its just the way all the states decide how to elect those that go to the Electoral College. The U.S.
[quote who="ThinkAloud" comment="3"]Keep in mind that very few won their first term of the presidency with over 2 points margin. GWB won it by 0.0005% (that is 500 votes out of 110 million votes)[/quote] President Bush didnt win the popular vote at all mate. He won what really counts, the electoral college. Nor was it even close to 500 votes, you needed to add 3 zero's on the end. He won the electoral college 271 to 266.
[quote who="Leauki" comment="9"]Eating ham doesn't have any consequences that eating beef doesn't have.[/quote] That depends on how you cook it. You can cook a blood rare beef steak, but its not a good idea to do the same with pork.
I think its cause to them we are supposed to EMBRACE those that are diffrent then us..... even as the stab at us. They want to commit cultural suicide IMO.
[quote who="EL-DUDERINO" comment="8"]You've gotta pay for universal healthcare somehow. Guess what's going to happen to us if Obama is elected and congress approves his universal healthcare plan. Our taxes will end up going through the roof and one of them will be our gas taxes. [/quote] If the The US goes to a universal health care system it will be a bad thing for future health care as a whole. There wont be as much incentive to make new medicines or advance medical tech.
Those are good reason to not vote for Mr. "Gift from the world to America" Obama.
I d say its prolly cause the first landers were simpler that made em last and what not.... more complex just means more stuff can go wrong. Even Failure can lead the science to get better.
[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="21"]He is just another politician who have done exactly what any other politician does, convince people he is the one by saying exactly what they wanna hear depending on the current issues.No matter how many times anyone uses Hussein, in the end Obama does more damage to himself than anyone using his middle name and his followers and those of his party that although do not follow him, still defend him only add more fuel to the name calling fire by complaining a
yes charles they do... but a name can make you not get a job, not get clients... and not get far in life... it doesnt always have to be about hurting you... but giving you a reputation.... you seem to only think its about the feelings of the person... what Iam talking about is is swaying other people with false images... which can be done in the free country we have... and that part is great.... but that doesnt mean some of us cant call it what it is... mud slinging... Can people sling
[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="15"] But let me ask you this. Did your biological grandfather find this name insulting? Because if he didn't then I don't see the problem. You see, calling peoples names only works if the person who's being insulted actually cares. I was cracked on as a child when I lived in Puerto Rico because I was born and raised in the US so I was a Gringo even though my parents were born in Puerto Rico. I had to deal with that for the 8 years I was living there. [/quote]</
[quote who="CharlesCS" comment="7"].The reason is not that the name Hussein is used to insult him (hello, it's his middle name if anything his mom would be to blame), it's the people who get offended that are the target of this kind of "Name calling". Any of you ever had a word that would get you mad every time someone called you that name? Ever wonder why people kept calling you that name? Because it bugged you, the same as it does those who think this name is offensive.[/quote] Um ya
[quote who="cactoblasta" comment="4"] If it is, is there more to it than the Arab connection?[/quote] Now what the Democrats did to Jindal during the Lousiana Governor race was just as bad as this but you wont find many mainstream media peeps harping on what they did like you hear for Obama. Why did they always call him Piyush when he goes by Bobby? There is no historical or current reason to do that. They too were just calling him by his real name.
[quote who="SlyDrivel" comment="4"]Racism cannot be killed. Everyone is racist. Like attracts like. Like trusts like. If you didn't say black or white, you'd say Jewish or Italian.[/quote] That only means everyone has the potential to be racist. There is nothing wrong with like attracting or trusting like. what your really describing is better called prejudice. Its prejudice while can lead to racism also keeps you out of trouble.

[quote who="lulapilgrim" comment="15"]Sodaiho posts: I don't know if its so much despising Christianity as it is trying to make sense out of the mythos, while at the same time deflating and deflecting those who hold Jesus up to be something he was not, God. Lulapilgrim Yes, MasonM called it like it is…..despising Christianity. Christ is the dividing line...one either hates Him or loves Him, is either with Him or against Him.[/quote] I do agree with you lulapilgrim
USA all the way!
[quote who="Hazirak" comment="2"] it's illegal to have a radar detecter in your car. If the police can't see it, they generally can't bust you for having it.[/quote] Ahh yes that would be a very good reason! lol
So what does the stealthiness do? Are the police more inclined to give a ticket if ya got one visible?
[quote who="Scotteh" comment="55"]Just like the Ghouls from the Nation of Islam, these men incite hate and deserve what they get. I really don't understand what your trying to defend here KFC.[/quote] I defend her right to free speech to defend MY right to free speech! If she isnt free to speak her mind none of us are. Nor is her speech hate filled anyways... cause it is a hate the sin not the sinners aproach. I even think Louis Farrakan has every right to call Jews blood
[quote who="Cikomyr" comment="45"]it was an example, sorry KFC. But you are the single most anti-homosexuality poster I am aware of on this website. [/quote] Your singling her out cause she is a christian and she speaks her mind yet you dont listen to much of the christain people say, which is homosexuality is a sin, like worshipping other gods (which I do!). You are mongering fear agianst her. Which you say is a bad thing hmmm. It a good example for how you will margina
double post sorry
I m confused... Mormons do believe in your Christ... isnt that the real baseline of Christianity? I think a better question is are they a cult... ya know with hidden teachings.... then I d say ya... but nothing wrong with that!
