I'm sorry being 25, I wasn't around for the comic book age, when I was like 10 I got one of "Casper the friendly ghost", that was it, nothing against Casper, but a comic book vs a real book or The Legend of Zelda just didn't hold up. As for preemies, I agree sometimes it's best to let nature take its course, but it should always be the parents decision what course they want their kid to take, even if it's wrong in your eyes, it is their child. Again, I'm curious if you are wil

You are right about the two of them representing and catering to their audiences. I personally like Olberman best because he is more witty. O Reilly just makes you want to switch when he gets nuts. Olberman is cool cucumber. I never really liked his show when it came on, then I went 2 years without cable, best 2 years of my life too, and finally my family decided it's a good idea to get it again, you know food network <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/smiles/Ew.gif"

"So the fact that it was not bad intelligence has nothing to do with your argument proves you don't care about the facts just the spin. None of the reasons used to invade Iraq was based on any bad intellibence." That's spin right there read my earlier post in it's entirety on your other thread, I've made the case as it was made for going into this war, it's very dissimllar to what it is about now.

"These are not freedom fighters. Don't ever give them a title that elevates them to the status other than terrorist and cold blooded murderers." What I mean but "freedom fighters" is fesicious, nobody from Iran or Syria is fighthing for freedom at all. Neither is Al Qaeida, nor am I saying they are freedom fighters. They are murderous criminals nothing more. The "freedom fighter" was an expression that I probably shouldn't have used to describe the foreign irregulars that are

Well I just tend to read into things a bit deeper, if that appears to be feelings rather then fact, well a lot of world events are feeling based, facts are important but sometimes the facts change.

"naive young person" You got it So what do you think of the correlation of illegitimate children to poverty? Pretty close aye?

Ok, little hard to read but I got it, you win. Congratulations. I yield. One thing about the study though, the other factors suggest that being divorced, effectively splitting income, and having kids, effectively dividing income among them, is equally likely if not more so to push you into poverty. Would you not agree? Interesting how closely having illegitimate children affect

"if you go through life thinking no one is responsible for anything, then it's easy to show endless sympathy because nothing is anyone's fault." This is an assumption you've created of me, not one I've ever stated, kinda scary actually because I am all about responsibility. "But I am not sure you'll understand the difference because you seem completely unable to render a judgment. A decision." Well if I'm too stupid, and maybe I am, to get it, why are you wasting your

"It's not an argument that the poor, on average are dumb. It's a statistical fact. If you take 1000 people living in poverty and take 1000 middle class Americans and have them take an IQ test, you'll find that the ones living in poverty are significantly less intelligent. Period."

Paladin you gotta give me a chance to catch up man hehe. "We did not have to stay to stablize the country but given that our enemy is adept at taking over countries that have weak leadership it is prudent to stay for our own protection." The enemy if you are talking about is Al Qaeida (I can never spell it right), they didn't have political control of Afghanistan, The Taliban did, When we went terrorist hunting they were given the option of handing them over or being taken out

Cool I was just curious since I help to build the machine and have seen the 4D feature on the Discovery channel. I hope all is well and that you guys have a great Thanksgiving, and that everything works out. As for MLD "Noone said anything about killing" I certainly took the title of your post as a suggestion that "Let Micro Preemies die Peacefully" means the should be terminated. If you were in favor of giving them a chance then would you not write "Let micro preemies live" ?

Do you know how they let them die? Well let me tell you about aborted babies that survive delivery, some of them last a few days outside the womb, and it is unethical to kill them by denying them water, however they are denied food, and slowly drift into a comotose state, and then die. This can take hours, days sometimes, which is truely disgusting in my opinion. It is the same with micropremature births isn't it? They keep the hydrated, but don't feed them, until they drift into the a

Another thing I hear about on a personal level, not sure how this carries over to the rest of the system, but locally, some of the social workers/case workers do 10-12 hour days, instead of 8 hour days, and have to take extra time off, leave of absences to deal with the emotional stresses. It's really sad, that children and families are being broken up and falling apart in our country, when we have so many resources to see other things though, exploration of space, building up of nucle

"It does vary. I looked up some online today and there are BK jobs that range from $6.50 an hour to $8 an hour. Bear in mind that those are the ultimate entry level job." $6.50-$8.00 sounds a little more accurate, you'd have to have about 5-10 years already in fast food to be able to walk in and command $8.00 starting pay even at entry level, never mind no benefits for the first 90 days. What's so "ultimate" about being a burger flipper? "Even a full time job at $6.25

Well actually lol about 2% of gun deaths are unintentional shootings, which means 98% of gun deaths are not. If you don't have a gun around, you can't be shot unintentionally, unless you hang out with friends who play with guns.

There's been a lot of talk about how Islam is a grave threat to the United States, and comparisons to history. I'm curious as to the opinion of the masses. If you could look at past threats and how they stack with Islam... How would you rank them in order of danger to the world as a whole, and then how would rank them as dangers to the United States? If you are so inclined to rank then would you also be so kind as to include why you ranked them how you did. Fascism specificall
