"Feel free to continue wallowing in your own self importance telling eachother how great you all are for being American and for spreading "peace" throughout the galaxy... Lets hope that you have the opportunity of coming home one day to find your wife burnt to a crisp and your children splattered all over the charred remains of your home; the result of a weapon fired in the name of peace and freedom" - wytraven for the record, Jafo: this rhetoric is at least as offensive and inexcusable

when someone who is sometimes pro-government tells me that there is viable evidence that the government has committed an offense, i'm immediately moved to investigate. when someone who has never done anything but condemn the government like a broken record tells me that it has committed yet another offense ( let's see, by their tally this this major crime #1373 ), my interest couldn't be less. to be considered credible, you must at least make the attempt to appear to be objective, even if you ar

i guess i do it too. i watched a movie where the main group of people were supposed to be Filipino guerillas fighting the Japanese in WWII. the soldiers were speaking Thai in all of the non-english communication sequences! if you need Tagalog, hey, then any ol' asian language will do, right? and no one would ever notice a chinese actor in the role of a japanese general, right? i think hollywood would be amazed if they knew how much we actually see. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/sm

my dad would have made a good "sassy" (eyesight, anyway). he would infuriate us in the middle of watching "Combat" by bellowing out "$#@^%!! That battle took place in '42, and that German in the corner is shooting a '43 vintage Mauser! What kind of idiots do they take us to be ??" ( He had 20-10 vision in both eyes, and complained about many things that most of us can't even see.)

the centuries old, not-to-be-overlooked Rules of Engagement for negotiations with France: 1. if it originated somewhere else, then the default initial French response is always No. ( You're supposed to understand this and not be put off!) 2. You will immerse the French in an ongoing river of symbolic acts of respect, and flattery, until you've slowly wooed them from that intial No over to a Yes. (It is absolutely essential during this critical period that you acknowledge openly th

paxx - my dad was much like yours, but being very successful and competent, he had no reason to call ever. as big a pain as it is to be used when convenient, i'm wondering if that's not better than not being needed at all.

In Feb '73 a group of Khmer Rouge rebels, accompanied by their America-hating foreign journalist mouthpiece, entered a small village NNE of Takeo, Cambodia. A Cambodian and American Red Cross team had just given the village children their annual innoculations against disease and departed. The KR assembled the village, gave them a two hour political diatribe about the virtues of Communism and the unspeakable evil of cooperating with the government, and then chopped arms off all of the 17 childen

jennyc - you're dead on about Saddam Hussein, but your attack on paxx is based on something you can't possibly know: the deepest intentions which underlie his life ideology. he's made it clear in earlier parts of this thread that he has honest convictions and the courage to live them. i'm an old vietnam-era warhorse who volunteered for the war when other safe options were available. if i can have the utmost respect for paxx's point of view with regard to human life, then it shouldn't be that har
