Reply to BREAKING: Four Dead in Arizona College Shooting in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

In my 50+ years I've undergone two unprovoked, serious attacks while broken down with my car 40 miles from nowhere. Crew 1: 4 men ( 2 recent prison parolees), broken whiskey bottles, stated intent to kill me for being wrong race (1969). Crew 2: 3 men, baseball bat and a tire iron (1981). On both occasions my producing a gun aborted the attack, and sent the attackers fleeing in their vehicles. No shots necessary, no shots fired. I believe that there has to be some resonable control of who can

Normal is a misnomer. The good people who define "normal" behavior are a minority in the world at large and are therefore no longer the norm.

There seems to be a strong movement now in psychiatry that a person can have a certifiable mental illness, and still know the difference between right and wrong. ( Did he plan? hide and use subterfuge? Formulate a careful escape plan? etc., etc.).

They don't prove his guilt , until it's been properly sorted in court. BTAIM, if we were innocent until proven guilty, then you would never feel a policeman's handcuffs on your wrist until after you had been tried and convicted by a court. And we all know that's not true.

Go into the smartcard.dsh text file and comment out the line which loads smartcard's .tsk file : "// TodayFile = smartcard.tsk". After this, smartcard won't change your startbar skin by loading its .tsk file when you use smartcard. Then use the Today menu to reselect your old Today theme ( .tsk file). Hope that helps.

You're right, Kinrik. I think that this thread is slowly getting sucked over to the dark side, and it's time to bail again. Seems like most of us have sworn never to post on this thread again at least 2 or 3 times. I'm turning it loose ... there it goooooeeeees.

Politicians are monkeys - they do what we teach them to do. If we are so averse to confronting truth that a politician can only get elected by using lies, omission, evasion, and distotrtion, then the real blame should fall on us, and not on the organ grinder monkey who merely dances to our preferred tune.

Optimist: spends 90% of his time happy, 10% of his time being disappointed and devastated. Pessimist: spends 98% of his time being miserable (along with everyone in his near vicinity), and 2% of his time being pleasantly surprised and happy. I'm a devout pessimist and cynic, but I somtimes envy the optimists.

"Wombat: very good points made. I am glad you are able to put history in its real context" Lecrayon - Wombat does indeed do an excellent job of putting history into context, viewing accurately and faithfully reporting all of the negatives in a given situation. Whatever positives may also exist don't seem to be of much interest. "And remember, it is better to be a pessimist than an optimist" Jafo - you and Wombat should write a book! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/im

Two points: Powerful and wealthy groups live pampered, overprivileged lives in every country of the world. Kuwaiti leaders didn't invent this phenomenon. Many of those whom we might consider downtrodden and repressed do not view themselves that way at all, and they are very quick to straighten out those who would hope to "save" them from the "terrible oppression". The US was invited to Kuwait to move the Iraqis back to Iraq. We never received any invitations to remode
