True, but the vast majority of Middle Eastern, or "brown" peoples ARE Muslims. Sure, we COULD end up with a black, white, orange, green or purple Muslim, but there are far, far more brown ones. So, if we could check the brown ones off the list right away, that would take many, many, many of them out of the equation at one fell swoop. It's a simple matter of practicalit
know this was addressed to the Doc, but let's not forget that, at the time, the nation was seized with hysteria. The Japanese had attacked us, suddenly we were very much involved in a war most of the nation had very much hoped to avoid, and here we had this potential Fifth Column---potential spies and saboteurs---right here on our shores. Yeah, there were Germans here
Lots of cheap shots in this thread. Kalua, Whiskey....Mmmmm Ohhhh, right...'those' cheap shots. ~L
But since you are a liberal, and you demanded a conservative justify a liberal (who also did not do that), dont demand of a conservative to explain what a liberal meant if you are too cowardly to take on the task yourself. Nowhere did I say you had to justify him based on party, I intended for you to justify it as based on being a human being, a
Then, you need to come over to the other side of the fence! No thanks, the padded chairs, buffet and big screen (w/ 24/7 sports!) is just fine for me. Good ol' liberalism. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 c
Thief! I am Worf! She is mine! Go get T'Pao! Or she will rip your pointy little beard off and shove it down your gullet! *stone faced* That is not logical. Ya know...the only good two good characters on the original ST were scotty
I have news for you....diplomacy only works if BOTH sides are reasonable and amenable to acheiving a solution. When you have people, especially fanatics, who do not wish to negotiate, in good faith, on any playing field, level or otherwise, it will not work. FundamentalistIslamics---and please note that I did not use the generic term "Muslims", meaning all of them-
Thanks SP, but please, I want this to stay very neutral. I really dont feel the need to acuse anybody of anything, and really, nothing has been done. Theres just a few folks that may either be misunderstanding me personally, and if possible, I'd like to be understood; nothing more and nothing less. I didn't intend to point fingers, my apo
*rolls eyes, laughing* You guys are too cruel, ya know that? ( ) Oh...almost forgot. ( )<br
I'm posting this...three word answer...cause, i did the same thing. DON'T DO IT. ~~~~~~ Just (DON'T) do it. Capiche? Not going to get you anywhere positive. ~S/P
Well, you're welcome on my blog anyday. As for what's been happening to you -though i haven't seen it - all i can say is....oh boy. I don't know why they did it, heck, im still trying to figure out some things on my own end, but dont let it get to you. You know who you are, right? If so, then let it go. Just...let it all go. I've done that, and I'm fine. (Here's hoping I made even some sense) Peace, ~Lucas
I lived in a small desert town for a number of years. I couldn't scratch myself without someone knowing. It was there I learnt I am much more comfortable living in a city environment. LOL The town i live in isn't that small, but i can empathize with your comment at the end.
Lucas, I guess I misunderstood your post; I apologize for getting so upset. It happens to the best of us, no worries. You think they didn't try TALKING for twenty damn years before the Civil War started?
Thanks for letting me know. Have you been to New York? This is another of the cities I’d love to see before I die No,but I'd like to check it out. If plans work out, i'll be in los angeles come July (or sooner, hopefully sooner...*crosses fingers*). Peace, ~L
I would hate to see what you call a conservative if you call Rush Limbaugh a liberal . . . I think you're mistaken, friend. He may be right, it's a conspiracy! <
(Citizen)ModeratemanNovember 15, 2006 14:41:28 Dumb because I disagree? Dumb because...you think it is wrong? Please, tell me why. I don't think you get that I understand what you are saying, all of you. Still, I choose to believe what I want, period.
I think people think if you're short, you're young. Stupid but seems true. *chuckles* My mother can attest to that, she's 4'5"-ish.
No it "is" people like you. Just HOW do you think those freedoms came to be in the first place? By the blood of your fellow Americans! Do "really" think the British at the time would have sat down to negotiate with the colonists? They proved otherwise. Do you think Hitler would have sit down to talks? He also proved otherwise. So you can talk the talk but won't walk the wa
We don't want him, either . . . maybe the "Personal Choice" party will take him? LOL Heh, liberal but they don't want me...refuse to be conservative, hmmm...me thinks I am in a load of trouble. Guess I get to start my own party
No, that's just the line of faux liberals like Lucas here. He only says he's liberal because it's the "cool" thing to do. Some day he'll grow up and come to some sense of his own being, and his own political ideals, but as of right now, he's just parroting what he hears. Actually, I am liberal. All on my own. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width
Well, you have the liberal line down pat. Never take responsibility for your own actions, blame it on someone else. Let me rephrase that, so you understand, and possibly - not make yourself look like an asshole. I admit, that it is my responsibility
War is never, ever, a pleasant or good thing, but it is often a necessary thing. That's where we part, I don't think it is often a necessary thing. I'd much rather solve things through diplomacy, etc...anything but the shed of blood. Most of it comes from the fact that I became very much a pacifist after dealing a certain family figure
Any idea guys when was joeuser started and who the oldest existing member apart from the admin. I believe BakerStreet is one
Bahu's heart is with the terrorists. Has he admitted it? If not, then I call BS. Why do you complain that I simply point out that fact? Because you just might be wrong. Because, well, I
To this end, I’d like to find out a bit more information. I’m not asking for addresses or for any personal information, just the town or closest major city and the state or territory where you all live. I will kick off with a little bit of information about my suburb, city and state: At this point in time (and to change soon, hopefully), I
