Reply to Why liberals keep losing... in Politics JoeUser Forums

EZP: I chose 4 common topics. Feel free to write your own. ABe: What point are you trying to make? Besides cherry picking state polls, you only demonstrated that roughly half the poulation has conservative values. Way to go. Which was my point. Unless you've been living in a cave (or in fairness, don't live in the United States) you would know tha tmost Americans favor the death penalty. If you disagree with that, then well you should move on. I'm sure there's a flat earth so

To make sure it's easy, I did one on the death penalty: http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=101 64% to 25% in FAVOR of the death penalty. Which is down from how it used to be. The others are probably similarly easy to find.

Why liberals keep losing... in Politics JoeUser Forums

When I ask, "Why do liberals keep losing?" what I specifically mean is those who believe in American liberal ideals (which to a European means something different) are finding their political fortunes ebbing and their influence on the United States weakening. And it boils down to this: the left wing mainstream media and liberal politicians mistakenly think that their beliefs are held by the majority of Americans. They're not. They should know this because the

Having a Longhorn Desktop now in OS Customization JoeUser Forums

Been having a lot of fun at work lately. Very busy but still incredibly fun. For one thing, been working on a bunch of different programs at once. Namely: DesktopX and DesktopX Pro IconDeveloper WindowBlinds 4.2 Today I discovered the joy of combining Flash and DesktopX together. Holy cow can you do some neat stuff. I took a Flash Tetris game and turned it into a DesktopX object. <a class onclick="window.open(&quot

Reply to Liberal Media Bias in Politics JoeUser Forums

It doesn't really matter whether you think it's okay for people to have guns or not. The issue is that half the population (more than half the population) of the United States believes in people's rights to own guns. But liberals think it's only fringe people who believe that and hence tend to cover gun control issues as if you have "civilized decent humans on the one hand and a bunch of NRA Nazi's on the other."

Dating my wife in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

My wife and I have started dating again. By that I mean each other. Despite my attempts to stress to her that I'm a stallion and as a stallion I must roam and roam free, she still insists that I date only her. We've been having a lot of fun and it's amazing how much things have changed since when we dated before we got married. 12 years ago, which is about when we started dating, I drove a vette. A che vette but a vette none the less. Surprisingly, chicks weren't impre

Making icons from PNG files in OS Customization JoeUser Forums

I'm having a lot of fun with IconDeveloper . It's almost done. Probably will go 1.0 in the next couple of days. It's one of the dozen or so programs that makes up Object Desktop, a suite of programs that let you completely change the way Windows looks and functions (as little or as much as you want). I've used various icon editing packages over the years. My big beef with

iTunes may not be able to stem music piracy in Music JoeUser Forums

The music industry, particularly the on-line music industry, has some real challenges ahead of it. People are still prone to pirate music rather than purchase it even when it's only 99 cents. My belief has been that much of music piracy has to do with convenience. But in a poll last week on WinCustomize.com that asked whether people would be buying music on-line the results were not reassuring. Over 1,200 people responded on WinCustomize and 42% of people responded tha

Reply to Jessica Lynch in Politics JoeUser Forums

Jessica Lynch would be the first person to agree that she shouldn't be getting all the attention she's getting. But her story is one I think needs to be told. It tells of the human side of war. Jessica Lynch will be in pain for the rest of her life. Her leg bones were essentially liquified. Her bowels and bladder are paralysed (which means she will probably have to wear a colonstomy bag for the rest of her life). Her spine was severely damaged and she will require pain medi

Liberal Media Bias in Politics JoeUser Forums

Liberal bias in the media is pretty established at this point. Established in the sense that any reasonable person who has put any significant effort into looking into the issue will have come to that conclusion. The main deniers of such bias come, naturally, from liberals. Debating whether there is liberal media bias, for me, is like debating evolution vs. creationism. I'm not going to waste my time debating whether evolution is a fact or not and I'm not going to debate whether l

Reply to Europe: Israel biggest threat to world peace? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Pablo, you seem to be oblivious of how poor your debating skills are. Sometimes it's better to just quit digging. Here's a free debating tip: [Assertion] [Evidence] This is the basic structure of a debate. You make an assertion and then you back it up by evidence. Evidence can come in many forms. Examples. Links. Commonly known facts. Your posts seem to be completely devoid of evidence. You make these amazingly arrogant assertions "You Americans don't respect

Reply to Israel biggest threat to world peace? Wrong !!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Just a point: Israel could exterminate every Palestinian if it chose to and no one could do anything about that. Meanwhile, the Palestinian leadership would almost certainly love to kill every jew that exists but is only stopped by lack of means. So yea, I would say that Israel definitely holds back a lot. I don't seem them occupying anyone's "land" since there has NEVER been an independent state of Palestine. So much grief for these terroritsts when no one talksa bout

Reply to Europe: Israel biggest threat to world peace? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Let me get this straight - you think that the Nazi's alone were responsible for the deaths of 6 million jews? That when they marched into say France or Poland that they just "knew", kind of like a spider sense or something, where all the jews lived? The number of jews murdered during World War II varied from country to country largely based on the amount of CIVILIAN cooperation the Nazi's received in rounding them up. But yes, you CAN blame France's population for cooperating i
