Ce qui? Umm, maybe it is just because today is Friday, but I'm not following the logical(?) warp jump you are taking here. Perhaps your coordinates are off a bit?

In my opinion they were part dictatorship, part oligarchy, etc. They were working toward a communistic society, but had not yet achieved it.

Reply to If Bush had done <insert action here> in Politics JoeUser Forums

[quote]I have to admit his comments were a bit exagerated, but keep in mind that for a country that's never been communist, anything even remotely close to being communist is as bad to us as actually going full blown communist. It's kinda how a poor person is use to having very little money while a rich person that all of a sudden found themselves in the same situation would go nuts.[/quote] True, but that still doesn't change the fact that we're still no

[quote]What’s truly breathtaking about the situation before us is that for years, liberals referred to Bush as a fascist and yet, we now actually seem to be getting the literal genuine article.[/quote] See, that's the thing - Bush was not a fascist, he wasn't even close to that. Likewise, I do not feel that Obama is remotely close. Assuming that I'm correct in believing that you're saying Obama is become fascist like - I disagree. This comes across as the same paranoia and

[quote]Well, is it bad to put trash in the trashcan in your apartment? do you avoid farting in the apartment because it makes it hotter (apartment warming!)? Do you use extremely dangerous and toxic chemicals to recycle paper so you don't have to plant more trees to make tree farms... ok the apartment analogy broke here.[/quote] While I tend to shop as much as I can for products made from recycled and recycylable/biodegradeable materal, there are stores here provide that.

[quote]I agree with this, to an extent. Of course the question then becomes, how far do we go to preserve said planet? I would much rather throw Bambi under a bus than another person.[/quote] It would depend on the person...

Reply to Do you really care? in The Environment Stardock Forums

When it comes to the planet; I look at it this way: I currently live in an apartment which is expected to be kept clean; aside from that requirement, there is the fact that I cannot stand living in a messy place. So, I take care of it. Likewise, with the planet, I believe in taking care of what you have. Whether or not the planet is hurting, whether or not we are causing global warming - it just makes sense to me to take care of (conserve, preserve, etc...) what you have. It rea

[quote]I'm not quite sure where you're going with this? Are you saying God is both male and female or just genderless?[/quote] It seems to me to be a bit, arrogant to assume that (your) God is male. It would seem reasonable to assume that if God is all, and all is he, then that would entail being feminine. Unless that is where Mary falls, even though Mary was never a deity. ~Alderic

[quote]Would you be more clear? Are you saying that personally you're against having an abortion, but that you support others who choose to kill their baby by having an abortion?[/quote] I'm saying that I would never want one/have one, et al. However, the issue of OTHERS having an abortion, is none of my concern; it is not my body, and it is not my life, period.

[quote]I do understand what you're saying but to me it's like sitting on the fence with one leg over each side. While you personally don't like it or would have one yourself you are all about our freedom to choose. I get that. I agree to a point and probably would agree with you if it were another issue that didn't involve a hushed voice that has no say. For me Ronald Reagan summed it up perfectly when he said this: "I have often said that when we talk about abortion we

[quote]Pro choice means you support a womans right to choose whether to have an abortion. In other words, you're supporting the use of abortion (in such cases). You might not think that abortion should be chosen in every case, but you're still supporting it being chosen by people who think they should have an abortion. In fact pro-choice by itself is misleading - it's only pro the mothers choice, not the baby. The baby gets no say in whether it is killed. It's bizarre that mothers who kill t

Reply to OBAMANATION, the new Democrat religion in Politics JoeUser Forums

[quote]The problem with abortion isn't about people making choices, rather it's about the choice they make. In a choice to commit abortion, the baby always gets killed and it's fundamentally wrong, unacceptable and unjust to kill one's baby. If we continue the savagery of allowing big people to kill little unborn people by abortion, then where does killing stop?[/quote] See lula, that is just it, it is your opinion - your choice. Frankly, your opinion and choices have

If you favor abortion or are for abortion, then you are pro-abortion.[/quote] Lula, sorry, but I have to be blunt; you're being a bit of a stingy bella on that. Tell me, why does a person have to be pro abortion, when they say they are pro choice, You're completely setting aside the humanity aspect there. Myself: I would be considered pro-choice. However, I will never, ever, never "have

[quote]and that is the mother has a right to make a personal decision over her unborn baby's right to continue living.[/quote] But when that child is born, all decisions are therein defaulted to the mother/parents. So...i guess, again playing devils advocate, how does that differ? Setting aside the issue of it being her body, technically she is still the mother.

It was heartbreaking to find out that she had died; all i can really say is that I hope that her husband (Liam Neeson, correct?) and family find some sort of comfort to ease the pain; it is never easy to lose someone you love. ~Alderic

[quote]I absolutely agree with you about the free will. Lula and I are not infringing on that. But the freewill is only one sided when it comes to secular governmental education. Our kids were educated in a public school. Why can't our views and voices be heard? Why do our kids have to leave the classroom when comprehensive sex is being taught?

The sense of keeping out of others business is a virtue most in the world do not have; however, just because others do not follow it, does not mean it shouldn't be followed.

[quote]Well said. And the adendum to that is that we all have to live with the consequences of our actions, whatever they may be. With something like AIDS the key is education. Educate the public on how it is transmitted so that people at least have the information to make better decisions, if they choose to ignore the information that is their choice and they must deal with whatever the consequences may be.[/quote] Precisely.

[quote]I said that proportionately speaking, male homosexuality (specifically sodomy) results in higher rates of HIV/AIDS. You made the assertion in #142 that HIV/AIDS is not primarily a homosexual disease. I provided a news story that clearly states otherwise...and what's happening in the Washington, DC area is what's happening in the rest of the US and around the world.
