Okay, I'm really confused as to why Australia is in that list, we've never been under a dictatorship and the United States has never helped to remove a power in Aus. Nor have they directly been responsible for 1000's of deaths. Trina, I don't intend this is a mean way, but you do know that Australia is
Does it make any difference that Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian, was born a Christian? I can't seem to find any record that he converted to Islam, at least officially. He was, at various times, a member of Baptist and Seventh Day Adventist churches, but he doesn't seem to fit the Muslim Extremist profile.

The first thing that you have to understand is that New York is the center of the civilized world. Just ask anyone that lives there! New Yawkers are the most parochial people in the world. Their universe is small and self-contained. Going to New Jersey is considered travel abroad. They are constantly puzzled that the world doesn't share their opinions. By the way, no one from Manhattan would actually consider Lon Gisland (that's how
Two things jump out at me reading this blog and the subsequent comments. The first is the damage that can be caused by an off-hand, casually tossed out remark from someone in power. As the former of a sports team, the Texas Rangers baseball team, President Bush should have known that you never say something that will end up on the lockers of an opposing team, that you never provide motivation to the oppositio
The best political insults of recent time came from former Vice President Spiro Agnew. My favorite is his comment about the press, "In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H Club - the 'hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history." Source (and other good quotes) at http://mindyourownbusiness.com/famous_insults.htm Of course Agnew, who had been mayor of Balti
Hi, O G San. Please allow me to correct some facts. You said "For Abbas only made this remark in reaction to the firnig of an Israeli tank shell which killed seven Palestinian children in Gaza." That is NOT accurate. It ws not seven children. Seven people were killed after an Israeli tank returned fire, after a group of masked Palestinians launched mortar shells that injured an Israeli woman. Source: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ar
A long time ago I heard these words of Wisdom from a tech: There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who do back up their files and those who WILL back up their files. If your are like most people in the world, you don't think about backing up until you experience some kind of fatal error. You get a virus, your hard drive begins to fail, etc. Then you scramble around trying to back up your crucial files. I have learned form experi
Thank you for posting this. It is important to remember our humanity, to find the common ground. When we fight the terrorist, we must not become the very thing that we hate. Isaac and Ismael were reunited at the death of Abraham and remembered that they were brothers. Shalom/salaam.
Wait a sec. I thought you were working at Stardock. What happened? Multitasking. I work at Stardock (well, sort of. They let me hang out and answer the phones.) I also teach Sunday School. Rock on, Cordelia! Let Lesson Plans be your friends. Plan too much content, cover only half and y
It may take a dozen years to come to fruition.......but it won't ever happen if we don't start now.
Let me respond that it was not my intention to denigrate any countries efforts. (Well, except for perhaps Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, that seem more willing to provide weapons for terrorists than to aid the needy.) But the numbers of course keep changing as new announcements are made. Cactoblasta wrote on 1/5/05 that: <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-T
This is not officially confirmed, but has been reported in a number of places. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is believed to have been captured in a raid east of Baghdad. Al-Zarqawi was recently dubbed as Bib Laden's senior deputy and "as al Qaeda's leader in Iraq." Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian by birth, is one of the senior terrorists in the Middle East. On Sunday
Thank you all for commenting. Let me offer some recent facts. My source is here: http://www.freep.com/news/nw/quake4e_20050104.htm (although you can find corroboration elsewhere on the web.)

America has committed $350 million in aid to the survivors of the tsunami in Asia, becoming the second largest financial donor. (Japan, bless it's generosity, has committed $500 million in aid.) The US has also committed our ships, planes, helicopters and a 1000-bed hospital ship, the the USNS Mercy, to the efforts to help the victims of the devastation. President Bus
Reply #26 By: liberalwithbackbone - 12/23/2004 3:57:54 PM I would just like to point out that a central core of Islam is peace and tolerance of other religions. How do you reconcile that with the Quran? Some quotes from the Quran: "Take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against suc
"for playing secular Christmas Music at their holiday concert" Did you mean religious music? Secular means "worldly" as opposed to religious. Unless you mean that they were criticized for playing music that wasn't religious enough. It has already been posted in several places that, following the text of the Bible, December 25th was NOT the day that Jesus was born. Mary and Joseph were, according to the Bible, in route to
I'm a little late this year, but let me wish Happy Hanukkah to all. Although best known as a Jewish holiday, Hanukkah is a celebration of the triumph of freedom over oppression, a theme that we can all relate to. If you are not familiar with the story of Hanukkah, I have posted a link to my JoeUser blog which explains the history behind the holiday. At t
Just a quick note. "Cardinal Blue" should actually be listed as "Cardinal skin Blue" and is the work of Pixel Pirate. All the icon sets discussed are gorgeous.
Excellent article. Thanks for posting it. Frightlever, do you mean the Six Day War? You say that nothing else is relevant, that this is the defining event in Islam's attacks on the West, and you don't get the name right? Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War There is a good section on Arab Revisionism there. Here is an article on the Muslim invasion of Spain in 711, three hundred years BEFORE the Crusades: http
Interesting article at CNN. Merriam-Webster Inc. said on Tuesday that blog was one of the most looked-up words on its Internet sites this year. Their definition is "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks." How do I get them to add "See JoeUser.com for example?" </f
At Nicea, in the third century AD, Christianity became the state religion of the heretofore pagan Roman Empire. There were many compromises made, including the incorporation of pagan symbols and dates. Dan Brown, author of the Da Vinci Code, views Nicea as part of a vast conspiracy. I don't. The message of Christianity was not diluted. What difference does it make when we celebrate the birth of Jesus, if we choose to celebrate it at all? Okay,
Don't blame IE. it looks as though your Dell came with some 3rd party software pre-installed. Gteko is "a leading provider of support automation software solutions that enhance and expand automated and remote technical support capabilities." Based out of Raanana, Israel, Gtecko provides "Online support automation software (eSupport) for PC and peripherals manufacturers, internet service providers, software vendors and corporate IT departments.
Excellent article. I considered writing a post about the abscence of substantive planks in the Democratic platform, but didn't have the time. The single biggest challenge that we face today is to get the economy back on track. Please, no comments about who is to blame. This country has survived two bankrupticies of epic proportions (MCI and Enron), the 9/11 catastophe and the on-going war on terror. We need to get our economy moving and to res
An interesting article on the SKS rifle appears at: http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5100076.html "John Monson, owner of Bill's Gun Shop and Range in Robbinsdale, regularly stocks "two or three" SKS semiautomatic rifles of the kind authorities said Chai Soua Vang of St. Paul used to kill six people and wound two others. The weapon is often misrepresented as an "assault" rifle, Monson said, but the popular "sporterized," or hunti
