Oh, and three Cheers to Brad, someone I hardly ever agree with, but do respect a good deal, even if he is wrong most of the time..., for starting this article. Cheers Cheers Cheers
::sighs:: AR-15. Sometimes your right-wing extremism surprises even me, who recognizes such extremists as Dr. Laura, Rush, and Rev. Falwell. However, I ask if you've ever even listened to "Imagine"? Now while there are some that could argue, as you apparently did, that it was about forming a communist society, the song doesn't mention such communist ideals as income redistribution, heavy subsidies, massiv
I've just finished compiling the multiple choice data for my intro to American History Course, so I thought I'd share a joke that relates to this post. "What's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?" "About $100,000 a year" Cheers
Promise this is actually my last post, but my questions were rhetorical in nature.
Regrettably I have been spending too much time here fighting the good fight both with and against many of you. Unfortunately I have midterms coming up and I regret that making/grading them will take up a good deal of my time in the next couple weeks. I will check in when I can and perhaps add something to the discussion, but alas, until approximately the end of february my full concentration must be on my job. I know that will make some of you very
Unfortunately Brad's analysis is slightly skewed. For a slight skew in the other direction see my response to his post in "Republicans freed the slaves...."
I got to say that I loved this stat enough to share it though. Now why wasn't it included in the original presentation of numbers? Lieberman Religion Make Him All Gore Bush Buchanan Nader Better V.P. 17 % 61 % 36 % 1 % 1 % Worse V.P. 8 % 22 % 72
Unless of course the Democrat voters out there realized that there was very little chance of Dean beating Bush in November...
Hmmmm, Being a champion against gross misuse of statistics, in spite of what Brad says, it seems to me that, yes by gum, the statistics that are presented in fact do not prove any of Brad's points! Sorry to say, but I'm agreeing with the post that claims a difference of 1-3% between right-left is not statistically relevant. Alright, there may be more statistics being kept on the sidelines, but what exactly
and some Democrat must have really wronged you at some point to be so neurotic about it all the time He thinks I called him a racist. But more to the point. While it's true that Democrats "bet the farm" on slavery and we lost, so what? We admitted we were wrong, we moved on and now we're better for i
Well, with nearly all of the votes in and counted it appears as if Kerry will win by a commanding lead in five of the seven states. The only two exceptions being South Carolina, won by Edwards and Oklahoma which is running to close to call but with Retired General Wes Clark declaring himself the winner. Cheers
Three Dean hoots for my buddy jeblackstar! ::laughs:: I'm not sure to take that as a compliment or not. But supposing it is, thanks, and absolutely, having lived in states still dominated by dixiecrats they are ingrates and racists. Cheers
Thanks for the answer Frogboy. For the other half of my post though, Will it be possible to win as a radical canidate?
I think that the correct statement would be that there are fanatics in every country. The question is the degree of control the country has over their fanaticism. To imply that there are a huge number of christians who particpate in, say, Taliban-style executions is ludicrious. There are extremists here in the US, but Weltregierung, you insult all of us "good christians" who condemn our own extremists. Yee gods, Brad and I agree and disagr
Well, I'm going to have disagree with you there Brad, and I'll tell you why. The South walked out of the democratic party at about the same time that LBJ introduced his civil rights agenda. You're right that the democrats did all those Jim Crow and bigotted laws in the south, but it was at the same time the Democrats tried to reverse them that they became Dixiecrats and then Republicans. Also, to look at v
If three years aren't steady what would you like a decade? I was speaking of trends here, and statistically speaking three years is a trend setting number. I'm not blaming anyone despite the way my post was set up, and I do apologize for that. I was merely putting a start date for anyone who wanted to know, since I knew someone would ask. I was just commenting on the sad state of affairs in Oregon. Cheers
Thank God for you Wisefawn, now I have some backup against the forces of anti-poor people. By the way, I just read some interesting statistics that come from the U.S. department of Labor. There has been, admittedly this is just in Oregon so I can't say for everyone else, a steadily growing percentage of working people who are below the poverty line. Not good, oh and for those people who want to know the when of it, starting during George Bush's fir
And presumably the issues upon which our canidates stump will be like the "good" and "evil" in galciv. But will it actually be possible to win with a radical canidate?
So Frogboy, will there be third parties that pop up to "steal" votes? I know in Oregon, Gore almost lost the state because of Nader supporters. It would add extra complexity, but it would make things interesting.
Cheers to Kennedy and Stevendedalus. I used to live in a southern state and considered myself a raging liberal. Then I moved to Oregon and realized I was a moderate. Funny how prospective works.
Not sure if people had the chance to read the article, but it's about Senator Edwards getting stopped by airport officials for carrying a pen knife after "heightened security measures" were put into place. Surely one of the writers out there has a good conspiracy theory about this
You bet your Canadian backside it's scary. As someone who listens to country music, I repeatedly force myself to listen to "lesser" forms of music when one of Toby Keith's songs come on. I think his radical jingoism and misogyny are perfect examples of the arrogance of American culture
Of course, if aliens could move across the galaxy, why would they come here? I mean there would be dozens of stars, if not hundreds of stars nearer them that have nonsentient life that could support our type of life. This is using that infamous equation that predicts the amount of life in the universe. So, why come here?
::Accepts slap on wrist:: Now, back to my point, attempted genocide can be shortened to just genocide in common parlance, therefore both are acts of genocide, just incomplete ones. And as for whether it was planned, the american generals who provided the blankets knew what cholera would do without treatment, so yes, I think there was some plan to get rid of certain groups of Native Americans</font
Thanks Brad, I admit my experiences have been more than average positive. However your statistics show that more should be done to help those people who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol and those who are mentally ill.
