Reply to Add Some Magic To Your Desktop with Abracadabra from Stardock Design! in Press Room JoeUser Forums

Strict seperation of church and state is very important to a nation's wellbeing, especially in one as diverse as our own. If some small religious token is allowed now, then that makes it possible that there will be more in the future. Some fear that one day it could lead to a state sanctioned religion.

Reply to Over supply of Big Mac in Misc JoeUser Forums

I live about 12 blocks from work, so I walk every morning. On my way to work I pass 3 Starbucks, 2 other coffee shops, Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, and 4 convenience stores. The neighborhood I start out in is 100% residential.

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

Sorry, but if you are using that poll as your only source for what the Europeans think of Israel, you may be allowing yourself to be grossly mislead. This poll only surveyed 500 people. That is far to few to get an accurate assessment. Also, with a sample size that small it would be way too easy to manipulate the results.

"If You Don't Like this Country, Then Get Out" I have always found that to be amusing as well, at least in a sick, sad way. How about this, "If you don't like this country, then get involved in changing it." That is much more represenative of what this country is about.

Reply to When in doubt, blame the Republicans in Politics JoeUser Forums

But aren't the Republicans typically against environmental legislation? As for China, there is good and bad there. The bad is that the US has lost a lot of jobs to them. The good is that this rise in income has empowered their people. As a result they are becoming more westernized and are demanding more personal liberties. If China becomes more like us, it's much more likely that we will become allies and therefore less likely that China will ever be a threat to us militarily. But then

Reply to everything is grey. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Well, what I have figured out about life so far can be summed up in two points 1. The purpose of life is to be happy. 2. True and lasting happiness can only be known by being able to fully appreciate *this* moment. As for the explanations as to why these two points are true, that would take many pages to explain.

"There is no right-wing equivalent of Al Franken or Michael Moore."--Draginol Well, I can't really comment on that because I tend to ignore extremist propaganda no matter where it comes from. Al Franken, Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh, that way right wing inflamatory blonde woman (no idea what her name is, saw her speaking on tv once, she made me laugh out loud, then I had to turn the channel in disgust), should all be taken with a grain of salt. To point out that the comment

OK, let me try it this way... ------------------------------------------ What is it with right-wing zealots and the word "lie". It really gets under my skin. For conservatives, it seems, liberals never make mistakes. Oh no. Liberals aren't, you know, actually human. And so whenever a liberal makes a statement that turns out to be wrong, it isn't that he was mistaken, it is that he lied. Rush Limbaugh has made this into a mini-career with books like "Insert Book by Rush Limbaugh

Bah, not editing ability for "comments"... OK, there are a few exceptions to what I posted above, but essentially it holds true. What I am really try to say is that conservative and liberal zealots are really two sides of the same coin. You often come off as a zealot in your posts.

One could go through your article and swap the word "conservative" with the word "liberal" and the word "Bush" with the word "Clinton", and you article would be just as coherant and valid. Go ahead, try it. Does this exercise tell you anything?
