Reply to Origin of Jesus Land in Republican JoeUser Forums

When I first saw the title of this blog I thought Öh no not more arguments about THE MIDDLE EAST" instaed I was pleasently surprised to find a very amusing dig at the short sightedness of the reasons why John Kerry ost the election. As per the democrates. I always find it interesting when people loose elections they will balme everyone but themselves for the loss, not matter what the politics. I find that in most cases when this happens you can general

Reply to Misconceptions about Liberals in Democrat JoeUser Forums

I find that both articles are confusing the difference between the parties and thier respective policies and actins with Liberalism and Conservativeism, Left is no Liberal, but Supposedly Democrate is, and supposedly he opposite is correct for the Republicans. You are confusing political Tdeology with Attitudes of people, the articles would have been more accurate had they discussed the merits of the parties ideology or the difference between Con and L

Actually, according to Champas, who is Australian, their liberal party is very conservative. So you are wrong. Dr Guy I am also Australian, and you are not wrong or right, The Australian Liberal Party is usually labled as conservative, however their parties ideology is based on the Liberal Ideals, you seem to think one has to be a raging left wing Pinko to be Liberal, when this is not correct, as I said the LIBERAL party is made up of ma

Sorry Larry, I should have picked this up, I suppose sometimes we all get a bit thin skinned, I do appreciate what you are saying and do love the sarcasism intended, and agree, thanks.

Larry Kuperman , while you are patting yourself on the back, I feel it only fair to pat some others who apparently gave less, he is a small selection from the list, Germany $800 million, Japan (which you did mention $600 million, Australia (which by the is the country which spearheaded the efforts from day 1) has sent Ships, soldiers, set up a majority of infrastructure in most countries including water, hospitals, Several Choppers, including Blackha

drmiler, we all call a liberal a liberal, it has the same defination the world over, variations may occur on what you percieve as liberals. I would also like to add that in todays age of communication, for you to make the comment that others would not understand what you are talking about is pure bullshit. On forign policy I would suggest that you have the same arrogant attitude which many people find so offensive about US policy, however I agree that

Wow some people do tend to get carried away, on such a enjoyable fantasy as the Potter series, these books do no promote devil worship or the black arts, if anyone were to take notice the theme is generally the same old one good "V" evil, some people are so hung up on church teaching and hiding behind their own myths, they tend to miss the messages of Jesus, you know like love thy neighbour, respect other and be tolerant and compasionate, I see a lot o

drmiler, what you need to understand is that forign policy is a countries way of dealing with its neibhours, thus whilist it may be YOUR forign policy it is the rest of us that get affected by it, that makes it our business, whether you like it or not, so we do have the right to object, what non US citizens don't have the right to do is dictate domestic policy to you, which I might remind you is exactly what the US administration seems to think forign

Reply to Misconceptions about Liberals in Democrat JoeUser Forums

I really find both arguments to be very uninformed and biased from people who wish to malign those who are different or choose to have different philosphies, the reality is that none of the arguments were very correct or well reasearced, except to prove their argument with some facts on who did and did not do what. The reality is that many from the left are very aware of history as are those from the consertative ilk, try learning the true menaing

What's funny is that in the end, the liberal still didn't even bother himself to directly help the elderly across the street. Instead, he's now having others do it for him, and taking all the credit." Yes you're right. It's probably not that accurate but I was hoping to allow you tories/frogs/libs the chance to have a laugh at the joke too. One could also see this as the perfect demonstration of something a friend said to me recently: you need

Reply to US, Australia do the work, UN takes the credit in Current Events JoeUser Forums

And why would the world take less notice of Australia than any other country, I find it strange that the US administration believes that Australia is worthwhile friend. I do not believe you have to be big to be noticed, just getting on with the job. Interestingly it was Australia that led the talks which finally finished the racist structure of South Africa, or the fact that the US puts some much importance on taking australia with whenever it has a jo

Not a new reply just had a smoke, one more thought, the so called Liberal Left, the ones we always hear from that is are a small but loud minority that have a very jaded view of the world, and very unrealistic, they are also very much of the I know best, therefore I do not need to listen for I know", which is the majority of people who control the Democrates, this attitude is what lost the Democrates and the Australian Labour party their respective ele

I find it interesting that the article was about possibly a flwaed premis however by the time one gets through all the replies you get completely lost by nitpicking over points of fact and accuracy, I find this interesting because this is just what happens in Congress/Parliment, no-one can see the wood for the trees, the reality is all parties are made up of different people, some left some right some centre, some good some not so good some just plain

when is a H a H in Humor JoeUser Forums

Often when I watch TV and the show or news or whatever is from the US or Canada, I notice that you have difficulty with the H and in some cases some other letters, an example being the word herb, pronounced in most english speaking nations as HER-B not as the USA does ERB. Now some say that H should be silent, and maybe it should, however if you stick to this premis t

Reply to typical leftwing hypocrasy in Politics JoeUser Forums

I'm from the left, I have one wish, this is that one day politicans will try to do what is best for us and discuss issues in this context, not the usual muckracking we see today. By this I mean most political groups spend more time bitching about each other than they do actually putting their idaes into practice, this happens the world over. Imagin if just once we had a government and an opposition that did what we elected them for, that is Govern, yo

I find it sad that people who use this or any site would then take the step to threaten any person who expresses a point of view different to their own. While I almost never agree with Brad, I do understand where he is coming from as I do with many others who may not express my ideas, and I believe if we are to act as civilised people we accept these differences, argu with them but above all respect the persons right to express them unless they are so

Just on the fox issue, unless something has ghanged since I went to bed last night, Rupert Murdock owns Fox. He does not follow or promote any side of politics in any of his publications, he does however favor those who provide an enviroment in which he can grow his business, thus in most cases you will see his media outlets promoting whom ever stratches his back, as evidence of this I have seen in Australia, where he owns a considerable section of th

Not being a citizen of your great country I can only comment on what I have learnt through reading history and as many points of virw on which ever subject I am interested in, this would lead me to agree at first with Draginol. While I would call myself a left leaning type, I do believe that in many cases the left always believe they are correct and generally rely directly only on commentators they agree/who express the same point of view, how

Sorry Brad on this one I have to agree with David, assuming the population of the US is approx 300 million, Australia 20million, US 83 medals , Australia 43 Medals, and I know these are not final figures, however now lets see who dominates sports, on a per capita basis the Aussies wipe the floor with you guys, not that I want to be seen as an ugly Australian, but you gotta admit that this year was not the best for the big superpowers as far as medals

Timely that I read this comment, I have just finished watching a documentary about the reactions of Iraqi people, and pretty much the comments were the same. Most went like this, "We appreciate the effprts of the Coalition forces in getting ride odf Saddam, however, that was last year, they are still here, so now they are the occupiers, they are the new oppressors", or "if they wish to rebuild our country and give us freedome, then stop telling us wha

Personally Craig, if you are going to stick your head in a lion's mouth then you may loose it. Why it is neccessary for a bunch of republicans to join a march , which is protesting their party as much as anything. Looks to me like you went looking for it.
