ParaTed, I am sorry you were so emotionally upset by the images. I did post a very strong warning about graphic violent images. But again, my point was not to disrespect anyone. It was to emphasize the horrors of war to those who otherwise have this gung-ho, kill the towelheads attitude. And, I wanted to show that even the "towelheads" are human. They have families. children and fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters. The images weren't ju

Depravity is sending people to war for no good reason. There is nothing more depraved than that. Except of course, cheering on the depraved war effort.

You cavalierly parade these images on your site, hoping to elicit an emotional reaction. I do not cavalierly do anything. And most importantly, I don't advocate cavalierly sending our men and women to another country to preemptively attack, kill their men and women and children, all for some dubious WM

See, I didn't get that from Dabe's post. I think that she was merely trying to put a human face on this debacle That is exactly true. And, the more human we make it, the more I'd hope that people will not so readily take up arms, particularly for a questionable endeavor. I hope that if people see the

Now how about the other Bush political hacks that were dumped into FEMA with NO EXPERIENCE. Chertoff comes immediately to mind.

But do they WANT it? Do they want to become westernized? Isn't it wrong of us to go around flexing our arm and forcing our way of life upon people who may not want it? If it wasn't this country, it would be another. There's always going to be conflict, I understand that. However, I'd rather it was a conflict for honest hum

Dabe, how was any of that impolite, Unbelievable. Yup, we definitely had different kinds of upbringings. You are rude, and you don't know it. You are condescending, and you don't know it. You're holier-than-thou attitude is rude, condescending and pompous. And, one more thing - IMPOLITE . Yo

Where is the name-calling? I know I called her a potty-mouth, yes, but she is....such language is completely uncalled for in a polite discusion. It had nothing to do with her political views. Insults are deemed "polite" in your mind, as long as they don't include swear words? Hmmmmmmmmm.............. T

You're in the game for keeps, and it affects you more personally than many of those anti-war horn blowers and pot-bangers around here, who are only against it for their own reasons. I guess one has to be a military spouse in order for you to accept their feelings against the war. All others are just "a

You don't want to debate. You just want to show me the error of my thinking. For once, I agree. Thank you, Dharma!

I think you should be in prison with the rest of those who molest others for fun. Great. Let's just imprison all the dubya protesters. Forget about the First Amendment. Forget about the democracy we are supposedly fighting for. May as well just admit you'd prefer a fascist nation. It would be so muc

I have no desire to argue with you about how I feel about the Iraq debaucle. You already know my feelings. So, now just carry on conversations among yourselves and pat yourselves on the back for the wonderful killing spree we are undertaking for the name of dubya and his fucking oil obsession.

A day late. A dollar short. And, thank God. I guess now he'll go work for his ol' buddy, Allbaugh, at Halliburton.

Reply to Who's to blame for failure of peace? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

As much as I would love for there to be peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, I doubt it will happen. The Pals don't want peace. They want Israel to be gone. Period. I sometimes think that if Gaza becomes Palestinian, and they continue to fire mortars into Israel, as the separate nation now which is what they "fought" for, Israel can consider it to be an act of war, and respond accordingly. Before, when Israel was the "occupier"

The vast majority of the enemy forces, from what I'm able to glean, is Islamic insurgents coming from outside that nation. They come to "liberate" Iraq from the demoracy it seeks to establish. "Liberating from democracy" is almost an oxymoron, from my perspective. Yeah, that's true. In our stupid attempt t

Disaster Used as Political Payoff in Politics JoeUser Forums

It's like adding insult to injury. First FEMA furks up the job of disaster relief. But, that's not enough for them. No. They have to funnel FEMA payoffs to their buddies and cronies and other asswipes that the dubya dummies call their friends. But, this example goes beyond the pale (whatever that threshold is), and is a slap to every American, and certainly to ev

Reply to National Geographic's prediction came to pass in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Remember, dubya declared a federal emergency three days before Katrina made landfall. Not to absolve the local politicos of some responsibility, but as a nationally declared disaster, it was encumbent upon the federal authorities to mobilize their disaster relief. In fact, they did. But then, they didn't deliver it. All the water, food, medical supplies, mobile surgical units, etc. sat and sat and sat and sat, for a week after landfall befor

It was a given that as soon as the Israelis left, the synagogues would be the first to burn. That's what they do. They hate Jews. It's instilled into their minds from Day One. They learn it at school, and they believe with all their hearts that Jews are their blood enemies. I am generalizing here, because I know that there are quite a few Palestinians who just want peace, who are willing to work with and live with Israelis. But, they ar
