Reply to Do You Really Want to Be Tested on This? in Religion JoeUser Forums

To me, it seems to come down to faith. You believe that the Bible is not only the inspired word of God, but the actual word of God and your belief in the eventual destination of Good and Bad people is influenced by that belief. A Muslim, Hindu, Muslim, etc would say that you are wrong, due to their own belief system and their sacred texts. In reality we don’t know for sure. Maybe it’s pass/fail….maybe it’s all pass….that would be a k

Reply to What is the internet to you? in Living in Cyberspace JoeUser Forums

The Internet is now, what it has always been since its inception. A conveyance of information. The type, veracity and value of the information is up to the author and receiver. The size of the net and the number of citizens that now have acceess to it have grown incredibly which has resulted in a glut of information. Some useful, some interesting, most not to the general populace, but imortant to someone. IG

Reply to Separation of Church & State in Current Events JoeUser Forums

To successfully separate the church and state, we would need all of our politicians to be atheist Not necessarily so.

What about Chavez? He comes to my country and calls my President (Republican or Democrat) the devil! There was a day in our history when he may not have made it out of here alive because the out rage would have been so great! Yet, we tolerated it. >>>> He can speak like that because we as a nation believe that a person has a right to voice his opinion in a public and private forum without restriction, provided the language is not obscen

Reply to Do You Like Pussy? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I love little pussy, her coat is so warm; And if I don't hurt her, she'll do me no harm. So I'll not pull her tail, nor drive her away But pussy and I very gently will play. She shall sit by my side, and I'll give her some food; And she'll love me because I am gentle and good. I'll pat pretty pussy, and then she will purr; And thus show her thanks for my kindness to her. But I'll not pinch her ears, not tread on her

An interesting character, but with the "hour" example: But eventually, it is all for nothing, because in the end, their hour will end no matter what you do.

My response to "Happy People" in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, it seems that LW’s article has given people cause to pause and reflect and confess the problems of their childhood. So it seems to be my turn, to confess. Unfortunately I have nothing to confess. My life for the past 40 years has been normal, as generally defined. I have never tried drugs, became intoxicated, been abused in any form by parents or siblin

I would say having two 5oo pound bombs dropped on your head qualifies as "out of action" True, but then the question is how secure was the perimmeter. The Team could have ben on guard against attack and did nothave the time for medical assistance at the time. It was reasonable to assume that t

It is by choice that they have made themselves antagonistic Anytime you try to obtain information from a person that is not willing to provide it, you have to be slightly antagonistic. An investigator or reporter at times has to provoke people with thier quesrtions. You want them not to be antagonistic.

Now, because we didn't head it off at the pass, they'll have it. That was my problem with the answer to the "was he shot" question. It's a simple question, yes, "shot" has many connotations, but even at the basic level - did he have a hole in him? It can be answered. An autopsy would determine if he d

Also you have to remember that WWII was different than this one. Londoners and Berliners in WWII went to the bunkers when the bombs dropped and the soldiers fought. The American soldier and the American people had a definitive enemy. A picture of what the German soldier looked like. A focus for his anger. This war, its all up for grabs.

The problem is, is that the situation is complicated. We do not have the manpower to expell them, we also could not prevent them from returning. Even if we expell them, the economy would take a hit. We would not have enough room to imprison them, and probation is not an answer. Add to that the fact that thier children, born in this country (I belive) are American Citizens.
