Sorry, BakerStreet -- that wasn't a response to your last comment. I was finishing my thought from the previous message (left half of it off somehow). We cross posted again. I doubt he's an anti-Semite, too. It just looked bad, especially when one paragraph is taken from a longer comment and placed into a totally different context. I just
Look at some of the assumptions behind/things inferable from/implied by his comments (especially if someone's already of that bent of mind): Jews are rich. Jews are powerful. Jews are a secret force that controls other countries. Jews make war. Jews want to use their power, money, control, to get other countries (i.e., America) to do their dirty work. (C'mon you've heard that again-and-again from Arabs since the war b
What has he said about Jews? What has he said that made any sort of judgement about them racially, or anything other that the political relationship with America? . . . I have to admit I am not seeing this one. I think it's not so much the content as the tone that can be inferred from it
i saw a guy standing on the road with a "Will Work for Food" sign when i was on my way to Burger King one afternoon, so in addition to my own lunch, i purchased him a combo meal. This asshole literally threw the bag back in my car after he looked inside it and told me...."nahhh fuck that, i need some money." <BR
Wow. That's a pretty shocking statement. I went to Google to look it up -- disbelieving he could have actually said it, but he did. At a National Press Club luncheon. http://www.vote-smart.org/speech_detail.php?speech_id=M000037688 Not only that, but the transcript notes "(Applause.)" after that paragraph. Huh? In context it looks like he was contrasting th

Insightful and interesting article, Beebles.
The first one with the Orthodox bullet is hilarious.
Without commenting on the conspiracy theory at the end... after recovering, allawi practiced medicine until the early 90s when he founded the iraqi national accord and began working for the cia and mi6. Considering how often people the CIA props up turn around and bite us on the rear, you w

Handing Iraq back over to its people early must have thrown a wrench into al Qaeda's plans. They want America in Iraq. Al Qaeda saw Iraq as "a new front" in their Jihad against the West. If they couldn't smuggle themselves into America to mass murder Americ
I am very pleased to get along so well with the many Australians we have here on JU. I'm so glad they were able to put that horrible incident of the early 90's behind them and move on. In 1994, shortly after a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook nearby Northridge Ca
Dang -- there used to be some three clause "scientific definition of life." One of them was something like "Can recognize, respond, and adapt to outside stimulus." Haven't the foggiest what the other two were (maybe when I'm actually awake). ("Can reproduce" may have been one of the criteria....) That def. stood pretty well for a while. Then some jokers made these little AI "birds" (just blips on a monitor, really) that used a few simple rul
by altering his playing to hide the fact that he had heard the fugues/music (by producing a performance utterly lacking any of their elements) is typical of the effect of criticism on the creative mind. Interesting. There are times when I'll not have anything to do with something similar to what I'm wo
"well, THAT got the old blood pumping, nudge-nudge, wink wink" Well, you didn't tell me you were offended when I said that to you. Sheesh. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quot
well. i will choose to take that to mean that women are so overcome by the sheer magnitude of your presence that they erupt into helpless nervous giggling as a purely defensive mechanism against the raw animal sexuality oozing from your every pore. Yeah, that one, how'd you know? <img src="../images/smi
Pssst, dude, Teegstar's totally hot.
when do gene and I get our royalties Oh. Are we supposed to get 10% of the points or something?
I have had this DVD sitting in my living room for around 2 years or so and I love this movie but probably not enough to get another edition of it for the 30th anniversary... Don't you hate it when they do that? I have 3 versions of Halloween.
You're right...that's hilarious! I first heard that more than 10 years ago. I still break out laughing every time I think about it.
i was laughing before i even opened the comment. That's okay. I'm used to women bursting out laughing before I even open my mouth.... are you ok ? </TABLE
Well, if I did this right, only a handful of you are able to see this. Since most of you use the forums (and I won't be posting these there) you still probably aren't seeing this. There are some thi
Seriously though, I had read this earlier, pre-"blue dress." I just didn't have anything to say. I don't know what to say to the poetry around here. I haven't commented on poetry since I was Critic in Residence of a writers' group ages ago. That was a whole different kind of commenting; critiquing really. Here -- I just don't really have anything to say. Sorry.
Blah. C'mon. Don't say you didn't see that coming, after your request on "if love is a blue dress."
