My goodness, so I post actual FACT, and you tell me it is anti-French? Certainly it deviates from your allegations against the US, however, it is fact. Spending just a bit of time researching UNSCOM documents, OPEC.COM, MBECKI, and many other sites that provide online research will reconfirm my post. While the arguement that the war was for "oil" can not apply to the US, the arguement against another Iraqi invasion by France, Russia, and China based on the facts, suggests that it was

The Report is a matter of public record. What pulic record? It is not so much a report as an accusation. There is a difference. And I can come up with valid documentation to dispute it.

Its 0237 right now and I am not tired. Its nothing unusual, because right now I have a lot on my mind. My friend and I are trying to get a business off the ground, its nothing major, but it is OURS, and that makes it very important to us. Right now we have more going out than coming in, and I am dreading having to tell my husband that I need to take $300 of his hard earned money to pay 3 business bills. This coming election is also starting to cook in my mind, and I am really worry
Oh, Holly my heart and support are with you. Its bad enough having to deal with weightloss, but having problems in joints (especially knees) just makes it worse. I hope you have someone that can take your kids over while you are recovering and rehabilitating after you surgery. You definitely don't need anymore stress. I don't know if you have tried the carb counting thing, but cutting carbs really does work, at least from what I have seen with my girlfriend, my husband and myself. B
"I do not believe that anyone would lift a finger if Muslims were offed en masse." Bad bad claim. US special forces trained Afghanis during the Soviet invasion, and because Bin Laden was heading up one of the units that received the training, "Bush has ties to Osama, Osama was a CIA Operative, and the CIA trained Osama and the al Queda" all conspiracies that resulted in the US putting forth efforts to save a lot of Muslim lives. Yugoslavia - Serbs were doing to Muslims what
Muggaz what makes you think these are ideals? Believing in a right or left or center is an ideal. Communism, Capitolism, and Socialism are all ideals. My ideals - 9/11 was a terrible event, the loss of human life was tragic, however I beleive the US did not have the right to bomb Afghanistan after 9/11 - take more hu
" Damouse70, again I think you misread me. I have absolutely no intention of suggesting that the US should not support Israel. I do believe it should sometimes take a more even handed approach to politics in the area (and it's condemnation of the physical barrier does indeed do that). Previous attitudes of condemning only Palestinian attrocities was one sided. The Palestinian woman was the recent suicide
The Anthrax vaccine in question was developed back in the late 50s. The only thing that ever made this vaccine experimental was when the US Army wanted to find out if a soldier was protected against the use of Anthrax during biowarfare, after only receiving the initial series of vaccines but without the booster etc.. The attenuation of the vaccine was never modified, the content of the vaccine was never changed. This same vaccine has been us
Exactly Brad! People come online and rant about "ignorant" Americans, and then do absolutely nothing but show how stupid they are. Its aggravating. People will call me a "sheep" because I am not writing something that they want to hear, regardless of where they are from. I can know everything there is to know about the subject matter, and I am being attacked, but not given anything relevant. Its so funny though, because (I think) most of these people are at least adults, but
Occult wanting for the same things is not reflective of independent thought. Everyone wants a car but that does not mean that everyone thinks the same. Wanting a diamond does not make you more shallow. You pose something interesting, can a multicultural society be multicultural? This sounds dumb I know, but given the way so many "values" and perceptions are defined today, is it possible to accept that the US is one society that is multifaceted? Can you, OccultPizza, real
Big Grats to you! I don't know what you should be prouder of kicking the drug habit only to find out you have other hurdles in your way, or drinking the wheat grass? I really mean that. You are a great example of what we can do when we get down to it. : )
If you think that 9/11 was just because of US pressence in the M.E you are very naive. I never said I thought this? I know this is not the case.
You don't have to remember dates and numbers when you debate an issue with me. I am a bitch, but I am not a mean bitch. What I want to know is what you do base your opinions on. With the internet it is easy for someone to come on and attack someone else, but when it comes down to the real meat of an issue, very few people have the fortitude to actually stick around beyond the retort and share knowledge on whatever issue is being disputed.
I bet you came here thinking I am going to rant about fat people.... Nope! I am going to talk about my own fat experience. Last June I had to go on this pill that sent my weight which had held at 132 pounds for almost 6 years soaring. Before that I was extremely thin, 107 pounds, and had had to fight to get my weight back up to at the very least my minimum weight requirement which is 134 pounds. I was not anorexic, but I was dirt poor, and so eating was not a high priority for me.
As for that disappearing article, well according to the poster, the US CIA brought Sadam and his Baath party to power, and this was supposed to be true because the poster claimed it came from the BBC, however, the poster failed to post a link confirming the article is legitimate, and even had the article been true, it did not mean that the US / CIA brought Sadam to power, it involved an interview with some 15 minutes of famer who claimed it is what hap
The article that was supposed to have been from the BBC? The one that is now gone.... No I don't think I misunderstood you. You are suggesting that the basis for what is happening today is as a result of something that happened yesterday rather than last week, and I am disagreeing with you. I have yet to read about a Palistinian mother of two blowing herself up, but I understand that for many muslims, and non-muslims alike the con
Wahkonta yes I have heard of her, and I actually had to study objectivism, but I now remember very little of it. Thank you for your reply, you put it into words far more eloquently than I did, and I appreciate that. Mr. Stevens, I tend to thing all men really are idealists. Its just so varied that it may not always be obvious. But I have yet to meet any man that is not one in some way.
It does not take 5 to 10 years for an extremist to be made, this is just silly. Recruiters do not send little muslim boys away to an extremist school to learn to hate. This is just plain silly, and it is also this dismissal of really getting to the root of the cause that insures there will never be an end to it. But then to even remotely empathize with someone that would be vulnerable to turn you would have to understand the trials of the in
Paul you site no link to assure that this article even exists, but it is an allegation being made by someone, that does not make it true. So I see your source and raise you one: From Aljazeera.NET The Iraqi Baath Party By Aljazeera Sunday 10 August 2003, 13:23 Makka Time, 10:23 GMT Shortly after the defeat of the Arab forces in Palestine in 1948, three young Syrian men arrived in Baghdad, to continue their stud
The stupid people are the people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing, and are just doing it to be doing.
You really are IGNORANT! You have absolutely no ability to debate or express any personal knowledge on any subject. I do know what Americans are saying because I read their replies. You really are ignorant. I am not saying that as a joke, or an insult, you are truelly ignorant. Bring some facts to your next debate rather than another one of your retorts or your pathetically blanketed statements that involve you speaking of your feelings
If the powers in Europe had not swindled away their power on war after war both within the continent of Europe and outside of it, that would not be the case today. However, assuming that because the US is the Superpower today therefore the US must be responsible for the result of actions from less than a hundred years ago is simply you refusing to bear any responsibility for the actions of your own people. Your opinion is that another 9/11
You are what you speak. You speak of the world in adjectives, but other than your sweeping statements what exactly are you saying? You have not said anything that actually has merit. You say "Americans" see the world as black and white, a blanketed statement that suggests you actually know the 284 million Americans and exactly what they think and see, however, you say nothing to support your allegation. You also refer to Americans as ignorant, while speaking for your people whomeve
The only way to EVER present a side of an agrument to anyone on any issue without shooting off at the mouth is to truelly know how you came to your opinion, and why. Opinions are not educated, if they were a 3 year old who proclaims spinach to by "yucky" would be raring to graduate elementary school. The validity of any opinion is solely dependent on the level of knowledge the individual sharing the opinion has on the subject matter. The unfortunate thing about today's world, as wit
