All he indicated was that we have a military presence around the country.

Lula, all this looking into stuff not high on my list of things to research, has caused me to reflect of a possible problem in my conclusions, humm… there is one possibility I can grant you. We aren’t technologically intelligent enough to prove your irrationality … but we might be one day … but that day is not today. This is why our conversations are so paradoxical. You claim God alone has infinite wisdom and knowledge of which mankind is incapable of even und
It seems that reading on their own is too difficult, maybe the picture method will do it ... it works for the other children who know everything ... too. If you think there is some magnanimous reasons from the USG to “HELP” save all those idiots from themselves … and that “OIL” has nothing to do with things … think again! Bin Laden was never even charged with the murders of 9/11 ... because there was not enough evidence to charge him ... but as is us

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="291" id="2940169"]I do fully agree with you about the pairing of "Conspiracy" and "Nut" being automatically associated--sometimes there are conspiracies and not everyone looking at them are nuts. We should question everything and demanding clear explanations and transparency is never a problem. And, sure, the press isn't helping greatly in this[/quote]And while you are questioning everyone else ... the benign USG gets a "go past jail" card because of what ...

From the Manitoba Herald: May 10, 2011 The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration.

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="280" id="2939829"]Sinperium[/quote]There are no bad governments. It they all were run under their own ideals ... it just wouldn't matter. There are just bad people who monopolize and manipulate the moral values normally for financial gain (power). But all countries are nationalistic, just as we are. And they value their lives and sovereignty as much as we do. But this is where the problem exasperates itself … Americans are particularly hypocritic

Lula, first I do not know that evolution is true, it is just a working and physically plausible theory. No irrational input can be accepted unless it can be independently substantiated and that is where your problems lay. The sciences have failed you, our current empirical knowledge has failed you and your theology has failed you … so it has to go back to the irrational thought that all it takes is faith first (?) … just what the USG is asking for too, go figure. Make up our own
