Reply to Another Gunman, Another Woman in Current Events JoeUser Forums

[quote]In any type of tactical training one of the things they teach you is to fight only with an equal or greater force unless you have a tactical advantage. So like I said earlier a handbag against a gun is NOT a greater or equal force. Obviously it didn't work. Neither do you attempt to fight a gun with a knife. Again it's a lesser force. But if you have a tactical advantage you can use the lesser force successfully. So for instance if a man with a knife comes up behind a gunman and is abl

KFC Didn't mean to sound so sharp, it is just so simple for me to decide FIRST if there is merit, and if I do not find any, I try NOT to allow myself to be emotionally drawn into a fight because that is all you will find there. Of course there is misery, death and destruction and people are crushed on both sides of the 'argument': But I thought the issue of abortion <span

I do not see what the problem is here. There is no doubt of the right or wrong of it ... IS THERE? If you see some vantage point in stating the obvious, well I don’t see it. I am sure the people you reference and their ilk can supply just as many examples in support of their warped arguments as you can … it does not matter. All you end up do

Reply to Lost My Mother in Help JoeUser Forums

Amit; I as the others feel your pain. I am in the process of going through it now myself. (My GOODNESS I am 58???). Best of luck! My Mother just couldn’t live by herself anymore (she just wanted independence). I had been trying for years to get her to come live here. My mother has been bouncing around so much of late, but it never worked out for her. She was not religious enough for my youngest brother ( she is a Christian ?

Blood Diamonds … the movie 1999 (R) in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

There are so many real time tragedies that it would be impossible to list them all. But the simple truth as brought out in the beginning is that whenever a substance of value is found (diamonds here) in an undeveloped local, it is a virtual death sentence for the local population . These people just want to live life without conscription ( in the cause of others). Thank whomever th

Anthony; [quote]Perhaps I spoke too soon. I know the Mid East is a giant mental institution and that we should probably wait for a while to see what shakes out, but the fall of Ghaddafi in Tripoli and the potential toppling of the Iranian Mullahs leads me to reconsider whether I should totally give up on Bush's policy. If Ghaddafi and the Iranian Mullahs fall and are replaced with pro western regimes, or at least non threatening ones , t

Leaki, that is nice ... resent to your heart’s content (I am blond and blue eyed like most). I certainly meant nothing cryptic or accusatory or demeaning ... but it was nice of you to apply it to you and Japan . I Think there might be a few more examples to site first though, don't you?

Hello Boots I guess I am out of place because I DO NOT want to argue with anyone, I just want an honest exchange of ideas and thoughts, not very easy to find though. When I need to argue, all I have to do is say hello to my grandson and I have more than enough. I am tired of accusations as opposed to questions. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

I of course agree that Obama is a failure on all fronts, but what is this about Bush? I think a better scenario might go like this … Bush’s first term I can mostly live with, but not so the second term. Anyway, it seemed to me that Bush was ‘ trying ’ to weaken his own Party for who knows what reasons. My WAG is that he was setting up a scenario were the Dems (Obama

Sorry Lulu I got ahead of myself ... here is the correction. [quote] When it comes to attaining the truth yes, of course, we must always begin with ourselves. We would be totally incapable of seeing the truth "out there" if we did not first have a truthful conception of who and what each of us, as individuals, really are.

To say something is ontolocally true is to do no more than acknowledge that is really exists. To be true in this sense simmply means to be an indisputable matter of fact. But som
