I didn't catch the whole show myself but I liked most of the top ten. I would have to say some one my personal favorites is from the movie Fight Club. It is: If you could fight any historical figure who would it be? Ghandi, I would fight Ghandi. Ew...good answer.
InfoGeek and thatoneguyinslc You are so right...Bush should move to the center because that is what won him the election. It is obvious that nearly half the country disagress with him so he should do what they want instead of what the half that actually VOTED for him want. Silly. I know...I know the nation is more divided than ever. Yep, the division is that there are winners and losers. I don't think you give a da
Kerry accomplished more in that debate then he has in the last year. Heck, why stop there...why not go for the last twenty years.
Gideon, My point was that it surprised me, not that debates are normally scored that way, but that you score them that way. Do you really think it matters if the President leans against the podium? Why? I disagree that Bush comes off as searching for his answer. He comes off as a guy that stammers and sputters and that is exactly what we expected of him. If Bill Clinton had been up there with the big pauses and the stammers it wou
Kerry probably won the debate. He has more style as a speaker, anybody can see that. Doesn't matter. He is winning the battle and losing the war. Last night Bush did not say anything different than he has said before. I think there is very little the Kerry campaign can use against him because that is what he is been saying all along. Kerry on the other hand issued what I would call a flip-flop in the middle of the debate. He is
Bush's posture was poor, he stuttered and fumbled through most of what he had to say Gideon, I find it interesting that you present this as your reason for why Kerry won the debate (more accurately you are saying Bush lost it). I would think that part of your bag would be to judge candidates on subst
Bush thinks we can go it alone. He thinks it's 1944ish. Their convention was based on that premise. It's not 1944. It's 2004 and the United States, the most powerful country in the world, cannot fight terrorism on its own. It needs to work with other nations. Nations that have their own concerns and priorities. <
How does that undermine my whole argument...because I was wrong, in your opinion, on one point? I think you are confusing what they believe and espouse with what they manage to accomplish and what they compromise on to be still favored with the electorate. I am sure on some level the plurality of conservatives want to eliminate all social programs...but I don't think that is something they are going to accomplish. I'm sorry, it was forty yea
The opponents of George W. Bush will tell you that the biggest problem with George W. Bush is that he is and continues to be George W. Bush. These same people had the same problem with Reagan until recently, when he up and stopped being Reagan. My question is what are they so afraid of? If he is really as awful as you say then he will destroy the
Brad, Reading this I just realized what the underlying rebuttal to all this will be: That's what he would have written if he realized what a dim witted, vile, election stealing, lying, misleading, shrub of a chimp he had in his unit. Luckily someone had the foresight to put words in his mouth and for that we should be thankful. Dave, The people who care about him being a draft dodger are the ones who are going t
CrispE, The real question is did CBS think the documents were authentic or did they bother to check and just ran with it? They say they have experts who looked at it, but as far as I know that haven't produced those experts. I don't know how long it took for someone to raise questions about this on the Internet but it was pretty fast. As far as I know they haven't answered those questions. They haven't brought their experts up to answer t
Gee..like that isn't predictable. It will be a multi-pronged blistering attack consisting of some or all of: Karl Rove set us up CBS made the mistake not us The documents might be fake but when still KNOW that Bush was AWOL This proves that partisan politics, like the Republicans engage in,
I kind of agree with Drag...the damage done is most severe to CBS and by association the rest of the mainstream media. I don't think it matters too much though because the only people who care are either the people who don't trust the MM anyway or will scoff at this. I doubt many converts will be made. But what it does do is really put a crimp in the "if you are going to cast aspersions on my Vietnam experience I will talk about you being AW
It is almost like someone dropped a bomb or something...or maybe blew themselves up trying to arm one.
It certainly isn't a female mind problem because Seth wants what he can't have as well. I think the problem is that people like Seth want to give everything to Melissa I think the other problem is that people like Melissa want to give everything to Adam Adam doesn't want to be with Melissa long term because Melissa gives him everything without requiring anything. Melissa doesn't want to be with Seth for the same. If
What is your answer then if not to eliminate religion altogether? Isn't your ultimate answer "Stop believing in any God or I will kill you motherfucker"? I don't agree with your reasoning. The basic divide is between the faithful and the unfaithful. Each religion has its own definition but so do the athiests. The necessity of conflict between them is something that you are making a supposition about. Has it happened? Sure. I
I saw all this text and my immediate thought was that you were playing NetHack Whoops...I meant to say a MUD.
It's hard when you realize that everybody is stupid. Except you. Yep. Nothing like a little debate with the "We are right because we are right" crowd. As I was saying in this Link you can't have a reasonable debate with someone
Fact is Kerry is not how you or any other Anti-Kerry person is trying to make out. How do you know? The whole election is now about who has the best marketing campaign </TD
Can you explain this in a little more detail Sure. I believe that spiritual exploration is really an explanation of oneself and their beliefs. There is no end to this exploration because there is no end to oneself. I believe we are eternal and the infinite, what we are now is not what we always will be,
Spirtually? I am not quite where I want to be at all times but I am content that it will always be so. Exploration is more important than destination What do I believe in? I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontiu
You're entitled to your opinion, FreeMark, but don't you think that's a little harsh.........So....let's see.....I guess we wouldn't have any retirement homes in your world......no intellectually disabled, perhaps, either.....Think about the details to your vision, FreeMark, is that really what you would want? <B
A lot of people think that life is pretty miserable and that it is getting worse. The world is on slippery slope to all kinds of different hells. The end of the world is nigh and good riddance anyway. I think life is pretty good. I think it is getting better every day. I think today we are at the height of human civilization, tomorrow we will be one ste
thanks for defining my discussion for me You're welcome. I am going to back out of this conversation because it is increasing clear I didn't understand what your point was. Sorry for the confusion.
I have a theory I have developed over the last few years regarding CompUSA. It is probably true of any big retailor but it is especially true for CompUSA. I saw the same Instapundit article and it made me think of it again. The theory is...whenever you needs something beyond going in and yanking it off the shelf and paying for it (and sometimes even then) you have to find the one person in the store who knows what they are doing. Once you f
