You guys are doing well but no-one gets an A yet. You know what they say around here? C's get degrees
Thanks for your comments everyone. I just wonder latour999, how do you express that value in your life. I am trying to get away from worship in the traditional sense and I guess I have a hypothesis, and tht is mearly that everyone exalts somthing in their life. You've state the most valuable thing is human life. How does that pla
1) Bush Sr. 2) JFK and McKinley 3) Just one (Ike) 4) Gerald Ford, Rutherford B. Hayes (only two I can think of right now) 5) ?? 6) JFK 7) ?? 8) Jimmy Carter 9) Reagan, FDR 10) ?? 11) Taft 12) ?? 13) Teddy Roosevelt 14) ?? 15) One 16) Bush Sr., Ford, LBJ, Truman, Coolidge, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and either Tyler or Taylor (whoever came after William Henry Harrison)
Do I think the headscarf ban may have been a bit intolerant of personal religious beliefs? Yes, BUT I understand. I think the fear of losing thier culture to Islam was a valid one. If your culture is so weak that a the sight of a kid wearing a headscarf can destroy it, then it's beyond saving.
Ahhh you failed to check the facts.. there had been 23 reported attacks off the Somali coast since March, including attacks on two UN ships carrying relief supplies. Sorry, I was going by what it said in the original post, where they said the last attack on a cruise ship was in 1985
Secretary/Boss of a big company Your hard working, and like to do things the right way (Your Quote: Better to spend more time on something and get it right then rush, mess it up and have to start all over again) Boss of a big company? That don't sound like me! For some reason I can't imagine myself running Wal-Mart for more than seven seconds without pissing off the shareholders and everyone else on the board of directors. "Okay
I don't really worship anything. I don't believe in any sort of supreme being, and there isn't a lot I would value more than human life. I just try not to think about it
With all that said I have an idea. I know how we find out if its a terror attack or piracy. We take a cruise liner. One that looks like a really easy target. Big, slow and lots of Americans reported on board. Fly the American flag, have people walking around on deck where they can be seen. Make it really hard for them to
Ah, the poster child of the lunatic fringe left helping provide examples of why the left keeps losing elections. Way to go! What exactly do you mean by "the left"? I mean, if you are referring to the US Democratic Party, first I don't even live in the US and second, they are a sorry ass excuse for a l
perhaps the only truly successful cia operation to that time I don't know about that, the CIA was pretty successful in subverting democracy in Guatemala, Chile, etc.
Okay, then what about childless marriages? Should these couples be punished because they're don't have or aren't planning to have children? Or people who have a medical condition and can't have children
you can't make the point that the government doesn't have the right to set specific criterea for adoption Unless you can argue that the current laws are unconstitutional. For example, what if the specific criteria was that only people of a certain religion or color can adopt? That would then be uncons
When we do these fights over body counts, we also have to account for the Iraqi casualties, which could be as high as 100,000. To me, they seem to be the real "Casualties that don't matter." Tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians die, and they are ignored while the lives two thousand American soldiers are deemed more important (at least by MSM).
Remember its all about democracy.... Yes, if by democracy you mean capitalism... ...and by capitalism you mean US hegemony and neocolonialism No wonder "they hate democracy" so much
Random chaos and our ability to think. First, we go by the rules of the road, in rder to avoid accidents. However, if there is confusion, we do what is in our best interests. Say, I am person A, I wait because it is in both my best interest and that of person B to follow the rules of the road, or work out something with hand signals so we don't hit each other. So I wave person B on, realizing that the alternative puts us both at risk of damage to o
Since, you don't believe in god, and that when you die, thats it. Then, "What do you live for?" Why do you continue life? What hope do you have? Why have you chosen that path? Is it that perhaps you do not like the idea of being "wrangled" in? That there has to be constraint in life? We live because we
But seriously, this is part of a disturbing trend. If I am not mistaken, Britain passed a similar law recently in the wake of the July 7 attacks. I hope Canada is not next, because I don't want to go through my blog again... Link That's gonna have to go... It's also kinda sad the media (from what I gather in your article), that great bastion of free speech and h
Oh, I saw the title and thought this was about me... ...and that it said sodomy
I think he should just be summmarily executed without a trial. I don't know about that, he has a lot to say for himself, a lot of information to give, and a lot of testifying to do. I am reminded of the words of Trotsky when he had the ice pick in his head. "Do not kill him! This man has a story to
The other day, I decided to finally update my blog. Maybe put in some favorites, you know, that kind of thing. So I decided to first take a look at my favorite other blogs. Well, considering with what I ended up with, perhaps that should be favorite. Only one came to mind at the time, and I'm lazy, so that's probably not going to get updated for a while. But sorr
Well, I was going to clean out my garage anyway...
One of my firends works at a tech support call center (no, I don't live in India ), and he says 90% of the call he gets go something like this: "Help! my internet won't work!" "Okay, try unplugging your modem and plugging it back in" "Wow, what did you do?"
The only one that pretended to be Capitalist was Pinochet. Hilter was Socialist, and Japan, as you point out, imperialist and a Monarchy. So to answer your question, no you cannot. Hitler was not a socialist, and imperialism, monarchy and capitalism aren't mutually exclusive (for example, England).<BR
If I had infinite money... Buy my place of work and fire my boss
