Oh, and RC, I forgot to thank you for #48. Thank you! No problem. I remembered your article from sometime back, about 3 months ago, detailing many of the difficulties you've grown up with. You had as much "reason" (which is none) as anyone to expect entitlements, and sympathy, and you chose neither.
Muggaz, Because the point is true for everyone. Your words, not mine. What I said, I said to KarmaGirl, and it was contextual. I didn't say it as a truism because it isn't. VES
But people who sit on their butts complaining and doing nothing about it are just less competition for me. That has to be about the most insightful comment in this whole thread. VES
Thanks for saying that RC Not sure why you are thanking me for saying that to Kharmagirl, but whatever. VES
KharmaGirl, KarmaGirl, quit the shameless self promotion, the flagrant and prejudicial producerist pride. You think you're special because you work hard. You're not. You're no more worthy than anyone else, While you may not share the following beliefs (meaning only that I won't make that presum
Mr. Cooley, Sex is not by nature immoral or evil. VES
yikes youll find this here: http://locamama.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=16952 (about third from the last entry) Either your remark is intended to be funny, or wildly out of context. I'm not sure which. I posted links earlier in this thread
Bill Cosby STILL summed it up best. VES
I apologize for being rude on my response I wasn't offended. No problem. VES
Odds are that somebody in the WTC was handicapped, but were they in a wheelchair? That's the real question! Actually, the Al-Queda members involved made sure that all of the flights involved were handicap-free, as well as both towers, and all the surrounding streets and buildings before they went forwar
How about guns in the hands of minors, that's a pretty major impediment to african american progress I think if you have any kids, black or white, running around with guns, there was generally a break down in their family in the vast majority of instances. You can't refer to a side effect or result of
The American family seems to be disinigrating among all peoples in these end times. Marvin, while we may share some degree of agreement in the viewpoint expressed by Bill Cosby, do not equate that to me buying into any religious dogma. I see no "end times"
more accurate than marvin? puh-leeeze No, more accurate than the original poster. I made no reference or comparison to marvin's post. VES
Personally, I think Bill Cosby has a more accurate assessment of the state of affairs for black Americans. http://www.oregonlive.com/commentary/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/editorial/10854867683540.xml http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040522/nysa014_1.html Also, here are a lot of comments from folks who frequent the BET web site.

the only instance in which they unanimously voted to do the exact opposite occured on 12/12/2000 when deciding whether to overturn a florida state supreme court ruling to conduct a ballot recount that would have given florida's electoral votes to the winner of the states popular vote majority.

There views are outside the dimensions of mainstream ideology, the very thing she disparaged (divisivness of the republican party.) was, and is the impression that most Americans have of the democratic party today. Few areas of this country agree with the radical views of a Janeane Garofolo The questio
Did Nelson Mandela use terror tactics to intimidate or coerce a society or government? That's all you need ask yourself to see if he fits the definition of a terrorist. Was Nelson Mandela engaging in armed rebellion or resistance against an oppressive government? That's all you need ask yourself to see if he was a freedom fighter. If the answer to both questions is yes, then he was a freedom fighter who was also a terrorist. Whethe
Shadesofgrey, But, with that definition of terrorist, Mandela would still be considered one. How do you account for that? Why does that need my accounting? If he fits the definition, he fits the definition. Whether he fits it or not doesn't need my justification. I think your concern is actu

Contextual basis or not... it doesn't matter... Yes, reality doesn't matter. I understand now. VES
With regard to the retired soldiers attack on Pakistan (the original scenario of the post) would the US would then be held partially culpable, It's really immaterial as to whether they would be held culpable. Who would it be that would hold them culpable?
just in our own hemisphere or do you want to expand that question further? which period of time? The question stands as is. Name the "rogue crime syndicate", the date (or time period), and the country attacked by "our" terrorists. Now preferably, (since I didn't mention it before you can choose to ing
The question was not "how many times have people used nukes in terrorist activities?" It's nice to pose hypothetical situations, but if they have no basis in reality, they are useless. They have no context. So your answer is no rogue crime syndicates from of US origin have ever committed a terrorist act on another nation. This is quite a bit different from the number of times other nat
Historically speaking, how many "rogue criminal syndicates" of US origin have committed terrorist acts in other countries? VES
would the US would then be held partially culpable, if Pakistan asks the US to hand over those responsible, (as we did in Afghanistan), should we do so? Can you please clarify the first part of what you are asking here? I tried to make it out, but I'm not going answer based on that much assumption.
