And let it be known that I do not support events like what occurred at Abu Ghraib (sic?) and others that were never sanctioned by leadership, but were carried out by rogue personnel. I also do not support the cases where those in charge abused their responsibilities, where they strayed from...
My points are two:
1) The supposed atrocities against humanity that Bush/Cheney supposedly inflicted pale in comparison to certain other Democratic presidents who have historically been thought of as heroes for their actions. Thus the hypocrisy.
2) I abhor torture in general. So do many...
Ah, now your talking. Actions authorized by FDR and Harry Truman. Both Democratic Presidents.
And don't forget the firebombing of Tokyo. Or enhanced interrogations performed on Germans.
How about we look at look at something like the Phoenix Program, which was authorized under Johnson...
I just asked a simple question, Clyde. One of which you still haven't answered.
Was it too difficult to understand? Can I ask it in a more simple manner? Crayons and markers, perhaps? Pictures?
You let me know.
You miss the point. Yes, we have (or have attempted to) negotiated with terrorists in the past. And pretty much got raw fucking deals every single time. And every single time we did so, it made it worse the next time we got threatened by terrorist demands. It doesn't matter whether it was a...
The difference is, we negotiated with terrorists.
Secondly, we got a raw deal out of the bargain. One of our guys for five of theirs?
There is a reason we don't do things this way. It creates a horrible precedent. It creates more reasons for terrorists of all kinds to believe that we will...
I didn't see anything "scientific" in that article at all. In fact, I quit reading when I came upon this little gem...
Um, no. If the progressive loons...excuse me, "scientists" want to make the claim that fracking is causing earthquakes, then it is up to them to provide the proof.
Please...
The earth itself shatters and beats the shit out of itself much more than we ever could.
We thought of that. But they won't let us burn the liberals...
Bad taste you think...? :sneaky:():)
Progressive loon supports other progressive loons' agenda's...except when progressive loons' agenda affects the progressive loon's lifestyle and job. THEN said progressive loon suddenly feel butthurt...
<----is not feeling a whole lot of sympathy for progressive loon...
Rich people, who bring jobs and make things that other people want/need, don't want to move to a country that steals 75% of their earnings?
And if said rich people leave, tax revenues go south and deficits go higher?
Who would've thought?
Right...
Which kind of conflicts with your first sentence, genius...
Which just confirms that you are no damned good at reading between the lines... :D
Pretty much so.
Granted, I love living in an area that has HOA guidelines. It keeps the area neater, safer, and property values...
Meh. Let him keep it up.
He's practicing his 1st Amendment rights. And personally, it doesn't look any more offensive than than most of the dilapidated buildings in Cincinnati (last time I was there anyway - I can't imagine the area has improved much).
Get over it. Theres no law against...
Now we get to the bottom of your love for extremist liberalism (or hatred of Conservatism): some precious flower has longstanding Daddy issues.
It all makes sense now...
It is my understanding that Darwin intended the phrase to mean ""better designed for an immediate, local environment". Adaptability to ones environment was also a factor.
Or it could just be a figure of speech that everyone here is taking way too seriously...
There are jobs for people who want them. There are better jobs for people who apply themselves. I have yet to see a situation where someone couldn't find some employment, even with a criminal record or no official residence.
In most cases, people will think that such work is below them or that...
I would regulate drugs the way we would regulate alcohol - under 21 not allowed, obviously. I am talking about consenting adults.
So you believe govt should control their life because they know best? You are not going to allow someone to do with their body as they will? Do you listen to...
Marijuana should never have been considered illegal in the first place. It is considered less harmful than alcohol and tobacco, and actually has valid medicinal purposes.
This law is nothing more than a throwback to a time when false moral equivalency ruled the land.there is very little other...
Wrong again. But I do love that people are getting their panties in a bunch over my supposed previous history here.
How about this: you have my word that I was never a previous member here. I'm pretty certain the admins here have properly investigated my IP history and have concluded that I was...
Quite honestly, there are a great many couples out there who are more than capable of taking care of children through adoption or temporary foster care, but are unable to have any of their own.
While I do not like that the govt can take away children in such a fashion, it is certainly an...
However, something like that would need to take time to slowly get traction in a society that thinks that getting something for nothing is okay. I feel that such teachings are like a cancer to a society that was born with liberty and individualism in mind.
I don't claim to know all the...
