Yeah, but the problem, Mr. G is that these guys never heard the walk softly part. They just grabbed the big stick and started swingin'.

Actually, yes, education in the United States IS failing. every politician that comes to office SAYS that education is a priority for them, but as soon as they need money for something else, they divert funds from education budgets. George Bush even diverted funds and said he was going to...

I didn't know that. And I don't understand it either. It would mean infinitely more to me personally to swear on the Constitution than on the bible. In fact, in my opinion, it's rediculous to swear to tell the TRUTH on something that full of LIES. Although, simply swearing to tell the...

I'm right there with you, tastybrain. These guys were never looking for a diplomatic solution in Iraq. If it weren't so damned shameful I'd laugh everytime Bush says it's up to Saddaam whether or not we invade his country. What a rediculous statement. War sure as hell isn't HIS idea, it's...

Me too. I'm still happy that the Berlin Wall went down. However, there's this new found part of me that wishes the Soviet Union was still there. Having another super power in the world seems to have kept the USA in check. Now I'm starting to view my own country as the "rogue state", and I...

Thankyou, spookz. It's that belief Joeman that will INVITE Big Brother right into our lives. And I don't think ANY of us wants that. Except, of course, George W., Dick Cheney, John Ashcroft and Donald Rumsfeld. Hell, they siezed on the opportunities provided by 9/11 so fast it made my head...

I definitely don't see why we need to consider who the next pope will be. Unless we're catholic, which I'm not. I never gave a flyin' rat's ass about this pope and I seriously doubt I will about the next one. And, exactly HOW do the Europeans own the United States? That must good stuff...

Well, she wouldn't want the job, but my mommy is certainly a much more honorable person than the f--ks that are running the USA right now. So you bet your ass I'd prefer it.

Actually this is probably a correct statement. It's not so much that circutry is fragile, though, even though that IS true. But the real kicker is that plutonium is extremely radioactive all by itself. Just sitting there in a missile (or anywhere else for that matter) it works rapidly to...

I suppose it's possible in the very distant future, but I have diffuculty imagining anyone in a position of power being willing to just relinquish it for the good of the people.

[/b] Uh, this IS the religion forum. [/b] He didn't say EVERY war. He said "thousands" of wars. And in THAT he's probably correct. In fact, it's probably been more common for the religious to say, "Hey, this is right" based on their religion than for them to say "Hey, is this...

NO ONE, is willing to try to answer this question? I'm truly dissappointed in all you religous people. What's up? Am I beyond saving or something? no tony1? no loon? nobody? You're confirming my disbelief in "Jesus as savior" more loudly than if the Pope had said HE doesn't...

I don't know that I believe it will REALLY help. But maybe the Isrealis should try honoring the agreements they've signed, and stay off of the land they WILLINGLY granted the Palestinians a LONG time ago. Of course, I don't believe that anything short of giving up their religions will...

Very good, MacZ. I was starting to think I was the only one that noticed what happened in Pakistan. And it truly is "American Style". Your whole post reeks of a long standing American policy. Practiced on many, many occasions. The only real difference, is that NOW we have truly...

I think you're more correct than you realize. Marx created the idea of communism, and his idea was NOTHING like the reality of China or the Soviet Union or any other county that has ever been called "communist". Communism has ALWAYS just remained in name. It's just been called communist...

And this has what relevence to the original post? Forgive me if I'm a little slow. I've been drinking AND playing chess.

I've got it now CounselerCoffee, I was just pointing out the source of my confusion. I've been doing a lot of skimming while riding my soapbox today. please forgive me.

Yep. It's not supposed to be. But George W. Bush has changed all that. Although, "religious" is too broad a term. Fundamentalist Christian would be more correct. Check out some of the histories of George Bush and his cabinet. These guys are in as much of a "holy war" as Osama bin Laden...

Not anymore. John Ashcroft (fascist, religious fanatic and all-around not-good guy) is now our highest chief of police. Make no mistake: George W. Bush and the people he has appointed to his administration are on a religious crusade. And it's got nothing to do with the Constitution of the...

[/b] still looks racist to me. [/b] I'm sure you can understand my confusion.
