    Which country will deploy nuclear warfare ?

    By the way: "Upper half" starts from? Link I've given it some thought - and think that it is very much more possible for me (now that my **** have grown and left home). Wife is somewhat resistant to the idea (wants to be near ****** in the area). You guys given it much thought? cheers,

    Are there any Military guys here?

    Merchies are cool with me. Harmless little pets, really! ;) I'm not so sure about my buddies in the Navy though :tongue: You know, for someone who never served a day in uniform - you seem to know an awful lot about ******* and dying for your country. For all the moaning you do about the US and...

    Official NHL thread 2006-2007

    I think the important thing to remember is that while individual palyers records might be bad - it might also be a reflection of the team. Meaning? While XYZ might have a pathetic record with team ABC - doesn't necessarily follow that when XYZ joins team PRQ, he will play just as bad as he did...

    What is the latest good film you watched ?

    I agree. Never understood the point behind these "gore" movies supposed to be "scary". Some of them are comical with their levels of souped-up ********. Most (if not all of 'em) are pointless. Some are down right distasteful and disgusting. cheers,

    New Years Eve

    **** won't be home :******: Will toast the New Year with my darling wife. Will probably snuggle on the couch and catch up and re-connect with each other :lovecoupl Or go for a midnight stroll. I wish all those who will be out partying a SAFE New Year. Seriously, don't take stupid risks. I...

    Society's Attitude Towards Sex......

    So many people quick set to bash Christians. And yet those very same people would howl in protest were some Christians to question the way Moslems treat women or their own ********. "How dare you offend minorities, you racist prick?!", yeah? A lot of the so called "puritan" values being bashed...

    Society's Attitude Towards Sex......

    Society's attitudes towards sex (*****, music, films, porno, war and dozens of other things) will change only when people stop wanting to try and control the lives of others. So long as we have people who think they know whats best for others and are determined to "act in the best interests of...

    this capitalist state we live in.....

    Purely my opinion. Take it as you will. Could be better but could also be a lot worse. Personally, I love capitalism because at it's core - capitalism is the only system which recognises, supports, protects (and depends on) choice. As such, true capitalism is the only system which affords the...

    Pres. Gerald Ford dead at 93

    I'll say one thing about Ford: "The state of the Union is not good." Few other Presidents have ever had the guts to say that! Ford always came across as someone who wasn't terribly stuck up on himself, dig? Mild mannered personality and all that. Ford chose to go to Yale over the NFL - he...

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    My last post on this meandering topic which has drifted into realm of "discuss US foreign policy" again. With all due respect - stop avoiding the question and start answering them :) Should we junk part or all of the Bill of Rights because "the world is a different place" ? Consistency is just...

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    1. You DO know who helped Saddam come to power, yes? 2. I've asked before and I'll keep asking again - why does the 'someone' have to be US? Why do American sons and ********* have to die in places they can't pronounce with a straight face and couldn't point out on a map on a bright sunny day...

    Did you read the article I quoted? (from the article I quoted above). Sorry old sport. I ****** my idealistic youth slitting throats in the service of empire. It ****** dozens of my closest friends (including probably the guy listed as MIA in my signature) and nearly destroyed my life. I'm...

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    You're probably right - I don't love what my country has become. We might indeed be speaking of different nations. The one I love is the one I strive for. The one which produced leaders of men such as: So on and so forth. Allow me to quote the words of Dr. Ron Paul, that one virtuous soul...

    Ethnicity?

    Uhhh, no. Hindi is the official language (one among 18 others) recognised by the government of the Indian Republic. Hindu is a person who professes belief in Hinduism - often cited as one of the oldest religions and living traditions in the world. But yes - Hinduism is a religion, not an...

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    1. Saddam is a joke compared to Hitler. 2. This is exactly the sort of attitude that makes, grows and sustains empires. 3. Even playing into your "global problem" scenario - let the rest of the world take care of him. Please leave my country and her sons and ********* out of it - I'm weary of...

    Bush, last outing

    Don't get me started on Lincoln.* I don't think he was a nice nor great President. I actually rank him along the likes of FDR, Wilson and Bush. cheers, * : Might have something to do with how I reference the so called "Civil War" ;)

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    Again: I couldn't care less. It is none of my business. I wouldn't shed a tear nor throw a party were he to die tomorrow. You must understand - I see far too many people on a daily basis who I don't think deserve to walk free. From the ******* *** of a bitch who is right now in my hospital...

    Bush, last outing

    Yes, so did Jefferson. And many others at that time. But to imply that the American Revolution was FOR more government power, the enslavement of man and personal fortune is preposterous. Either that - or it's simply a "yank the chain". I can understand this argument coming from those who...

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    1. I don't care if Saddam lives or dies. A tyrant like him is not worth my spit. For that matter - there are many people alive today who don't deserve to be. 2. I'm against capital punishment. 3. I don't think it is for me to decide what sentence Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti deserves. That's up to...

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    That he is guilty or not isn't relevant IMHO. I don't approve of capital punishment but ultimately this isn't a matter for me but for the people of Iraq to decide - despite the bizzare manner of his trial and sentencing. cheers,

    Court: Execute Saddam Within 30 days

    There is a difference between personal indifference to the death of a tyrant versus discussing/imagining various gruesome ways to execute someone. This should be about justice - not vengeance. cheers,

    James Brown is dead

    I had the luck and good fortune to see him live in concert - one of my army buddies dragged me to one. I'm not a big "soul music" fan - but boy! Can Jimmy Brown put on a SHOW! 2006 has seen an awful lot of legends pass away. RIP Mr. Brown. cheers,

    Just listen to some of you! And I thought I left all the ***** thirsty types back in SE Asia! *shakes head* I'm not a fan of, nor approve of, capital punishment. I am philosophically opposed to granting the State any power that which I do not posses myself. That being said - I won't shed a...

    Real Poverty

    I find it amusing when people read and hear what I have to say and assume I'm saying that because I've "never experienced it". Somehow it never stops them from commenting on the Army or war - though they've never seen a day of it! Obviously, I say what I say because I'm old money white man...

    What should i do on my 21st Birthday?

    My 21st? I was holed up in a foxhole sweating out mortar barrages. Was not a fun nor memorable day 't all. My advice? Enjoy your day as you see fit - you only live once. Just don't do something exceedingly risky or stupid - consequences are not worth it. cheers,

    The Nation of Islam

    This quote ALONE is priceless enough to display and record your serious (if not libelous) accusations - not to mention your serious defect of the knowledge and understanding of the slave trade between the Americas and Britain and Africa.

    Really? let me just quote your own words a few paragraphs down: In other words, ********** would like to say: If you're white and racist, it's your own (your upbringings) fault. If you're black and racist, however - its the fault of everyone else, especially the "white man and his...

    The Nation of Islam

    Yes. Too "busy" to look things up but not too busy to post 4 half-page responses on a single page on a single thread. By the way - it's not "lazy". It's "intellectual sloth". (You brought it up). No, I have nothing better to do than quote your own words but pretend I am twisting them all the...

    The Nation of Islam

    Not true. Especially given the fact that the discussions have NEVER stopped. I mean, come on! You have FOUR half-page responses by someone who claims they are too busy to look things up - on this thread alone. Too busy to look things up, but not too busy to spout 4 half-pages of (unfounded -...

    Questioning the holocaust ... in Iran ...

    Speaking of Holocaust denial - David Irving has been set free in Austria. And true to his nature, he has already started shooting his mouth off! Personally, one of my "favourite" authors on utilitarianism is Jeremy Bentham's protege - John Stuart Mill. I don't agree with Utilitarianism - but...
