    Bush and Nukes?

    I'm in Rochester, come get me-if you can stand the toxic Kodak fumes, that is.

    Bush and Nukes?

    OK, hell has frozen over, I got money on Buffalo. Seriously, what exactly do you agree on?

    Bush and Nukes?

    Somehow I do not see the widening of the gap between the upper 1% and the rest of the nation to be "prosperity." I don't think that NAFTA ad FTAA are good things for my country. While they generate massive wealth for the main stockholders of US corporations, they have cost thousands of...

    Bush and Nukes?

    I'd call him conniving. He backstabbed the unions and environmentalist who put him into office. Twice. And, he was able to spin things so he's still called a "liberal." Yeah, thanks Bill, no wonder your party is in the crapper.

    Best and Worst WC ripoffs

    Aside from what I refer to as teh "Dralthi factor*," none of the games are a complete ripoff. All, to one degree or another follow the basic plot of-humanity is well meaning even though we may be fighting with someone, and some unquestionably bad guys come along and try to wipe us out. Fly a...

    What would you do?

    Claw: Melt down a Scimitar into commemorative paperwieghts. Connie: Try to convince people that there needs to be a garage door over the flight deck. Victory: Flint's quarters and Rachel's quarters on alternating nights. Lexington: Beat up the radio officer. Intrepid: Sosa's quarters...

    Gulf of Tonkin: http://www.fair.org/media-beat/940727.html http://www.cs.uu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/vietnam/tonkin-gulf.html As for the Maine, yeah, we were about to go to war with them. They had stuff, we wanted it, so we took it. We were a little late to the imperialism game, but we made up...

    There are historical precidents. "Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain," and the Gulf Of Tonkin Resoution topping the list.

    Terrorist... or not...?

    "It might. But how are we to know that such a strong action will not make terrorists decide against committing terrorist acts?" Well fifty years of reprisals against terrorists in Israel and the occupied territories have only led to the current Intifada. Also, I don't think we can call a...

    So much for atheism. :rolleyes: We're talking nukes here. Some caution is a good thing.

    Real Life Mandarins

    I haven't heard of that particular group. Under the circumstances they may have been better off with a generic "Peace on Earth" float. It's seasonal after all. Not having seen the float, I'm not sure what to think, without background it's hard for me to determine whether or not you may be...

    Real Life Mandarins

    Ultra right wing ppl are not anti-war, they are very pro-war. It goes like this: Left-wing- Liberals, Green party, anti-globablization movement, anti-war. (and me) Extreme left- Anarchists (Black Block and others), Communism (Not an altogether bad thing, just unworkable IMHO) Center-...

    Terrorist... or not...?

    You're right Ghost, a homeless person in this country is not likely to become a terrorist. But someone in another country who has lived in poverty all their lives, but managed to build a good life for himself only to have his house blown to smithereens with his family inside while he was out...

    Real Life Mandarins

    I saw that letter a few months ago, Phillip. It raises a lot of valid points, and is fairly moderate. Good for discussion. Unfortunatly, I'm dead tired, I should have more on the morrow.

    Terrorist... or not...?

    "WAR IS COMING. DO YOUR PART. JOIN OR SHOOT YOURSELF." Oh, I am doing my part. It just happens to be opposed to what you believe, so in the fine tradition of "patriots" such as yourself-either learn to live with dissent-or move to Iraq. They don't like people to speak their minds there...
