Being a pretty liberal guy myself, Gideon, Moderateman, and the other right wingers have an incredibly good point. Anyone can say we have to be above this, above killing. The truth of the matter is that we're killing to prevent more killing. This is beyond an eye for an eye. I'm against the Iraq war as much as the next Democrat,
You don't win people to your side through ad nauseam name calling, greggbert. I suggest you take a look at some other leftist bloggers (myrrander and kingbee would be good examples) to see how to rea
So once again this boils down to this is *your* opinion. You should say as much When we are talking about events that supposedly happened thousands of years ago and involve burning bushes, plagues, and food falling down from the sky, it pretty much stands to reason that everyone's view is an opinion, un
Dang, You walk away for a few days and the crazys sure come out of the woodwork: First Gideon. Gideon, you are an intellectual coward. When you posted a message "Is there an objective main stream news source" about how the liberal media calls terrorists "freedom fighters," a blatant lie, I challenged you to post the name of one single prominent american liberal journalist who has called al-queda "Freedom Fighters". Your respon
Not a loophole, it's called a CORRECT TRANSLATION of the original language. That is such a load of bunk. Yes, it's true that certain religious leaders in the Christian and Jewish communities have been pushing this INTERPRETATION of the 10 commandments for h
The correct translation is, "Thou Shalt Not Commit Murder". Killing to defend oneself, or one's country is not murder. Yeah. Nice Loophole. First off it is unprobable and untrue that every person that was killed in the bombing before the war was in the act of attacking the united states. Ev
If I were the president and some idiot reporter asked me that, I'd just look it in the eye and say, "well, I don't know, what is your feelings on "bearing false witness". Actually Bush also is pretty good at the bearing false witness thing also. WMD anyone?
You side-stepped the issue. Let me fix that for you. FORGET the rape part. Someone kills your child/ your mother/your brother/ your father/ your wife. NOW what are you going to do about it? I'd do pretty much what everyone else has done who's had this happen to them: Call the police, Call my family, th
So basically what moderatorman and drmiller are saying is that the 6th commandment is BS. Well you certainly did surprise me... Did you hear that in church or did God tell you? It's amazing that sometimes when republicans are presented with the hypocracy of their views, for some reason they always want someone to rape a liberal's wife and children. " IF Your Wife were raped, and killed, you'd agree with my crazy barbaric ideas!"
The 2 are mutually exclusive. Are you saying that there was no killing in the iraq war or that the 10 commandments don't apply to religious republicans as long as they hate gays enough?
I was reading through the white house press conference transcript yesterday, and I found an extremely telling example of how seriously this administration takes religion and morality: Quoted From: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/02/20050201-7.html REPORTER: Scott, last night, in an amicus brief filed before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Justice Department came down in favor of displaying the Ten Commandments in courthouses
I have to agree with msladydeath. Some of these prisoners have it better in jail than they did on the street. I would welcome more people like Joe Arapaio to be in charge of our prisons. I mean come on what use does cable tv have in rehabilitation or deterence? Holy crap don't you know anyone who has ev
Americans are so uninformed on this issue that it totally depends on the wording of the question. If you look at the poll commissioned by the AARP it shows that americans think bush's plan stinks once they hear some of the proposed details. The reality is that bush's plan deducts 2 trillion dollars out of the social security system immediately and adds it to the national debt. That money is then handed it to wall street. In the meantime a
If people didn't break the terms set before them by their employer, if people didn't try to be sneaky, lie, and do all kinds of things they shouldn't (like coming to work on crack, meth, etc,.) , an employer would not have to poke in your blood and urine. Amazing. We now think that companies HAVE to po
Are you guys trying to argue that pro-life republicans DO or DON'T support birth control? Because there are lots of examples of those idiots. (and by idiots I mean only the ones that hate abortion AND birth control.) Damn that's weird about the Surgeon general's web site. Anyway, you can check that consumer reports. There is a little callout article about the president's anti-condom actions in the condom rating issue that came out Janua
I guess my opinion, I am mostly alarmed by the fact that everyone in this supposedly "freedom loving" and "privacy supporting" country doesn't seem to have a probelm with the fact that employers believe they have a right to poke around in your blood and urine if you work for them. Maybe lazy employers who think they have a right to know everything personal about you should be forced to keep their dirty noses out of your body fluids. Most employers ca
Can't figure it out.
Ah yes. Here is that wonderful old republican junk argument: If you're against this war, then that must mean you're against all wars. The lunkhead Republicans love to use this one as well as the ever famous: If you think this war was a stupid idea, then you love terrorists and saddam. I like the way the original poster spun this one, it is even more clever: If you are against this
Why is Hillary Clinton upset with the rise of abortions? I thought abortions weren't wrong. If anything, she should be happy that people are having abortions so the teen pregnancy rate won't rise. Actually, she has never said they weren't wrong. She said that the government should not dictate whether o
There's that silly argument that other people thought saddam had weapons so it's not bush's fault that he invaded. Hmm. I think that my neighbor down the street is gay. Pretty much everyone else in our neightborhood does also. Some of my neighbors have even said he's gay. But if I mortgaged my house and risked it all on a bet that he was gay, and then was wrong..... Well then I'd be the idiot, not my neighbors.... Rep

Hi. I just bought a used corporate machine on e-bay. The seller says that no cd-key is required (or he lost it.) Is this true, do you need a CD key to install this game? I don't want to look like an idiot if I demand a CD key and none exists.
