ReBirth 0 #27 October 13, 2005 You know who I am if you thought about it. I've been around here a lot longer than you. Just took a break. And no offense intended, but I see your info in your profile and don't think that makes you any more credible than the next poster. If you'd like, I'll make up some fake information and fill it in. Somehow that would make me credible, right? I mean you wouldn't know the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #28 October 13, 2005 hardly.. no one has any credibility in the SC other than what is contained in their posts.. your response shouldnt be based on WHO the poster is, but instead on WHAT they actually posted. of course i guess its important for you to assign them to 'one camp' of the other before actually reading their posts... that way you can predetermine what you think about it...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

kallend 2,175 #36 October 14, 2005 QuoteGuess you forgot carter or clinton. I recall you admitted a year or so back that you post stuff to SC knowing it to be untrue, just for amusement. Like this one: www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=403048#403048 So I'll assume you really know Bush is actually worse than either Clinton or Carter. Maybe not as bad as Nixon....

crozby 0 #39 October 15, 2005 Back to the topic at hand... QuoteHours before a crucial referendum on a new constitution, voters in western Iraq, where many are expected to say "No", were asking themselves a troubling question: where are the polling stations? "There are no voting centres in cities like Haditha, Hit, Rawa, Qaim, Ana, Baghdadi and the villages around them," Mahmoud Salman al-Ani, a human rights activist in Ramadi said, listing locations across western Anbar province. "There aren't actually any voting centres or even voting sheets in these cities ... Nobody knows how and where to vote if they decide to," he said of the predominantly Sunni Arab region. Anbar, Iraq's largest province, runs from Baghdad to border Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia and is also the heartland of the Sunni-led insurgency. Much of the population is expected to vote against the US-backed constitution on Saturday. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=61781 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You apparently forget that the recession and super high inflation rate were the direct consequence of the 1973 Yom Kippur war and the oil embargo, which occurred during Nixon's watch. The recession continued under Ford. I also recall Watergate very well, and that was before Carter's time.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

However, the affect on our identity as a nation was far more reaching. Carter allowed his weak character as President to be a blanket of guilt around the psyche of our national mood. Watergate was a scandal. The hostage crisis was a disgrace.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
