To recap... So either she thinks they fell or... She didn't realise that the Soviet Union had fallen. Q.E.D. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Well if you are correct then she has a grasp of history worse than a five year old; because then it seems that she also thinks that India and China also fell... Really Mike, must try harder mate (Or accept the obvious fact that the woman is clueless).

I'm fully aware of Putins ambitions, and of the fact that the USSR collapsed two decades ago, thing is I can make a clear distinction between the two events noting the similarities but realising that they are two distinct entities. By her comments its clear that the congresswoman even realises that the second event ever even occurred When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

like trying to justify comments about the rise of the Soviet Union? No, like ignoring realities and then being unable to admit when you are dead wrong. Allow me to fetch paper and pen so I can take notes from a master of the skill. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

'Stupid is as stupid does.' When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

So who is this eyewitness? Of course we don't know so we can't comment on their integrity or that of their testimony. This account sounds highly unlikely. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Seems true to an extent, and certainly part of the blind vitriol that seems to poision political debate at every level in your country. However... the high profile republicans do play up to it, don't they? What was that quote from a Bush/Gore debate way back when - "This guy can give you a bunch of fancy numbers but I can tell you what feels right." or something like that. A large portion of the campaign strategy from the republicans for the last decade or so has been targeted at this (quite condescending) stereotype of the 'common man' who works with tools, protects his family and doesn't trust libraries. Candidates like Palin don't put forward a manifesto so much as a large print comic book painted in primary colours with the broadest brush available. When you choose to present yourself so simplistically in the bloodsport arena of US politics it shouldn't be a surprise if our opponents focus on it. Well said.

Something else to give the hoodies instant gratification. See anyone can BASE jump or do Parkour and you don't have to work at it either! When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

You assume to know me. You know nothing about my attitudes towards women. I don't hate her, I don't even dislike her but her comments are laughable in their lack of basic knowledge of political affairs. The Soviet Union was based on Communism contained 15 states not 3 (or even 4) and went defunct around 20 years ago. As for this misogynistic fixation I suggest that transference might be the issue and you may gain from exploring and resolving your own gender issues.

A union of three sates does not the Soviet Union make. Its nothing to do with sexism GWB was also an idiot. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Not to mention that she thinks the Soviet Union is on the rise You're right stupid is inappropriate, shes a fricking idiot. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Its not a competition but for fairness sake its also important to note that the IDF have bombed Gazza every night for the last week, for which the most part hasn't been reported. Like I said though its not a pissing contest, I'd be very happy to see no more dead on either side. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Personally I don't care if a Republican or a Democrat wins, so long as they are intelligent, have a critical mind and a desire for stability in the world. However, it seems that the Republicans are having a stupidity contest, first Palin now this idiot and Perry. What is really worrying is that they're not just some hopefuls but are actually in Congress! Also why doe there seem to be a media blackout on Ron Paul?

OK, so then (and you may not know this answer) what if a Dr performed an abortion on a foetus a week past the legal limit for abortion (would be almost impossible to prove) would they be open to a charge of murder? When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

That wasn't THE standard, it was ONE standard. And you left out "or cases of rape or incest". In any event, induced abortion has been around, in various forms, and in various cultures, for thousands of years. The ethical and legal "standards" surrounding it have been as varied as the diversity in times and the diversity in cultures. Question: If a person goes up to a woman who is nine months pregnant with a gun they brought specifically for the purpose of shooting the said woman in the abdomen with the intent to kill the foetus, can they be prosecuted for murder if the foetus is destroyed? (Not being a smart arse I simply don't know the legal answer to that question) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

'Do what you've always done, get what you've always got'. Killings leading to more killings, more widows, more orphans. I hope a way to peace can be found soon.

By that logic we should not sentence Suicide bombers who's bombs fail to detonate. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I agree that there is a problem of sentencing but this stems from the failure of the legal system to provide a relevant charge. Since the repeal of the riot act each crime is charged as an independent act. This does not allow for the context of the crime (As Tony correctly points out) to be included on the charge sheet. Personally I would like to see the riot act re-established in a new form to allow for harsher sentencing which would not then lead to the potential problems that we now may see within the justice system. Four years for trying to organise a riot? Six months for stealing a bottle of water during a riot? Thats just and I have no problem with it within the context but would like to have seen the CPS have a separate riot act under which to place these crimes.

I think you should target the particular religious groups that are known for carrying out repeated terrorist attacks, and not lump in all other religious groups with them. How many Americans have been killed by Al Queda/Taliban/etc. in the last 10 years? How many Americans have been killed by Christian groups in that same time period? The UK Government used to think that way about Islamist extremist groups in the UK, which allowed them to flourish. That didn't turn out to be a very good idea.

What about 'should be illegal other than for serious medical reasons'. Also 'illegal after the first trimester' would be a important category as organogenisis is during this period of time. Not saying that is my view but it seems like an important category that is missing. Your poll is way to simplistic and as so often in US politics this debate is totally partisan and black and white for what is a very complex issue.
