Really? From http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/transcripts/2003/mar/030317.banse.html Doesn't matter. She should have known the thing was going to kill her, it's not as if she didn't have warning it wasn't going to stop. "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

It's a bulldozer and it's probably got a top speed of what, 8MPH? I think she probably saw it coming. I also think that she probably had plenty of warning that it wasn't going to stop. To defend her.... Jesus. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Does your example apply to this situation? Are you suggesting that Rachel Corrie was ordered to stand in front of the bulldozer? Are you suggesting that Rachel Corrie had a sworn oath to carry out such an order? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

If the firefighter ran into the building for the purpose of saving the building, yes. If he ran into the building to save another human being, no. Tell me Bill, was the bulldozer about to run over a family of Palistinians? I'll bet if it was that they were smart enough to move. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

Good for her, she died for what she believed in, but was it necessary? For the love of God she stood in front of a machine she knew would kill her! She could have moved but chose not too. Why exactly are we supposed to feel sorry for her? She essentially took her own life; a lot of good she'll do for the movement now. I have no sympathy for this woman; she stood in front of a bull dozer and didn't get out of the way. She's an idiot, correction, she _was_ an idiot. It's not as though she died rescuing kittens from a burning building. Why are we supposed to respect her? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

this is an obvious personal attack. Uh, it is? It was? How? If you think that's a personal attack I'd hate to see how you react when someone flat out calls you a jackass, or something. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Yo. Check it: Google knows the truth or try here if you think the first was an isolated thread. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

You forgot the French! - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Like you've never done that? Why back in my day... - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! That's not a Turducken! This is a Turducken! - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I know what it is, I want one. I want to make one. From scratch. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Turkey, chicken, duck, it's all the same to me. That reminds me, anyone ever have a Turducken? Better yet, anyone ever COOK a Turducken? It's on my list of things to do before I die. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

No cigar? What kind of operation is this? I call foul! - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

You know you've got jumping on the brain when you read this: and think, "What the hell does her pilot chute have to do with this?" I think I need a nap. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Well, at least you two have something in common. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Mmm... Beer. They just showed some guy dumping a 5 gallon bucket of hops into the brew. I *heart* hops. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Sure sounds like it, doesn't it? It might make you feel better to think this, but unless the experienced jumpers were pounding in too I don't think it made much of a difference. Get a bigger canopy _and_ get some serious canopy training. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I went back through this thread, I didn't see a single post where you offered up an alternative solution, besides the one where you suggested something about a 35 cent bullet. That was 12 years ago, this is now. What's your point? I think what's happened is we now realize that we aren't immune to international terrorism. We know that Saddam has WMD, specifically chemical and biological. These particular WMD pose a significant threat as they do not require a sophisticated delivery system, especially not for a terrorist attack. We feel strongly that if Saddam is left in control of these chemical and biological weapons that he will use them to attack us or our allies. It is our duty to protect both US citizens on US soil as well as our allies. I don't think that this is in retaliation to September 11, 2001, but rather an attempt to make sure that something similar doesn't happen in the near future. Diplomacy didn't do the job 12 years ago and it's not working now. And who's going to pay for that? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
