Let me spoon feed it to you...your memory only goes back to right around 2002. Lots was happening prior to that which you and your ilk conveniently ignore... June 23-28, 1991 - Iraqis fire warning shots at inspectors to prevent them from intercepting vehicles suspected of carrying nuclear equipment. August 2, 1991 - Iraq admits to biological weapons research for "defensive purposes" only. March 19, 1992 - Iraq declares that it once possessed 89 missiles and chemical weapons, but destroyed them in the summer of 1991. This unilateral destruction of weapons is a violation of SCR 687. July 1992 - UNSCOM destroys some Iraqi chemical weapons and production facilities. July 5, 1993 - UNSCOM leaves Iraq. July 1, 1995 - Iraq admits the existence of its biological weapons program. December 16, 1995 - UNSCOM has the Tigris River near Baghdad searched. They uncover over 200 missile parts, believed to have originated in Russia. It goes on and on. We played cat and mouse games with these fucks for more than a decade when your beloved Mr. Clinton was in charge. In 2002 you might have been willing to bet that Iraq had no WMDs. Me and most of the members of congress weren't. You want to revise history go ahead. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Show me the proof you have. You really are out of touch. I see you have nothing. Thanks. There was nothing. No WMDs. Bush and Powell both finally admitted it. The justification for the invasion was a bare faced lie. They admitted none were found John. We know he had them. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I don't think that's fair. It's his life, what he chooses to do with it is his business as long as he doesn't affect the health, liberty or property of someone else in the process. Frankly, I think insulting someone who did something like this only encourages it more, because it's a de facto admission that his life was only worth living to make other people happy. Why the hell would anyone want that? You think it makes people want to do it more than romanticizing his life and making him into some sort of hero? Three children and a wife might have something different to say. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I'm starting to get tired of the way the media romanticizes these folks after they are gone. Robin Williams was great...and an asshole. It's a chickenshit thing to do to your family and friends. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Hope is a lousy foreign policy John. Once again you guys are hiding behind W. While Barry was quick to take credit for an end date on the war he isn't so quick to do that with his airstrikes and gifts of arms. (Obama on Iraq Campaign: 'This Is Going to Take Some Time') What you have here is a POTUS who is attempting to run out the clock on this and a bunch of other stuff he's fucked up in the hopes that it will all just magically go away. He's bent on giving Carter a run for his money and succeeding. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Since the changes any party makes to improve an economy happen more like a glacier than a landslide I'd say dems inherited the good work of republicans; present administration excepted. You know, I don't put it past a party intentionally disturbing the economy to win back control. Don't forget it was W who was waving the red flag and Barney Frank who told us things were fine.

So you don't believe Hamas is a terrorist organization? I'll submit that all of you who don't believe Hamas is a threat in the ME are as Goat-Fuck-Stupid as Carter. Of course they are.. but as has been stated one groups terrorists are another groups freedom fighters. Many of the founding fathers of Israel were seen as terrorists for their actions against the British as were many of our founding fathers seen the same way by the British of the late 18th century. The people of Gaza elected them.... and seem to support them for now. What Carter is doing is encouraging a dialogue with the elected government.. that is not GOAT FUCK STUPID my dear..that is what is known as statesmanship and that is trying to get people to sit down and deal with reality. I do wish some people could parse reality a bit better but as we see by this thread it is beyond the capability of their limited abilities. Isn't that something your beloved Barack should be doing? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Isn't that exactly what you did with this thread? So you think Jimmy Carter is an "idiot". Well, lets make a quick comparison. Carter: Graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis Qualified as submarine commander Lead cleanup of nuclear reactor accident at Chalk River, Ontario After leaving the navy, built a very successful farming business Twice elected to Georgia Senate Elected Governor of Georgia Elected President of the US since leaving the presidency: Worked extensively with Habitat for Humanity Founded and directs the Carter Center, which is highly active in combating several tropical diseases including malaria, trachoma, river blindness, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), Guinea worm, and schistosomiasis. Several of these diseases (especially river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, and Guinea worm) are expected to be completely eradicated by 2020 due in very large part to the efforts of the Carter Foundation. The Foundation also actively and vigorously promotes democracy and human rights around the world. Carter himself is very much involved on a day to day basis with the activities of the Center. Was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for the work of the Center, and for his work negotiating alternatives to war in several conflicts around the world. (Unlike Obama, who got the Nobel for not being Bush, Carter has done an unbelievable amount of work since leaving office to fight disease, promote human rights, promote democracy, and negotiate alternatives to war). Now people may take issue with Carter's effectiveness as President, though it's not clear to me just how he was responsible for OPEC's oil embargo, or the Iranian hostage crisis, or the fact that the rescue failed because US military helicopter pilots were unable to avoid flying into one another. We should also keep in mind that he deregulated the beer industry and made it legal to sell malt, hopps, and yeast to home brewers for the first time since Prohibition; I think that offsets at least some of the bad stuff that happened during his time in office. airdvr: accomplishments??? Since you assert all that Carter has done was accomplished by an "idiot", I'm sure you will be able to provide us with an even more impressive list of accomplishments that establish your intellectual superiority. I'm sure you have something to show, besides promoting a travel agency, to establish your credentials to proclaim Carter an "idiot". Personally, I would have thought a discussion of the merits or lack thereof of talking to Hamas would have been more interesting than denigrating Carter's intelligence. However, you (airdvr) chose the topic for the thread. I hope you can defend it without showing yourself to be even more of an "idiot" than the messenger you chose to attack, rather than attack the message. Don Sorry...I am permitted to label anyone I choose as an idiot. I understand as a flaming liberal it makes your ass ache that anyone would call Jimmy an idiot. When you are POTUS you are responsible for it all; good, bad, indifferent. Most of the people who post here were sucking thumbs, filling diapers, or were just a nasty thought in daddy's mind during the Carter administration so all you really have is coming from Wiki or your university education. Therefore I won't debate Carter's presidency or his merits as a person. When he says shit like Hamas should be recognized he is a fucking idiot. Wow...who would have thought demonizing Carter would evoke almost as much spittle laced diatribes as attacking the religion of AGW. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

You are correct sir. That errant 'd' proves I'm as much of an idiot as the person I'm complaining about. I guess it is true...if you can't attack the message attack the messenger. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

It's fantasyland. The company can't be profitable without tax credits and green credits. So what we get instead is an overpriced subsidized toy for the few overprivileged douchebags who can afford them. And, as rocket pointed out, it solves nothing. There was an article a while back that said if everyone drove an electric car it would reduce emissions enough to matter. In reality we should be subsidizing nuke plant construction but alas, the same left leaning tree huggers who love the Tesla today put a stop to that back in the 70's. Please don't dent the planet.

a. It's dangerous Check b. I should be spending time with her and the kids Check c. It's expensive Check d. I'm going to end up jumping every weekend Check e. She doesn't agree with me doing it (see a b c and d). Double check This is one of those sports that can become an all or nothing deal. Know that being at the DZ for a non-jumper sucks. And if you can't be at the DZ 24/7 its gonna suck for you too. You'll never get asked on the cool loads, you'll never be really current, and you'll end up with a lot of resentment as your wife has for you now. Just ask my first and second wives. You don't say how old the kids are but I'm betting they are young. My advice is to file for divorce now. Then, you'll have the kids every Wednesday night and you can go to Chucky Cheese's and hang out with all the other divorced dads but the good news is you'll only have the kids every other weekend.

Over the years I've considered this scenario. I've reached the conclusion that when a commercial aircraft that I am currently a passenger on has a catastrophic failure that would be survivable only by exiting I'm gonna be real PO'd that I don't have my rig. This all started years ago when I read about the Soviet shootdown of the KAL flight 007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Lines_Flight_007#Missile_damage_to_plane I thought I read somewhere that the elapsed time from missile impact to crash was ~12 minutes. That's a hella long time. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

The point you're all missing here; time to make the thought of the death penalty more real for the perp. One of the reasons I don't favor the death penalty is it has lost (not sure it ever had) the deterrent factor it purports to possess. That and the fact that the governments of these states haven't displayed anywhere near the competence we are entrusting them with. Just put them in jail for life with no possibility for parole and be done with it. For most that would be a fate worse than death. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
