  1. I'm sure this is going to sest of a brushfire only a few will want to read, but I thought this was too funny not to share: witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  2. Well, I dont know about famous or classic, but your sig line quote is certainly true. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  3. Well, history is written by the victors.... I'm trying to figure out exactly what he believe that led him to be burned at the stake by the inquisition. (the fact that he was tricked into arrest, rather than in a struggle, and that he recanted at least once, speak out against his potential, but are hardly decisive on their own) witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  4. Difficult question. What would you say defines a great man? And do you work towards being one each day? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  5. Is he the one who was put into a kangaroo kollege kourt by the university PC gestapo for shouting "water buffalo" at a rowdy crowd? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  6. I wouldn't say they weren't realists. (it's hard to figure out how things work in the real world if you're dreaming about somewhere else) Your lists includes men responsible for discovering or inventing many things that our society wouldn't be here without. They were great scientists, but does that make them great men? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  7. Thomas Jefferson was a scholar and a politician, but a great man, that's been debated. He was important and influential though, no one can deny that. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  8. OK, maybe I was a little quick to call it. Everyone deserves a wanring and en explanation once, right? OK, jupija, there have been many threads on BFC, and there are several still on the first page about F 911. Out of respect for fellow posters, we try not to bring arguments about unrelated topics into other threads (attempts to avoid the unithread theory). Your post sounded very much like a TROLL, and that's not what you want to be. Perhaps lurking (reading without posting) would be a good idea for you in the Community Forums. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  9. Must be really ugly if anyone even thought about the cane. POS should be given the canings she threatened the kids with to take advantage of them. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  10. What fuckin planet do you live on? yet another personal attack deleted witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  11. I think you just want to see Jackson and Sharpton spontaneously combust...!!! Gee, like that's a hard call. Who doesn't want to see them spotaneously combust? Now, Powell/Rice, that should make them look like a see from Scanners and Poltergeist had an illegitemate love child. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  12. Giuliani as an opponent would be Clinton's worst nightmare. She maybe be popular with a big chunk of downstate New Yorkers, but she couldn't hold a candle to him when it comes ta da Noo Yawkuz. Giuliani has a list of accomplishments as long as....well let's just say really long. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

    and scary witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  14. I know I've explained the difference between denotative and connotative to you before. Deal with it. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  15. eh, I still have issues with that quiz. Just look at the first question. Everyone wants what's best for humanity. But who gets to decide? Do we give over all authority and decision making power to some faceless bureaucracy? If that's your answer, you are left. I know a lot of people who would check "agree" or "strongly agree" but wouldn't bow to socialism. Maybe if they threw in the phrase "should be made to serve humanity and someone else decides what that means" it would be more accurate, and fewer people would come out left. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  16. Before I download a "free" game, I am going to ask how much bullshit comes with it. Spyware and such. So how bad is this site? Anybody have a anti-virus-like software that will catch and kill adware and spyware? Or do you have to have it and then kill it? mmm...reminds me of kill it, skil it, and grill it.... left over elk jerky...yummmmm............. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  17. I'd love to, but do you know what it costs to fly a 747 Air France from the states to the UK? OK, I don't either, but it sure set me back a hell of a lot of frequent flier miles to fly business class O'Hare to Charles De Gaulle. Best meal I had in Europe was actually over Europe. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  18. Now that's what I'm talking about. Iraqis standing up for themselves. Don't get me wrong, the new Iraqi Army and police force are brave souls, and deserving of thanks by their people, but these guys have laid it all out on the line. What's the Farci version of "God speed?" witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  19. OK, Wendy you win the sucker prize (for being first to answer). You're saying more people saying something makes it right. OK. Well, how about the Dredd Scott decision? LOTS of people said that was right, and it went all the way up the judicial system to the Supreme Court, and they said it was right. Does that mean slavery is right, because a lot of people said so? Why does a consensus change things? If you know something is right, who cares if other people agree? Sounds like lazy logic to me. So like I said, if something is unjustified, does more people saying it's ok make it less so? If something justified, why do you need someone else's approval? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  20. OK, here's the scenario: Country A wants to invade Country 3 World Nations group doesn't agree. Country A has has shaky reasons. Country A thinks thats good enough. World Nations group thinks it's not enough. Country A invades. Country A's evidence appears shaky one year later. People say the invasion wasn't justified. New scenario has WN agree with A that invading 3 is ok. A invades. It appears that A's evidence is shaky one year later. Is it still unjustified, or does a resolution from WN make everything peachy keen? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  21. Gaahh. Every time I hear that word I shudder. Eco-freaks, tree-huggers, and domestic terrorists. You mean "conservationist" or "preservationist," right? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  22. Nac - Thank you, and I agree. I just wanted to be sure you didn't think of Lott as a mouthpiece. He is an honest-to-God researcher, as opposed to those who know their answer before beginning their work. ps - I envy you your time in rural Scotland. Mikkey - Inter-country statistics are very, very difficult to find and apply on an equal status. Distance and barriers make it more so. (US and Canada are much easier to compare than the US and the UK) I'd say the most universal cause of high crime is high turn over of population and low community ties. (e.g. - people constantly move into and out of inner cities, and don't give a damn about each other, so crime will flourish; where people make a home, and know their neighbors, crime does not) witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  23. Both ways? Nah, they only want it one way every time - the Republicans are wrong, then, now and always. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  24. Read the Geneva Conventions. They don't qualify as POWs, and I don't know a better word for them, so I called them wartime detainees. You have a better word for them? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  25. For the umpteenth time, the prisoners in Guantanimo are wartime detainees, not prisoners of war, and certainly not held under provisions of the penal code. How does the fifth apply? If it has any relevance to the case at all, wouldn't the "cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger" exemption apply? As to the Sixth, it is prefaced with "In all criminal prosecutions..." These are not criminal prosecutions, so whoops, this one doesn't apply either. Consider that a free addition to your education. You do realize that the protections in the constitution apply to situations on US soil and to representatives of the US government only, right? Bottom line is that they only apply to government people here in the US, and lacking either of those things, they do not apply. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
