  1. The correct term is "flaming yon." "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  2. I think it is amazing that pot our does tobacco, at least at the time of this post. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  3. So as a percentage of population how many Americans have been killed by terrorist attacks on our soil compared to those in Israel? Sharron's latest actions against Hammas have only guaranteed continuation of the problems and another Muslim martyr. As to the rest of your original post. We have created a mayor of Kabul, not a president of a country. If you really look at it there is no country, unless you appoint a king. The ethnic diversity is to great, tribalism rules. Frankly I have no objection to a kingdom, or queendom, as long as the ruled agree. Democracy cannot be imposed and not every society is ready for it. "Truth is tough.

  4. So none of the previous eight years worth of intelligence transferred from the Clinton administration to the Bush one? Sorry but the people who run the day-to-day business of government don't change over night. It all has to do with what the elected officials want to believe. As to fighting terrorism take a look at the Israeli success rate since inception of the country. "Truth is tough.

  5. I went to 13 schools in 12 years and my family was not in the military. I have the mot perfect grandson in the world! Check out the avatar. "Truth is tough.

  6. Man it's hard to beat that! well, I'm a trained violin maker, but I've made more guitars than violins. Sounds like a warm up to a good weekend to me. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  7. Sorry about the ankle but I love the toenail polish! "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  8. Well it could be just a few years. One is 19 and the other 14 but I don't want to know. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  9. One son is (we were in the military and it was free). One isn't (out and it cost). Cleanliness is the issue. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  10. Enough mail from enough voters does help. It lets them know they may not get to stay in office. The definition of enough can be pretty small on non-hot button issues too. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  11. I would like to find out where you get this from. In my line of work - managing shopping centres - I actually lobby local government to easy congestion around the sites I manage. When people conceive a mall to e difficult to get to, they will go somewhere else. You want people to get to your property as easily and quickly as they can. Generally local government understands that when my malls do better, I can afford to give them more taxes too. I remember reading in the Austin Texas paper about how the lights around the UT campus are deliberatly out of synch so we don't run over the students. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  12. Because all of society benefits if the populace is educated. Just because a person does not have children doesn't mean they don't personally benefit from a childs education. When a person gets sick a doctor cares for them that probably spent a few years in public schools. Pipes break get a plumber. Whatever you need someone has to do it and they need to be educated.

  13. Didn't mean to imply "markharju" by saying "your." BTW if liberals are libs does that make conservatives cons? "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  14. Already been done here "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  15. From dictionary.com I'll take liberal any day. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  16. But he could have done this without deserting. Go to the CO and say "I am not going back there." Refuse to serve make your statement but don't runaway. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  17. While I agree with points one and two where do you plan on deporting him too? In that particular story I did not see anything about him being a foreign national, or is that hispanic last name making you jump to conclusions? If he is a foreign national then deport away. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  18. Kind of like using bodies being carried out of the WTC in your campaign ads. Maybe we libs have simple learned to separate the message from the messanger. i.e. don't hate the troops, hate the policy. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  19. I didn't see the final tally and am to lazy to search but the last time I saw the thread about 52 - 54 percent of DZ.commers were for Kerry too. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  20. No, Karl Rove appers to be a naturally evil man, no training required. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  21. So if we put this together with the first post you think most Arabs living in America support suicide bombings? "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  22. Well as soon as Bush takes on a dangerous leader I'll let you know. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  23. Since I once was one I won't although I think I have a pretty good idea of the relative intelligence levels. This has nothing to do with intelligence it has to do with how 18 year old boys think, or more often, don't think. Yes I know there are women in the military and I would venture to say they have a better grasp of what they were getting in to than most of their male counterparts. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  24. He absolutely should go to jail. I was in the reserves during GW-I. Fortunately my unit did not get activated. Had it I would have gone even though I was opposed to that action because I made the commitment to serve my country. However as soon as it was over I reasigned and stated in my resignation letter that I was resigning because I did not agree with my governments position. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  25. To get that money for college and/or paycheck, they ALL agreed to fight for, and defend, the United States of America. The benefits aren't free, I can't imagine that any of them didn't know that. I never said they didn't agree to it or know what it meant. Just that most of them who signed up more than two years ago probably never thought it would really happen. They saw the neat commercials about "Be All You Can Be" or "An Army of One.", heard about the cash, looked at the economy and said "Sounds like a good deal to me." "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
