I think they (and yes, I do believe there is a "they") don't bother to communicate with us or pay us much attention for the same reasons that we don't meaningfully try to communicate with the other primates on our OWN world: They just don't think we have anything to offer them and it is much more fun to observe us in a zoo-like setting going about our day to day business. Just my take on it. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I don't mean to step into the middle of this, but I think this subject would be an interesting thread on its own... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Yeah, I belive that's right, a radioactive spider... wait a second here, are all of you saying that movies aren't real... man that sucks... I was going to move to New York and try and get my picture taken with Spidey... S Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiæ. -Seneca (There can be no genius without a tincture of madness.) No kidding. I was going to try to adopt "Frank The Dog" from Men In Black. Talk about a chick magnet, he would be even better than my old chocolate lab. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Now Moore has gone on record against Disney for releasing a (HIS WORDS) "patriotic" movie after refusing to release his; saying they are (HIS WORDS AGAIN) "right wing kooks". God&%$#@% America-loving kooks. How dare they release a patriotic movie with a hopeful message. Whether this guy is on point with his material I can't say, but in my "one vote/one ticket sale" opinion, he is a self-aggrandizing jackass. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

OK, based on the PREMISE (and that's all it is) that WMD's, terrorist connections, etc. were NOT really the reason the Bush Administration wanted to go to war in Iraq, what do you think WAS? What is the hidden agenda? Or was it just hubris? Again, just a premise, save the "stated justification was/was not adequate" for other threads.... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

No, in my "one vote" opinion, it was not. We could debate why that is so for page after page, but for me it comes down to a few simple points: America is NOT safer, the only thing the war has done as far as Al Quaeda is concerned is galvanize the Muslim world to their cause. It has been their best recruiting tool in years. Not to mention that Iraq will be another Afghanistan once we pull out. Though I think EVERYONE can agree that Saddam and his two sons were bad men, there was no real reason from the standpoint of a threat to US security to remove them. The HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars spent on the war should have spent on securing our homeland FIRST (and for those of you who think it already secure, I will not even dignify it with a response; I can see the port of Long Beach out my window and could probably tell you a dozen ways to get multiple containers into this country), then we could have the luxury of going after Saddam, et al. We have stretched the resources of our military to the point where it cannot effectively do it's job without drawing on additional resources (by the way, I support a draft if one is required to keep my country safe). As a side note to the above, I think that we have also given our "unstoppable" military a black eye on the world stage; if you think it is lost on planners in North Korea, China, and Iran that we are having difficulty occupying a small backwards country without an effective military of it's own, you have another thing coming. Our unilateralist attitude has hurt our diplomatic negotiation position. Having given the world a look at our "f%$# 'em" attitude, I do not think we are any longer in the place to negotiate as effectively as we once were. And finally, American soldiers, who put their lives in harm's way to defend our way of life, have DIED in the desert for a cause that has only made our situation worse. Again, just my "one vote" take on it. Edited for spelling. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

What about Senator Graham from Florida? Thoughts? "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Funny, I'm glad you're here to be pissed off... Seriously, glad it went OK and you're safe. Way to keep your head. Thanks for sharing your experience. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

[reply the next terrorist attack will not come from a commercial airliner - it will come from a shipping container or a King Air filled with ANFO. All the air marshalls in the world, and all the TSA employees we can hire, won't stop either of those. My money is on the container, too. Think about it: 1 out of every 50 or so is even CURSORILY inspected. It will cripple commerce on one side of the Mississippi (Baltimore in the East, San Pedro/LB in the West). There will be a limited (though not low) number of "non-target related" casualties, so the event will seem more tactical and less horrific on the world stage. Or, maybe an LNG tanker. The studies they have done for Long Beach for the proposed terminal have shown that the explosion of a large LNG tanker would level the port and send a 100' wall of flame for 2-3 miles in every direction. But hey, we are protected from another airliner strike and those 12 "Iraqi Gas Shells Of Death"... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I disagree completely; I think she is a very polarizing individual even within the party. As a matter of fact, you will find that people within the Bush campaign are secretly hoping she DOES end up on the ticket. Yes, that is inside information, not an opinion. And I am sorry, "standing by your man" as he is called out by Congress for getting a blowjob from a flippin' intern in the Oval Office and blaming it on some "right wing conspiracy" does not show that you are "strong". As a liberal/democrat, I have not and will never forgive Bill Clinton for the damage he did to the Democratic agenda and legacy through his sloppy impulse control.

Ouch. I used to work for a rather conservative architecture firm, and one time they sent out an office wide e-mail asking "Describe your best achievement at *******". Having dated a girl in marketing on and off for some time; I wrote "Has to be banging in Marketing" (Yes, I was being crass on purpose) with the intention of forwarding it it her as a joke. Too bad I had hit "Reply All" by mistake. And no, I am not kidding. Thankfully they (almost) all had a sense of humor. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I'm pretty liberal. I know lots and lots of liberals. I don't know a single one who thinks this way. Whoever you're hanging out with, they're not liberals. Wendy W. They're the pot heads playing hacky sack all day. I thought those were skydivers.... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

And by being buried in someone's backyard they were in the RIGHT hands? And what does my screen name have to do with anything? Did I miss something? "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Of course it does... ONE would scare me in the wrong hands. The point of my post was that things like "gas shells" are pretty common, and even though "technically" fit the definition of WMD's, hardly constitute a threat or justification . I think you would find that almost every single military in the world possesses in their arsenal something along the same lines; friend or foe. "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

WOW!!! Ten to twelve whole artillery shells. With mustard gas and sarin. I used to live in Washington D.C. near American University, and they found more than that from an old WWII munitions dump when someone was digging up their backyard to put in a swimming pool. If this "threat" constitutes a clear and present danger to the United States, to the point of justifying an invasion halfway around the world, then this country is in serious trouble. We better get going on that "Strategic Artillery Shell Shield". "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

Cause it's a post about blatant discrimination and how easy it is to see other people's bigotry. I got that; I was kinda bein' sarcastic... "I gargle no man's balls..." ussfpa on SOCNET

I would guess most would admit it under oath. Haven't spent much time doing depositions in a divorce, I see... The real question is; would you admit to sex WITH A FAT CHICK the first time you are questioned? That's me; always taking the discourse to the next intellectual level...
