It's possible weather patterns influencing crop production were also relevent...it's just not a tangent I care to take. Feel free to start your own 'Why It Can't Happen Here' thread. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I have no issue with either of your points ...they just aren't related to mine. My comments were concerning ...how such things can start. They start somewhere. With the possible exception of military coups, they don't spring, full blown, into the historical atrocities I referred to. They start by otherwise good people reacting instinctually to a problem (real or perceived) without the inclination or ability to look down the road and see the consequences. Regarding the US, I am most concerned with the progressively functional dissolution of the Bill of Rights and wonder if the knuckle draggers and club pounders will be able to look back and see what they contributed to. While I have opinions about our war in Iraq, I am far more concerned with what our government has done and is doing at home. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Hitler began his rise to power by blaming the labor unions for the nation's economic woes(blaming and killing Jews came only after the patriots entrenched his power. Politically led blood purges start small and gain momentum as patriots clamor to come on board. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

my thoughts exactly. I had an Alzheimer's patient ex-Nazi. tell everyone about his experience. he said that the Nazi's came into his school and asked for volunteers. Those who didn't volunteer, weren't heard from again. So he volunteered. A leader can't make a major ideological or cultural shift without a significant percentage of willing, loyal followers. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

That is possibly the most conceited post I've read here. You seem completely oblivious to your sin of comparing your fellow travellers to Hitler's Nazis in the most glib and unsupported way while managing to avoid any iota of introspection concerning your own political opinions in a greater historical context. I suspected you would have difficulty seeing the problems. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I was referring to the etiology of national and curtural shifts. They don't just spring up out of the blue. In the beginning, at least, you have a strong leader and loyal patriots who love their country. These 'instinctual mind' types are easily swept up in nationalism ...jingoists, if you will. Then they start eroding national and personal freedoms ...in the name of national and personal freedoms. Once starting down that slippery slope, where does it go? Beginning to see the connection yet? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

I have.. and let me assure you its VERY subjective and VERY much the reading comprehension of the banning party. You got that right! ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Last night, I watched 'James Cameron's Expedition'. It was a documentary and undersea exploration of the Bismark. Along with the film crew were several survivors of the Bismark. Here's what really struck me. One of the survivors stated that, at the time, they "were absolutely convinced it was the right thing to do" Hitler had captured their hearts and minds and they felt strong and proud. They felt they had a great leader with a clear vision of what needed to be done. They were patriots. Looking back, over 60 years later, they realize the insanity of it all and how they were led beyond morality and reason. I log onto this forum and re-read some comments by our resident jingoists concerning Bush and his vision, and I wonder ...what will their historical perspective be? ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Sex offender registration...always appropriate?

Ok I guess you are right.. its the little sluts fault. Why are you being so irrational on this subject? Lindsey's comments are quite reasonable. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it". -

Molestation is an term used to describe any form of sexual contact. They could very well have just been 'playing doctor' for what we can tell from the information presented. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it". -
sigh A man is convinced he is dead. His wife and kids are exasperated. They keep telling him he's not dead. But he continues to insist he's dead. They try telling him, "Look, you're not dead; you're walking and talking and breathing; how can you be dead?" But he continues to insist he is dead. The family finally takes him to a doctor. The doctor pulls out some medical books to demonstrate to the man that dead men do not bleed. After some time, the man admits that dead men do not bleed. The doctor then takes the man's hand and a needle and pokes the end of his finger. The man starts bleeding. He looks at his finger and says, "My God, I don't understand how I could have been so wrong!" DEAD MEN DO BLEED!" ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Basically, all we have left is God, Guns and the right not to house British troops. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it". -
I think most women shave it nowadays anyway. Hair is gross. Be wary of the man who wants your pussy to look like a 5-year old's. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

What is done to a flat line, anything? CPR, epinephrine and atropine. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

All the medical shows that 'shock' (defibrillate) asystole (flat line). You don't shock the heart to start it, you defibrillate ventricular fibrillation to stop unwanted cardiac activity. ----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".

Is that a test to judge how well you lay face down on the ground in a token of humility, submission, or adoration??? How'd you do?
