    Where's the huge cut-n-paste?
  2. NCclimber
    Here's a goodie about the 2nd Lancet study:

    What's your point?

    Of course, when thugs (like these guys) link their identity to a particular faith or group, it does strengthen those negative stereotypes.
  5. NCclimber
    If you say so. BTW The better of two crappy theories is still a crappy theory.
  6. NCclimber
    But have those claims been made by "two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration’s miserable handling of Iraq"?
  7. NCclimber
    Yeah, I can see how you'd conclude that.

    What did I make up? Again? Hey, how about we use the number of speeding tickets given out to determine how many people speed in a given day? Yeah, that ratio ought to be in line with documented deaths versus overall deaths. Outstanding comparison. Really.

    You could always go over, get some first hand experiences to talk about and bring back a report for the class. Why?

    The elephant in the corner does seem to get consistently overlooked.
  11. NCclimber
    Of course. 68,000 ... one million The difference is negligible... really... it is.
  12. NCclimber
    Then trying to explain it would probably be a waste.
  13. NCclimber
    Merely a return volley. I notice you didn't respond to my question about the guy's motivations. What a surprise.
  14. NCclimber
    What are you talking about? Do you just make this stuff up,... to support some delusional fantasy? Again - WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? You sound pretty paranoid to me. Getting back to the story (sort of)... do you think he snubbed Bush because of a general disdain for the man? I ask because it seemed to me that he was just overwhelmed by all the the attention and didn't want to talk to anyone... not even the President of the United States.

    Being good and decent... he probaly does not want to hang around with those who are not. Ever since I was very young I was told you are known by the company you keep It's sad that people feel the need to crap all over good stories with petty partisan blather. Some people seem incapable of anything else. Not you, of course.
  16. NCclimber
    Good show. You post a moving article about the actions of a good and decent person... and focus on your own schadenfreude.

    The problem has to do with the extremist interpretation of The First Amendment. This is much ado about nothing. If there is enough demand to warrant providing these foot-baths for students, then they should be installed.

    What a lovely comparison... but what do you think of people associated with "Your Black Muslim Bakery"?
  19. NCclimber
    You guys really should check out the ""Proud of their aggressive ignorance" thread.

    I said "how many" not "what is your meaning of". You just can't help yourself, can you? Thanks for keeping it above board. Sure. I can agree to that. I checked out the link that had "105 fatwas from Islamic scholars, 75 statements by Islamic Organizations (many of these signed by anywhere from 50 to 500 scholars from around the world), and 142 statements by individual Muslims." I looked at the page with the 105 Fatwas. Going by the subject given for each fatwa, a whopping 40 were about the Danish cartoons and merely 5 were about Bin Laden. IOW the Danish caroons recieved eight times as many fatwas as Bin Laden. I'm guessing you'll see nothing wrong with those kinds of screwy priorities.

    I think Newt's point was about how we are addressing the problem, not whether or not the problem is real.

    Two in diapers can be pretty compelling. Didn't mean to stir the pot on this one. I have no idea what you beef is with Target. My wife loves Target. So do many of her friends with small children.
  23. NCclimber
    Oh, I hate this kind of corporate welfare. Building stadiums on the taxpayer dime is a sleazy power grab. What I question is whether funding that stadium prevented the necessary repairs to that bridge from being financed. Kallend's OP implied as much. Correlation does not prove causation. Prevention is not the issue - priorities are the issue. Pirana is right. Do you have any evidence that the maintenance of that bridge was a low priorirty... that the construction of the stadium had any impact on funds potentially allocated for bridge maintenance?
  24. NCclimber
    Just wait til you have children. I'm guessing you'll forget about your differences w/ Target.
  25. NCclimber
    Tsk, tsk Looks like I hit a nerve. Boo hoo It is funny to see those who bitch and whine for entitlements (that other people will pay for) accuse others of whining because those others are not giving enough. Translation: I want mine and you better work hard enough for me to get it.
