I wonder what folks from Canada, Australia, Ireland, the USA, New Zealand, South Africa, West Indies, India, Poland, Palestine... were doing in Britain in 1940 fighting off an invader? Perhaps they should have stayed home. Nice bit of trollery, perfesser. Is Canada part of the "Afghani Commonwealth"? Are you suggesting the USA was part of the British Empire in 1940? No. Nearly all of the other countries you listed were members. Considering you are from England, I wonder why you would wonder about those countries' involvement.

THAT depends on how useful they would be. The USA welcomed Wernher von Braun with open arms and he was responsible for killing a whole lot of Allied civilians and servicemen. Red Herring is not on today's menu.

Can you provide a list of the people who died of lung cancer in 2006, in which secondhand smoke was shown to be the cause of their cancer? Ten percent of the 3000 deaths should suffice.

Or at least we know it was used on one occassion. This whole rationale of "we have two examples of profanity (over a seven year period), so that makes it okay for anyone to say whatever they want on national television", seems a lot like the lame excuse of "well, Johnny did it". Our courts are applying the critical thinking of an irresponsible 10 year old boy. Oh joy.

Ollie North broke some laws (som biggies, no doubt) out of a sense of duty to this country. Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 Americans, while carrying out an act of terrorism against this country. Excellent comparison, Bill. Really.

Lovely comparison, Bill. OSHA establishes Permissible Exposure Levels (PELS). OSHA has stated that it's nearly impossible to exceed PELS for secondhand smoke in just about any work environment.

what next? Guarantee day-care employees a virus and bacteria free work environment?

Here's what OSHA had to say 10 years ago:

And Ollie North and Cap Weinberger. And Hillary Clinton. Mooooo.

What about what those people do with OTHER PEOPLE's bodies, ie. non-smoking bystanders? You mean those bystanders, who voluntarily enter private properties, where the owner allows smoking?

Or the myopic perspective of so many of the left wingers who still think Clinton was impeached for getting a blowjob.

Why not just crack down on littering. While I think smokers are (somewhat) unjustly being treated as pariahs, I still get annoyed when I see butts being tossed out the window. One thing the tobacco companies could do to offset the increasingly negative image of smokers is launch a "Don't litter" campaign.

So then, you agree with the right wingers on Congressman Jefferson. Amazon is a Neo-con?

Priuses get 60 mpg?

...from the article. I'll have to call bullsh*t on that one. I'll mark that one up to Canadian media hype. They're just trying to make sound like we have it soooo bad here. I believe it is in the fine print of your passport. You are bound to all US laws when you travel outside the country. Depending on the severity of the crime, they may pursue you when you return. This is used to snag major offenders (slave trade, abuse of minors, drug trade, etc etc). During the cigar hype from a few years back, the US reminded people just what the laws were around Cuban cigars, and this did include smoking them while in Canada or Mexico. So, students studying abroad don't drink before they are 21? Everyone who goes to Amsterdam avoids the pot smoking? What a joke. What about if you are on the high seas, in no territorial waters? This kind of stuff just pisses me off. This is about Federal laws (I think). In this case, I'm guessing it has to with consuming goods from an embargoed country. Our across-the-board restrictions pertaining to Cuba are pretty absurd, especially since the Cold War has been over for 15 years. Maybe our next President will figure out some way to renew trade relations with them.

They do? Yes. They do. United States Government Energy Information Administration's official statistics (excel file. relevant data below) Mar-07 SUNOCO INC CRUDE OIL VENEZUELA Thanks. It looks like just about all US oil companies import from Venezuela. What to do?

They do?

Global warming is caused by Daylight Savings Time. That extra hour of sunlight is what's causing it. If we want to cool down, we should end DLS. Why is this so hard for people to figure out? Peer review, schmeer review... what a bunch of non-sense. Turn yer clocks back... YA MO-RONS!!!

Hey Billvon, Does posting lies about people count as a PA?

More logical fallacies courtesy of Billvon. Has it occurred to you that this is basically a non-issue, that one (or maybe few) little lefties are pushing to create a dustup? I quoting you to get on record that you think there is nothing wrong with child molestation. You seem to be subscribing to the Rush Limbaugh school of thought that unless someone is with you on tangential side issues, then they wholeheartedly side with the opposition. Seems kind of myopic.

What a lovely contrast. Unfortunately it's irrelevant to the matter of believing in Christ's divinity. I'm not sure how someone can consider hisself a Christian without it.

These letters are going to show which Republicans begged to have Scooter's sentence mitigated rather than him being punished according to the law. How does going to bat for Libby prove they value the GOP over national security? Was Libby convicted of breaking national security laws? If you don't know what the CIA leak case was about, maybe you should check with those ultra-liberals at Christian Science Monitor. They've done a great job explaining it in easy-to-understand terms. http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/1028/p03s01-uspo.html Thanks for the link. Now, if you could actually address my questions.

All the more profit for Exxon-Mobil and friends. Dropping prices means more profits? No kidding. I didn't know that.
