Condescend much? My life is awesome. I really, really don't need any help with it. If your life sucked and Jesus helped you make it better, good for you. Just don't assume that everyone else's life sucks just because yours used to. - Dan G

Obviously, one trillion dollars is way, way too much. I'm not saying that the F-35 is the answer. I'm just saying that our air superiority shouldn't be assumed if we don't have the hardware to dominate any potential adversary. - Dan G

Are the Redskins players and management Native American? If so, then that would be the same as a bunch of black guys calling themselves NWA. Otherwise, not so much. - Dan G

And now that I actually looked up what Oprah said, your example is even less convincing. She said: "There is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs, in some cases—and maybe even many cases—because he’s African-American" See if you can tell the logical difference between these two statements: 1. Some people oppose the President because he's black. 2. All people who oppose the President are racist. Let me know if you need me to draw a Venn diagram for you. - Dan G

While "Oprah" and "Obama" may look like the same word at a distance, she is not, nor never has been, a member of Obama's administration. She was not speaking on the administration's behalf, she was expressing her own opinion. Try again. (BTW, your google search just delivered right wing websites making the same claim as regulator without actually backing it up, just like you.) - Dan G

So when a police official comes to the school and says, "We have information that a shooter is on his way to the school," you'll be just fine when the principal says, "I'm sorry, I can't act on that, it's just heresay." - Dan G

I don't think you're following the argument. If Ron is going to use his personal experience as evidence for Christ, all I ask is that he allows everyone else's experience to be used as well. That position assumes nothing about who is right or wrong. That conclusion would follow from an examination of all the evidence. I'll just letting Ron look in the back of the book so he can see that the preponderance of evidence might point to a conclusion he's not comfortable with. Let me simplify it for you. I'm trying to get Ron to see that personal experience shouldn't be accepted as evidence of anything outside of that person. - Dan G

He speaks for himself all the time. His words to the press are what regulator is complaining about. But for argument's sake, please show any example of where someone speaking for Obama (not someone speaking for themselves) has pulled the racist "old fall back". - Dan G

Yeah, that's exactly what, "We had information from law enforcement that there were documented instances of gang activity in the area and we had information that states that the rosary was being used as a symbol of gang affiliation," means. - Dan G
-
Nope. The world is about 31% Christian. That means 69% non-Christian. If Ron is willing to accept as evidence the personal spiritual experience of 61% of the planet as evidence of the non-existence of Christ, then I'll gladly accept his personal spiritual experience as evidence for Christ. - Dan G

Regardless of whether there is hope, there is the possibility, and it seems more and more likely with the way Russia is acting lately. - Dan G

Rich Winstock Swoop Incident Cover-Up

You mean, "If I knew all that he implies he knows, but won't say outright..." - Dan G -
It's naive to think we'll never face an enemy that has a technologically advanced air force. Preparing for the last war instead of being prepared for the next is foolish. - Dan G

Except from turtle's first link: So Christian dress is not being excluded, just rosaries which are being used to denote gang affiliation. Second link is similar, with only rosaries, not crosses or other Christian dress, being banned. - Dan G
-
I'll accept your personal experience as evidence as soon as you accept the personal experience of the rest of humanity. Christianity does not have the majority of personal experience on its side. - Dan G
-
This "old fallback" exists entirely in your mind. Show me one time when Obama has accused someone who disagrees with him of being racist. - Dan G
-
I'm sure that was your perception. I doubt it very much. One, how do you know the Muslims weren't natural born Americans? Two, it sounds like no one had to change in the end anyway. That case was very strange, and I think the decision was wrong. The principal was trying to prevent ethnic violence, but he clearly overstepped his bounds. - Dan G
-
Do you think the Muslims also had to fight for their right to wear their clothing? - Dan G
-
I find it very hard to believe that a public school would ban a child from wearing a cross. - Dan G
-
What is Christian dress? - Dan G
-
That life may be easier, but life is a lot better and more enriching if people are free to live wherever they want, and worship as they please, without their ignorant neighbors or overreaching government discriminating against them for it. So what would you do if a Muslim family moved into your town? - Dan G
-
I don't think he meant, "my business" as in his place of business. I took it to mean, "my life." There is no way to keep public policy out of your life. And in case you haven't noticed, athiests, Muslins, Jews, Hindus, Zoarstrians, Wiccans, Buddhists, and FSMists are part of the public, too. - Dan G

For those wishing to actually learn about what's going on there, as opposed to trying to score points, here is a very good article. Yes, it is opinion, but it is educated and thoughtful opinion. The words "Obama" and "Bush" do not appear in the article. http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/12/opinion/pregent-harvey-northern-iraq-collapse/ - Dan G

Yeah, you guys are so innocent. - Dan G

So when Obama takes credit for pulling the troops out, you scream, "He was just following the agreement Bush put in place!" Now, when the shit hits that fan, you want to blame him alone, conveniently forgetting all about Bush's agreement? You funny. - Dan G
