  1. If your avatar is a picture of yourself, you look extremely young for the age you gave. Problem: Fundamentalists. Solution: ? IMHO, fundamentalist don't bother me much with their words (preaching, interpretations, etc) Even when their fundamentlaism sways their votes. (that is the American way ... everyone should have a voice) However, I do take exception when their fundamentalism drives them to kill. Whether that be Christianity, Judaism or islam. Solution: People are allowed to remain fundamental so long as it does not drive them to kill? I believe that fundamentalism in regards to religion (whether for or against) creates more problems than it will ever provide solutions because it does not allow for compromises. However, I have no idea of a solution to the problem and since the problem does not allow comprise I doubt that both sides would agree to the solution. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  2. The president does not have enough power to "BRING IT ON" so I would not be so concerned. Does no one remember the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  3. Well, since so many people seem to believe the rest of the world hates us we need to be prepared to take on the next 8 nations when they attack us. Is it just possible that no-one likes a busybody? Maybe if we stopped meddling in other nations' affairs we'd have fewer that hate us. I was just joking. I personally don't think that the rest of the world hates us any more now than they did before. Nations have always distrusted other nations (due to lack of communication) and that distrust has often bread hate (helped by government propoganda). "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  4. Incorrent, we do listen. However, we don't always agree. Is everyone a fundamentalist? The world is not black or white, it is grey. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  5. But WHY WHY WHY do we need to outspend the next 8 nations combined? Well, since so many people seem to believe the rest of the world hates us we need to be prepared to take on the next 8 nations when they attack us. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  6. No! It appears as though people have had this idea forever and will most likely have this idea forever. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  7. Fact: Free basing methamphetamine is safer than taking over the counter aspirin for headaches. Note: No evidence will be provided to prove the aforementioned fact. Just believe me, believe everything I say, believe everything I do, believe me! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  8. A person can take out massive amounts of debt, buy a nice car, a nice house, live the good life. Eventually the debt must be repayed. America took out (and is taking out) massive amounts of debt, that rapidly progressed and maintains our society (way of life). Eventually the debt must be repayed. Similar to many other issues at hand, people know the issue exists, but would rather place their hands over their eyes and pretend it isn't there so they can maintain their way of life.

  9. I am claiming www.impeach.com right now! "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  10. In another thread someone provided a link showing that Department of Defense spending was less than Health and Human Services spending. Military spending is part of the problem, but it is not the problem. We have taken on massive amounts of debt through military spending, health and human services spending, providing aid to other nations (that has not and will not be repayed), trading with other nations, creating infrastructure for our economy, etc...

  12. Holy shit, (more) fake facts about drugs & alchohol. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  13. Your scenario above is not meddling in their business. Telling a country what they can and can not do is meddling. Offering financial assistance is not. There is a difference between being a savior and being a war monger. The scenario I mentioned is meddling in their business, just ask the local warlords. I agree that we should limit the amount of meddling we do in other countries. I disagree that ... and "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  14. and because we don't What about all the aid we provide to Africa that has saved hundred of thousands (if not millions) of lives, meddling in their business. You focus primarily on the negative while avoiding the positive in forming your opinions which makes you a pessimist. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  15. And you are doing what about it? (There are many areas that our meddling is for the better and not for the worse. Have you ever though about moving more towards optimism than pessimism?) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  16. Yeah, there's that whole pesky "freedom of speech" thing, though. Just because you are free to do something doesn't mean it makes sense. See also: www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2464663#2464663 So then, only speech that "makes sense" is to be protected? Who gets to make that determination? And, since you evidently wanted to bring my comment up for derision: how did that suggestion not make sense? Just because you have the right to do or say something doesn't mean you should do or say something. PS: There are always going to be people who believe (no matter what) that their religion is correct and there are always going to be people who believe (not matter what) that no religion is correct. Why don't we stop debating if a religion is correct and start working on solutions to problems people have with religion. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  17. Bob Saget, Proctology Exam Room, Excited ... run with it. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  18. I was hardly ever spanked. However, according to my parents, my younger brother was spanked almost every morning (he would misbehave every morning until he got his spanking). I wonder if that developed into a fetish? "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  19. You should aim at center mass first. (It is easier to aim at the head when they are rolling around on the ground after being shot center mass. ) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch

    Problem?

    People make decisions and live by the consequences. If you don't like the consequences, make better decisions. I would feel ... nothing. "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
  22. Instead of proving or disproving different religions why don't we focus on stating specific problems with religion and how to solve those problems. Here is a problem I have with religion and how to solve the problem. (Please respond if this is a possible solution people could agree upon or what problem the solution presents.) Problem: Some people feel that being preached to (for or against religion) when they did not ask to be preached to is a problem. Solution: Preach (for or against) religion only when asked. By stating the problems and attempting to find solutions we could alleviate many of the problems we have with religion while maintaining the solutions it provides. For some people it will always be a problem and for some people it will always be a solution. The best thing for everyone is to minimize the problems and maximize the solutions.

  24. You won't vote for someone based on a single issue but you will vote against them based on a fleeting moment? Uh, yeah. If I have to explain then you wouldn't understand. Actually, if you explained it I probably would understand. (I'll just assume that rehmwa explained it for you.) "That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch
