that didn't give them hope, and it wasn't based on them being christian. many of the songs slaves sung were their only way to communicate. for example, "follow the drinking gourd" was instructions on how to escape to canada. when the slave owners were all christian, they were forced into...

i wasn't generalising by comparing all insurgents to the terrorists.... btu there is a mindset that excuses all the abuses being carried out by terrorists and lumps everyone thats not happy with the u.s. over there as freedom fighters or insurgents. its one thing to just be opposing the...

they're not fighting for 'freedom', many of them are fighting for unbalanced power. how on earth does killing groups of innocent civilians, in markets, in mosques, equal fighting for freedom?

so, HotShot, what you are saying is, you have issue that America helped defeat Nazi Germany? Or is that simply because you have such utter disdain for Jews that it might not be a stretch that you'd not exactly have been emotionally broken up if the Holocaust had been completed against them...

because it says it was given to muhummad by an angel from god. duh.

what torture is that? the soldiers involved in the mistreatment are facing repurcussions, and jail time as well, i believe. however, the terrorists that are indiscriminantly killing innocent people, in iraq and elsewhere, are given the label of freedom fighters. i mean, i'm not going to try to...

last time i saw statistics for teen pregnancy, they were going down a bit, i think..... but i'd have to dig them up. though the obvious point with your claim about children becoming sexually active earlier is that if you look in history, in many eras and cultures, girls were married by the...

WW1...i'd have to check back, but there were some issues with it....the public in the U.S. was very opposed to entering the war...it was Europe's war, not America's. yeah, there was VERY good reason to keep Japan away from Hawaii and the western coast of the U.S. after Pearl Harbour, but that...

as for the first part, i can build something such that i can measure wind. we call those anemometers. we don't have a similar thing for measuring god. as for the second part.....read back a couple pages, i've hit times where the whole 'god comforting me' thing would've been nice and where the...

you're right, america shouldn't attack countries unless its directly threatened and has already been attacked. what was america doing thinking it could interfere in the the middle east in the gulf war and afhanistan? whoops, i mean in world war II against Germany, and against Japan in the south...

the heck? are we roleplaying Chasing Amy in here? in which case: "All every woman really wants, be it mother, senator, nun, is some serious deep-dickin'." and for more usefulness: "Alyssa: You know, I didn't just heed what I was taught, men and women should be together, it's the natural...

thats why i've never read hobbit....takes too long to get going. Lord of the Rings only got read because i forced myself in about a third or a half a book and then got captured in. once they get going they're good, imo, but they take too long before they really draw you in

and you're going with what theory this time round?

well true, but i'd think part of the agnostic view is that we don't know, whereas most religions say "yes, we do know"....so the two positions are "yes, there's a god" or "we don't know about that" either perpetual motion, or plausibly cold fusion?

yeah, but bush still needs support from the republican party. i dont think he wants to get impeached

again, i'm agnostic. i don't believe that there is no chance whatsoever of a god, i just have no evidence that there is. heck, i have VERY little problem with deistic thought, which is the idea that there is a god who started the universe and then hasn't intervened since then. i just don't feel...

you also can't prove that i don't have the ability to fly. you can't prove that one time, when i drop a rock, it'll go up instead of down. you can't disprove something, just give a theory that works better and is more probable. second, i'm not adamant, nor have been some of the other people...

Think of how illogical the statement that "The universe came into existance without the aid of the flying spaghetti monster" is. If you can prove that you can fairly not believe in the flying spaghetti monster, otherwise you're an "imbecile"

i didn't mean Bush's election. i meant that he would need support from the Republican party in the U.S., and THEY won't support going into Iran because it'll hurt them in elections

differences in iran are taht, one, the world as a whole is generally more worried about iran so diplomatic pressure might work where it couldn't work in iraq with france and russia in communcation with saddam the way they were.... and also, as far as the u.s. goes... politically, bush can't go...
