I vote for omnivore. And if meat be poison......please let me kill myself with a nice piece of prime rib.....rare preferably, but med rare will do fine. ;)... [Read More]
Since theism was around first, it would seem to be more accurate to state the atheists are defending themselves against theists. :eyeraise: Odd claim, given your position that atheism is the "natural state" (if we're natural born atheists.... [Read More]
Might be interesting to see what that transparency actually reveals. Only real question is how long a legal fight might delay the release of said records. Lawyers can drag things out for an eternity if they are any good.... [Read More]
I think that if someone found that GM had a building that resembled a pentagram from an aerial vantage, we'd hear very similar rumblings. No doubt if the building were built to look like a cross or 6 pointed star, you'd get similiar people (probabl... [Read More]
Well......in an age of hypersensitivity to perceived insults, perhaps the architects could have used a different model. Otherwise.............big deal.... [Read More]
Yeah, TK, but that would be 2 things......the simple and the obvious. No, they wish to get everything on the cheap, so to speak. Their agenda on our money.... [Read More]
They can do with it whatever they want, but when they teach it to say “no”, I’m leaving. I was half expecting his name to be Caesar. 10 to 1 no one knows what the hell the old fart is talking about. Well, it will only be a problem if the ch... [Read More]
I've noticed that you can't change her appearance with KSE either. No matter what other selection you make....you still get the handmaiden. Is there something in TSL that makes it difficult to change (not merely modify) the handmaiden's appearance to... [Read More]
Well, in the case of gold (& other precious metals), the proponents were bound to be right one day......good for you tk. Do you remember where they were pricewise when you got in?... [Read More]
The real question here, though, is exactly what are the intentions behind depressing the USD down to appear competitive? What's the point of no return? In about a six years or so, the $US has gone from ~1.17Euros to about ~.72 (thereabouts)Euros and... [Read More]
Well, as the rep of the PRC, what are your stated interests? What strategic goals do you wish to pursue in that region? Fans of "self-determination"? Wonder how Tibet feels about that, or Taiwan for that matter. You could try and pursue som... [Read More]
Seems to me that given the proliferation of communications technology globally, there's no need to humor the world's despots and give them a public relations coup by "allowing" them to make the lecture circuit, thus further enhancing their... [Read More]
If there's an actual question and answer phase, and the audience isn't stacked/pre-selected, there might be some value to having somone like Achy come and give a speech where he can actually be put on a hotseat. But, if we're just talking about some... [Read More]
Between his interview on tv and his standard "Iran loves everyone" schtick, he didn't really say anything remotely interesting. Should Columbia have invited him? No. Given that we are not in a state of declared war w/Iran, I'm not sure exac... [Read More]
Well, I suspect that "swiss cheese memory", in all fairness, probably predates RR. But, that reference does remind of that SNL bit with Phil Hartman as RR. Perhaps you saw it? Whether one falls in the "I hate Ron/I love Ron" camp,... [Read More]
Tim Russert memory stayed the same throughout the ordeal. Mr. Libby is the one that changed his story on 07/10/2003 he told the grand jury he learned Plame’s identity from Russert. Later he recanted that and “remembered” seeing a note that jogg... [Read More]
No, we didn't have evidence. In fact, we had an operative go the the country where Saddam allegedly bought the nuclear materials that came back and said that there was nothing. We had U.N. weapons inspectors in the country looking where the intellige... [Read More]
snipped comments related to deleted material And we could be spending $2 billion per day here making sure that didn't happen. You feel safer knowing that al qaeda and the madhi army are killing people over there that are supposed to protect us over... [Read More]
Being the world's "sole superpower" is not a question of deserving in the eyes of the world as much as in actual ability to be it at all. If I can beat up everyone in the playground (whether as an act of offense OR defense), then I'm effect... [Read More]
*imagines the number of possible civilian deaths that most likely resulted from burning Japanese out of caves on Okinawa, wonders where all the slimy lawyers were back then, and shrugs. note: Civilians are often unfortunate caualties of war. Until s... [Read More]
You don't get to be Director of the CIA by being a dummy. Same is true for SecDef, but that didn't make Robert Mcnamarra a good one. Book smarts is only part of the equation. Besides, there have always been a lot of "smart" people who get... [Read More]
So, who's accusing the guy of actually planting evidence? The "enemy"? Tim Mcgirk? The big problem here appears to be that the military is operating under orders that put the men at risk, b/c as soon as things like this "hit the papers... [Read More]
