I've also read (in a Norse news article) that Palestinian children are ecstatic about this programme. The program also allows viewers to call and sing along to anti-Israeli songs. Eh. As long as it is succesful, that all that counts. Still is a bit...  [Read More]

I don't think Hamas cares about the kids other than as human bombs. Sure they do. Who else leads Hamas? Adults who grown up from kids. :) Plus, kids are their future. They are the ones who will inherit Palestine, and bring it to prosperity. In an...  [Read More]

True, however we can't run a war by committee, nor can it be ran by popular opinion. Actually, maybe it should. No, we won't randomly pick [So-and-So] to be Supreme General of the American Army, but we do need to look over and have the Military's ac...  [Read More]

Listen, many people AGREE with you that terrorism is bad. But they disagree with how to fight it. That's it. Disagreement. That is not cause for concern. Especially since I'm more worried of the threat of China and Russia. If we all agree on the s...  [Read More]

Art is that which is made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind and/or spirit. There is no general agreed-upon definition of art, since defining the boundaries of "art" is subjective, but the impetus f...  [Read More]

In a word, yes, but not just in writing. For example, suppose you play Doom, without any story whatsoever. But you get to destroy evild emons. You receive a visceral thrill in that killing and that murdering of demons. If you even play Pac-Man, the...  [Read More]

Hm, this is my first RP on this forum, but I have been in several RP games. Let see how this goes. Do you have a profile for HK-101? If not, do I have to design him? How exactly is he related to HK-47? Did HK-47 make him? Or is HK-101 designed by a...  [Read More]

To: SilentScope, that's just setting up another Taliban situation. We allied with the Taliban to go play Cold War against the Ruskies, and then that bit us in the butt. We allied with Saddam against the Russians, and that too bit us in the butt. For...  [Read More]

Actually Clinton was impeached for lieing under oath before a Federal Grand Jury. Also at this point, it wouldn't surprise me that evidence used to impeach Bush would later turn out to be bogus like the forged documents that CBS used to try to get it...  [Read More]

Dagobahn Eagle provided a list of all the laws that Bush has allegedly broken. My argument was simply that these allegations are apparently without much merit. If otherwise then we would see a lot more action in the Democrat-controlled House of Repre...  [Read More]

No. Did Bush ever committed any crime? Impeachment is for crimes committed by the President, and crimes do not include doing something that the majority of Americans hate. But Bush can be impeached. All it takes is a majority vote in the House of R...  [Read More]
