Add To Watch List Email Article Print Article England! We need your thoughts By Sally jacobs Posted Wednesday, April 19, 2006 on sallyjacobs Discussion: Misc So what is a stereotype? Stereotypes are considered to be a group concept, held by one social group about another. They are often used in a negative or prejudicial sense and are fre
To be fair, nobody on Will and Grace is cheating on their straight spouse, serially, and chronically, rather than facing up to the obligations of their marriage vows: either "going straight", or being honest with their spouses and getting a divorce. My wife and I find W&G hilarious and remarkably inoffensive. What I personally find offensive about Brokeback Mountain was the implication that being gay is a valid excuse to also be a liar, a che
Since Iran is already sponsoring terrorists attacking American interests in Iraq, how would the situation change if we bombed Iran? Seems to me that the Iranian government is already perpetrating as much terrorism against the U.S. as it can get away with. If we started bombing them now, not only would it have no effect on their motivation (they're already highly motivated), but it would also quite likely reduce the amount of terrorism
Thank you, Brad.
Probably more like "should be treated iwth suspicion by everyone but its own citizens, who are quite properly trying to increase their own power". This puts the whole issue back in the realm of competition between different cultures, value systems, and communities. And that is exactly where this issue should be dealt with. Of course each nation should concern itself with increases of power by its neighbors, and deal promptly with suc
Since I have been BL'd by the offender here and she just can't seem to lay off the drama, The irony of this opening line is bitter like the coffee I drink every morning (except that I put cream and sugar in mine, which makes it acutally a lot less bitter than this irony).
Muslims as individuals are just people. I don't know any personally, so I don't have much of an opinion. If I did know some, I'd form opinions on a case-by-case basis, each individually. Islam as an ideology has little that commends itself to me. Some of the seven pillars sound like really good ideas, but other religions have the same ideas, as well as other ideas I find sensible and compelling, and far fewer ideas I find bizarre and wrong.<
What does this even mean?
Gene, what's your source? All I have is [a href="http://news.findlaw.com/ap/p/56/04-06-2006/0eda002841670f5c.html"]this AP report[/a]. The report quotes Howard Dean as saying the information was "classified", but that's about it. No reporting on what gave Dean the idea, or wether or not the idea is correct. So what makes you say the information was "classified"? Other than the ranting of Howard Dean, that is.
I thought this was about whether the policies were good or bad, not whether the masses wanted them or not. Gene, when did the subject change?
Trickle-down effect. Started in the 80s, paid off in the 90s. Now it's been started again in the 2000s. It'll pay off in the 2010s. Obviously, the solution isn't to attack Bush, but to elect at least one more term of Republicans. Also, here's a question for you: what economic policy started in the 90s "paid off" with increased economic hardship across the board in the 2000s? What administration/party/faction/ideology was responsible for that policy?
Gene, I'm very sorry about the multiposts. I've been trying to fix them all morning, but the site won't let me. I'll keep trying.
Ugh. Multi-post error! I'm so sorry. I'll fix it as soon as the site lets me. Meanwhile, I BLAME BUSH.
[b]Job growth since Jan 2001 is short by 1.7 Million jobs to be equal with Jan 2001 Source Bureau of Labor Statistics[/b] By my estimate, Silicon Valley alone had about 1.7 million bogus tech jobs in 2001.

And doesn't he have other responsibilities, as well? Wouldn't Gene's solution of reassigning the military to border patrol duties result in failure to discharge his national security duties?
I'm not yet convinced that they're right. I think they'll have to sink even lower to get me to see things their way.
Just end the Iraq occupation and employ the Active forces as needed to control the border. We could also provide the 10,000 added border guards Bush said were needed. Gene, what practical problems do you think this proposal would have, and how would you fix them?
Right on, Muggaz! Don't let the anonymous cowards and fifteen year old blowhards get you down. Gid, a real man only keeps track of the colors he needs to identify his Chosen Team. Sure, there may be hundreds of team colors out there, but each team (and each fan) only has to remember his own team's colors. The other team is always "those fags with their gay colors and shit".
When the next terrorist attack takes place (most experts say it is not if but when and how) I wonder what the excuse will be for not preventing the attack. You're the ex-soldier, Gene, you tell us. When you're in-theater, and the next enemy attack takes place (your own S2, your higher command, and your academy training tell you it's not if but
Will this election be the first step on the road to peace? Hopefully. Well, it's not like the Palestinians have taken any steps lately...
I see there are very few GREAT accomplishments of GWB. That was my thought as well. I think that when you unpack the things I listed, you'll find they involve enough activity to justify an eight-year presidency. Add to that his leadership of the country during a recession, and following the mo
To be fair, lots of people have been having the double post problem. SECRET MEMO PROVES BUSH KNEW ABOUT THE DOUBLE POSTING PROBLEM!
