As I said, English isn't the official language of the United States, so, either campaign for it to be, or get over it. Cheers

So, if an American moved to another country and demanded that the other country adhere to the American's lifestyle, language, etc., you'd support him? Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm all for the idea that when in Rome, do like the Romans, not make th
Democratic voters do not have the moral integrity to equate dishonesty to your family as a trait that should disqualify one from a leadership role. Oh yes, and all those voters who voted for Gingrich surely had moral integrity. Or the fact that Reagan was m

Yeah, I'm embittered because the teachers have no control over a lot of the students. It bothers me that my learning is stunted because the teacher has no control over the kids and can't do a thing about it. I blame this on bad parenting. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#F
Hell, they let Hitler take back the Rhineland without so much as a peep Americans attended that confrence too.

I'm a high school student right now And clearly an embittered one. Cheers
Absolutely Guardsman died in Vietnam, but the experience was different is all I'm saying. But saying that Bush was a war hero? Yeah right. Cheers
Ahh, but Jamie, there used to be a time when we got both presidents b-days off work...
I would just like to take this minute and thank Canukistan for keeping us all up to date on Canadian Politics. Unfortunately few people respond to his post so they rarely make it up on the Recent Forum Posts. Keep up the good work. Cheers
By which I mean Guardsman are being used as regular troops in this war. Cheers
Go tell the National guard that thier dutys are "cushy" in front of thousands of them, see how it turns out, then come on back and let us know how you made out. There's a small difference between the Guardsman who served today, in a non-draft situation, and those who served thirty years ago, in a draft
If this turns up true it's huge trouble for Kerry. Here comes another " I did not have sex with the woman" news conference. Ehhh, maybe, the problem is, a majority of Americans don't really care if the politicians commit adultry. Sure there's the vocal few that do, but Clinton's approval ratings didn't
Yee gods! Another Democrat Sex Scandal. Didn't you republicans learn from the last one that a majority of Americans don't care?
Ahh, but the majority rarely brings a case before the courts, by which I mean the appelate and supreme courts.
That's true, I am, however, in this case I'm using the people who live in the country, many of whose families lived there since before the creation of the state of Israel and how they are treated. This is an interesting arguement we have since right-leaning people, such as yourself Brad, not indicating extremism on your part, tend to speak towards moderation in the case of Israel, while more left leaning people, such as myself, tend to speak out for I
While I understand your take on that Brad, our view on judicial matters differ. That's probably because I went to law school, but ended up hating the practice, but I myself have always thought the courts were there to protect the rights of the minority. Cheers
::laughs:: I was an agnostic in the home of a minister growing up, let me tell you that led to some interesting discussions. Cheers
Link There's the complete text of the Geneva Convention
Alright, here are the relevant parts of the Geneva Convention: Article 4 A. Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy: 1. Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed force
I'm not sure about that. I'll look into it and report back
Al Queda operatives and many Taliban soldiers did not conform to the Geneve Convention requirements to be treated as a POW. I'm not exactly sure how Taliban soldiers don't conform to the Geneva Convention. The US may not have actually declared war on either Afghanistan or Iraq, but they did intiate act
Netstarman, I refer you to an arguement in Prediction: Kerry wins big in New Hampshire Cheers
Now that's an intelligent response. Cheers
Simple fact: a sovereign Palestine containing Arab people never existed in any time in history, therefore the Palestinians have no claim to the property, While it's true a sovereign Palestine never existed, it has been Arab land for a very long time. In fact, it's been in Arab hands since shortly after
Your right, I'm sorry, I thought the "plight" of the palestinians was evidence enough. Killing 12-year old children to get at a body guard seems a little excessive to me. Cheers
