But that's exactly what terrorism does. Because one guy can kill hundreds to thousands it has a multiplier effect in fear. I think americans do overreact in the wrong ways. The ineffectiveness of bin laden after 9-11 is because of our reaction, not because suddenly they got dumber. Saudi...

My model, fitted with 57 inputs in a neat set of highly tuned algos, says shorts get massacred, then longs get a sharp uppercut after new year, shorts get de-pantsed from 10-18 january, then longs get theirs balls taken off with surgical precision until 1 March. In march the longs and shorts lay...

The very nature of jesus and the reserrection were under hot debate at the council of nicea, less so since then. There is no single interpretation, at least since many sects have split from the catholic church. the ages old struggle of employer versus employee is not class warfare...

Christianity doesn't have a core, there are thousands of sects and millions of interpretations. Its evolution is is marked by the large decline of violence against nonbelievers, the declining attacks on secularism and science, and declining role it pays in everyday life. This morass of religion...

I am not a Christian, if I had to live under 15th century Christianity I would feel the same about them. Western christians evolved and secularized so I don't mind living with them, muslims didn't. Try to imagine Tom Paine writing Age of Reason in any muslim nation today, he would be killed...

Anywhere Islam borders non-Islam there is conflict. Shia and sunni at at each others throats too. Iran-Iraq for instance. The taliban considered shia to be non-muslims, and shia are treated poorly in places like saudi. It's all symptomatic of this primitive barabaric religion. The west...

Poly sci is easy everywhere, it's akin to theology. Make up some bullshit thesis, piece together some stats and some anecdotes, add in some embellishment.... sorry, not impressed, I've been around the block. I have not seen the 'smackdown', I've seen Obama dependent on cliches and...

Getting a poly sci degree indicates nothing, my dog could do it. winning elections indicates nothing either, Marion Barry exibit A Franken and Obama are empty suits, their intellectual rigor is that of a good high school senior.

political science, LOL!

I know people on medicare and medicaid. The medicaid folks face blackouts (non covered months) due to funding shortfalls. The medicare and medicaid folks I know have limited choices in doctors because medicare limits payments. Do you trust government? I don't. I'd rather take an insurance...

I think I need to get drunk and stay drunk instead of paying attention to this. Why is it called health care reform when it costs at least a trillion more dollars? That's reform? promising more money we don't have? I though the demos big selling point was that we could save big coin by having...

Bigarrow typifies the wrongheaded thinking of americans who buy liberal crap. 1. He thinks medicare is solvent. It isn't and with this plan its about to get worse. People like this don't really care the government has to print money to keep medicare going, all they want is for government to...

ah to be king and mete out justice... I'd put Madoff in the same prison as the likes of Manson and all sexual predators. Then I'd freely distribute viagra and have gay porn shown all day on large hi def TVs in each cell.

I don't understand one thing here... well first of all 100T is not exaggerating. The gov't has a clear record of overspending and underestimating costs of programs. Back to my point, the answer is quite simple, the problem is health care , so stop giving away so much. SSI can be handled, its...

don't get so upset, the thread did say 'looking for homos in San Diego'

How about one guy was really never at home in the republicans, or he had a pissing contest with leadership, or he has an unstable personality, or he hates someone republican. Generally sweeping conclusions like yours are wrong.

The left always does the most damage, because they sweep everyone into their stupid social schemes and the costs are always way more than they say at the beginning, and way more than anything the republicans have cost us with their stupid spending. Medicare + Medicaid + SSI = $60 Trillion...

You draw sweeping conclusions based upon the actions of one republican? So then in june when some demos changed the power of the new york senate by voting with republicans http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/08/revolt-could-imperil-democratic-control-of-senate/ that says what? That...

In one sentence you admit ignorance but then jump right to your conclusion, good illustration of why people are prone to delusion.

Did you consider the possibility that one member in a small state legislature switching parties and not affecting the balance of power is not a significant piece of news?
