1. That's debatable. 2. Click this link and see who the High Commissioner for Human Rights is. Click this link and see who the Under-Secretary General for the Department of Disarmament Affairs is. Click this one and see the members of the Advisory Board on Disarmament. 3. The point...

Any anti-American hysteria that characterises the American nation, or the American people as evil, fascist, war hawkish etc is obviously completely off base. A legitimate quarrel with US foreign policy is perfectly fine. Decrying a nation for the actions of a few, as Babak has, is...

I don't know whether a raving lunatic like yourself deserves a response, but I'll err on the side of believing you're not a mental asylum escapee and ask you to point out just where I stated or implied that it was?

Not nearly as bad as the Croats.

Nice work whipping up anti-French hysteria Babak.

Thank you LongShot, I'll take that to mean you agree they require denounciation then?

Impressions can be deceiving though, can't they. I'm sure a great thinker like you would be well aware of that. FYI, yes, it would seem that I'm "too young" to have "undergone some great philosophical awakening or transformation", however I grew up very differently to most children. I was...

Discriminating on the basis of "rare qualities" -- regardless of how or why those qualities are selected -- isn't, I believe, unconstitutional. Discriminating on race is. As long as that is understood, you are free to convince them otherwise on matters of propriety.

. Like most people with nothing to say, you bastardize "ad hominem" to the hilt; using it even when there's nothing remotely ad hom about the remarks. As I said, you are merely repeating the assertions of your government. Have you stopped to consider whether they are based on kind of...

That's all you're likely to get here Toby. Unless Fox tells them, they simply block their ears and close their eyes. For some inexplicable reason, the idea that their government may be acting out of pure self-interest (self meaning the cats running the show and their pals) and just lying to...

I don't know TM, I don't really watch a lot of American news. But I have watched Hannity & Colmes a few times. I was just kidding around really. It's funny how they call it Hannity & Colmes but 80% of the talking is done by Hannity. He even outtalks his interviewees by a 6:1...

Colmes? Can he even get a word in? Robin from Batman and Robin had a greater pull in his partnership than this nancy boy.

"I know coz Fox tells me so". :) Good job repeating the company line on this war. You are obviously seeing Iraq, Iraqis and the Mid East through the filter of your own value system and expect that the above groups will also share it, or conform to it. That leaves you with a massive...

Bungrider, the selection process you advocate above is pure racial discrimination. If the selection criteria to academic institutions are based on academic potential -- as you'd imagine they should and would be -- then giving a more qualified candidates place to a less qualified based on...

Which may or may not be a good idea, but as I understand it, doesn't your consitution prevent discrimination on the basis of race?

I'll tell you in 2019.

Hey, STOP THE PRESSES! There's sign of intelligent life yet! Congratulations, TM. That was a very good point to bring up. Unfortunately, it's a bit late to implement into the current protests...

Buzzy, that is a far too complicated topic to discuss on this thread. I would be quite happy to begin another thread and talk about my views on these issues, but given that the typical response to the slightest suggestion that capitalism, as it practised in the US today, may not be the...

No, because you suggest I end my own life for disagreeing with you on the bravery/cowardice required to commit a suicide attack. You want to introduce "not hurting anyone else" into the definition of bravery, that's up to you. Go and speak to Merriam-Webster about it. While you're at it...

LOL. It's hard to believe I'm talking with a fully functioning adult here. Where the hell did I say (or even imply) that money doesn't matter?
