What is interesting about this proportionality discussion to me is how do you determine it. What if Israel ceased fire and did not fire a single missile or shoot a single bullet for 5 years. The Palestinians continue with suicide bombings killing on average 500 innocent Israelis a year. After...

Maybe the minutemen in the U.S. can learn from this. They can just start firing indiscriminate bombs over the border and the U.S. won't have to worry about a thing because we can't help it if some rogue citizens decide to go on a shooting spree. Mexico would not be able to say a thing because...

I would say an idiot is someone who never contributes anything with even an inkling of intelligence to it. By the way, I am surprised that you were able to get your tongue out of Castro's ass long enough to type this.

The repatriation of foreign assets may not happen again, but the real estate capital gains certainly can. You can disagree with that all day long, but only time will tell. Most Americans I would say don't understand economics in even a basic sense. They hear numbers without understanding the...

How does the Homeland Investment Act hurt Joe Schmoe? I don't even think you can make a strong defense for saying that the AMT has affected lower income levels. Theories aside, do you have proof that the AMT has affected even 5% of the lower class. I know you didn't write this, but you posted...

8 million jobs were created, however unemployment remained high. This was a time when we saw more women moving out of the homemaker position and into the working world. The oil embargo hurt Carter badly, creating large run ups in inflation. Not the worst economic time in our history. The...

King comeback.

Personality and a sense of humor. A double threat guy. It must be hard being as uptight as you are. One question. Does your vagina hurt right now?

Would you call this the "I've got my panties in a bunch" fallacy?

I have two scenarios for the game today or the biggest jinx of all time.:D I think it will either be a 2-1 victory for France in OT, or it will be a 0-0 tie with France winning the PK's. I really think it will be the first scenario though. Any other last minute predictions before game...

I wanted to bump this thread with the whole situation going on with Ehran Watada. I thought it was a good discussion, and this definitely falls under the subject that was discussed. I also was hoping to hear from Brandonf who I have not seen post in Chit Chat in a while. I hope your step...

If the U.S. finds a cure for cancer due to stem cell research, should they withhold it from all countries and their people who disagree with U.S. policy? You would probably think that the U.S. would, but then you also believe that it is the responsibility of the U.S. to put more funding towards...

The British Bullshitting Corporation! Puh-leez! As if they don't have an agenda as well. I wonder if this thread will deteriorate into a my country's news service is better than your country's news service. We'll wait for Mahram to come in and explain how CBC is actually better through his...

Yes, and how many US civilians were killed by Nazis. If this is the only way to weigh whether a war may be valid, then why were we in Kosovo, Mogadishu, Viet Nam, Germany, Korea, or the first Persian Gulf War? No U.S. civilians being killed in any of these.

There are some false assumptions with your own post here. The first being that Iraqis do not want us over there which is the parallel that you draw with the illegal immigrant statement that you made. What has happened over there with the rape/murder of innocent civilians is truly one of the...

Thank you. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now.

Nice.

I enjoyed your post. Can you address the two articles that I posted. Especially the interview with Ball. I would assume you agree with him, but the contention would be that the cooling would be much more considerable, but for the CO2 emissions quelling it. I'm also curious if you know...

The finals yes, but I am wondering if in the semis all four teams have ever been all European.

If France beats Brazil, we are going to have an all European semi-finals. That would be pretty cool I think. I wonder if that has ever happened in World Cup history? Does anyone know?
