This hasn't already happened?

Who knows why these people do or think what they do? But anything is possible. Do you think Pakistan can be trusted? Who's in charge there anyway? Where is their allegiance? As for the Palestinians, yup, I agree. Give them their land. No problem. All they need is a leader that will say "Okey...

The VC was in conflict with China? When did this happen?

Actually, I was thinking more in terms of Iraq drawing Isreal into the fray, which could result in a nuclear strike, which could conceiveably escalate if it drew in counter strikes by other nuclear powers. And we don't know for sure who has the capacity. At least you and I don't. But we do...

This is getting ridiculous. I mean me and max being in complete agreement? Candle's arguments are not only over the top, but so oversimplified as to defy any real coherent response. 'Cause how do you respond to madness? Of COURSE the US will not preclude the use of nuclear weapons. We have...

Well, you have certainly proven to be MORE than an expert. Now if we can find someone who knows half as much about trading as you do about bowling, we will all be set. For the record, I really like bowling. But haven't done it in a while. When I was living in Las Vegas, I got into it. (I...

Gotta go with Max on this. (Politics indeed make strange bedfellows). But no doubt about it. The contention that the US is an "imperialistic" "quasi-empire" is ludicrous. Max's definition of "imperialism" is exactly accurate. And I cannot see how you can possibly equate US foreign policy...

Why is it now easier to bowl a 300? And of course this thread would degenerate in a page or two. Wouldn't you have been disappointed (surprised) if it had not?

Best female athletes, (bodywise) are gymnasts and ice skaters IMO. (I am a leg guy, so it's all in the eye of the beholder). Met Chris Everett last year. I was amazed at how little she is. I thought she would be big and strong. I am sure she has lost a lot of "bulk" since her playing days...

I guess I am not bright enough to understand your post Candle. Please explain to me how we are "ruthless" and "imperialistic" in our foreign policies? What countries have we overrun? And what spoils of war have we enjoyed? As for separating our "American way of life" which is, it would...

Aphie? :)

While the term "news" is one thing, the publications that print "news" are seldom objective. We see quotes from "the Guardian" and "Observer" all the time. And we don't have to read them to know what the slant on the story will be. Traderfut, Wild, Fairplay, all the great cut and paste...

OK, what is more likely? Bowling a 300 or getting a hole in one? There ya go! Take the ball and run with it:)

The name of this thread should be changed...too similar to the other "repercussions" thread. Dark, what were you thinking? (Devious? or Careless?) Peace, :)rs7

In truth, I honestly believe that what we often hear referred to as "hatred' felt towards the US is really "envy". It is a natural human reaction to find fault with those we are envious of of. So while so much of the third world (and yes, much of Europe too) verbally assaults us in their...

Just noticed that Wild is lurking on ET as of this very moment. So much the "banishment" theory. (and informant "x")

No.....while Larry David, and many others have contributed some fine humor lately, the really funny stuff, (along with the finest cuisine) comes from the Brits. Mmmmmmmmm shepherd's pie with a side of boiled mutton, and warm beer! A Homer Simpson dream meal. Of course, America being a...

All time FUNNIEST thing I have read on ET!!!!!! Award winning!!! :) :) :) :) :) Peace, :)rs7

we all have our aspirations. we just can't all live up to them. we can only try:) Peace, Dark, :)rs7
