I believe you got this one backwards. Under Saddam women not only were allowed to show ankles and legs. they were also allowed to show arms and shoulders. They were allowed to attend universities, be doctors, and even Baath party officials. Of course they didn't get to vote for real. Neither...

You got your geography wrong. There is no "California, Mexico." I'm guessing that you are refering to Mexifornia.

Good quote of a reader's comment: "Maybe good for Dems for the upcoming election, but I'd rather not have my country damaged by 6 more months of pure idiocy, thanks."

I cannot see your point. I have every right to believe or disbelieve a news story and express my opinion. So do you. But you do not have the right to question my integrity or patriotism unless your intention is to disrupt discussion in this thread. Can you see the difference? Don't tell me that...

There. This is what I call sensible discussion - only opinions but no redirecting of the questions to poster's personal character ("dissappointed" at not having more outrage for another murder, etc). Murtha is a public figure so trashing him is a political opinion.

When I expressed outrage at a murder that was reported in press, I was told that: 1. The press was not to be believed. 2. Unless I had expressed equal or greater outrage to an earlier murder, I had no right to be outraged now. 3. I should focus my youthful energy on what is happening in...

Are you suggesting that we should pull all of our troops back home and have them work on the gang problems here in the states? Why don't you make that suggestion to your friend W?

No, I didn't. Why does it matter? Do you question that the story is true? It seems that you do. And by the way, do you believe that OJ is guilty? Be honest. Christians are not supposed to lie.

What's your point? That my prejudice and bias justify the murders by the marines? Or the murders by the terrorists justify the murders by the marines? Or that "Iraqi muslims" are our enemies so they are not to be believed?

I thought that this kind of thing could only happen in a communist country.

Where is your stop?

We don't know their thinking in the decisions. We do know Qwest's thinking. Just because the other three companies went along with it doesn't necessarily mean that they thought it was legal. At least we know that Qwest didn't think it was legal - therefore it was not a clear-cut lawful thing as...

If it is so certainly lawful, why would Qwest refuse to cooporate based on the belief that this may be illegal? Do you think that you are smarter than the Qwest lawyers? (I'm sure that you do).
