I never spoke of such a love that didn't serve oneself at all. Although, in the case where a love requires giving up one's own life -- a concept entirely foreign to you, right? :) -- one's purposes wouldn't be served for very long. But there is a love that also serves others, in addition to...

D Note that I'm not agreeing with most of your post here, but even if we accept it as true, why should humans have to take their cue from "the other animals"? Isn't our capacity to reason and to have genuine love and respect for our fellow humans, families, societies and countries --...

Well, aren't people's feelings that such wanton killing is wrong also 'natural'? Wouldn't 'nature running its course' then mean that humans who feel the same way -- which is the vast majority of mankind -- band together and formulate laws and standards to prevent such killing? If not, why...

Geezus, how quickly did this thread explode. Man, I hate having to read 30-pagers like that. Tpoki, I was with you there for a while; you do make some soundly logical points. I couldn't disagree more with the above, however. In fact, I have a hard time believing that you even feel this...

There was a thread on here about Israel/Palestine last year, near the start of the Iraq War, in which I was heavily critical of Israel. Since then, I have read quite a lot the conflict there and I would like to reaffirm my position that the Israelis are a pack of dogs. Nah, just...

Lol, ridiculous, isn't it? I remember watching a Brit cop drama called "The Bill" and wondering where these guys kept their guns. Then I found out they don't even carry them. How long has this been the case for, and didn't the Thatcherites want to do something about it?

Should we read that as, "my trading is sucking and here, I think, is why"? :) I've got to get shed of this board again due to pressing time and energy commitments, but thought I'd throw out one last observation + potential food for thought first.. You mean... you're... you're... you're...

I'm interested in how the market reacts to this news in the coming week or two. While I'm expecting a rally on this, could it be time to 'sell the news' with respect to Iraq; ie, capturing Saddam bringing 'closure' to the whole 'Iraq rally'? (Of course, Saddam's capture is much symbolic...

Shorts at 10k are going to get wiped out.

Jem, I think you're over-reacting a bit. It's not as though now that it is possible to say it on TV that all of a sudden it's going to start popping up EVERYWHERE, like on 'Friends'! (Lol!) I think on a cop/lawyer show it would add a great deal of realism; I mean, as if they don't swear on the...

Kinda like Gordon Gekko (the 'real' one) shorting NASA after the Challenger explosion?

Go long magnet manufacturers!

But Gekko, you're forgetting that (some; actually, a lot) people liked Elvis. Who the hell (honestly) enjoys your juvenile attempts at 'in your face' 'tude? It's not like you've actually espoused any original positions. The stuff you talk about is well known, and is hardly 'censored'...

I already commented on prop 187 on a previous post. Prop 187 has encouraged illegals to now stay in CA where they use to just migrate back and forth thereby perpetuating the existing problem. [/B] But whose fault is that? The purpose of prop 187 (as far as I understand it) was California...

Close your mouth Max, you're drooling.

Well, why would racial profiling ever need to end? Obviously you see some problem with it. Thankfully you're not the one making decisions about crime prevention. Same thing with profiling Arabs. When, today, Arabs and Muslims in general have a virtual monopoly on terrorism, what sense...

Well, that's just your guess. Which, I take it, isn't born out by actual results. So, at least if you're white you've got a shot at getting the job. If you're black, it appears, forget it -- no matter how good you look. Also, I don't think being discriminated against because of ugliness...

Come on Error, you're better than that. I haven't read the speech, but obviously it would've been something like, "These terrorists are trying to destroy everything we're working towards in Iraq and they need to be stopped ASAP. The vast majority of Iraqis want to live in a peaceful, free...

A fair point. I would say it's a little different, though. I'm guessing that 'BET' is some radio or tv station? If so, I think it's highly unlikely that they had an ad in the paper for it, where thousands of people turn up to fill hundreds of positions. In the radio/tv case, it's just...

Well, okay Mav. I'm not an "ACLU liberal", but I'll speak up. As AAA pointed out, rejection of an otherwise qualified candidate based on their 'look', when 'look' refers to racial characteristics, is the very definition of discrimination. So, legally, if they have been going around...
