Leave him alone. It's rude to intrude on someone else's dreams.

What does "maximum" mean? Here is the list of age of consent of various states: http://www.actwin.com/eatonohio/gay/consent.htm In Louisiana, where the page was from, the age of consent is 17.

How many of those who signed the contract kept their words? If it were a real "contract," I'm sure the other side would be demanding refunds by now. And in what regard is Foley a Democrat? So do you think the Fox depiction of "Foley (D-FL)" was accurate?

They think this is clever - defending a pedophile while at the same time doing some gay-bashing. Do you think that most people would be so ignorant that they don't know the difference between a gay and a pedophile? Wait, they are...

This is weird. The left and the right are all on their respective "wrong" sides in this thread. The phrase "thought crime" in the 1st post should have been a dead give away. The left should be screaming "fascism" while the right should be shouting "national security!" I guess when the...

Was the Crusades linked to a popular interpretation of a major religion? Are we in a grammar school here? Geez. Technically, although "was the motive for the Crusades linked to a popular interpretation of a major religion" is grammatically correct, you can still counter by saying that...

That's a bit unfair. The crazy guy was not an amish.

Don't know what your point is. Are you picking on me for not using the plural form "the Crusades?" Or are you hinting at something else that I cannot decipher? Do you believe that there is an "interpretation" of the Bible that tells you what war ought to be?

Was the Crusade linked to a popular interpretation of a major religion? Every religion can be interpreted in different ways. The problem is not with the religion, but with the people doing the interpretation.

I agree with your point that our Taiwan policy has so far been a success (if that's the point that you're making). However, my original point was that the step Nixon took to make up with the communist China which effectively sold out Taiwan (booting them out of the UN, breaking diplomatic...

http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/editorial/15690350.htm Victims' families showed the best part of humanity By Steven Gimbel The Amish school shootings in Lancaster County are a tragedy beyond words. As a teacher of ethics, I often find it difficult to face students' questions about...

Who said it was a mistake? Here is the original text in the Shanghai Communique (emphasis mine): Although quoted out of context it gives some wiggle room (we "acknowledged" but didn't endorse). But reading the whole text it was a clear acceptance of the one-China policy. Furthermore, this...

Here is an excerpt from the 1972 Republican Platform: The Republicans then seemed to eager to claim credit for cut and run from Vietnam.

So Kissinger was negotiating with the North Vietnam on behalf of the Congress? Get real! The official US position since Nixon has been that Taiwan is part of China. That's why Taiwan was booted out of the UN, and many other world organizations. Imagine having Taiwan, instead of Red China...

I've seen this picture floating around the internet for a long time. Also seen the similar one with Clinton. I bet both were photoshoped. Pretty funny though. :D

I remember back in the old days the Republicans appeal was anti-communism, and the Democrats were always accused of being communist sympathizers. But look at their actions. Kennedy invaded Cuba (and failed), Johnson escalated the Vietnam war (and failed). Nixon cut and run from Vietnam, and...

What you think are lies, I see as facts, and vice versa. You can predict what I'll say so I'll save both of us some time. Allen is an unabashed racist. The "n" word itself is no big deal. But it reflects a pattern. Look at this meeting between him and other racists when he was a governor 10...

FYI, Ashcroft is the boss of the FBI. Didn't you just say that FBI was working on 70 cases related to Bin Laden before 9/11? Now you're telling us they have little to do with terror prevention? Wasn't Moussaui arrested by the FBI? Talk about being uninformed! I think you should stop here...

Gore was in Vietnam. Where was George?

Thank you for the polite language. Perhaps you read too fast and skipped a paragraph or two. Or perhaps you're having reading difficulties. Did you see the line "the lower parts of the government were doing their jobs?" I said that Bush, Rice, and Ashcroft did nothing. Unless one of them...
