Hi Baron, It would be useful that when a thread has been started by someone on one's Ignore List that the thread itself doesn't even appear as a topic in the various lists on Forum. That'd be my first choice. Another perhaps more generally acceptable alternative might be to include (in...

Oddly enough I used one of these for the first time last night at a new grocery store in my neighborhood that I'd decided to visit to see if I'd like shopping there. I scrupulously followed the prompts and, other than the first few scan attempts to learn how to orient the items correctly...

No human organism, of any faith and especially children, reacts with pleasure to this. To suggest otherwise is despicable. You are on my Ignore List.

Revealing a private message in a public forum when both parties have equal access to the public and private forums and understand the difference between the two is not rape. What's your point?

Revealing in public (not just to Baron) what is clearly designed to be a private communication via PM is a moral breach. Waggie is now on my Ignore List.

The Palestinian Choice There will be no peace in the Middle East unless freedom becomes the Palestinians' guiding philosophy By Edwin A. Locke The toll of violence in the Middle East is a tragedy. The whole world, including President Bush, is pressuring Israel once again to...

Released: November 20, 2001 Who Is the More Dangerous Enemy? The Terrorists—Or Our College Professors? By Edwin A. Locke America, it is said, is faced with a new kind of war—a type of war that we have never faced in our history—a war of terror in which the enemy is hidden and...

This correctly focuses on the essentials. It is also why (despite my having to weed through second-handed quotes by him via others' replies) I had the poster that darkhorse responded to on ignore within a few days of my first encounter with him. But I'll say again, to cast both sides as...

It's a good point and I'm with you. This is just the latest example of a horrid trend I've noticed on ET lately and which I think Baron would be wise to address sooner rather than later. That trend includes, among other idiocies, references to the President of the United States as "the little...

bungrider, mytwocents, Thanks for the tip. :)

Yeah, but too bad it's pink. :D And the only reason he sees it is because he's drunk on wanting power (like all the rest). :p

That's a reasonable point, AAA. Indeed he is a professional politician. I see that my thesis would have been tighter had I included a mention of it immediately after the opening paragraph. Thank you very much!

Certain questions are designed to elicit only harm; they are formulated not with the facade purpose of gaining useful information but rather to trap the answerer in a no-win. "Do you still beat your wife?" is an obvious example. The hidden premise contained in it is that one has at some point...

Well written.

ROFL :D

Yeah, the closest I could find of what it looks like to put a live human being into a wood chipper was an oblique reference in the movie "Fargo." I guess those kinds of pictures are harder to come by. Speaking only for myself, and as it pertains to this thread and its agenda, I certainly...

That was fun. It's a clever implementation of a command processor. Parses simple strings and invokes canned recordings. You can detect slight image alignment changes from time to time. It handles simple physical strings that won't disturb its essential environment. You can tell it jump on...

Be funny watching them try that with one of these.

I disagree. The mistake in equating the two is the same one made by those who label heroic the terrorists who blew up the Cole, Oklahoma City, or Flight 103, to name a few. In order to make objective moral judgments, one must step back from the tactics themselves and judge the moral basis for...
