Avidaloca, that seems misleading to me.

If it is already predetermined who will find truth, then all this bickering is a waste of time and energy. Your waste of time and energy has been predetermined. If you choose to leave and save your energy for better things like............(crickets chirping)...........well, that'll have been predet...

People will come up with anything to get their names in the books. "Professor Dickshlager proved Jesus never performed a miracle!"

The truth is no one knows for sure...lets drop it.

I also think Kelly's posts are too hard to understand. The way she forms sentences is confusing. Sometimes it even seems that she strays from the point. What the http://www.xnxx.com site seems to be about is fetishes. Even porn such as "softcore" is a fetish. Basically, all porn is fetish....

I think elderly people shouldn't drive, as well as teenage women. Women should only be allowed to drive after they have a child.

Why are we talking about oil here? Isn't it obvious that America isn't taking the oil? It's been a few years now; I thought that idea died out a while ago. Why's it back?

OH yeah, by the way. I despise looking at fictional books to make points about society or philosophy. That's like quoting a stand up comic, and nagging me saying, "you see? you see?" I don't see. I don't see a reason to talk about George Orwell. Because some of what he said was timeless? I...

Wow you are simple. Does it not make sense that if you have an enemy who wants to kill you because of who you are (what you can't change) that you have to defend yourself? How can that not make sense? If you don't defend yourself, then you get killed and you're a moron, no matter how philosophical y...

Well if they're all the same in that country, then they might as well have directed the airplanes in the towers. I might as well do whatever I'd like to them, then. I don't believe they're all the same. I think there are people who want freedom and people who don't. Included in both categories are v...

First of all, don't call me lord like some kind of asshole. I don't think I'm your lord, we're just having a discussion. In these sensitive times, the US cannot afford to appear anti-Islamic. We must convince the world we are serious about embracing all muslim people, and that as friends and busines...

Leyla, this is getting boring. I said "War = Peace" and you somehow can't understand it. I'm not saying peace isn't peace, or war isn't just war. I'm saying war leads to peace against a relentless terrorist enemy. If you can't understand that, then I suggest you take more than one day to t...

There is not a draft yet. Males do have to sign up for the draft, in case one is re-instituted. Of course. I was just kind of making a statement to you - why are you talking about the draft? It seemed pretty stupid to me. There is very little middle class left in the US. The middle class has been e...

But if one country does, and invades other countries, it's no surprise that sovereign nations under the same threat will want it also. It's no suprise, you're right. There's also no reason to allow it. It seems that you think every country should be treated equal. I disagree. Ultimately though, Ira...

Marsha, you realize there actually isn't a draft...that there IS a middle class...that people will never be fully comfortable, even if you have those pleasant deluded memories of past presidencies. You think parents fear their son or daughter is fighting in Iraq for nothing? Perhaps that's your own ...

Thank you for your middle school mentality. Everyone is not equal. Some people shouldn't have such devastating weapons. No one should, in fact. Nuclear or biological weapons are not "defense", they're "erradication". Iran has weapons. It's not like they couldn't defend themselves...

Well thankfully no one believes me or cares.

Why? Because it seems insane, boring, stupid and pointless? I just say it because it's true. It's not some big deal. I'm just saying I understand the workings of reality.

So, what is your impression of the Iraqi military and police? Will they ready to take over, in the reasonably near future? Are they getting good training? I haven't seen them. I only hear briefings that they're ready and able. They do half, if not more of the work over there. Last I heard, a month ...

The cause of resisting western philosophies of life which destroy utterly their own ways of living. The cause of not becoming like hedonistic Americans. The cause of not advancing the whole of womankind far more quickly than benefits the whole of society. The cause of avoiding mistakes and disaster...

What do you think of the Iraqi military? There was a quick, vague blurb on CBS news last night that, from the point of view of the Iraqi citizens, the Iraqi military was "a hundred times worse" than the American military. I didn't know what to make of that. Well first of all, how can you ...

Scott, Leyla, The good old days that never left, the good old days when the country was always on the verge of civil war? I think, given your reasoning, you might have to rethink that. Is that the military before or after Saddam? After. Beforehand it was Saddam's military. If the country has always...

Scott, do you still think this Iraq adventure was a good idea? According to the Iraqi military, the war in Iraq was a good idea. They said the bombs were probably there and transported out. I mean, what were the empty buildings for? I won't argue that there were WMDs there. I don't know if they wer...

Indeed. Why would anyone consider in depth a person’s thoughts whose viewpoints in general appear to oppose their own? They wouldn’t, unless something about their own viewpoint started not making sense -- or, they considered other people's thoughts as having at least something to do with realit...

A sage is a sage. A female is a female. A male is a male. Males can become sages, females can't. A female could possibly become male. Sages aren't male or female in nature, although their bodies may be one or the other.

[sigh] Well, that makes two subjects that we don't agree on: Pink Floyd and politics. I will reply to your post if you really want me to, but I don't think you're really willing to open yourself up to my thoughts since you did not respond to what I consider to be the most salient point of my last p...
