where were the underwear and shoe bombers from? is anyone suggesting that blacks get profiled? oh that should go over well. there are a huge number of Black muslims in this country and the list is growing..sure.. just profile them and olive complected people...not whites though..cant wait for the outrage over that..good luck with that
Artful Dodger: hopefully not the Basque, or the Tamils, or davy koreshs friends, or FARC or the NLF and Tim MCveighs groups, incidently , where did the IRA get their ak's from? oh that would be Libya.. and what was the IRA doing in Columbia? and wait, A maoist group set off a Bomb in India?? ?
Übergeek 바둑이: How many did McCarthy execute? or send to the Gulag? oh.. did he ruin their careers? awww poor Hollywood. Again please answer, what is the ratio of defectors? how many got shot escaping into East Germany? I dare say one side ... was a heck of a lot worse than the other.Again.. how does eastern europe feel? During the Cold War NOBODY was good. are you serious??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
If you are trying to say that the cold war adversaries were the same and it wouldn't matter who came ahead, then there is nothing on this board but fraud and hypocrisy. Agree? Comrade?
Übergeek 바둑이: And the Human experiment repeats itself , again and again.But you didn't address the defector thing.. who was climbing the Berlin Wall to go EAST??????? or windsurfing into Havana from Marathon Key?/
Übergeek 바둑이: you got to remember though, Cuba made their choices also, there didn't have to be an embargo.They didn't have to get in bed with the U.S.S.R. yeah yeah the USA are mean,evil and bad. but that was the reality of the situation. Again, just like Berlin, not too many were defecting to Cuba and or the Warsaw pact. never heard of anyone(except maybe Vesco) boating to Havana. The Cold war ? no one won? I think Eastern Europe won, sure bad things happened on both sides, but would we even have Brainking if the cold war was still on?
Well who decides what is true? Should it be a democratic process? Maybe .. to solve all our disputes.. a democratic vote.. surely God would approve..after all.. we were made in His image.. I wonder what religion or belief would win??
Artful Dodger: so intolerance.. no gray areas.. its either my religion and how I see it or nothing. God loves me and hates you..I was raised Lutheran... no hope.. flesh and blood matters not..kill the unbeliever..wipe them out...God told me to. oh.. and as a reward.. we get their land and natural resources too just a higher form of primate are we?
Übergeek 바둑이: An excellent post... my God is better than yours..or you're not worshiping God the right way, our way is much better. or God likes us better.. he chose us.. he kinda likes you.. but he chose us because we're better.. organized religion...so much blood spilled over the ages, and still it continues
What is the majority religion in the world? if there was a vote which religion would win? maybe there's more than 1 God.. using us as pawns to fight their proxy battles
Jim Dandy: Of course you are right, Jews, Christians, Muslims all worship the same God, along with mostly the same prophets, Abraham had 3 wives, etc... organized religion..gotta love it nothing but blood and mass murder thru out the ages .
Tuesday: My goodness, you sure are very forgiving,He was raised by his Aunt and Uncle.. and he was college educated. He was a racist, bigot and probably bordered on what today is criminal activity. spreading hate and racial bias...condemn him for ever no... but elect him time and time again? Today he would be prosecuted. he came to his senses when he realized his views were not popular and wouldn't get him elected
Some sins aren't so easily "sorried": away. The Klan did a lot of damage especially when Byrd was a member AND recruiter.I'm not black and I never did a survey but to many blacks , slavery and the Klan are on par with Nazis, I would say its safe to say. How could Byrd undo or make up for his part? Same for Ted Kennedy, (for his own little episode at Chappaquiddick) sorry,but great men they are not
Here in the USA, gas prices rise even though demand is low.. the economy is still bad..and obama says..... huh what? it must be bush/cheney wanting their oil money
Don't even think that al qaida isn't smart enough to realize profiling tactics.. they will easily find Anglo Saxon recruits or black Americans .in fact wasn't that Christmas bomber black?
Tuesday:I agree. the days of zoos and circus should be over.. leave the animals alone.. like that orca incident recently.. they're called "KILLER WHALES''... let them swim in the ocean.. leave them be
