the answer can be found in history. from an latimes.com article on athens' sicily invasion: Occupying Sicily would require many soldiers, Nicias insisted, because it meant establishing a new government among enemies. " Those who do this [must] either become masters of the country on the very first day they la

to Dr. Guy or to people who don't want a hike to the minimum wage: do you propose eliminating the minimum wage? that would let market forces force wages back to their "real" level. if you don't, please explain why people should be forced to pay the 'closer to a living wage but not really' when you so artfully showed enforced wage levels are bad.

Saw it on C-SPAN, split screen the whole way. Was it like that on the other channels? Kerry did well. As mentioned above, Bush drained two or three glasses of water. Kerry, one sip I think. They had different glasses for some reason. Bush had a normal looking one, Kerry had a fancier one with a stem. Kerry made Bush chuckle once, Bush made Kerry

if you really want to make a one vote difference, find someone honest who plans to vote opposite of you and ask nicely for him/her to not vote. that way the person gets to avoid a trip to the polling station and you get your vote to count in a manner of speaking. per usual, if you're going for a third party, you're screwed.

well, the thing is in a batteground state your vote is worth more in electing a president. in a safe red or blue state, you have more freedom to vote your conscience without altering the election. the lesser of two evils is a valid argument, you just disagree with it. for example, take people who voted nader instead of gore because they wanted stronger environmental laws. the problem is that since bush won environmental laws were weakened. the

A repost of my critique of a BS email posted on another forum. Although it was just a summary of all the false accusations leveled against Kerry and that I often rebutted before and had numerous sources, it was so long and took so much effort to list and prove them false or unimportant, I decided it was worth reposting here. The email was a job applicati

name the bush bills with his name on them. if it doesn't have his name i guess it doesn't count as his stuff right? i don't have a picture of kerry that you describe. make an article if it interests you so much. also, you do know that kerry and another captain protested to his superior officers that the swift boat runs were dangerous and stupid, right? the guy he protest

draginol, you tore into fahrenheit 9/11 for misleading statements, but now you feature an article full of misleading statements. the link you posted to snopes shows he won a bronze and medal star for major heroism in combat like puling a guy out of the water while bleeding and in great pain* yet you have to post stuff like "what service" and that the valor noise is based on so little. citation: "Lieutenant (junior grade) Kerry di

A critique of an article by Draginol. Overwhelmingly, they reject him. Described variously as a glory hound, he apparently took a home movie camera with him in which he reinacted various events in front of the camera in an effort to glorify what he did. You do know that

i once read a book review that explained that a lot of poorer midwestern/southerners don't vote democratic even though a lot of leftist programs/policies would benefit them because in essence "the democrats look down on them so if they won't get their respect then the democrats won't get their vote". i feel the same thing happens with african american voters, except that african americans won't even benefit from the republicans that much.

ok, you're right, next time, i'll explain it out in full detail instead of assuming that the quotes i bolded were obvious and self-explanatory. also, i tend to post long replies in comments because i am used to normal forums where i don't start threads that often, but often make long replies. shadowwar: yes, i knew it was about kosovo. my point was to highlight some comments during that conflict that were just as bad as what you said kennedy s

pseudosoldier: "russellmz2 - You do have your own blog to post that sort of thing, y'know." and this blog has a comments section to post that sort of thing. if the author truly believes his article, doesn't that mean he should be calling those republicans names for voicing dissent, too? i am not calling the republicans in the article traitors. i firmly believe they are not traitors and merely voicing their opinion. but i do want to s
