QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) Mutually Assured Destruction was not considered a viable policy option regarding the Soviet Union until the Cuban Missile Crisis had passed. Japan did directly attack the United States and provided the impetus to finally push the United States directly into World War II. Although mass scale invasion of the United States was never an option for either power, the Germans certainly had the technology to create serious issues for the US across its eastern coast. What technology was this? They tried for 4 years to attack the US homeland with no success at all. As close as they ever came was that comical attempt to land saboteurs on Long Island. Their "America bomber" program was an utter failure. Their ballistic missile technology ( V1 / V2 ) programs were able to hit England a few times but it was still in its infancy even as allied armies crushed the Nazis.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 01:13 PM) Or, to take an opposing view, it might reaffirm that the people in the President's office are still the best in the business when it comes to hiding bodies. Clinton was better. *cough* Vince Foster *cough*

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 13, 2006 -> 06:00 AM) And unborn fetus and full grown woman are too way different things. I wonder what evil monkey's take on abortion is consider he complains about people on welfare in his signature I can answer that one for you. Don't concieve children that you can't afford to raise. Thats common sense talking but then personal responsibility is about the only cuss phrase a liberal knows.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) I was just making a suggestion of using the spell check that's all I already posted my feelings on this issue earlier. While I don't support it, I also do not believe the government has the business of telling someone who they can and can not marry. Fair enough. I just wanted to say that pointing out ones spelling/grammar mistakes seems rather petty in this context.

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) Well, the debate on when human life begins is an on going one. The arguements are old and the talking points on both sides are known to all. I don't feel like rehashing them here. I don't believe a month old fetus is human life, obviously you do. Niether of us will change the others opinion. Fair enough. One thing we can agree on is this debate is a really interesting one. Both sides have pretty good arguments to back themselves up. I guess now it all comes down to what the courts rule.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 06:25 PM) So, Here's an update on that Truthout.org "Karl Rove to be indicted" article from a month ago. Now the author is saying that the day Fitzgerald met with the Grand Jury, an indictment was returned, but it has remained sealed for a month, with the parties remaining unnamed. He's saying the indictmment is currently read as "Sealed v. Sealed". So, if the original article was taken with a grain of salt, this one should probably be taken with one of those water softener salt blocks. LOL! Nothing needs to be added to that........you've said it all.

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) I agree. But any extension of privacy should reasonably include one's own body, no? If you were talking about getting a tattoo or a piercing I would agree but we are talking about another human life here.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) Not to be picky but there are many spelling error's I counted 4 in there plus I don't think you spelled your own Governor's name right. It is kind of hard to take your posts seriously when there is so many spelling and other error's in it. Its also kind of hard to take someone seriously when you choose to focus on spelling mistakes rather than the substance of his argument. :rolly

QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) The question is does the right to privacy that the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled exists in the Consitutution apply to a woman and her body? How can a right to privacy NOT include one's own body? By that logic you could murder your spouse in the "privacy" of your own home and say that was protected under the Constitution. You have to find where to draw the line.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 04:22 PM) WHo gave the school a worse name? The athletes who probably excelled in sports and school, or the whiny senior who decided to take it upon himself to embarass the school through his graduation speech? Any school that allows such nonsense to go on in its halls deserves to be embarrassed.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) Well that's a whole other can of worms, mr_genius. Legislating marriage is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. Hey Republicans, I thought you were supposed to leave that sort of thing to the states? Isn't that how it works? State after state is banning gay marriage. That doesn't sit very well with the left though so they whine about that as well.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) First of all, I think you're completely wrong in saying that America has never faced a greater threat than it does now. Do you seriously think that a few people capable of detonating bombs in department stores is as big of a threat as a nation that was armed with 20,000 nuclear warheads, most of them pointed directly at us? Or against a nation that believed so strongly in its own racial superiority that it tried to enslave the rest of the world and killed millions? Or against a military machine that was able to overrun almost the entire western Pacific in 6 months? Even if Bin Laden was able to do everything he wanted to do, and even got his hands on a nuclear bomb, this nation would survive even if we did nothing. It wouldn't be smart obviously, but there is simply no way that this is the greatest threat America has ever faced. I really do believe that it is. If Al Quada is able to start a campaign of random bombings here in the U.S. they have the ability to really do some nasty economic and pshycological damage to us. The pussified American population would immediately go into their shell and the economy would go in the s***ter. Even the big bad Soviet Union and all its nukes would never have been so foolish as to attack us. Mutual Assured Destruction was a stabilizing force that kept world order for 50 years. Much as I hate to say it, we're probably better off with the commies still in power over there. The Nazi's and the Japanese, for all their might, never had the capability to attack the U.S. directly. Additionally, the population of the U.S. was unified behind the cause. That is not the case now. Al Quada preys on fear and indescision and thats America's achilles heel right now, right alongside the addiction to oil. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) Secondly, with your 2nd paragraph, you illustrate one of the greatest tragedies of 9/11, the failure of the U.S. to use it as motivation to actually gear the people of this nation up to fight the war on Al Qaeda. What were we, the average American, asked to do after 9/11? Shop. That is the only thing that we were ever asked to do after 9/11. We weren't asked to enlist, we weren't asked to cut back on driving, we weren't even asked to sacrifice. The unity and determination that this country had in those weeks and months was used to get us to invade Iraq. Even if that war had to happen, then there was still a great opportunity for a real leader to use that disaster to unify Americans to make this nation a better place. Instead, we were asked to shop, and within a few years, the opportunity was gone. Would actually asking Americans to sacrifice, to either enlist, or to conserve, or to cut back on driving & turn off their lights, actually worked? Personally I think it would have to some degree, especially if it was teamed with education programs designed to help people. But we'll never know. What Bush asked of Americans after 9-11 was to simply get things back to normal. Since then Bush has asked many times for us to try to conserve energy and his requests have been ignored. If he had asked young people to join the armed forces, people on your side would pillory him for asking for fresh bodies to send to Iraq. The word sacrifice is no longer in the American lexicon. You mention it to them and they immediately start whining and complaining.......like the little spoiled b****es that they are. The best thing to do at this point is to ask most people to just stay the hell out of the way and let the dedicated 10% take care of business.
