In the world religions class I took a few years back, we had a Hebrew scholar come in. He told us that the turn the other cheek passage had nothing to do with pacifism or allowing yourself to be beaten. To strike someone with a backhand (which is demeaning), you have to hit the person on their right cheek. If they turn the other cheek, you can't use the backhand anymore and any subsequent strike would be admitting you as an equal.

That's a pretty loose translation there.

Almost everyone who takes these tests ends up as libertarian and somewhat liberal. "Would you like the government to have a camera in all the rooms of your house so they can record what you're doing 24/7?" 'no' "You're a libertarian!"

Point is: Kerry himself doesn't have more money than Bush and didn't live most of his life married to Teresa.

Correct. Bush has over 10x what Kerry does, not 7x. Kerry's low end: 700,000 Bush's low end: 9,000,000 Kerry's high end: 2,400,000 Bush's high end: 26,000,000

That Kirk Cameron site is HILARIOUS.

Her Ketchup empire? She owns 4% of the company. She has no say in management or production. Decisions to create factories overseas are not hers to make, not to mention that those factories are necessary because of the product itself, not because they're outsourcing American jobs. So she can whine about jobs moving overseas all she wants.

I saw this on Fox News. They brought in some British guy who was like "WHATEVA WHATEVA THIS NEWSPAPER IS WRITTEN BY COMMUNISTS AND NO ONE LIKES IT ANYWAYS". Some of the letters from Americans to Brits were pretty stupid; I'm surprised they showed them. "f*** OFF YOU PUSSIES...OH AND BRUSH YOUR GODDAMN TEETH!" k thx

If it's purely a religious institution, then the government doesn't need to be giving out benefits and priviledges for it.

Our taxes aren't going up. Money is free and you can spend as much as you want.

1) Not a flip-flop 2) Yes 3) Not 4) Not 5) Not 6) Kinda 7) Not 8) Not 9) Not 10) Not Well, 1.5/10 ain't bad.

GWB isn't responsible for Reagan, and no one says he is. When people bring up that we gave Saddam WMD, it's usually either a) a low blow jab to republicans in general, not Bush specifically (haw haw look what your party did done) or B) some kind of comment about f***ing around in the middle east to much and trying to install governments. Yes, because we were -largely- going it alone. If other countries had been supplying troops, then we wouldn't be overextended and needing extra divisions. But now that we are overextended, he wants to add 2 divisions. When he kept saying "we're supplying 90% of the troops and 90% of the cost", it was pretty obvious he thought other countries should be doing more than 10%. He doesn't think 200 billion had to be spent their just by us. But now that the mess has been made, more money will have to be spent.

It's both. What I got out of it was that he would have kept a much larger % of US troops in Afghanistan finishing that job. At the same time he would have tried to get significant international support (like, actual troops) in Iraq. If other countries were doing more in Iraq, we wouldn't have to do as much. I don't know WTF the 2 extra divisions thing was about, so I can't explain that, but if the international community was doing more of the work in Iraq, we wouldn't be spending as much. So basically: Now: Tons of Americans in Iraq, Tiny bit in Afghanistan, hardly any allies in either Kerry wanted: Some Americans in Iraq, some in Afghanistan, lots of allies in both (where: tiny bit This, of course, assumes that other countries even wanted to help or that John Kerry could have gotten them too. But, that might just make Kerry's position unrealistic, not inconsistant. So is John Kerry responsible for any actions of Clinton, Carter, FDR, and every other Democratic president?

Kerry +Lots of statistics and information - Kept repeating some of them to the point of being annoying ("90% troops, 90% cost" and "it will take 13 years under the Bush plan to get rid of this nuclear s***") + Decent attempt to explain flip-flopping + Explained his plans a little bit + Caught Bush after he said "we take out the people that attack us" in reference to Iraq Bush + Did a good job of getting the last word in by interrupting, though he didn't come across as being too rude + Mentioned flip-flopping - Did not seem to have anything to say other than about flip-flopping The Whole Thing --- Too repetitive. "You f***ed up." "You're a flip-flopper." "Yeah but you f***ed up." "At least I didn't change my opinion about f***ing up." - Couldn't talk to each other directly Despite having considerably more +s above, I think the debate was pretty even, giving the edge to Kerry. I doubt either one of them won over or lost many voters.
