All Things Iraq, Except Nuke ;-)
QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 14, 2007 -> 01:11 PM) Ok, so let me see... this is a thread to and for Nuke (and not a catch all thread, like you called it) so we can ask him questions and he can respond - and you're posting a political advertisement in here? C'mon. You can move it. No problem, I'll start a new thread. What I ment was I was looking for a catch all Iraq thread, this one was the only one going.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 14, 2007 -> 09:13 AM) ^^^^ Tex, I'll leave this here, but I question whether it should be in this thread. I was wondering where to put it. Do we have another Iraq war thread started? I didn't like it here either.

All Things Iraq, Except Nuke ;-)
Dear VoteVets.org Supporter, Today, we are launching our second of three "Generals" ads. Last week, you made our historic ad featuring retired Major General John Batiste a smashing success. From when it launched on Wednesday, through the weekend, it was the talk of the news and discussion shows, and even featured in a Sunday New York Times story! Today, retired Major General Paul Eaton debuts in an ad, again taking on the false notion that the President listens to his commanders on the ground. See the ad here | Donate here Like General Batiste, General Eaton should know whether the President really listens to his commanders on the ground, or not. General Eaton recently retired from the US Army after more than 33 years service. His most recent operational assignment was Commanding General of the command charged with reestablishing Iraqi Security Forces from 2003-2004, where he built the command and established the structure and infrastructure for the Iraqi Armed Forces. Last week, President Bush kept maintaining that he bases his decisions on the war based on what he hears from commanders. Yet, for the second time in as many weeks, one of those commanders has decided to speak out and say it isn't so. The media is finally beginning to catch on - the President is not telling the truth. As General Eaton says in the ad, the President is being told we need more diplomacy in Iraq, not escalation - and the President is still not listening. We're taking that message into the states and districts of Senators Susan Collins and John Warner and Representatives Mary Bono, Mike Castle, Phil English, Jo Ann Emerson, Tim Johnson (IL), and Heather Wilson, Donate to keep these ads going here Do not doubt for a second that you are making a difference. Right after our ads began airing, four Congressional targets of the ads went to the White House as part of the "Gang of Eleven," who told the President that they are prepared to break with his failed strategy and start supporting the troops. With more pressure, even more Senators and Congressmen will do the same. Tomorrow, we're going to announce something that will rock the political world. I can't tell you what that is, yet, but check your email tomorrow morning to find out the bold move we're going to make with the help of your generous donations. It's going to be big. Thank you for all of your help in the last week. You are changing the very nature of this debate. Keep it going! Help VoteVets.org now! Thank you for supporting the Voice of America's 21st Century Patriots! Sincerely, Jon Soltz Iraq War Veteran Chairman and Co-Founder, VoteVets.org

And we welcome Cubans with open arms. Just wondering about other areas, how many retail shops, dry cleaners, etc. are owned by immigrants where you live? While it is easy to take a shot at immigrants just wanting to sponge off the taxpayers, I see a lot working their asses off starting businesses here.

Cinco de Mayo stereotype party
How about a reason that conservatives should appreciate? This is an official student group, and I believe is the key difference. This official student group agrees as part of it's recognition, to certain standards of behavior. In exchange, the University benefits because part of a great college experience are many of these groups. When these groups behave in this way, it alienates customers for the University. What business would have sponsored and tolerated this? It's just good business for the University to take appropriate actions. BTW, great post SS. There is a long way to go.

There is a lot to be said for Trade, not Aid. Plus, we start putting a McDonalds on every corner, and Castro starts liking that McMuffin in the morning and a Big Mac in the afternoon, biggie sized of course, and he's finally gone from there.

Cinco de Mayo stereotype party
QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 13, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) I agree with Nuke on this. The liberal media takes anything that happens that could possibly be against a certain group of people and makes it a huge s***storm. Its to the point where certain groups are given special protection from any criticism towards them but when something happens toward the so-called "majority" (which in reality is now becoming the minority), nothing is done. IMO its bulls*** and the liberal media is to blame for a lot of the crap news stories that now come out that claim "discrimination" is going on. So wearing a s*** -n- Span t-shirt with Hispanic names, was criticism? What did the Hispanic community do that required this criticism?

We trade with so many countries with terrible track records against the US, their human rights records suck. Perhaps it's time to drop the embargo.

A conservatives' dream professor. He (no feminazis) walks into a classroom, looks around and says, "hey s*** and Span Cleaners are here. Get out of those desks and start cleaning the windows!" All the students laugh, the Hispanic's take the joke, because that's funny stuff. You are right b****, it is an exclusively liberal trait to respect people and not use racial stereotypes. What whiny asses liberals are.

That is one of the better excuses I've ever heard. Maybe he did have a dead hearing aid battery. Vintage Reagan

QUOTE(NUKE @ May 13, 2007 -> 01:56 AM) Everything I've read about Cuba's medical institutions tells me that they have a great many quality doctors. Hooray for them. Those same readings tell me that their standard of living is light years behind ours. Thank you fatass Michael Moore but I'll stay put right here in the good ol USA. Exactly, like we could ever learn anything from Cuba. We are the only smart people on the planet. We never should look at anything developed in some Commie third world country.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:31 PM) It's not as if the school is giving these kids money to throw a racist party. Why hold them to a higher standard? Because they're smart kids and they should know better? Does that it make it more right or more wrong? I'm in agreement with Nuke here. I just wish minorities would learn to give it back. Society gets along better when we can all laugh at each other. Someone (cough*liberals in academia*cough) created a nation of whiney This post has been edited by the Soxtalk staff to remove objectionable material. Soxtalk encourages a free discussion between its members, but does not allow personal attacks, threats, graphic sexual material, nudity, or any other materials judged offensive by the Administrators and Moderators. Thank you. that are offended at everything. And as I always point out in these types of discussions, if you look hard enough, you'll find offensive speech in everything. Funny how 90% of successful television sitcoms revolve around making fun of men, showcasing them as morons who couldn't walk straight if it weren't for their wives. Isn't this offensive to every man in the nation? Shouldn't we be boycotting these networks for their offensive speech? I'm calling my Congressperson. Most schools provide office space and logistical support for most student groups. In some areas the student groups are considered an extension of the University. I can see a difference between friends getting together and having a beer and an officially recognized student group throwing a party. I am certain that every student at that University now feels welcome to join that club, and I am certain that there are some University employees that appreciate their employer allowing them to be the object of ridicule. I love the world of conservatives you can walk around saying hey you nappy haired ho! Go back to Mexico you wet back ! Back of the bus, monkey. I'm just a stupid pollack! Whoo Whoo we're all getting along because we can insult anyone. You guys know how to party

Illinois Smoking Ban Passes House
QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 12, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) actually, you will still be able to smoke at 'cigar' bars and 'tobacco' bars, you can't ban all a certain race from any establishment. so the analogy doesn't exactly hold, but i understand your point. ok, they are owned by the public because of that definition. happy? Hookah bars are already exempt, as well they should be. I would also hope they will revisit the ban if and when technology produces cigarettes with lower emission (can't think of a better word) or produces a better "smoke eater".

Does anyone disagree that a school sponsored group should be held to a higher standard than a group of friends getting together? That to me makes all the difference, especially if they are supported in any way by student activity fees.
