[quote="Bjarni Herjolfsson";p="382221"]And what if terrorism does occur even if Israel does withdraw? It won't. I'm probably analyzing this like a lawyer, but there is no motive. They would not bother making up an excuse if there was no motive. What targets would there be anyway?...

Take the Department of Education out back and shoot it in the head. It spends massive amounts of money with no discernable benefit. That's approximately $60 billion.

[quote="StruckingFuggle";p="380187"]I saw someone (was it you, Deacon, or Martin? Maybe Sal...) ... argue that throwing money at a problem doesn't make it stop ... applying this argument to education, saying that a trimmed budget makes them need to cut off unnecessary fat... I'll...

I maintain that the only proper title for Episode III is The Fall of Anakin Skywalker.

Anyone interested in this is strongly encouraged to read Bias by Bernard Goldberg. It's a very interesting look at how pervasive bias is in the American TV news.

[quote="AlexanderBarca";p="370332"]Preposing the idea that this "traditional marraige" has been part of all society for "over 5000 years" is complete bunk as anyone who has studied even a lick of anthropology knows. A little less than 40 years ago, "tradi...

Re: Bush administration talks about postponing the election

This thread got exceedingly fucking stupid very very quickly. On topic: Guys, Edwards didn't get picked because he could win the South. Edwards couldn't get reelected to the Senate, let alone cut through the utterly liberal image that Kerry is running. He was added so that his blue-collar appeal cou...

[quote="Blind Pyr0";p="362262"]And how the hell did you see it? The first showing is tonight at 12:01 (unless you won one of those radio contests or something)[/quote]
