Here's an interesting side view... How did British view Americians rebels during the revolution war? Terrorism is only a matter of perspective...in a sense. I think. Well, the American rebels didn't exactly use terrorist like tactics. Guerilla tactics maybe, terrorist no. Atleast, I don't recall ev...

Except of course when they consider the country/system they're targeting to basically be criminal and all the civilians accessories before/after the fact. I'm sorry, from what information in that article did that opinion form from? At no time was the word "innocent" used when discussing a...

So if they're for your cause you call them vigilantes, and otherwise they're terrorists? How very appropriately hypocritical. Well, not exactly, but I can see why you would think that. See, the article gives no indication about whether or not the pople that they were holding were infact innocents o...

Hardly that surprising. If terrorists can get access to weapons and enough money to conduct activities, then so can other people. Just wait until some eccentric billionaire decides that his country isn't doing enough to protect the Nation, or feels that the country is hampered by international laws ...

I just graduated from highschool and I don't think I ever had any of these tests done by my school. Besides how does being over weight affect your school work? And speaking of over weight, how much isn too much? I'm 5'7" and weight 190lbs. According to my doctor I am about 40lbs over-weight. S...

What I hate most about school's is the way that they over step theire bounderies. Making it mandatory to be weighed and then to be sent home a report. If you want to give me tips on how to eat better fine, but I don't need you to tell me how over or under weight I am. I have a doctor you know he do...

So could poor people from the south sue the government and former slaves for ruining the southern economy and making them poor? After all, at the time the southern economy wsa incumbent upon slave labor (the only reason the north didn't still have slaves is because their economy had already converte...

Because it's the way many people try to work their way out of arguements, saying that one opinion is as good as another. This is false, if not from a moral view, then from a factual one. Most of the time. I never said that one opinion isn't as good as another. I said that opinions can't be wrong. I...

It becomes a circular arguement. To believe the bible to be 100% true, you have to have Faith in it and God. If you don't, then you won't ever believe the Bible to be completely true. Of course, since your opinion is that I'm wrong, I can't really refue that, since opinions can't technically be wron...

If you accept the Bible as 100% true, then you have no room for faith because you know God exists. If you accept the Bible as 100% false, then you have no room for faith because you know God does not exist. Either way, I'll see all of you in Hell. Except to believe the Bible 100% probably requires ...

The question is fallacious, though subtly so, and at first I couldn't get my mind around why. The question assumes the existence of Satan as described in the Bible, and therefore assumes the Bible is true. It then turns around and uses Satan to call the Bible into question. Which is ridiculous, bec...

Probably atleast power drill loud. Maybe powersaw. You can probably mask the sound on a crowded and busy street, but inside a quiet building, it will stand out, atleast I would think so.

Maybe those are the bodies that are easiest to get to, maybe some of them were so damaged by the explosion that they haven't been identified as such. Or perhaps simply North Korea hasn't had the chance/doesn't have the man power available to dig out so many bodies so quickly in the two days since it...

Reread your own article. It mentions only 50 bodies being recovered. Most reports put the death toll in the hundreds atleast. As for how did 1800 homes become destroyed and only 150 people dead, its possible that this happened at a time when most people weren't home, or, with North Korea's history o...

Probably easier to simply leave the gun off until needed. It shouldn't take too long to bring up to speed, and a minigun with non-moving barrels should be easier to carry and move around with. Imagine the sound if you caught the minigun on a corner or something with those moving barrels. Even slowed...

Have they not had this for smokers for years? Giving them their nicotine fix? Since I'm not a smoker I could be wrong but I always thought that was what and how they got it. So here they change from nicotine to some form of painkiller. Sure sounds great but is it really revolutionary? Well, I belie...

Only if you ignore most of their past actions/stances to suit your worldview. But then that's never stopped people before. :) Kind of like you ignoring past comments in the thread. As I mentioned earlier, the perception of this event and how it plays to the terrorists living in the caves is that th...

Ah, so the new leading spaniard is going to emulate France and assume the position to surrender, appease and in other words; get rolled by every petty tyrant and terrorist the world has to offer. The major problem with the "appeasement of terror" argument is that you're assuming the attac...

Of course, they aren't being charged with performing gay marriages, they're being charged with "Kay Greenleaf and Dawn Sangrey were charged with multiple counts of solemnizing a marriage without a license..." which is vastly different. They could be charged under the same statute if they d...

If they're drug addicts, why not simply lock them up? My response to that would be because people have the right to destroy their own lives if they want. What they don't have the right to do is destroy another's life, hence why I would not oppose mandatory semi-permanent birthcontrol for drug addic...

You're making the assumption that people that are crazy enough to blow up trains, and use suicide tactics are smart enough to look at this in the way above. Just because they're highly dedicated to their beliefs and willing to kill and commit suicide for them, that doesn't automatically make them s...

You're making one of two assumptions; either that the current ruling party, and it's rather, ehm, flamboyant prime-minister didn't have this stance on the war in Iraq before the attacks, or, if he did, that Spain's citizens were swayed to vote for the current ruling party because of the bombing. (A...

I suppose it could be reduced to the simple question. Is childbirth a right, or a privilage? I believe it's a right. I think that any biological function has to be considered a right. [Which doesn't mean you can perform any biological function anywhere you please, of course.] I also think that, in ...

Of coures, the easy way out of this is to remove the term marriage from the government. Make everything a civil union. Anyone can be part of a civil union. Marriages exist only in a religious context. If a heterosexual couple gets married in the Church of our Lord High Savior, the government doesn't...

Of course, I wonder what kind of strain would be placed on the infrastructure in order to make sure that the drug addicts are actually using the money on contraceptives instead of buying more drugs. Also, at last count, most forms of birth control are still not 100% successful...and even if they wer...

Aren't there laws in place for neighborhoods to be notified if there are convicted sex offenders living in the neighborhood, or is it still at the point where the information is out there, if you manage to comb through the redtape in order to find it? I would have also thought that part of the condi...

I don't even know how such a provision in a contract would be enforceable. I can't find a legal term for it, but as far as I know, there is no legal way they could enforce a provision saying you wouldn't declaw the cat. If you buy a car from someone, and he writes it into the contract that you can o...
