    Man buys Hummer, Eco-terrorists wreck it

    Well, considering that civilian bears the cost of gas, maintenance, etc, I don't think that someone's decision to drive an overpriced, gas-guzzling SUV that will see more pavement than dirt....should be stood and examined before the general bar of reason. That person is not required justify his...

    Hey, Al-Qaida-BRING IT ON!

    Of course. That makes complete sense. Because radical Islamic fundamentalism only rose from the shadow dimensions when Dubya got into office. What claptrap. Historically, Islamic fundamentalism has been a major problem for the West since the 70s. Carter failed to deal with Iran. Mark Steyn made...

    What is the best value SLR on the cuurent market ?

    I'm a fan of the Nikon D40. It does practically everything that the D80 does (similar metering, etc.). The D200 is a huge step forward. Awesome camera if you care less about portability. But the Pentax K100D is a great choice. :)

    AIPAC - Why it's dangerous and outdated

    Last I checked, Israel is on the receiving end of plenty of criticism in the US, from both the right and the left, Jewish and Christian. I happen to be from NYC, and Israel is both lauded and criticized; it just depends on what you read. For instance, the Wall Street Journal and NY Sun editorial...

    Is there a peaceful religion?

    I find Judaism to be a most peaceful religion, both currently and historically. And in case someone finds it relevant, I am Jewish. :D Of course, when we consider religions, are we limiting ourselves to monotheistic religions, with the concept of a heavenly and eternal G-d? Because if we are...
