    My roommate asked me where the hole in the floor was

    its nice to chuckle at these stories but not nice to degrade other people. i think sometimes people (either the OP or other posters) ridicule people of different cultures by portraying them as ignorant. to all the haters out there - dont act so shocked that people do things differently; its...

    Is there not a thread about the Quran/Koran protests yet?

    i agree with you, and i think political discussion, comparisons and critiques are nice, but when speaking seriously one should show a little restraint and not make hateful blanket statements.

    Is there not a thread about the Quran/Koran protests yet?

    it is a free country an all with freedom of speech, but i cannot believe that you can write such hateful words without the moderators or posters objecting. as is mentioned in this thread there was a time that muslims preserved and forwarded science and there is a time in which they have not...

    Who here married out of their culture?

    boze: i agree with you in putting the family in the place where they belong. but in your case, if you are a white southern guy and your gf is a black girl or black southern girl, you are dealing with two americans of different colors and is only a minor clash of colors and probably not too...

    if you were drafted what would you do?

    if saddam had WMD he would have used them on the army that was about to take over his country. there are no circumstances more dire than that and if even under those circumstances he would not use his WMD, then he and his WMD are were not a threat. that is prima facie evidence that he was not...

    Law School Application question (admission index)

    the index helps in determining relative weights placed upon your gpa and lsat in determining admission. by inserting your #'s say a 165 and 3.3, you can find that you have a higher (or lower) composite score than a friend who has a lower lsat 160 and higher gpa 3.7 - does that make any sense or...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    hi, 1. IIRC, it was that he would contribute money to the family of suicide bombers after the suicide bombers because the breadwinner is dead. 2. that's not financially supporting terrorism. if you deem all Palestinian suicide bombers terrorists, then at most it is encouraging terrorism after...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    hello, I believe what was stated above stems from a serious misunderstanding (or lack of understanding) of the dynamic between Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, and authoritarian government in the M E. If Iraq is a playground of Islamic political fundamentalism, it has only been opened up by...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    kk, it doesnt make sense to cite UN resolutions when they somehow favor our decision to go to war but then ignore the UN when they say that we shouldnt go to war. the purpose of the UN in the first place is to achieve collective security by each country forfeiting a little bit of its...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    its probably like CD that matures in 3 years, not a 6 month one. from what i understand, the oil market there will probably be cornered off the same way that our country is cornering of the reconstruction business contracts. capitalism will be routed by politics/military. among the big powers...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    i'd be interested to read where Bush or anybody gives concrete evidence that Saddam supports al-qaeda and terrorism financially. IIRC, Bush didnt prove or give strong evidence of it. And yes, without concrete evidence we SHOULD be skeptical. (still no signs of WMD) despite Bush, Powell and...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    somehow i dont think we're gonna catch osama. terrorist he is. but i would guess that hes not a coward like saddam. if he really believes in his cause, i would guess that he figured that he's worth more permanently MIA than being captured by US. if he figured that and is strategic he would have...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    we went to war because he had a nuclear program that threatened INTERNATIONAL security. you're right; he is a dictator that mass murderered thousands of people in his country. finding a dictator who murdered thousands of his own people could never be the STATED or REAL dispositive reason for...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    rbloedow, thats my exact point though. if he's the only one that can prove (with concrete enough evidence) that he did something that justifies our toppling of his government and country, then isnt it the case that we've done all of thus without any concrete evidence? that's like gutting a man...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    i dunno if u were kidding bout this... if anything it would go to an iraqi that gave the intel. just had to comment, cause one of my law finals covered something not exactly like this, but parallel to this. in Contract theory under common law, carrying out a pre-existing duty is not valid...

    Saddam Captured in Tikrit Iraq!!

    theyve been brainwashed into thinking that our country is occupying theirs - not with the priority of goodwill - but out of the economic incentive gained from controlling their economy and where their oil is headed. they sure do need to get a grip on reality!! now that saddam is captured, if...
