you left out the fact that the US had been arming for over 5 years in preparation for a possible war with japan, and that the primary catalyst for the japanese attack was economic sanctions the US imposed against japan, particularly the scrap iron and oil embargoes. in fact japan told the US...

ahh gotta love marathon posts! :) there was no "cover up" of saddam's atrocities...but at the same time they were not talked about much... and saddam was a trading partner mainly due to at the time we viewed iran as more of a threat than him, just as in ww2 we were trading partners(actualy...

it is as silly to argue about evolution as it is religion. it is 98% supposition and 2% fact based on "if" and "perhaps" and "we think" strife with factual errors that are perpetuated for the sake of dogma and it has it's extremists just as religion does.

BULL%#@! everyone knew! hell i knew! many small media outlets reported on what was going on in iraq everyday! there were a few on the left that to thier credit DID speak out, but as i have pointed out since europe and some UN fatcats were happy and making money of the deal it was all okay. for...

yes, been to downtown LA? ;)

i liked the den storyline :) that is true, 2 wrongs do not make a right, but it really is not about wrong or right, and many people do not understand this, it is about doing what is neccesary. no justification is needed as it is not really a moral question(that is by defualt) because when...

name one war since the geneva conventions were made where they were actually kept. for example in ww2 every single signatory to the geneva conventions broke them. it was common. it has been common in every single war. it always will be. why? there really is no nice way of killing people...

go hug a tree or something and you will feel better. mayhap there will be a strategically placed knothole. either way you can hear the birdies sing. just smile and have a sense of humor there stern. ;) BTW everytime is see your avatar the soundtrack to heavy metal plays in my head...

hiya guys, i've been busy and it seems i am jumping in on the thread late so...indulge me as i do not have much time these days. saying "purty pleeez" only gets you so far in interrogations. the iragi "insugents"(many of whom are not even iraqi BTW) still have it better of than many of the...

i understand what your saying, and you are wrong. atheism when organized into a state sanctioned policy is hostile to competeing views, again this is not opinion but a matter of historical record and the impetus was because stalin being atheist and a pragmatist decided to wipe out religion...

without morals as a basis to determine what exactly "wrong"(unacceptable) and right(acceptable) is, there is no way to objectively make laws on something subjective. you see the quandry is defining what right and wrong is with no objective definition...it is imposible. as far as government...

i apologize for reacting a bit fiery as well, but i was in a cranky mood :) i am not from a communist nation, but through the years i have observed the great failure of socialism/communism. as for my views, i think i have ealready presented them very well :D to elucidate on the journey from...

actually it could be said agnositicism is the only really truly intellectually honest view since atheism is really as much a matter of faith as the theistic views(they hate when i say that)...as for myself i was an atheist, then an agnostic, then a christian.

you actually speaking of the ultimate end of communism, at least lenin's vision where the state ultimately dies and a utopian society exists in it's place, however a communist government IS part of the evolutionary phase, at least according to lenin anyway, but what would he know? ;) china is...

ditto... in much the same way that death in wars involving other religious views are. because atheism was the state sanctioned religous view, and like any other state sanctioned religious view, it is hostile to other views. for there to be an objective moral law, there by necessity must...

perhaps if you had concentrated on some basic reading compehension instead of being condescending, you would not have assumed so much and been so far off the mark regarding my post, so now since you would presume to correct me i do hope your ego can stand the same treatment, as in a few things...

yes, and the creator of those laws in the declaration of independence is referred to as "God" and "creator" exactly, which is a perfect reason to take it as menaing what it simply says....it was written very literally for a singular purpose.

the official government policy of communist nations is atheism, religious dissnters were killed by the millions in many countries. more people have been killed in the name of state sanctioned atheism than by any other governmental religious view. as for the other deaths for other reasons, when...

it is actually a scientifically proven fact guns do not kill people, people do. 1.in every crime where a gun was involved, a human being pulled the trigger. 2. i replicated an experiment by some UT students, i placed a locked and loaded aK47 in my living room floor, and it never did jump...
