"Constitutional objection" They don't have much of an army because of the terms of surrender in WW2. If they started breaching that agreement and developing WOMD, I'm sure we would deal with them.

Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking and vote that way. But if you want to be a GOOD Democrat, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare the below and see how you rate. 1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding. 2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex. 3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists. 4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding. 5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs. 6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural. 7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand. 8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity. 9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do. 10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it. 11. You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars. 12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution. 13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high. 14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinmen are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison. 15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't. 16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady. 17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge. 18. You have to believe Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House. 19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal. 20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States. Courtesy of http://jokesnjokes.tripod.com/Political/politician014.htm

Iraq attacked Kuwait in the Gulf War. They have refused for over a decade to honor the demands of the the cease fire agreement.

Simple answer to why war came about: religion.

Telekinesis isn't any less believable than telepathy.

Don't forget how WWII started. By giving an insane dictator chance after chance after chance to stop agressions, until the war machine got too big to stop without a major conflict.

Just because we get benefits does not make the true reason we're doing it. We'd get benefits from conquering many other countries that would be even more of a pushover than Iraq, and you don't see us doing that.

Tomorrow there's going to be an anti-war protest on my campus. I intend to make a sign out of the pictures of executed POWs with the questions 'Is this a regime that should be allowed to stay in power?' and incite a riot.

Most of us are aware of the footage Al-Jazeera aired of US soldiers killed. Mainstream American (and I believe British too) media has censored this footage. While their moral justification for this is sound, I believe full understanding of the reality of war justifies viewing these images. That said, I will provide links to the censored content. You know what these images and videos are, if you do not want to view it do not click the links. WARNING: This content is extremely graphic and offensive on many levels. If this content offends you, DO NOT CLICK ANY OF THE BELOW LINKS. http://cryptome.org/us-blackout/us-blackout.htm (images) http://movies.ogrish.com/killedsoldiers.asf (video) http://www.toad.com/us-censors-these/ (images) http://movies.ogrish.com/pow.asf (video) Edit: Ogrish appears to have removed the videos. PM me with your AIM screen name if you want me to send you the video. I can't XDCC on IRC because I'm behind a router with a hardware firewall that blocks all ports.

I thought some Jihad terrorist group ran USF??

There's a difference between a genetic basis and a genetic cause. I haven't seen any studies that infertility and homosexuality are linked.

Couldn't accelerate to c through conventional means because it would require infinite energy.

no, you would see them moving at c.

Something else to consider... Human cloning WILL happen. The US congress can pass all the laws it wants, it will still happen in secret and in other countries. The question is, should we allow cloning to take place in an unregulated environment where the technology will be alot less safe and inevitably produce alot more errors, or carefully regulate it in an advanced setting that will minimize problems?

c. always c.

For me using clones as a spare part bank would only be ethical if the clone was always brain dead... I believe that sentience defines life.

Yeah, I know plenty of useless non-clones, but we keep them around =/

Please refrain from flame wars. Thanks.

If you recognize you have a bias you can be objective.

To have bias you have to care. So it's possible to have no bias... but then you can't decide.

No. I'm more than happy to help with your homework but if you can't even make the effort to read a picture.. I'm not completely doing the assignment for you.

The scientific classification is in the picture.

I don't see how that's related to homosexuality.
