  1. Just one more thing, and then I'll be done, promise. Could you elaborate a little bit more, I don't see how it would be a reason not to help if there are others that are worse, we can only do one at a time, can't we? And I think this and all the other half reasons could have compounded to become a good case to invade, couldn't it?
  2. I see, most of that makes sense. But can you dismiss all evidnce of WMD programs or connections with terrorism? Can you dismiss Iraqi government treatment of citizens?
  3. That will happen becuase of the War? I don't understand the connection.
  4. I don't see how Bush gets oil, it may open markets to the US, but not the any one person. Plz explain.
  5. So the report is not true? Whats wrong with it? Did they get inteligence wrong or what? Very curious.
  6. How does he get oil from the US invading Iraq? That's a commom arguement that everyone uses and doesn't even think about it. "why should we help them if we don't help anyone else" We are helping everyone else, the US sends humanitarian aid all around the world, the US has peace keeping troops all around the world. The argument hold no water, makes no sense, and its repeated way to ofton. And you argument is based on the fact that they do need help. Well if they do, then why not help, becuase we can't do it at the same time everywhere?
  7. I've been researching and I found a document. During the first Gulf War Iraq: http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/publications/reports/isc/iwmdia.pdf -Report by the British government's Intelligence and Security Committee. During the second Conflict: Iraq: Concealing what I wonder...? They found them.
  8. Kinda of. Should we not try to fix it? Do the people enjoy life this way?
  9. Yeah, it seemed she built a reputation as a nice girl in Disney movies, and then turned around and took off some of her clothes and danced on an elevater in a music video.
  10. Those are just about the most funny and honest voting results I've seen all day!
  11. It was very Risque, and I compared it to her Disney career, and I was surprised.
  12. Well pretty much she was a little girl that was in a bunch of Disney movies, and then she got older, and it went downhill form there.... I was just surprised. Didn't know that, haha, guess it's tied.
  13. Then it is also true that the Soviet Union was not communist. Communism as Karl Marx envisioned it has never been prtacticed in reality. The form of communism which was used in the Soviet Union, the communism that was feared during the Cold War, that is the communism that exists in North Korea. The government owns the means of production, the economy is planed by the government, people don't decide anything to do with the economy, the government does. That is actual communism in practice, not fundimental communism.
  14. I looked in various places. I find that the government is very much modeled after the Soviet Union, which libertaed it from China. I look and I find that all leaders of government belong to the communist Korean Workers' Party. Does this not mean that the government is Comunist? It also says that the government refuses to participate with global free markets. It does show there are small areas with capitalism, mainly the Kaesŏng Industrial Region, but not much. http://countrystudies.us/north-korea/58.htm Is that not the very definition of Communism?
  15. What are they? I'll try and looker deeper I guess, but that's what I found earlier...
  16. Lisndsey Lohan, duh. Rumors video... holy...
  17. It doesn't sound like they are doing too well. http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/kn.html And little freedom with a Communist state one-man dictatorship.
  18. Nuke north Karea? Nukes are what the US is trying to prevent. But nukes in the hands of Radical governments, and a government that has more power in a fewer amount of poeple, are dangerous. It would be important to find a way to disarm them.
  19. The definition of Communism does not include a bloody revolution, or any revolution at all. Communism is kind of like socialism, except no one owns anything, they are owned by the public, and you work what people think your best at, and work your fair share, and everything is distributed evenly between the people. The problem with Communism is that the it is WAY to easy to be taken advantage of by the government. Pretty soon the public doesn't own everything, now it is the government that owns everything. It becomes a clever way to control the people. Pretty soon it is only the government and their benafacters who are benifiting. There is also the problem with resentment between the workers who think they work more, and the scholars and researchers who think their work is more valuable.
  20. Even if the machines worked all by them selves they would still take energy and that would cost money, and some tasks can only be done by human beings, unless a super small robot was made.
  21. How so? Do you mean "creationalist" as in everyone who doesn't accept evolution or something else?
  22. The moon looks bigger to me near the horizon becuase its behind the mountains, and my brain knows how big the mountains are, and therefore roughly how far away they are. So the moon looks far away behind the mountains and the moon seems further away and bigger, and when its in thw sky there is nothing to compare it to, so our minds can only guess. A more specific example.
  23. Oh sry you are right, its backwards.
  24. Haha, now can we be serious? Can a man that believes in God not acctept the proof of evolution, can he not be capable of reason. There are problems with labeling people and assuming everything about them becuause of that label. That problem is a part of a world were we don't judge people on their character but on their labels.
  25. Its politically correct.
