    Copperas Cove man to give president his Purple Heart

    I am disgusted by this in so many ways, I don't even know where to start. The Purple Heart is in honor of the those who have sacrificed themselves, not to honor those who placed them there in the first place (not just in this war but ANY war!!!). My father earned a purple heart in Vietnam and...

    Iraq war is 'lost': US Democrat leader.

    As I said in some of my previous posts, we are in a very unfortunate situation. Both parties have now established a long history of fiscal irresponsibility. I would vote for the democrat for no other reason but to end the war (and associated spending) but both of the 'big two' Dems advocate...

    Gasoline prices: up, and rising.

    People (especially Americans) who complain about gas prices is about the strangest thing in the world. Starbucks coffee (literally coffee beans and water) which should take all of $0.02 to make costs $3-4 per cup. It equates to something like $32/gallon vs the $2-3/gallon gas costs...

    Iraq war is 'lost': US Democrat leader.

    Dems (particularly the 'big two' running in 2008) have been major advocates of socialized healthcare plans using Europe as the example. Though they make the idea sound like all bunnies and flowers, our government has proven they cannot manage our money as is....and now they want more. I will...

    Should Iran be allowed to get nukes?

    America had not been attacked by the Middle East prior to our intervention there (beginning with Israel). As long as we don't have a presense there, I don't believe they will go to the trouble to attack us. I don't believe America will act to prevent Iran from finally obtaining atomic...

    Iraq war is 'lost': US Democrat leader.

    The war is lost. Iraq is several different countries put together...the only thing that kept them together (fascism) we removed to spread democracy. The only option is to break the country up into smaller ones, which Bush clearly won't do. Poor leadership has lead America into this disaster...

    Who's to blame for the Virginia Tech deaths?

    Not sure what you're suggesting...Ban guns??? We tried to ban alcohol in the United States and we all know how well that took. We also tried to ban drugs here with our 'war on drugs' and that went over worse than prohibition did. Our ban on drugs has lead to a multibillion dollar black market...

    Mining Company Blocked From Gore Event

    It amuses me that Gore is viewed as the 'super-environmentalist' that he is. 8 years as the vice president and his administration has really no sinigifcant environmental policy to claim fame to. I think his movie was a positive in that it addressed a real and serious issue (despite its many...

    Grotesque Diabolical Scene- In Your Neighbourhood?

    Oh, not justified. I am not sympathizing with them at all. This killing is not justified. I am simply stating that killing isn't equal to terrorism. Why is this significant? Well if you are going to sponsor a 'War on Terror' which could result in a lot of pain and suffering on both sides...

    Grotesque Diabolical Scene- In Your Neighbourhood?

    During World War II we carpet bombed residential Tokyo long after key targets had been destroyed (factories, comms, AA batteries). The death toll from these bombings were in the 100,000+ civilians range after only days of bombings. By your definition, are Americans terrorists? We were at war...

    Grotesque Diabolical Scene- In Your Neighbourhood?

    That's not entirely true. Invading a country and then calling whoever fights back a terrorist--and hence calling it a war on terror--is not a good way to conduct foreign policy. What happened in New York is terrorim, what is happenening in Iraq ia a civil/regional war (and yes there is a...

    Why wasn't Imus been fired before??

    I find it amusing that this even became much of an issue. I don't object to him being fired, but in the context of entertainment today I don't find his comments shocking at all. Have you ever listened to Sarah Silverman (or countless others like her)? JUST WOW! Granted she is on cable, but...

    INTJ + INFJ ... thoughts?

    Two reasons for this: 1) Many of these online tests don't do a great job of categorizing people and tend to put people at extremes with few people in the middle categories. 2) Introverts spend much more time online, and are hence much more likely to fill out and online survey.

    Guys -- how important is body type?

    I tend to think women are more picky in online dating. Its amusing to see these 5'2" girls list '5'11" and taller' as a requirement in their profiles. Shear numbers give women the upper hand in online dating, regardless of body type. Plus, even if you are really concerned, it is probably easier...

    INTJ + INFJ ... thoughts?

    I am an INTJ. INTJ and INFJ are two of the three rarest of the personality types, so it is an unlikely matchup by shear numbers. I think they would make an awful pairing. You are right, INTJ's are often sarcastic and pragmatic. It takes a similar personality type to not only appreciate this...
