    The Only Rules Left: no harm or steal

    crystalpc: Children aren't old enough to give consent to anything. Porn is already legal and should remain so. Prostitution should be legal, but solicitation would remain illegal. Polygamy should also be legal, and is hardly moral corrupt by Christian standards anway. Moral decay is...

    Kindergartner Censored For Gifts of Religious Candy Canes & Pencils

    Actually, Polycarp, I would be interested in why the second is an exception.

    The Only Rules Left: no harm or steal

    Wait, what's the problem again? Last time I checked, the US was all about personal liberty, except when it infringes on the rights of others. Legislating morality has always been a pointless exercise, anyway.

    Remind us:Why did the U.S. Invade and Destabilize Iraq?

    No, Blemonds. The solution to a worse situation is not to go back to a bad one.

    No, Blemonds. Try again.

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    Xen: Go back and read the rest of the thread. Hussein killed around 300,000, total. Not 2 million. Sorry.

    Remind us:Why did the U.S. Invade and Destabilize Iraq?

    Not to mention Iraq is still not free: its streets aren't safe, its leaders have been appointed, not elected, and its citizens are still being killed daily by the various opposing factions and the US army.

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    alonesoldier: Again, personal assertion is worthless. We don't know if you're telling the truth, mistaken, or just making stuff up unless you support your claims. Blemonds: How are the figures still in dispute?

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    alonesoldier: Personal assertion is nothing. Support is everything. Zlex: Actually, more than 22,000 Iraqis would have died over the last nine months: nearly 10,000 because of Hussein and nearly 12,000 children because of US-led sanctions. Of course, the former number was and would remain...

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    Rising Tree: Um, kind of. The sole reason for the lower total number of Iraqi deaths is the cessation of sanctions and the flood of humanitarian aid into the country: something that could and should have happened a long time ago. Zlex: I think you misread the article. In any case, it is an...

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    Um, Zlex. An unsupported op-ed that makes up numbers doesn't cut it. From your article: "Probably 10,000 Iraqis died in the 1990-91 Gulf War, although estimates vary." "The policies of Saddam's regimes have led to an average of perhaps 200,000 Iraqis dying per year..." From reputable...

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    Blemonds, we covered this before. If I remember correctly, after 5 pages of you avoiding a very simple question: "What resolutions did Iraq violate and when?", you disappeared and never did answer my question. And for all the participants in this happy discussion: UN resolution 678. You can...

    How many innocent people have died in Iraq?

    edit: Zlex just erased the post I was responding to. He was making inflated claims of Hussein's mass graves. And, apparently, grevious mathematical errors. Zlex: How about using numbers from a reputable source? Say, the US-led occupation authority, which pegs the total at 300,000. (CBS) This...

    Haliburton: The Truth Comes Out

    Blemonds: How could anyone who at least claims the capacity for critical thought tout a press release from flailing company as truth? Your excessive bias is destroying your brain.

    So, I lost Adobe... Fantastic.

    When you buy software, you're buying a license, not the actual software or even the medium you get it on. Electric bought a license that allows him to install and use Photoshop on a single computer. Where he gets the binaries is basically irrelevent.

    Electric: Pirate it. You have a legal and moral right to software you paid for, however indirectly.

    CNN Rigged "Spontaneous Questions" At Debate

    Um, this wasn't a "Democratic event". It was a media event, and the sponsors wanted good television. Also, arranging some of the questions is not "scripting EVERYTHING" or doing background checks on the audience. Quit with the paronoia, it only makes you look mentally ill.

    Brutal occupation tactics

    Plan 9: You're either lying, stunningly ignorant, or willfully misinformed. There was no Iraqi HQ in the hospital, the injuries Lynch sustained were from the crash which resulted in her capture, and her life was saved by the medical attention she recieved. There was never a car battery in her...

    WMDs found!

    Michael: Wrong. Blix said Iraq was cooperating. Read the report he made in February 2003. Why did you think the UN refused to authorize the war? Why do you think thinking people from across the political spectrum condemned Bush's invasion? Because Iraq was cooperating. Guess what? We...

    WMDs found!

    Godz: Um, prove it. Last time I checked, it's been a over a decade since there's been any proof (or even real evidence) of WMD production facilities.
