Nobody's doubting that he is uniquely qualified to design this building. But that doesn't make it a good one by default. I preferred that other tentative design which looked like a rocket. That one had some real imagination behind it. This other thing looks like Bauhaus on steroids. :P

Ouch. :(

I don't have time to address all of this tonight, as I've been preoccupied with debates at another forum. It will have to wait until tomorrow. But there's a couple of points I'd like to leave you with: You haven't shown me any reason for doubting the legitimacy of the Jewish claim to...

This is a good topic. A a subscriber to his mailing list, I'd like to throw in Daniel Pipes' analysis: Daniel Pipes New York Post February 24, 2003 http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1032 http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/31017.htm "It was quiet in [Cooper Hall] 464...

I'm quite happy to tone things down a little, TheBear. It would be nice if others would make an effort to do the same. This means no more labelling and insult-hurling. If I can handle it, why can't others?

This design has absolutely no redeeming features at all. What is it trying to say? Where is its aesthetic appeal? Are people honestly expected to pay money for this thing? :scratch:

Hello Allen2. :) Thankyou and you're welcome. :) No, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I've been the recipient of it myself in times past. I know the drill. ;) I certainly hope so. OK Because Britain was in possession of a valid mandate at that time, a fact recognised by...

I was homeschooled from the age of 3 (which is when I learned to read) until the age of 5 (which is when I learned to play chess.) From the ages of 5-8 I attended a Montessori school, which I absolutely loved. :) My mother homeschooled me for a while when we moved interstate, and...

Good old Bulgaria! :) I can see it now... the Marines invade Iraq and broadcast their first announcement over national radio: "Citizens of Iraq, lay down your arms. Resistance is futile. Bulgaria is poised to strike...!" ;)

Continuing my response to Zoe: In the latter section of your post, you provide evidence that these people are definitely anti-Bush, so that's fine and I accept that they are. But believe it or not, some people will do what they have done even when they don't really hate the person who's...

Finally, some clarification! Great. Now we know what you mean. Thankyou. Celebrities are not exactly known for their superior knowledge of global politics. ;) Although I'm curious to know how you define "saying very anti-America things." Fine. Would you like to talk about the...

Yes, but the relationship obviously soured at least 12 years ago, so there's been at least a decade for somebody to do something about it. That's the point I am making. I think it's fair to assume that any intelligence agency worth its salt would not be stymied by the use of a few doubles...

Good question: I don't know. But I do know that it certainly hasn't taken a back seat with me. I've openly advocated the assasination of Hussein as a perfectly viable alternative to the war. In fact, I'm simply puzzled that it was never attempted in the 12 years which followed Desert...

I'm curious to know. When will Israel be the issue at hand? I mean, it's all very well to say "She's not the issue at hand", but her human rights violations are stacking up, and so are her breaches of UN resolutions. We do ourselves no favours by ignoring the issue. As an avid supporter...

Judging from the comments I've received lately, the answer to that question is a resounding "No."

Aha, the Jewish question. ;) Really? 700 years straight? 700 years of direct occupation? Well, even if that's true, it's irrelevant because they didn't live there as an established nation. They were just hanging around a piece of land which belonged to somebody else. Namely, the...

Getting out of the "Republican/Democrat" rut would also be a good idea, IMHO. We're not all Americans on this forum (which is actually owned and run by an Australian) and not everybody is easily pigeonholed as "liberal" or "conservative."

If people dont't want to see lies, they shouldn't be spreading them in the first place. Case in point: Well, since I have not made such a statement, you are now the one who is lying. This is what I said: The current situation has America, Britain and Australia preparing for a war...

It's nice to have a new topic for a change, but it's still just another form of the liberal/conservative debate, which I am beginning to find just as tedious as the war debate itself. Ethnocentric issues such as this one are irrelevant to those of us who are not Americans. Perhaps we can...

It was a purely facetious comment. Hence the reference to Dennis the Menace, a softback publication of the comic variety. :rolleyes:
