So what are you proposing, that the moment Saddam was caught the US should simply have removed all of its troops and said to the Iraqis, "there you go, start from scratch with no help. Good luck!" and then sit back and watch as someone like Zarqawi tried to install himself in the same place as...

I assume you have proof the US simultaneously had continuing knowledge of human rights abuses, including the use of chem weapons, while supporting Saddam? The UN imposed the sanctions on Iraq. And the children starved because of the internal distribution programs of food recieved from the...

Did the "invading" force remove a dictator who 1) used to haul a wood chipper to the town sqaure, drage me from my home and put you in feet first 2) used chemical weapons to kill my cousins and 5,000 other Kurds as well as 30,000 other Iraqis and Iranians 3) named his psychotic son head of...

Not just oil contracts either. Here we find that the French sold anti-aircraft missles to the French. (France claims the missles were made by 1993, let's give them the benefit of the doubt) The Washington Times details an Iraq French . . . association (you though I was gonna say connection)...

Going all the way back to the original post; I've got two possible responses to this. First, the guy that filed this report must be absolutely clueless. Here is an article that says Polish troops found warheads in Baghdad containing a toxic gas equatable to sarin but more powerful. Someone...

A fortunate thing since practically all of their neighbors would like to see them dead.

In case anyone had doubts that God exists, this is proof He not only exists, but has a wickedly awesome sense of humor.

There are lots of different specific variations, but basically its antithetical definition, its someone who isn't more conservative (relys on more traditional orthodoxy)

They are irrelevant authorities for such matters, they admitedlly have very little, if any knowledge about the scientific side of Biblical studies. What they believe, is in some sense irrelevant. I don't actually know, I didn't ask either of them, because? Like I already said, were either of...

Yes but would you say either that there is not way to decide of those things are wrong, or that they are not different from not performing the actions. Would you believe the actions were wrong? In the use of bored I was merely dissassociating the possibility that the performing person had...

This argument is merely spilliting the hair's between the philosophical notions behind moraility in relation to the specific idea outcomes. You cannot seperate the reasoning for an idea with how it plays out. There is, behind all of it, the concepts. Specifically stating the "right" or...

Yes but the absence of a standard, is a standard, that was my entire point. A decleration of the blank slate for moral absolutism is a morally absolute statement.

Just because things are possible, does not mean they necessarily happened, or will. You could wreck your car tomorrow, but I doubt you will (I hope you won't, but if you do I hope you're okay). There are two other elements at play here. First is that this prediction is generally drawn for...

Ignorant, not quite, sloppy, yes. Chrisitian was not the correct term to use, I should have also included Judiasm. These are the only two religions which are both logically coherent and have an element of scientific inclusion. Honestly, I can't remember what I was gonna do next . . . its...

By far the best. Thank you. I would like to politely disagree. No matter what you call a singular inception, or even if you have no language, the difference between having 1 finger and 10 is quite obvious, so an argumentation of the digits is improper. 1 is an assignment for the...

Overall this was initially thought provoking. I started my response to this with lots of philosophical pontificating and musing, then I decided some objects might be better suited. 1)Torturing babies for fun is not okay. 2)Torturing animals for fun is not okay. 3)Killing people for fun...

No, I'm saying the believe they don't believe in right and wrong, but they actually do. Now if you are saying there are moral relativists who believe in right and wrong, I would, with no hostility or malice like to explain to me what makes them a moral relativist. I could very easily be...

I was going to deal with only the best of responses to my post, but this one was so . . . interesting. And your first sentence proves that my point must have been way too easy to miss. If you believe in moral relativism, then you think it is right. If you think it is right you think it is...
