Residing in a state which pays heavily towards the dirigiste interests of the nation [for example, if we cut off the amount of money pay to make sure Westerners get water, we'd be in pretty good shape] I can say with certainty that ideological persuasions have a negligible influence on our relative ...

"If only the poor were like us, the aristocracy" Which this is; the self-satisfactions of aristocrats lamenting the burden of hoi polloi. Tell me something I don't know. Seems like you're missing the point big time here. No, I get it just fine. It's an inch deep and a mild wide. All the a...

Okay, yeah, well, while you're gloating, spare a minute for what these people are becoming when they stop being conservatives. Which people? The progressive, educated, and freedom-loving people who vote for gay marriage and government benefits for the poor? They become affluent, build functional ho...

You mean the white-working class populists that previously dominated the Democratic Party before they got kicked out by New Left hipsters? The ones that have no voice and have been labeled "Conservative" as a branding technique to help Republicans; keep the party system going, and convey a...

Whitney Houston had an amazing voice. I think it's as simple as that.

. Nope, not Hal9000. NapLajoieonSteroids Azeri, totally different person, not even Jewish- but I know that's difficult for you to comprehend: You see Jews everywhere. . :lol: maybe not, but it sure feels that way quite identical argumentation as HAL9000 . It feels that way cause it's the truth- loo...

Nope, not Hal9000. NapLajoieonSteroids Azeri, totally different person, not even Jewish- but I know that's difficult for you to comprehend: You see Jews everywhere. I'm pointing out by your own bloody standards- the Jews, Palestinians, Syrians etc are all closely related and there is nothing you can...

The reason the Saudis get special treatment is because they have both oil and a more uncertain future with those million prince-lings running about. That's why the House of Saud was chosen by the Brits; much easier to control in theory if not practice. It is ridiculous to look at everything but thi...

I think you spend more time thinking about Jews than most Jews do You don't seem to get it though, you are no authority on who is or isn't a Jew, even by your standards of blood relations (genetics). The majority of Israeli settlers are from Middle Eastern countries who kicked them out. And there we...

A 9/11 inside job doesn't need thousands of people. All you need is intelligence discovering that a group of terrorists is plotting a 9/11 type of attack. You check them out, and realize they might give you a perfect Pearl Harbor on a silver platter. Except, part of the package is that the terroris...

yeh, any long term conspiracy thoery that requires more than a room full of like minded people is lunacy imnho. it just doesnt happen, for all the reasons mentioned and many more besides.. It does though. Iran Contra went on for a while before it was exposed. all neat dichotomous statements have ar...

yes, interesting, thanks for posting.

Except, she doesn't stop there. As Atta and others are US gov't are government operatives, this is a conspiracy that reaches far beyond that Terrible Triumvirate who "let it happen" for their own gain. And such a conspiracy would require two administrations and who knows...and they all tho...

No. That this woman was a negotiator and had a "CIA handler" who told her that 9/11 was going to happen. Yeah, right. She has that crazy glint in her eyes and sounds like a space cadet. "We had negotiated an AMAZING peace deal and Iraq was going to let the weapons inspectors in and t...

That Australia would invoke internet censorship to such a degree I find very surprising, and disappointing, given that I've always perceived Australia to be a rather robust a parliamentary democracy. Why did Australia embrace the Nanny State? its why you dont understand my cynicism of modern democr...

And look, folks, I'm not running down soldiers for shits and giggles. I have met many seriously intelligent people that started out as dumbass first class. But that's after years of travel and education, both of which the US military provides for more than any other anybody in the world. But that 1...

This is the Mitt I'm talking about: smooth.

The Paul stuff I believe- I don't think anyone doubts that. But the important thing is that the movement is strong and everyone is counted and has a voice; so if there are Obama supports, they speak just as well for the movement as you do or the people you've seen. I know Barack supporters within t...

Just for shits and giggles; Why bother? Do you leave a garden untended? Past a certain point, getting it back requires a slash-and-burn operation. Perhaps, but I am a slow and steady sort. And as much as I appreciate and understand creative destruction, when I see everyone around me screaming "...

President Obama could languish and few will be there to watch. The media will only be so tough on the President when it is in their best interest that this race remains as close and contentious as possible for ratings and readers. The debates will not hurt the President too much, they are a joke; t...
