quote: I was right in my predictions about pretty much everything bad that has come out of the Iraq war: Posted by me, here, on March 27, 2003, exactly one week after the start of the war.
The world SAFER? I predict that this war will only make things much less safe for Americans. I predict that it will make it much more likely that a fundamentalist moslem dictatorship will take over in Iraq eventually as well as promoting radical anti-American sentiment throughout the Arab and Moslem world, making terrorism more likely. I think that we will have to work very, very hard to gain back our prestige and credibility internationally. I think this war has made our future dealings with North Korea even more difficult. I must be a military strategy genious. Edited by nator, : No reason given.

quote: Women relegated to being nothing more than mobile uteruses sounds like a Christian Utopia, I know.
quote: Yes. The fact that he is taken seriously at all, anywhere in the country is frankly terrifying and disgusting to me. I am ashamed of so many Americans for being so ignorantly, gleefully Fascist.

quote: ...except for places like Sweden, which has a much better educated populace and a much higher standard of living than we have here in the US. Right? And, last I checked, US citizens no longer enjoy the right of habeas corpus, are not free from secret government wiretapping, not free from being "disappeared", are not free from all sorts of rights that people in other countries still enjoy. We are becomeing much more like a South American banana republic than a free democratic republic.

quote: No, not "invariably". People are only ridiculed if their beliefs are worthy of ridicule. Take President Carter. He is a devout, practicing Christian that has stated many times that his decades of helping and empowering underprivilaged people and in being a moderating voice in world conflicts are a direct manifestation of his religious beliefs. Only the most cynical, coldhearted (and lame) people ridicule Carter for the amazing work he has done. George Bush, however, wages a lot of needless war, ignores an awful lot of worldwide suffering, and has, by all accounts, had no hesitation or difficulty in executing a lot of Texans for someone who professes to follow the "Prince of Peace". Actions speak much louder than words, and most of the time, when people are "ridiculed" for their personal religious beliefs, it is because what they are really doing is being ridiculed for wanting to force everybody else, by power of law, to adhere to their personal religious beliefs. Or their personal moral code based upon their particular religious beliefs. Like the Christian version of Sharia. That is worthy of ridicule.

quote: quote: See, here you are wrong, so very wrong in your facts again (the second quote being an offensive, outrageous, Coulteresque slander), and I am willing to bet that you will ignore the rebuttals/corrections by Rhavin and jar as if they never happened. Edited by nator, : No reason given.

quote: No they don't. It is perfectly legal to fire someone because they are gay, or deny them housing, or prevent them from adopting or fostering unwanted children, or get married. Where do you get this stuff?
