210,000 Dead in Indonesia.

Fox news

Per Foxnews Alert.

210,000 people have died in the Tsunami.

The worst disaster in the last 300 years.

[Darksheare]

Oh, I see.

The military cannot flatten a cemetary.
Geneva conventions and military law itself does not allow for it.
I was in artillery, and we had to be careful on one of teh firing ranges at Fort Sill because there was an old cemetary not far fro one of the impact zones.
If a round landed in the cemetary, the entire gun crew would have been shipped off "do not pass Go" top Levinworth's basement suites.

So you're advocating acting barbarously?

Weak kneed leadership?
*snort*

Even Christianity at one point worshipped at the broken altar of fundamentalism

?????? Fundamentalism...taking the Bible literally and applying those teaching to you life. No, you are wrong, fundamentalism in Christianity is what brought about the reformation and has given the West the freedoms it now enjoys.

Fundamentalism in islam gives us lovely people like Osama bin laden and the Iatolla(sp?) Kohmani and countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

A little religion study might be in order.

[Darksheare]

How about you stop first?
You're whining about getting attacked and insulted, and yet you're the guy who's doing it, much like the playground punk who shoves another kid down and then cries to the teacher when he gets it in return.

[RushCrush]

Do NOT get on Darksheare's bad side.
(my advice...take it or leave it)

[mysto]

You can dish it out but you sure can't take it, can you? I merely said that calling people an idiot is an idiotic thing to do. It's an example of flipping the argument... using your own foolish words against you. If you're offended by that, then you need to grow thicker skin.

[Darksheare]

I did, "BOY."

And my conclusion is that you're off base.

[Stringfellow Hawke]

Fight for them, I mean menace the democRAT with vetos and perhaps stop the whole government if they stall his picks any more. I mean take drastic measures.

Perhaps not realistic, but I think he needs to be assertive and show these people he means business. Unless he really doesn't care about his judicial picks and such?

[Stringfellow Hawke]

My conclusion is you're off kilter. I'm no longer replying to you, till you get past that

"Bush wasn't the president when the Cole blew up".

[Stringfellow Hawke]

No, I'm just pointing out your hypocrisy.

[Darksheare]

Oh, I sdee.
You're going to stick your fingers in your ears and pretend taht post 43 didn't happen, nor your behavior since.
How.. convenient.

Say, we've met before.
You've been here before Nov 5 2004.

[Not A Snowbird]

menace the democRAT with vetos

Veto what? They don't have any pet legislation getting through that he could threaten them with.

and perhaps stop the whole government

Oh, you've got to be kidding with that one. Look what happened to the republicans when they were just accused of shutting it down last time. That would do lasting damage.

[Darksheare]

And yours has been pointed out too!
Isn't that great!

[Heavyrunner]

Fundamentalism and mixing religion and politics also brought about the Spanish Inquisition. To imply atrocities have not been committed in the name of G-d or Christ would be disingenuous.

This is a slippery slope, and my intention is not to stir the ire of any adherents to any particular religion.

Suffice it to say that those times are in the past (well, outside of Northern Ireland) but that they DID happen.

[mysto]

Oh, so now I'm a hypocrite... at least you're consistent. When you have nothing meaningful to say, you resort to name-calling... you know what they say about sticks and stones...

[RushCrush]

IP check!!!!

[Stringfellow Hawke]

It shouldn't hurt you any more then you using the same slings and arrows on me :)

[Darksheare]

Mysto isn't using slings and arrows.
Slings and Arrows does.

[SlowBoat407]

I am currently quite annoyed, but I am using civil language and restraint. This is not a sign of living in "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood", but a sign of respect in spite of any differences we might have.

I had hoped to help you find a graceful way to extricate yourself from the corner into which you have backed yourself, but out of respect, I will leave you to manage your temper in any way you see fit.

[superskunk]

OK. I see your point. I too believe that these protected 'holy sites' should have become fair game. It's a politically sensitive situation. Still, I would have played it more aggressively myself.

I'm not against immigration per se, but illegal immigration must be stopped.

It's the job of congressional republicans to defend and endorse Bush's nominees. We must hold THEM accountable.

The MSM and the foreigners become less relevant to the average American, with each passing day. (Thanks in part to FR.)

He has to diplomatically put these foreign leaders in their place. Many foreign citizens actually do like us, in spite of what the MSM says. We don't want to change that. They elect their leaders.

I think we've made some progress here.

[mysto]

Mysto isn't using slings and arrows. Slings and Arrows does.
I prefer lightning myself...
