I don't drink Alcoholic beverages either,but you might want to start. :-)

You do a darn good job of appearing that way, perhaps you're on some kind of medication then. Either way, I'll pass on you offer.

A Territory that had attempted to gain Statehood for 40+ years, still a protectorate considered important to the defense of the mainland and Country. The President seemed to grasp that, delcaring war the following day.

Pearl City was damaged and there were casualties. How many is not known as there were no separate counts made.(Prolly cause it didn't matter, we were not at war, couldn't be determined in some cases, and because military personel are considered civilians in that circumstance.) 2403 casualties(civilian and military) with half as many injured, and every bit as devastating to the Country, perhaps more so.

Both were terror attacks, both were severe miscalculations, both used Kamakazi pilots, both could have been much worse.

It might be a little easier to understand written English, if you typed it.

Don't let 'em drag you into a pissing match. You'll get dirty, and they'll enjoy it. Plus, they'll win.

By "winning", I mean they'll get the thread kicked to the backroom (where no one else will see it), and/or get it deleted.

They succeeded on both scores today with a *very* important thread.

They generally run in packs, and it's not hard to spot 'em.
