Lebanon has been giving Hezbollah free reign, letting them arm themselves, and then conduct attacks on Israel. All this came down to a duelling glove being brought against Israel's face... and Israel...

Ok. Everyone at least pretend to by arguing about something vaguely on topic. Ok?

And we can all sit in a circle and sing kumbuyah(sp?) all day?

Anything that is taken is given freely. Money is offered for services and people, entirely by their own accord, flock to provide. In fact, if you removed that source of supposed 'exploitation', a...

Well, we are a composite organism made up of a number of smaller powers. They are free to do whatever the hell they want as long as it doesn't violate certain mutually agreed upon bindings.

The least trustworthy source in all of existence.

Eh. Not have as off the wall as half the crap I hear around here. I am quite doubtful though.

Mostly what the Islamists do is to fire rockets from the middle of highly populated residential...

Worrysome. Oh, I do so hope this is just some unfounded accusation. If its not...

Doesn't matter how much the earth offers. The problem is that certain areas are plague and famine drench wastelands where men really shouldn't live. Like Africa. On top of that, most countries in...

There is enough fruit and other edibles to feed fifty monkeys within the distance they could travel before starving. Thus, competition. There is a herd of bison and a pack of wolves. The wolves want...

Competition is indeed costly in nature... but equally necessary.
If creatures are not required to fight tooth and claw for the chance to live and breed, they will inevitably degenerate. Look at carp...

I suggest everyone re-read Fraggle Rocker's posts.
People seem to have totally skimmed over the only competent posts in the entire thread.

Not quite. Communism requires absolute trust in the inherent goodness and self-discipline of the rest of the human race. It also requires the inclination to suppress all desire for anything better...

If they want to vote, they damn well are going to have to pay their taxes.

And, technically, we could just round them all up and have them put before a firing squad as spies. They are foreign-born...

You can only take problems a couple at a time.
Don't worry. We will get there in due time.

Its as justified as justabout any war in the history of mankind.
Take that whichever way you wish.

Wrong type of internal action. What it would take is such a split of beliefs with such strong feelings on either side that people are willing to fight a civil war. Unless something seriously changed...

Only that hostages aren't content to hold a gun to their own heads when the criminal is busy firing at the police. ;)
Worst case of stockholm syndrome in the known universe.

Oh, we will fall. Everything collapses sometime. But I am convinced that we will rise out of our own ashes at least a couple times before darkness finally claims America.

Remember how many times...

Cheaper to buy that to claim via conquest.

Don't worry about it, Buffalo. As long as it is readable, that is enough for me.
You are already several steps ahead of some posters due to your use of capitalization, punctuation, and proper...

Because the opinions of nations other than our own have never and will never have a hand in our own policy decisions. American citizens have a say to such things... not the rest of the world.

You flatter us. Rome at its peak is what all nations aspire to.

Until a foreign military can stand upon American soil, we are not spread too thin. And may the opinions of other nations be damned.

To have absolute certainty that you understand a situation, particularly the inner workings of another man's head, is perhaps the gravest mistake that can ever be made.

I don't particularly care if it kills braincells. The point is that one is not exactly at peak performance for some time after use and its one of those drugs that can be, and often is, used almost...
