@TG:

I am sure he was just joking…
Though a Canadian singing our stars and stripes was mighty “interesting.” :wink:

well didja’ notice who headlined the halftime show? The hottest, worst-dressed lipsync-er out there - Shanananania 8)

:lol: john jaha the guy who would hit behind matt stairs for oakland like 5 years ago…. not being rude, but why john jaha? if you’re gonna name oakland/milwaukee sluggers from like 5 years ago why not McGwire, Burnitz, Stairs, or some of the other ones?

@yourbuttocks:

Eat my Shorts, Geeze!

What be the U.N.'s job? Disarming N.Korea, protecting S. Korea?
SO many U.N. resolutions are ignored.

Besides, who do you think the Taepo-Dong 2 is going to be aimed at?

Because YB showed this forum to me.

…and becuase this forum actually debates “relevant” political topics.

You’re a true inspiration to us all, Strong :wink:

He might of been refering to our huge garrison in Germany.

Yes… that and the fact that I don’t want to dishonor fallen comrades on both sides (except jerks like Herman and Hitler :evil:).

Exactly

when did they change from blue to what it’s like now?

Yeah, there are different ways to make that cut.
Some say Columbus, some say Fall of Byzantine…. I don’t think that you can make that up on one event. It happened around 1500, that’s good enough for me :)

i’d say best beaches on east coast as far south as VA beach, cuz maryland/delaware beaches are awful (only beacuse they aren’t in VA) :P

Same book, page 20,

“Recent events worry George Bush’s contributors, as they President Bush is using too much political capital on Economic stimulus, and not spending enough on the defense of V.P. Cheney’s recent scandal. The scandal occured when Cheney met with executives from Enron, the biggest Funder of the Bush-Cheney 2000 ticket last year, and refused to release information on that meeting to Congress after Enron’s recent scandal.”

About as hard as it is to say Rich-Gringo-Land in Spanish :)

@Anonymous:

have any of you heard of a thing called the “children’s crusade”…

I have to agree with Fin here. The end of that crusade is unknown, there are many different stories around. One goes that the “leader” sold them all as slaves, others that they all died through some fever, that they reached the holy land and some of them later faought in the 5th crusade, etc.

@StrongBad1988:

all i did was respond to my own post that i put before i was a user so i can get out of the basement of “occasional user”

don’t do that
please
it’s tedious.

Fk and FS - i think you guys just wasted a lot of time and energy addressing a point that was not even made. I’ve even stated before that the bible is not a scientific text, and one should not use it for scientific purposes (even tho’ i believe it speaks of the “God of science”). Rather i believe EG’s point is that if you are looking at history one must consider it from more than one angle. To study the War of Independance/Revolutionary War from the American point of view, then the things you will learn is American bravery in the face of hardship, heroism in the face of overwhelming forces, etc. A British reading will demonstrate opportunism, luck, supply problems and inability to cope with guerilla tactics.
The same is with history. If we read it from an agnostic/atheist point of view only then we will get a completely different understanding of what the world was like relative to a Christian or Jewish point of view. Not to say one would be necessarily right - they all “push an agenda”.

its the day after christmas

Interesting, I didn’t know that! :P

I’ll have to pass that on to Mr. Hanley!
