What it was that made James Holmes go nuts.

Exactly, Dezrt.  But you only NEED it in times of drafts because you can just not volunteer.  So yes, Jermo, you can just decalre yourself a Conscientious Objector and not have to join any clubs to do it.  Just tell them before you sign the contract and they’ll rip it right up and send you on your merry way.  End of story.  No one is forced to kill another human being in this country.  However, there are times it is recommended (ie stopping your wife from being raped and your children dismembered before your eyes, being some of the cases.)

And I’d like to see proof that rape and the rest of your tirade was ever commanded by God to his armies.  Just Book, Chapter and Verse will be fine, thank you. See new thread -df-

There are no permenant lines so that alternate land sets could be made and layed down over the water base color. Originally we would lay down low tack adheasive narrow black tape but found that on a map that large, the zones are obvious and you really don’t need them. The next stage that we never got around to was an elevated plexi layer to place the aircraft on.

Ok, so I had an idea for a thread, well, a series of them really. I figured each of us, or those interested, could create a thread for ourselves where anyone can ask your opinions on anything at all. Give us a sort of road map to what people think about various issues…any issues at all really. So if anyone has any questions about my opinion on ANY topic, post 'em here, and I’ll answer.

Ill get the ball rolling with some preliminary info…some of you probably know some of this, but I need to start somewhere. also, Im going to give a glib presentation of beliefs in this first post. if you want more info, ask.

I: do not believe in God, am a follower of no political party, and am pro-choice.

That is far more impressive than the de-clawed cat of my youth chasing the dog of my youth (who was twice her size) about the house.

That is a cat with serious attitude.

I love Deadliest Catch and Mythbusters! It Takes A Thief is pretty good too. :wink: Oh, and I love Dirty Jobs. Yeah, Discover rocks!

Would you give $ to state and local governments which didn’t fulfill their responsibilities?

Katrina Death Toll guesstimates seem to have been a lil off…

Recall Mayor Nagin’s # of 10,000 in Nawlins alone…

EXCERPT
THE death toll from Hurricane Katrina has risen to 1069 after Louisiana officials raised the number of confirmed fatalities in that state to 832.

…218 dead in Mississippi and 19 deaths confirmed in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee…
END EXCERPT

Still a good pic though! Now if they could show his cabinet as the the RING WRAITHS that would be cool!

@dabaron:

The term “Palestine” was invented by the Romans as a means to dishonor the Jews, because they hated them. They wanted to file the Jews and the Arabs together in a land called “Palestine” instead of Israel. So really, the “Palestinians” are just Jordanian Arabs that have lived in the region since the great dispersion and, in my opinion, have no rightful claim to the land whatsoever. Now let’s get back to the topic, unusual stuff.

You’re quite right, dabaron. “Palestine” was what Emperor Hadrian named Judea (omdern day Israel) after the second revlot against Rome in 135 CE. It came from the extinct nation of the Philistines. Hadrian hoepd that by naming Judea and all its cities after extinct nations, he could eventually make the Jews extinct. He failed.
