LDB, I'm very impressed - I knew if there was anyone who could outdo the chef for most retarded premise or assertion in a thread this week, you would be "The One" ... Congrats Neo ! Let's recap for the home viewing audience shall we: You assert the premise Obamacare is responsible for the...

It appears that such is the nature of politics ..... or maybe just human nature ..... People yelling "Fire !" in a crowded theater are just "making a statement" too ... :cool: Maybe ...... But what is it ? Yeah ..... I'm not really sure where that's coming from exactly ..... but I'm with you...

LOL ...... I think the whole point of debate is to try and reform other's attitudes ...... :D The only other thing I can come up with right offhand, as far as anything else approaching a valid purpose for debate, is exercising the mind .... and maybe the jaw muscles and lungs ..... or in our...

DD, Let me clear something up right from the git-go .... my comments about the psychopathic/sociopathic/anti-social were not at all written with you in mind - although I can perhaps see how you might have felt that they were (maybe in terms of the withholding/restraining oneself thing ?)...

Yuppers ..... Interesting thing about the anti-social amongst us ..... they are often very well aware that being just a little bit too vocal with their thoughts and intentions causes the red lights, bells, and whistles to go off in their fellow man ..... As a consequence of this awareness...

One can only imagine how much it was impinging for you ..... and how much it took for you to restrain yourself ... :rolleyes: Well, unfortunately (for you), as a point, it is a bit of a strawman argument or comparison if you will - in that, in that the individuals to which you refer were not...

Quite true - as the vast majority of the population is relatively sane and are not psychopathic ..... and are therefore not inclined to actively wish or intend harm to their fellow man .... There is a relatively small minority which are not like the above, and out of them there is an even...

What is your evidence for this conclusion ? Got it ..... ;) Well, it would appear that you are a relatively sane and rational human being ..... Congrats ! :D Indeed ..... :rolleyes:

Who are you referring to ...... Obama ? ..... or chefdennis ? :confused:

Yup, pretty much. Not only that, but again, as in the case with Korea, we refused to abide by the Geneva Accords (1954), struck between France and the Viet Minh (which the US had actually funded at one point), which promised a general election (to held by July 1956) to determine the government...

JJ, I've always found that while starting somewhere in the middle, or even at the end, can be a very good device as far as storytelling goes, the beginning is always best if one's purpose is cause others to understand ..... ;) By all means, have at it ... I have no idea specifically where...

The sane reason would be to avoid ultimately having to swing .... ;)

Want even more irony ? Try this one on for size: "In November 1943, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Chiang Kai-shek met at the Cairo Conference to discuss what should happen to Japan's colonies, and agreed that Japan should lose all the territories it had conquered by force. In the...

Some Random Thoughts Well said, for the reasons stated: There was no declaration of war (our country was never attacked) Further, we (as part of the Allies) were directly responsible for creating the conditions which allowed this war to develop - by multi-laterally deciding at the Potsdam...

I wouldn't want to bet against you ..... One can only hope that if that is what he gets, that he decides to spend all of it under the rock originally he crawled out from .....

What is ? The fact that so many are sucking at the public trough ? ..... or just the fact that someone from the "wrong religion" might have the audacity to join in with the herd ? :rolleyes:

How's come there no emoticon for blowing you a virtual kiss ? :p Give my regards to the other DD ... hope the both of you - and all who've entered and read here - have a Happy Thanksgiving. ;)

Ok - I'll admit it: I'm a sick and twisted **** :D ;)

Uhhhh ...... yeeaahh ..... of course it does .... Jeez .... do we gotta explain everything ? :rolleyes:
