American-style school shooting in Finland
moderateamericain replied to kengs333's topic in The Rest of the World
Pure fallacy on your part. I live in the most violent city in America. Detroit Michigan. I live and work within the city Limits. I work with 98 percent black americans from the east side of the city and I can tell you right now its not a war zone. I've dropped employees off at there homes if they have missed the bus. You have not been to an inner city in america before have you? -

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety -Benjamin Franklin (Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759) It is not the function of our government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error. -Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1950 I don't find any difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalists. I believe religion is the root, and from the root fundamentalism grows as a poisonous stem. If we remove fundamentalism and keep religion, then one day or another fundamentalism will grow again. I need to say that because some liberals always defend Islam and blame fundamentalists for creating problems. But Islam itself oppresses women. Islam itself doesn't permit democracy and it violates human rights. -Taslima Nasrin (in an interview in Free Inquiry magazine, winter 1998/1999, Vol. 19 No. 1) Live for something rather than die for nothing.

Tale of Two Commemorations - Jewish & Muslim
moderateamericain replied to jbg's topic in Religion & Politics
The point he is trying to get across is that fundemental Islam is inherently backwards and as such it's ignorant, uneducated, generally poor masses are so hooked into the religion for lack of better option. Islam, because of it's own practices, has created a volitale and sometimes deadly culture. He just goes to far in his reasoning. -
Fantasy Hockey Help
moderateamericain replied to moderateamericain's topic in Travel, Leisure and Sports
August your my hero! But just an FYI i guess it ballooned up to 12 teams now. So if that throws off what you showed me let me know. -
Alright so here is the skinny, I'm in an 8 man league that drafts a starting team of 2 centers, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 defense men, and 2 goalies. The problem is I know next to nothing outside of the Redwings about Hockey. This league is for work and the pot is 400 bucks! Now who better to ask for Fantasy Hockey wisdom then a bunch of Canucks!

Understanding social conservatism
moderateamericain replied to myata's topic in Political Philosophy
Look at countries like Australia and the UK and there rising crime rates the more they impose restriction's on firearms. Then look at countries like Switzerland where everyone in the military has an assault rifle in there home. The crime rate in that country is one of the lowest in the world. -
Well, In order to better understand the difference between cities, I reccomend a joint effort funded 90 percent by Canada and 10 percent by me to travel to each city and check out and taste test a delicacy. At the end of said trip I will come back here and report my findings for you all. I like toronoto women. You get the variety there.

Less guns, Less worry about civil war, more government involvment in are lives, more willingnes to take away are freedoms, more confidence to commit crimes. Can't be any othery way, logically -
Palin Derangement Syndrome
moderateamericain replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
This all really boils down to the federal government trying to dictate social norms. Which government has no business doing. -
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,265135,00.html Patients ditch insulin shots I even heard a story (can't find a link for it) about a texas cop who was paralyzed and after a stem cell procedure had movement in his legs. If anyone knows about that please contribute. Its time for the world to wake up and realize two things. Stem cells are not people. They have not even developed into anything yet. IE its not murder. The upsides are just too great for us to not actively explore this.

Thanks Army, I was busy at work and didnt have a chance to respond, since you took the words right out of my mouth I agree 100 percent with your post. Let me also say, I was not responding to your post at all. I would have quoted you UDM. -
Understanding social conservatism
moderateamericain replied to myata's topic in Political Philosophy
No the problem is you think I view guns as on the side of the righteous. The problem with that line of thought is that there is no righteous in a civil war. theres just those that defend themselves and those who don't. -

moderateamericain replied to myata's topic in Political Philosophy
Sigh...alright Myata if you ever live somewhere and somone confronts you with a gun to your face. Try and talk your way out of it. If you think you can rational with people who have a gun to your head and know it your living in a pipe world. The only response to force is to meet it with force. Talk gets you nothing once your government takes up arms against its citizenship. -
Explosion at Pakistan Marriott hotel kills 40
moderateamericain replied to jbg's topic in The Rest of the World
Ahh yes the woes of the world blamed on the USA. I swear to god a muslim could slip on a gang walk on an oil derrick, fall and break his fool neck, and it would get blamed on the US. First of all the war on terror has only in the last month TOUCHED Pakistan outside of political pressure to stop the Pakistan (oops i mean Al queda) troops from firing on NATO troops in Afghanistan then scurrying back across the border. This attack came after Pakistan's president who had been working with President Bush to try to stem the violence was removed from office by the pakistani parliment. So pretty much all links to the war and terror were gone at the time of this attack. More over until we start bombing Pakistan villages I don't wanna hear crap about how they have been touched by the war on terror. Stop blaming everything on the USA and Own up to your own crap. You got a country full of pissed off dirt poor people. Think they might have a problem with that situation? -

Why Doesn't the US Respect Canada More?
moderateamericain replied to jbg's topic in Canada / United States Relations
the factual picture is that we give more aid then anyone else. But some people feel that because of our wealth that our generosity is not enough. I find that funny since it's like a beggar throwing a fit when I give a single instead of a twenty. Looters want to take what isn't there's and scoff at what they do get. Personally I think it's the worst thing that humanity has come up with.
