The Youth like Ron Paul for the same reason they like Obama, they have an ignorant and shallow view of politics and the world, in general.

Paris was taken by the Nazis without casualties too... that's what happens when you surrender to a foe who would otherwise wreak havoc on you if you resisted. It would be foolish to consider accepting surrender as a sign of the overall benevolence of the conqueror.

The Bani Qurayza were slaught...

I remember getting vertigo more as a child, it happens rarely that I get a severe attack, where the room spins, but I'm always sympomatic, which appears to be very rare. There's not a second that I'm not dizzy, I am sometimes more dizzy than at other times, usually after a sudden dizzy spell, whi...

I'm canadian with no doctor; mine retired at the age of 82 and there aren't any others. I have constant dizziness, whenever I'm able to see a doctor to be sent for test or a specialist, I usually have to wait months, and then a couple weeks for results, when it's determined that specialist can't ...

I think it's nice to want 2 promote understanding, but it's not only people who "don't know the Qur'an" who interpret it as violent. I suspect the true motive behind Muslims wanting to foster "understanding" is proselytization since they seem far more ardent in correcting non-Muslim views of Isla...

I'm actually French Canadian, so my history is a little different - we lost the war with Britain, and were made subjects of the empire.

International monitors looked for signs of voter fraud, they didn't control the elections, or have any say in the governance of Iraq. But, I don't believe there...

The "dude" is George C. Scott, the guy who played Patton in... Patton.

Google's a corporation, you've made them money by visiting this site and viewing ads, if you want to be a badass rebel like Che, go starve in the jungle, and get malaria. Only then will you be free from your corporate overlords.

The Iraqi Health Ministry's figures for the death toll of the war are between 100 000 to 200 000, so yes, including Iraqis.

I heard people repeat the 1 mil. figure so often that it made me really curious, and it seems, the people who use the figure don't even know the source of it themselves, w...

Ahmadinejad never refers to Israel as "Israel", he always refers to it pejoratively as "the zionist entity" or "the zionist regime". And since zionism was a movement to establish a homeland called Israel. It's pretty obvious what he meant, and only an ignoramus or a liar would try to convince peo...

rofl! =)

The only people who go broke in any circumstances, are those who take risks, either with their personal finances, or by not insuring themselves. Most Americans, more than Canadians, in fact, r happy with their health insurance, that's a fact not often quoted. If Canadians do say they enjoy their ...

"The sun god needs sacrifice", ok, bud.... what can I reply to that kind of nonsense?

Rage Against The Machine fans.... supposedly against social inequality, but defend human sacrifice to stone idols, and totalitarian thuggery...

The question I would ask you is, would you support keeping military spending at a level that ensures america has the strongest military? As America reduces defense spending, other nations are increasing theirs. Libertarians often say that state militias can fulfill the task of protecting the nati...

Compared to whom? Montezuma? Why were natives so willing to side with Cortes against him? It was because Cortes offered them protection from his tyranny. Montezuma used to regularly send out raiding parties to collect people as taxes to be used as human sacrifices. The spanish weren't angels, but...

In Khalid Sheik Mohammad's own words: "It would have been an honour to fight you for your infidelity alone."

Now, you may find it hard to believe that Islamists hate America for its freedom, because you simply can't understand or empathize with that position. But, look at what Islamic fanatics ...

You realize Saddam Hussein was both capture and executed while George W. Bush was still president, right? The fact that you gave Obama credit for that, when he campaigned on retreating (and thankfully changed his mind when assuming office), proves his followers are delusional. And I use the word ...

Do explain for everyone how billboards apparently take retinal scans of every onlooker to appropriately tally the amount of revenue they should generate.

Well, billboards don't generate revenue based on the amount of times you look at them, but websites do.

Sorry, it's just a fact that even if you had a 100% tax on the top 1%, it wouldn't be near enough to cover government spending for 1 year. Something like the top 10% of earners contribute the majority of federal tax revenue already, so this class warfare stuff is just a rabble-rousing distraction...

I ordered mine the 20th, with an estimated date of Feb 15. They told me today that my pc hasn't been built yet, that the parts are still backordered.

It's quite different.... the only comparaison I'll concede is infanticide and abortion. I've often made the argument myself that considering abortions progressive is ludicrous since abortions were carried out by barbarous peoples in ancient and medieval times. Today, the majority of babies diagno...

played the demo on PS3 and Xbox 360, it looked like the PS3 was running it sub-HD, probably 600p, while the 360 was running it at 720p.

The amount of people Christians burned at the stake for heresy, as well as for idolatry, does not remotely compare to the number of peoples ritually sacrificed to idols by the Aztecs. It's simply an unfair anti-christian polemic - and to preempt your prejudice; I'm an atheist.

Oh, c'mon, "geographically illiterate"? They obviously mispoke... it happens. To Democrats and Independents, and Russians. No need to run an absurd anti-american propaganda piece about it. What utter crap for journalism.

YOU'RE THE MORMON!

And yet, it's the basis of cultures which have had the highest quality of life, and of freedom in human history.

The Teaching Company offers lectures on the Middle-Ages, including Early, High, and Late periods by Philip Daileader, and he's just awesome.

I ordered mine the 20th of january.. they called me Feb 3rd to tell me the parts are backordered and I need to wait an indefinite amount of time for them to ship it.....

To have faith means to have trust. A Muslim has faith that Muhammad is the prophet of Allah, or has faith that following his example will do them good. They, thus, have faith in Muhammad.

Also, producers of kitchen knives should finally have to include the cost of the funerals of people killed in domestic violence using their products.

I'm no fan of Sarah Palin, but I think she can muster more than saying "moron" to defend her positions.

But, hey, if I shared your opinions, I'd dodge & evade any challenges to them as well, after all, your position is intellectually and morally indefensible.

I still maintain hope that u have...

@mybossisafatbitch Any group of people that votes 97% one way must be viewed with scrutiny. Also you see how this man treats a black republican. Any black who doesn't vote thd same way as thd other 97% is called an uncle Tom.

How do you explain the fact that the hatred preceded the bombings? Al-Qaeda is made up largely of saudis, egyptians, syrians, and north africans - in other words; peoples from places never before at war with the U.S., nor bombed by them.

Btw, if you believe them to be primitive, then why can't ...

Then correct me where I'm wrong...
