You criticized somebody for citing the Crusades but then you cite something which happened, I believe, primarily in the 9th century? Ok...

Excuse me, but the burka is part of their religious beliefs. Women are not forced against their will to wear burkas, the great great majority do it because it represents their faith. Don't project our feminist values onto another culture just because you see their clothing as oppressive. It is part of who they are.

I would not do anything about people that want me dead. I would not travel into their neck of the woods, where those people might actually kill me. And yes, I know you're going to respond with the people who died in September 11...but hey, on the absolutely miniscule microscopic chance that I am killed by an Islamic person while here in America, so be it. I had a nice run. Seriously, I am 100 times more likely to die in a car accident today than to be murdered by anybody, so why worry about people who might want you dead 5,000 miles away? I would not justify the death of thousands upon thousands of American and Iraqi troops and Iraqi civilians at the expense of killing a small faction that wants to cause destruction.

They don't raise their voices in disapproval because those who raise a voice against the government in these theocracies/dictatorships are shot on sight.

So you're one of those people huh? Joe McCarthy reincarnated...You take every statement that doesn't say "freedom ain't free" or "we have to protect ourselves and our families against the evil-doers" and you associate it with sympathizing with the enemy. Those tactics worked in the 50's but I like to believe that maybe people are most rational these days. I'd like to see an America where folks don't use fear as a tactic to tear people down.

Those are two isolated and extreme cases. Of course I wouldn't want THOSE people to be President. But I also wouldn't want a Klan or Black Panthers member to be President. There are extreme examples in every race. My point was that it's wrong for this person the OP brought up to use the word "Muslim" as if it's some racial slur and that we should be afraid of them.

That may be true in the Muslim world, but I'm sure it would be a different case if you're dealing with an American born person of Muslim descent. Your behavior is determined by the culture you grew up with, not the ethnicity you are. Muslims do not have a genetic quality which makes them more religiously zealous.

So we should kill all radical Muslims? How about radical Christians who parade around saying we should nuke the entire Middle East and rid the world of the heathen scum? Should we find and kill all of them too?

Some people in this country just drive me insane. Denouncing Barack for being a Muslim is a good way to simultaneously show that you are both ignorant and intolerant. It proves you know nothing about the candidate and that you think a person being Muslim is a bad thing, as if it would be wrong to vote a person of Muslim or Arab descent to be president.

+1 And it's a great feeling isn't it? But yeah, if that best available player is a DE, it's definitely a plus.

The Flyers look absolutely pathetic this year. Though not as big of a train wreck as the Lightning. I hope that d-bag Barry Melrose doesn't come crawling back to ESPN after his can gets fired.

It's good to have a plan for the future.

And why do we only get 3 choices?

Oh wow, I didn't put 2 and 2 together. I should have realized The Sporting News and The Sporting News Today were part of the same entity. My bad for being dumb.

Wow, I wasn't expecting much from a daily online newspaper, but that was a very good read and it seems they do an excellent job with their product. My question is, how do these guys make money if the subscription is free? I mean, the paper is very in-depth and lengthy, and they do it every day, so it must be their full time jobs right?

Hahaha "Buffadorks"...this guy sounds like he's the bad guy from a cheesy 80's high school movie He has to work on his insults before trolling his opposition's fansite.

Even better, I've got a free ticket to any game I wish to attend (season long press pass)

Yes, GO BIG RED indeed...upsetting football loss to Colgate on Saturday. I'm the most interested in women's basketball, as I do their play by play announcing. Unfortunately, the best player on the team just quit so she could focus on track. Might not make it back to the NCAA tourney this year. And I probably should be at Uris. If only I could major in TBD.

F.W. de Klerk was instrumental in ending apartheid, regardless of his motives or what kind of man he was. And Arafat, well it's wrong to say he's redeemed, but the Oslo Accords were a pivotal moment at the time and I won't say those men didn't deserve the award. On another note, you seem intent on flaming me and calling into quesiton my intelligence on several topics...did I do something to offend you? I mean, in all fairness you could have stopped at "Arafat redeemed? de Klerk?"

I never said I wouldn't vote for McCain because Palin is unqualified, I said I wouldn't vote for McCain because Palin is an absolute idiot. I said that Palin lists the PTA as a qualification of leadership. That was an example of an asinine thing she said, not me attacking her qualifications. Obama, on the other hand, is both intelligent and an eloquent speaker. I'd much rather have an intelligent/capable person in office than one who is qualified. You are acting as if I said I was going to vote for McCain until he chose Palin. I said that I was undecided, but leaning toward Obama and that this pushed me over the edge. Also, I lost respect for McCain when he chose Palin. Clearly, he didn't choose the best candidate for VP, he simply chose somebody who he though might garner some celebrity and perhaps steal the votes of some Hillary supporters. (This worked for a while in the polls, but doesn't seem to be any more.) And no, I'm not a Hotelie, but don't disrespect them because they work hard just like everybody else here. Besides that, I won't pander to you and defend myself as an intelligent person against your insults. From what you said about sending a check to Cornell, I'll assume you went here? Frankly that makes me more worried about the alumni than the current students.

well they move in the sense that the Sun also "moves"...they appear to move due to the earth's rotation...and from a practical visible standpoint, thats analogous to movement in another regard though, the universe is expanding and EVERYTHING is moving

Yeah, a great man but unfortunately not so effective as a president. I say when you get a Nobel Prize, you're redeemed though

It depends upon how you define "fan". Given the sheer population of Toronto (It would be the 5th largest city in America), that statistic might be pretty close to true. But in terms of season ticket holders, people who live and die by the Bills, and people who never miss a single snap of a single game...those people are relatively concentrated around WNY and the surrounding areas.

I hope, for your own sake, that this is tongue in cheek. If a candidate is not even smart enough to PRETEND that they know a single periodical (honestly, she couldn't even bullsh*t an answer and say she read Newsweek or the Wall Street Journal or anything), I don't care if that person is a woman, man, hermaphrodite, or what have you...I am NOT potentially making that person the most powerful person in the world.
