  1. Actually, and seriously, it all depends on how you define "race". I always learned that it's based on genetics. Hence "races" are Caucasian, Mongoloid, Negroid ... and one more, but I can't remember. Plus Jewish apparently because of genetic traits unique to them (which I was surprised to learn).

     

    More recently people talk about "race" more generically, just lumping groups of people together by nationality or trait such as languages (eg Hispanic). Hispanic is not a race.

     

    So you can go argue with scientists but the more proper thing for this argument would be to say that Biden is a bigot, not a racist, because Indian is not a race.

    sorry.... Joe Biden is unfit because he is a bigot :rolleyes:

  2. Wait, what if he has a child who is lost their virginity? Does that make him doubly unfit?

     

    What if Biden died, would he have the experience necessary to be the president of the the Unit... wait, that line of questioning is only good for one party with really twisted logic.

     

    Vote libertarian or Constitutional Party. You'll feel better knowing you didn't sell out and act like a partisan hack.

    How do you know his daughter hasn't lost her cherry yet? <_<

  3. They haven't figured out how to crowbar any Obama "messiah" jokes into the Palin discussion.

    Glad you are focusing all your attention on the child of a candidate rather than asking the hard questions of a junior senator and his ties to Ayers or about his associations with other convicted felons...er real estate brokers and bankers... yeah you guys keep taking the high road :D

  4. I am so shocked that a smart man like McCain would make such a terrible pick for VP. I have to question the guys judgement. McCain has been saying Obama lacks experience and now he thinks this person is the best choice to run the country should he die? I'm floored by this. And she is under an ethics investigation to go along with her lack of experience. From what I have read, her sister was going through a nasty custody fight and the governor tried to destroy his career. Do we really want a person like this in the White House?

    We already had a couple.... Bill & Hill :devil:

  5. However, I think we can agree that the film is so flat-out phony that "fact-checking" is beside the point. :devil: And as for the scary lawyers—get a life, or maybe see me in court. But I offer this, to Moore and to his rapid response rabble. Any time, Michael my boy. Let's redo Telluride. Any show. Any place. Any platform. Let's see what you're made of.

     

    By the same token, if I write an article and I quote somebody and for space reasons put in an ellipsis like this (…), I swear on my children that I am not leaving out anything that, if quoted in full, would alter the original meaning or its significance. Those who violate this pact with readers or viewers are to be despised.

     

    If Moore had studied a bit more, or at all, he could have read Orwell really saying, and in his own voice, the following:

     

    The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States …

     

    There's that ellipsis he despises. Lets see what follows.

     

    Moreover they do not as a rule condemn violence as such, but only violence used in defense of western countries. The Russians, unlike the British, are not blamed for defending themselves by warlike means, and indeed all pacifist propaganda of this type avoids mention of Russia or China.

    He knows Moore isn't doing that or even suggesting it and that's why he deliberately leaves it out. He's doing exactly what he's criticizing Moore for doing.

     

    If Michael Moore had had his way, Slobodan Milosevic would still be the big man in a starved and tyrannical Serbia. Bosnia and Kosovo would have been cleansed and annexed. If Michael Moore had been listened to, Afghanistan would still be under Taliban rule, and Kuwait would have remained part of Iraq. And Iraq itself would still be the personal property of a psychopathic crime family, bargaining covertly with the slave state of North Korea for WMD. You might hope that a retrospective awareness of this kind would induce a little modesty. To the contrary, it is employed to pump air into one of the great sagging blimps of our sorry, mediocre, celeb-rotten culture. Rock the vote, indeed.

     

    Here's a quote from him earlier in the article.

     

    Moore says loudly and repeatedly that not enough troops were sent to garrison Afghanistan and Iraq. (This is now a favorite cleverness of those who were, in the first place, against sending any soldiers at all.)

     

    He never offers that Moore was against the war just that it's cleverness by those who initially opposed the war. So where does he get his own opinion that Moore would be against his sumations?

    better be careful, you may get some repetitive nerve damage on your right index finger (mouse finger) from all that cutting and pasting... :devil:

  6. I am not pefect at all... In matter of fact we (our family growing up) had 4 children that lived... I had a younger brother that died a week after birth... My mother also had 2 miscarriages. My wife went through one... And with our first child, we seriously thought he would be born with Down Syndrome (the amnio cleared it up).

     

    By no means is anyone perfect.

     

    About NOT talking trash... Maybe for Obama and his people... I could care less... And he probably doesn't think ME saying anything is not okay.

     

    WTF... It is a free country.

     

    Of course Obama will take the high ground... Let pukes like me dish the dirt!

     

    :devil:

    Well nothing better than a self aware person.... puke is pretty vile! glad you realize how vile you are :devil:
