    I'm sorry, did we hijack it in the wrong direction, dear kettle?



    the funny part is my threadjackings are followed up by personal attacks (against me) and then some moderator comes along and "cleans" the thread.

    so mods, keep it equal. clean this up.

    Arson? That's just a property crime. No property crime is ever worse than a human-involved crime. I would put things like assault and robbery above arson.



    i'd say intentionally destroying ALL of someones belongings, personal effects, records and home is pretty serious.

    yeah, it's just stufff. but stuff is important.

    theres a difference between molestation and rape... a BIG difference physically.



    having been a victim of neither, i cannot attest as to which is worse but i will argue that the majority of the "damage" in either crime is psychological, not physical. I think the psychological aspect is why it ranks so high on the lists posted so far.

    and they believe... what is good for Halliburton... really is GOOD for the country...




    so you can read people's minds now? seriously, do you have any proof that bush or cheney influenced how contracts were awarded?

    Do a little search, and you won't be surprised to find that women's rights are not that many under the disguise of religion, particularly in the Hajj pilgrimage.



    you're right, I'm not surprised. it's just that your first post failed to convey a complete thought.

    Bluto:
    My point is: If you are going to go to war, to cause young American men and women to make the ultimate sacrifice,



    They are all volunteers doing their jobs to protect their country. More soldiers died on the beaches of Normandy in one day than have died in Iraq. Not that either loss is more significant, people (like you) have grown less tolerant and that's a shame because sometimes, people die when fighting for what they believe in.

    to kill tens if not hundreds of thousands of innocents collaterally,



    this is a gross exaggeration. modern technology, while not perfect, has cut the amount of "collateral" damage dramatically.

    to cause the American taxpayer to shoulder the burdon of trillions of dollars



    what is the cost of doing nothing? what is the cost of letting the enemy get the upper hand?

    while the VPs company and the oil industry are bathing in benjamins,



    Dick Cheney has no ties to Halliburton. You don't like the oil industry, stop driving a car. It's YOUR choice.

    you better be fucking right. Not I'm pretty sure, not the intelligence suggests. I mean not even debateable right. Anything less is unacceptable.



    This is a completely unrealistic and cowardly line of thinking. How certain of ANYTHING are you? When will you draw your next breath? What time will you be home? Facts and reality are often not as concrete as we'd like.

    Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. He is no longer able to render aid to terrorist groups. "Oh Jones... He never did that"..... BS. Every Palestinian suicide bomber's family received a check from the Iraqi gov't.

    It is clear that N. Korea is a threat and a far greater threat than Iraq could had ever been. Yet, the government would not even dare attacking N. Korea as they do have an army that would put a major hurt on the US.



    while the first part of your statement is mostly speculation, the second part is not supported by ANY facts.

    I'd guess that the reason the U.S. hasn't steamrolled North Korea hasto do with North Korea's neighbor and Communist Pal...China. You know abotu China, right?
