undecidedbout08:

I did not say that a call for freedom is an act of oppression. How silly you sound!

I said that Bush's war on the people of Iraq in the false name of freedom is a particular type of oppression. (Unless you consider "freedom from life" to be freedom,…

skipthesong: Depends. Is it in the process of coming, or are you just predicting it?

Bush's literal war on other religions is a current fact, not a possible future worry. So it's fair to describe it as his Christian army.

If you have evidence that the Muslims are currently invading,…

Sarge: I think it's called black humor. It's not really funny if you want a happy life, but in an absurdist and fatalistic sense it's really quite ludicrous.

ReaganLegend: I hate to break old news to you, but the armed forces have a well-known pernicious core of religious zealots who revel in persecuting "heretics".

Calling the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq "an act of war by his Christian Army" is quite a fair call.

But I think…

Bush was quoted before the Olympics criticizing those who "tried to politicize the Olympics", and here he is (as everyone with a jot of sense expected) politicizing the Olympics.

And trying to religionize them, to boot.

I'd say "shame on you, Bush", but I hate chastising the ethically deaf.

Get…

There are some good suggestions here, but we need to be clear. There are TWO factors here, not one.

1) Total weight

2) Cabin space used

Both factors need to be considered with regard to obese people. The first factor should - to be perfectly fair - be applied to…

Public smoking needs to stop. Hope this is not just some pipe dream and they are simply blowing smoke. (groaaaaaan)

seimei, when NK finally develops a big one, they most likely will drop it on themselves by accident.

USA!Patriot: no, you don't see that. Or, rather, you didn't see that while the comment was visible.

What you saw was me being unable to decide if you were serious or trolling. What your brain may have changed that into is something else, but the facts were quite clear.

USANutter: they are not. They are allegedly Socialist states, just like Russia was, but in reality they are just totalitarian states.

That you confuse Communism with Socialism is not surprising, given that you confuse crushing debt with growing economy.

I want to give you points for something, but you can't…
