Such is the power of fear.

Give me some honest opinions. I like poetry. I think spoken word is a true art form. But am I a horrible racist because I can't over the fact that THIS GUY IS WHITE? Breh Rabbit? Is he serious?

I agree with what he's saying but I had to watch it a few times.

I wouldn't say that you are racist for thinking that, maybe just a bit misguided. After all, when Martin Luther King, Jr. referenced Thoreau or Gandhi, did his words ring untrue because they were interpretations of the words of another race? True, the tales of brer rabbit, the briar patch, and the tar baby have a bit more of a racial charge to them than anything by Gandhi or Thoreau, but if the analogy is apt, then it is apt. Start with the wikipedia definition of Br'er rabbit and fix that idea in your head. Then, read the original tale. It'll all make sense.

Thanks.

no prob, but bah!! why is my linky thing not working? the html code is fine, but VS must just not like me today

"We show," they write in the Nature paper, "that anthropogenic forcing [i.e., changes caused by human activity] has had a detectable influence on observed changes in average precipitation within latitudinal bands, and that these changes cannot be explained by internal climate variability or natural forcing."

Just in case a few of the cons around here pull their heads out of their arses long enough for air....

"Man-made" global warming is total bullshit. The earth is going to do what it damn well pleases, heating and cooling as it has for billions of years. I will sell you carbon credits if you're still feeling guilty.

"Those who say that the Iraq war has nothing to do with the war on terror seem not to notice that the terrorists themselves obviously think otherwise.

Terrorists are pouring men and military equipment into Iraq, with the help of Iran, and using suicide bombers there for some reason.

Terrorists recognize the high stakes in the outcome of this war, even if growing numbers of people over here refuse to.

To drive the United States out of Iraq would be a huge victory for the terrorists, attracting both recruits and support from around the world, and causing countries around the world to reconsider their ties to the United States.

Much has been made of how long we have already stayed in Iraq, the casualties, and the mistakes that have been made. But both deaths and mistakes have always been inseparable from war.

As for how long we have been in Iraq, the cost of a war is not measured in time. It is measured in lives lost.

While our media are impatiently waiting for the 4,000th American death in Iraq that they can trumpet, and rub our noses in -- in the name of "honoring the troops" -- we need to understand that casualty rates in Iraq are low, as wars go.

If and when that 4,000th American death in Iraq is reached, we need to recall that more Marines than that were lost taking one island in the Pacific during World War II.

During the Civil War, more than twice as many Union soldiers as that were killed -- in one day -- at the battle of Shiloh, and again at Gettysburg.

The "war on terror" is a misleading phrase. It is the terrorists' war against us -- and it is not something that we can unilaterally call off. Our only choice is where to fight it, over there or over here."

QuantumMushroom -

Define who exactly you see as 'the terrorists'
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

I am not anti-war. I am anti-stupidity. And this war is stupid, immoral and illegal, unlike WWII which was a moral and inevitable war.

A war against terrorism cannot be won unless absolute tyranny is the end goal.
The USA occupying the Middle East indefinitely for its resources will result in more attacks against the western hemisphere than there have ever been in mankind's history.

The US needs to get out of the Middle East, radically change their foreign policies, and use their great treasures for peaceful means.


Quantummushroom - this is not a war, it is a TOTAL INVASION.
