I think the point is that one is noticeably more violent than the other right now.

Thanks!

So sorry Corth, that side of fries is now three million.

It's one thing to want real-estate management companies to do things in a way that makes more sense for all of its customers. It's another thing to force them to act a specific manner through the force of government. Still, I would definitely reward a management company that had a no-smoking buildin...

The more socialistic and quote liberal unquote a nation is, the more unfriendly it is to immigration.

Does not a catholic priest in the US military preach violence? He's certainly not telling them to not shoot.

All countries that have death penalty are barbaric, but I am pretty sure Sweden would be the last country in the world to get it, no matter if their opponents had it. To me, it would appear that there is a difference between triple chemical injection death penalty for murderers and live woman stoni...

Ok, thanks for expanding.

I think it would have been a poor political move for the administration to tout finding yellowcake when the public was expecting screwdriver-ready nukes and chemical weapons rockets (even though the administration did not setup that expectation).

Not convincing Telfor considering Bush cited Iraq trying to get yellow cake in Africa as one of the proofs for going to war. Had they found a significant amount of yellowcake, it would've validated that Iraq was pursuing WMD and had apparently acquired a large quantity of a crucial building block. ...

I didn't get past the first question.. If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations. It then gives various agree or disagree responses. I can't agree nor can I disagree with that statement. Economic globalisatio...

I read the article, but I don't understand why if our government found this much uranium, they didn't trumpet it as a victory. Because the spin doctors raised the bar of requirements to WMD. Yellowcake is not a WMD, just a required component to building one. Same thing with the chemical weapons lab...

Journalists have a 'working relationship' with government... which is the reason they continue to exist. Hmm. This patriotic Libertarian might just have to consider making a donation to Wikileaks.

I'm not arguing that they are of equal importance. I'm arguing that you're dismissing them and diminishing their importance without cause, other than to save your insulting argument to Adriorn.

I'm not sure McCain was a better decision. It would still be Bush's 3rd term, and the people would be doubly angry at the Republicans.
