while it has changed somewhat, I think the founding fathers did a good job of defining the base line of what liberty should be. What they were saying is that you have the right to live in the way of your choosing so long as it does not negatively impact others. Now some clarifications on this...

Give me Liberty or give me death. -Patric Henry Its amazing that this quote seems to have been lost so easily. Frankly I'm shocked that it was not in the first post responding to this thread. Unfortunately as America has grown and the world has changed people here seem to be complaisant...

Sexism is just like any other form of prejudice. Its simply a way of people with poor coping skills of dealing with problems without having to face any actual conflict in themselves. Case in point lets say a guy has poor hygiene and is very selfish. Then lets assume that same guy is logically...

You know I think it would be easier to take the 'pro life' movement more seriously if they focused more on family planning practices and less on screaming at the 'pro choice' lobby at the top of their lungs. Abortions are going to happen either way and did happen even when they were illegal, the...

Hes a spoiled rich kid with no real substance in the army, They ALWAYS talk like racists. Unless of course that is the other prince, in which case he is simply a stupid spoiled rich kid who is NOT in the army and that is more or less the same situation.

You left out the 'its not dying the small surge between when most people could not read and when most people are too lazy or cheep to get the hard cover' option. I had a Doctor who quote from "forest of the dead" but frankly I can't remember it just right, and can't find it so I will avoid...

from 1946 to 1971 we were put back on a gold standard until it was eliminated by the administration under Richard nixon. Even though Reagen claimed to be a proponent of the gold standard the people he appointed to a commission on it were staunchly against it, meaning that he is responsible for...

I will 'die' while downloading my brain into my computer, before I use it to send said brain into every other computer on the planet and taking over the world slowly turning the world into something akin to how the borg may have started. howzat?

Why don't they just hire someone who plays Blitz: the league alot? I mean apparently all you need is a guy who is willing to train his players to throw 50 yards at a time and have his players attempt to injure the starting lineup? Keep in mind this is the extent of my football knowledge, and...

I live in Michigan, so I must speak like a Yooper (Actually, I kinda wish I did) I must know how to fix cars (surprisingly yes) I must hunt and/or fish (yes, even though I am a vegetarian I can do both and fish sometimes) I don't know how to drive unless its freezing rain and a foot of...

Ok first of all you apparently are ill informed about Nam. It started because we went in to help the french back a specific non-communist state which the whole of the western world agreed was better. Thats the problem right there. Your nations are not 'more civilized' you simply depend on the US...

Look, bottom line is that the US is not perfect, but neither is anywhere else. we are complex, composed of many diverse people with many diverse views and opinions. We are soldiers and pacifists, Doctors and Scientists, Lawyers and entertainers. We run every gammit imaginable be it physically...

The fact is we did say we were better and at that moment in time we were better because we had more power, we never lied outright to the people that we had basically invaded, we didn't try to justify our actions. Also as for going into Africa and attacking that's a very American style of...

No, you simply claimed you were doing 'what was best for the savages' and asserting your right as white people who were obviously superior. Britan did the same equivalent thing, it was just ok to be eleitest bigots back then because that was the norm. Even now your talking about helping what may...

But that's why we are awesome. People can forget about what Maggie did or what opression the UK, France, and others have had as traditions for hundreds of years because we do it now. They can Blame us for screwing things up when we get involved OR when we refuse to get involved. The people of...
