And I don't care what anyone says, newborn babies are ugly!

I have to disagree. Babies that are born c-section don't look all that bad.

Kids that come out the natural way - well, what do you expect? That opening dialates to 10CM, my oldest sons head was 15cm at birth!

If I hadn't seen it myself I would not have thought it possible.

Yep, for the most part they all look like...

Evolution is not a "theory", it's fact.

To be nit-picky: Scientific theories can never really be accepted as fact, all one can say is that the evidence seems to support a given argument. In the face of new and contrary evidence, any scientific principle can be proven incorrect.

This (in my opinion) is the reason that science is superior to religion as a means for discovering truth.

I get to see my brand new niece today, yay. Her name is Jyllian, she was born last Tuesday. And I don't care what anyone says, newborn babies are ugly!

Try thinking for christ's sake.

That's my problem. I DO think. I think about more than just what's on the surface. I think about more than, "The corporations are evil and only out to screw the consumer!" I haven't seen any bit of evidence to support the assertion that "It's all about the oil dude!" And since you're such a student of history, I'm sure you also know that the only western nations to benefit from middle eastern oil have been Britain (Iran in the 30's-60's)and France (Iraq 80's-present). The US has nothing to gain economically from Iraq. Oil production isn't enough to be any benefit (why not Canada, Venezuela, Africa or hell, even easier ANWR?), and they have nothing else to offer. You're right it's not about WMD, or humanitarian concerns. It's about gaining a political and military ally in a region where we desperately need one that doesn't play both sides.

If you don't come to teach, learn.

Then why don't you teach instead of propagandize? Judging by how you present yourself, I would've guessed you to be the 15 year old, and Bunk the 35 year old. Perhaps you should stop reading Chomsky and pick up a real history book.

Oh wait, sorry, it was OIL. All OIL! Yay oil! So why am I still paying $1.80/g?

Well why the fuck do you think that is? Or is it too difficult to even reason out that much? Whoever said the petroleum corps have your best interests at heart? Do you have any idea how much more expensive offshore exploration is compared to tapping known, easily accessible reserves? Know what Peak Oil is and it's strategic importance? That IS the strategy - same as it's been since WWII. Try thinking for christ's sake. Try learning something about the petroleum industry and looking at its patterns and the geopolitical history surrounding it.
This isn't rocket science, though people like you make it seem like it's that complex. It's history, available to ANY who actually care to LEARN about it. You want to choose to remain ignorant on a subject, that's your right. But keep your flippant remarks to yourself because it only glaringly highlights your ignorance on the subject in question.

If you don't come to teach, learn.

I'd be crappin my pants on this one.

On the way to Portland there's a bridge over the Columbia where this exact type of thing happened, except that the truck was actually blown off, killing the driver. Now I can't pass that bridge without thinking about how that guy must have felt as he realized what was about to happen to him. What a nightmare.

Well then Halsy, why don't you just save us the problems of spouting this latest tripe, and just show the latest great works of Chomsky.

Ugh, could you atleast try and come up with something 'unbiased' if your going to spout.

Everyone in the know

So I guess everyone "in the know" excludes every leader of the western world (U.S. + Europe), Russia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the U.N. since 1990?

Some people made some educated conclusions that turned out to be correct. It would've been nice to know for sure without an invasion, but I doubt there would've been any sort of closure on the issue without one. Saddam sure as hell wasn't going to give in completely and willingly on his own.

Hazard a guess as to what that might be.

A strategic foothold in a region that has been problematic to the rest of the world since the early 1900's?

Oh wait, sorry, it was OIL. All OIL! Yay oil! So why am I still paying $1.80/g?

I would have gone through with the invasion of Afghanistan and proceeded to rebuild the war torn nation. None of this Iraq ballogna.

I've been doing a lot of research on Afghanistan for a personal project and I think the US should have not diverted their attention to Iraq but rather finish the job they had started in Afghanistan. Afghanistan requires a lot of aid and attention, but the people of the country would be much less hostile to the US helping them and in the long run, it would boost our image a little bit. With a lot of international support and input, a good sum of money and some compassionate nation building, we could turn the nation around from its war torn history. Instead, the country is once again drifting into lawlessness. The US seems only interested in finding Osama. I guarntee you, if we find Osama, we will pick up our stuff and leave, just like we did after the Russians took off.

The story of Afghanistan is a sad one. The nation has been a battleground for almost 5000 years. Now, we have an opprotunity to give it a chance for peace. But with little natural resources or strategic importance, it will probably fall to the side.

Afghanistan could have been a been a shining example of humanitarian care and an excellent example of what can be achieved in the Middle East with the proper amount of compassion and pressure. We could have repaired their country and given them a starting point for growth. But now I fear it is too late.

We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different.

The Bush regime only had one thing to gain in inading Afghanistan and Iraq. Hazard a guess as to what that might be.


Dunno, an $80billion bill for the war?

Maybe they did it for prestige?

I dunno

It will change it by about .70
Bringing the total up to 29.26

Ahh the power of cheese...I mean math! Gotta love being able to go back and add stuff, without having to re-accumulate all your data! It will shift the percentages slightly too, but I gotta go and am off for the night. The rest of you have fun playing with math and getting the new percentages without the original data!

There was no intelligence failure. Everyone in the know, knew the WMD thing was bull. The deception was intentional.

intelligence that dealt with what "may" be there rather than what they "knew" was there.

That is the nature of intelligence. No intelligence is, or ever will be, 100% true. The intelligence on Iraq was 16 years in the making, spanning 4 administrations, and multiple international intelligence agencies. It's much more complicated than, "Bush did this. Bush did that."

Now that I think about it, this would make a kick ass Clancy novel.

Thank you, eunichron but I did a rather large research paper upon this very subject and concluded that the Bush administration could only make their WMD case if they downplayed their own intelligence agencies. Bush may not be the only one to blame but he made the incredibly errant decision and should be held responsible. He was much too quick to go to war over intelligence that dealt with what "may" be there rather than what they "knew" was there. It may not have totally been his fault (*cough* Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz *cough*) but most of the blame rests squarely upon his administration's shoulders.

We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different.

Actually, the HIGH is 46.

I know I don't post that much and I was real busy yesterday so I didn't get to read Blues News, but I am 47.

Does that change the average at all?
