totally agree. on the abortion thing, the woman's life threatened seemed
like a reasonable loophole so I think I said agree."Neil" <OIUOI@OI.com> wrote:

Yes, that's exactly what I'm afraid of...
Mind you I'm actually paying for the car anyhow, so if they take it back
I get even more money, so it's not all bad.
Cheers,
Kim.I'll go in search of both of these. Thanks Jamie and Neil.

Kim.with all the vitriolic comments from both sides of an argument, is it
any wonder we all will eventually resort to extreme measures. i'll be
the first to publicly admit that i would if given the chance, shoot
any christian / muslim, (or what ever religion they are) who will
threaten me because they'll never be satisfied that i have not met
their idea of the righteousness. really, is it just me, or are
criminals, criminals...unless in their mind their interpretation of
god is on their side is the right one to have? you know, god is a
great moral idea, that is until you throw people into the
equation...then it sucks because we suck...always have, always will.
as an ex carpenter i still have access to wood, nails and other
stuff...go for it.
;o)I'm going to rewrite the Bible. We can call it the Mr. Simplicity version. I
figure since some other human wrote the first one and no one can agree on
what it means, and he's just a dude like me, my spin oughta' be cool too.
When you read about the contraption that God builds in order to obliterate
Sodom and Gomorrah, a few things may sound familiar.......

nnections between
the Mec and the EDS card. I'm not sure if you'd get this particular error
message under these conditions, but make sure that your sound card is not
sharing the same IRQ slot as your EDS card. I'm not running XP, but I have
found it helpful to disable my COM ports to free up IRQ resources.

of my points...
- about germany and the possibility that it might NOT have
been a case of complete sucky ungratefulness but a case
of strong disagreement about the second iraq war (even more
likely since germany wasnt exactly the only nation that
didnt agree)? nothing.
- the stuff i say that im interested in instead of
the useless standard bullshit? israel, rabin anyone? anyone
care to loose a word about the only man that ever effectively
reduced terror in israel? nada.
instead, theres this:

right Derek. Everyone misses the point except you...
The only problem with your theory is the fact that Arafat was one of
the chief terrorists, utterly corrupt, and a major part of the problem.
What was wrong, exactly with the plan proposed by Clinton?

Clever words, but it is possible to expel them before nuking them
isn't it? Seems do-able. You send them all to Syria, and nuke the
whole lot of them.

all in the June/July time frame there, so
we'd have been stuck trying to maneuver in well-soaked earth,
while the Autobahns & bridges on West German side would have
been crammed with whatever civilians weren't partying in Spain
trying to get out towards the west, and the Autobahns coming
from the east would have been stuffed full of Russian tanks &
BMP's pinning us against the rivers.
Assuming a completely conventional war, we still wouldn't have
lost the whole war, had one occurred... we had superior air
power, for example, but that takes time to scramble & mobilize
& assist in killing thousands of tanks, and then rearm & refuel
to do more of the same, but we would have lost most of our
ground forces in Europe, and half of what was West Germany
would have been overrun before we could have beaten them back,
that's for sure.
It's a damn good thing that never happened. I dunno how many of
you reading this actually realize to this extent what the deal
really was, but that's what would've occurred. A LOT of
Americans knew this same shit that I just typed, but were ready
to be there for our allies, and I guess that's what pisses me
off sometimes when I hear someone that we were ready & willing
to deal with (& die in) the above scenario in order to defend
talk shit about us... Derek, I don't mean you specifically, I'm
just talking in general terms now.
Anyway, I guess I'm done for now... made my points, tired of
typing, not going to change anyone's mind if they've already
got it made up anyway. LOL

I'm in total agreement here Neil the only problem with your scenario is,
after you've done the first guy....there are 1000 more right behind him and
half of the paying audience who came to watch this smack down is booing you
cause they think you were a little hard on his sorry ass.
This is a religious war being waged by ignorant extremists who for whatever
reason have decided we're the enemy and as we all know once you bring
religion into the mix common sense and rational behavior go right out the
window.
My few is nail the fuckers when you can find them, and make life absolutely
miserable for those who are helping them.
More shit has been done in the name of God and quite frankly I think she's a
tad pissed right about now.
