lol, dude, Guevara fought against Batista, Castro and Guevara were best friends.
Anyway Cortez conquered the Aztec empire while being outnumbered 300 to 1. Even if you've got guns and horses, I still think that's a pretty big achievement.
Yeah, I just found it on mininova, it's got about 1600 seeds and 2900 leechers already :)
Thanks for the news!
It depends on how you look at it. The number of people who died from terrorism in America in the period 2002-2005 has been lower than in 2001. Sure, global terrorism is higher, but it isn't Bush's concern that the Iraqis are blowing each other up. And now American soldiers are also trying to stay out of the heat; insurgents are mainly trying to kill the new Iraqi policemen and recruits. Bush wanted to take the war to the enemy and he succeeded, while saying that he did it for 'freedom' and 'democracy' (and WMDs). It's great isn't it?
People won't copy this. 'War on terror' is a lot easier than 'struggle against violent extremism'. Just some stupid name change. Even Rumsfeld will stop saying it because people don't want their politicians to use difficult sentences.

Oh come on. The Empire was completely christian when it fell. And the christian church actually does tell people to reproduce. Do you really believe that Romans had too little sex back in those days? A lot of kids died because of bad hygiene and disease anyway. You should read this. It isn't really a scientific website, and naming 'inferior technology' as one of the reasons is also a bit harsh, but that just shows that they've taken all relevant reasons into account. Note that 'Romans should have fucked more often' is not listed.

Lol, I doubt that Cuba's on bin Laden's hitlist. Her getting killed by a hurricane is more likely than being blown up by terrorists.
Silly (probably Canadian) screenwriter, of course the earthlings represent the goddesses exploring their womanhood when suddenly the Martians (men) invade and keeping them from experiences of extreme lesbian sexual pleasures. Everyone can draw his own parallels with current affairs. This John Leo guy is the sucker here for actually paying attention to what that screenwriter had to say, thus giving him what he wanted: attention.

We are part of the natural order of things. That's like having an ecosystem and saying that it would be perfect, but the predators are killing the others and making it unnatural. That's the purpose of us. We can't go against nature because we're on the same board game. Though, a lot of people like to think of it as humans as being chess pieces on the Candy-Land board, but we're just the red kid in denial.
You're right, but a lot of environmentalists define 'natural' behaviour as animal behaviour. Then they reason: animals don't keep other species in factories and slaughter them in a mechanized way, so we're being unnatural. I'm saying that other species would have done the same thing if they had the power. And following this logic, saving weaker species is also unnatural, because animals eradicate weaker species whenever they have the opportunity.

The Fallujah strike and the bombings in the early part of the war really boosted the amount of civilians killed by Americans. It's true that if you'd only count those who got killed after Fallujah then the Amercians would have killed less than 10%. Right now about 50 people die daily from terrorist attacks, things have really escalated since the elections earlier this year.

8000 people isn't a few. 22,000 - 25,000 civilians got killed in Iraq since the war started in 2003, 37% of them by Americans. I read it in a local newspaper, and they linked to this site. You can find everything about deaths in Iraq there.

That's what I said later in the post. I think it was clear that I don't agree with killing animals for sport. I agree with animals being maltreated in factories in order to provide cheap meat.
Oh shit, that would be Andrew Bush who did literature. Fuck me, I'm stupid. Bush has an MBA, after being rejected from the University of Texas Law School. Bah - maybe he's illiterate anyway :(

Lol, he got his Ph.D. in comparative literature! How the fuck can an illiterate study literature and get a C.
Back on topic: no, Bush isn't entirely stupid, he did get a C while studying literature, but of course everyone knows that literature is a pussy major compared to real majors like economics, mathematics, physics, psychology etc. (no offense)

It took me 2 seconds to find, lots more where this came from...
Your site isn't proving jack shit.
To be sure, there is no evidence of a causal connection. But there is certainly room to wonder whether Saddam, a master of manipulation, on record as sharing bin Laden's sentiments at least in regard to U.S. involvement in Iraq, would not have been tempted to involve himself in the terrorist boom of the next few years. In principle he was still under sanctions, but Oil-for-Food gave him loopholes through which billions of dollars could pass.
No evidence. Speculations by some one who is with a neo-conservative think-tank (check the author at the bottom of the article). Some company which was affiliated with Al-Qaeda bought oil from Saddam and now he's funding them. Business is business. When a anti-globalist buys a pair of Nikes it doens't mean that he agrees with Nike's view on world economics.
All your article is saying: Saddam could have funded Al-Qaeda. Just like he could have had WMD's. And next time you post a link with 'evidence' don't link to an American nationalist site, because they might be kinda biased.
If God didn't want us to kill animals, then he would have given them laser-beam shooting eyes.
But seriously, some people claim that we shouldn't kill livestock in factory-like buildings because it isn't 'natural'. But of course it is. Do you think a fox feels any remorse when he kills a rabbit for food? No he doesn't.

What happens when rats invade a hard-to-reach island in the Pacific? They eradicate the local wildlife, which isn't strong enough to fight because nature allowed them to sit on their asses for the past centuries. That's nature, that's evolution. Weaker species like dodos and kakapos are being exterminated by stronger species like humans, rats and cockroaches. Trying to save them is against nature.
We treat cows and pigs like machines, but if they had evolved properly then they would have kicked our asses. They didn't, so now they have to pay. It's fair, because we're the stronger species. Now I don't think people should just stuff little ducks in blenders, because that's making animals suffer without a proper reason. Those cows suffer in factories in order to make my food cheaper, and I respect them for it. Providing (cheap) food is a reason to kill, your own sick pleasures aren't. That's where I draw the line. But other than that: animals should be exploited to the full extent because that's what being a dominant species is all about.
Right?

They were dead. One does not survive flying a Boeing into a building.
Sadam was funding them,
Saddam didn't fund shit. Saddam was your warm buddy until he invaded Kuwait without your permission. No one could prove connections between the 9/11 hijackers and Saddam, and I doubt you can.
and then refused to cooporate after questioned about his Weapons of Mass Destruction. What the fuck are we suppose to think/do?
The same thing you're doing with North Korea: not invading. Even if Saddam had WMD's he wouldn't have been stupid enough to use them against the West. He would get nuked clean off the map. You don't punish someone because he might attack you, you punish when he has attacked you, or when you can prove beyond reasonable doubt that he's going to attack you. That wasn't the case in Iraq.

Okay I used google to check: most sites like wikipedia son't say what it's made of except for vague names like1,6-diaminohexane (anyone here know a 1,6-diaminohexane-mine). But this site says that nylon 6,6 is made from oil. Then again, I haven't seen a chemistry text book for at least two years.
Synthetic products like nylon are usually made from oil, and oil is running out so I don't think we will be using that many synthetic products in the future. We'll be forced to use cotton or linen cloth, and maybe wool and silk. Or maybe you don't always need oil to make polymers like nylon, I'm not sure, ask a chemist.

Lol, was that supposed to make sense? And if they actually are all raising their prices then be the one who sells them for the normal prices and everyone will buy your shit, ruining their businesses. The kid was just kidding, looking if some granny was actually stupid enough to buy his juice for 10 dollar. Next time he offers you his 10-dollar juice kick him in the face.
You can't increase the value of your currency. You can print more or less, but it won't make your country richer or poorer. In 2005 the Turkish government replaced the old Lira (exchange rate: 1 dollar = 1,650,000 Lira) with the new Lira, which is the same except with 6 zeroes less. People now earn a million times less money, but it doesn't matter because shopkeepers also ask a million times less, and foreigners buying Liras will pay a million times as much for your Liras.
Inflation exists because shopkeepers will ask more for their wares, so labourers will ask for a higher paycheck in order to buy the same amount of goods. Then employers will make their products more expensive to pay for the increased labour costs, and then the shopkeepers will ask more for thier wares to compensate the higher purchasing expenses. Etc. Your savings will devaluate because there will be money in the land, but that's okay as long as you deposit it at a bank, which pays dividend. Or you can invest the money in stocks. It goes wrong when inflation is a lot higher than what the bank pays. This is good for people who owe other people money, but not for people with savings. Otherwise inflation doesn't really hurt the economy, except you have to keep printing new dollars.
Damn I'm good - those evil corporations couldn't brainwash ME!

We have America, England, South Korea, Japan, Phillipines, Italy, Spain, Denmark and a few other nations supporting the fight against terror.
Dude, don't confuse the war on terror with the war in Iraq. Every nation on this planet supports the war on terror except for a few retarded ones like North Korea. And your list doesn't make sense either way becuase Spain pulled out of Iraq a long time ago and I believe the Phillipines did the same.
Of course it were the French! They were mad about Paris not hosting the 2012 Olympics, so they used their new top-secret weapons (see picture below)
Anyway, I feel sorry for anyone who was affected by these acts. It's scary.. first Spain, then Britain, maybe Holland is next.
