i'm not sure you're understanding how comparing similar situations in order to address a topic or line of inquiry work.
...or videos with verifiable context and facts.

You cant warn people you are going to Bomb with a Surprise Bombardment can you? NO then Tzipi Livni must be lying!
the US dropped leaflets in Iraq warning of the bombing intended to take the gov. by surprise and shock and awe them into submission. You cant warn people you are going to Bomb with a Surprise Bombardment can you? NO then the US must be lying!

that doesn't really address his post.
gakh, dreams of people i know doing themselves in and waking up with a headache makes for an unpleasant morning.

meh, the first part kinda makes sense, but the Judaism needing Israel doesn't... for the most part.

proven and suspected are not equivalent. they are nowhere near equivalent. please don't try and use this as a source of argument, i won't reply.
unless you do some mind-blowing feat of reasoning and enlighten us all... but it'd probably be off topic anyway :(

i think large nuts (lol) to small fruit are more representative.
there is a relation between size intelligence, but its ratio to body size (me has more brain by pound than stoopid whale!)... and its not particularly indicative of intelligence in humans.
i think i had read something about women having both smaller brains and brain/weight ratios yet scoring higher than men on some test... [which i can't name or give more details about :( ]

roflmao. that was absolutley brilliant; definetley how to support a rhetorical point.
Somoene has proved. although ignored many other things like the reason for the nukes.
you have no idea what that report says, do you?

When has this occurred before?Practically every time there is an "unexplained" thing like that in the news. Last year there was a spiral in the sky that was a sattelite and sure enough, people started speculating the very same day about how it was a missile and a rocket and all that bullshit.
Every time there's a weird sound in the sky, a blob of light, an optical illusion, a weird storm cloud and so on, people start making shit up about aliens and secret military plots.
actually it was a rocket malfunction that caused people to claim aliens, but your point still stands.
... if its the Russians again, why don't we know? we usually have an extremely good idea as to what the Ruskies are up to ... especially when they tell us what they're doing.

roflcopters; a century ago secularism was not an aspect of European culture. half a century prior to that, nationalism wasn't a European concept...
but i guess its important we preserve Europe as it is now, since its important and the best evar!
what if we assume Islam is evil and plotting to take over the world? would we be able to get back to discussing why Al Jazeera merits being censored; as in does it support and/or promote the dominance of Islam or terrorists being right, etc...?

what if i told you Bush blew up the towers with his government's Jew lasers because they were blocking the light from his home star? where are your pills now?!?!

this will fix everything with no negative consequences
price controls have always worked in the past
judging by their press release, they aren't interested in price controls... or rent for that matter, just Jews (and their effect on the economy?).

the problem is that we all have to be taught how and what to think if we are going to live in our society. that's my main issued with the focus some individuals have put upon the "indoctrination" into religion; how we perceive and understand the world is taught to us.
this being said, raising children to have world views that are incompatible with the society they live in is a questionable thing to do.

and which is what has me confused; what kind of Islam do you have in Europe that it requires all this attention to stay civil?

the taliban's targets include civilians as well as military ones, though civilians do sometimes get the benefit of being intimidated rather than simply killed (why kill someone when he can forcibly work for you?). sounds pretty terroristy.
ha! i'm a scared, little white pumpkin.

Which is removing key Taliban members from the "terror blacklist" and releasing Taliban members from Guantanamo Bay,I love how you phrase your opening sentence to suggest that the US is being obstinate while the Taliban is making a perfectly reasonable demand. Do you have a hard-on for Islamic fundamentalists or do you just hate Western civilization?
well that was pretty much what i expected, and shows that terrible things aren't the likely outcome of negotiations. US listens, Taliban make unreasonable demands (i need talks with Al-Qaeda just to hear how batshit insane their demands will be), US walks back to its howitzers.

it makes sense when the border crossing for trucks carrying goods are held up for hours in hot weather.
though i can't explain why previously OKayed shipments get held up so long.
so last i checked my laptop wouldn't start up without reinstalling the OS. i bring it in to the store so they can solve my problem (i'll be damned if i kept cds in order) and it starts up without issue. gxtafalkjsdf?

i find that odd when i consider that i went to a Catholic high school (established by Jesuits no less) which had no issue providing fair and unbiased instruction on the basics of various faiths as well as questionable Church moments (yay for the fourth crusade!).
and religious courses were still just a tiny part of school.

Unlike the vast majority of Middle Eastern states, Albania and Turkey are secular. The main problem is when people want to integrate the state with religion, whether they're violent or not.
oddly enough they pulled it off for centuries before any communist revolution.
