Are you arguing with me or agreeing?
sharing in a conversation with a fellow Quake traveler on the current political scene?
At one point, I did state that I believed it to be a mistake to view the opinion of the non US part of the world as having one cohesive voice, and I thought that was part of the argument you made in the post I was addressing. So on a superficial level, it may appear that I am arguing with you.
I don't necessarily disagree with that post, however. If, hypothetically, uhm, extremely, hypothetically, Arnold became the US President it is likely that there would be an uproar. But I do question the relevance and the universality of such an uproar.

was just a reaction to the ten thousanth time I heard the comparison of George W Bush to Adolf Hitler. It gets my blood boiling to hear such rubbish.
If you have to compare Bush to any past leader, it would be Benito Mussolini, but the comparissons to Hitler are just grossly unfair.

The US seems to have 2 gears: isolationist (bad) and invading places (bad). When we say we want you to be part of the world community we really mean we want you to come out to play and to STOP FUCKING BOMBING THINGS.

Need A Little More Art Help...
#6052 posted by ProdigyXL on 2004/11/08 08:26:21
Hey guys I need to write a paper on types of text styles. Specifically I need to find examples from the following list and write on their differences between them. Here's the list...
Old Style
Transitional
Modern
Egyption
Sanserif
Miscellaneous
I know some of you are art kids and I thought you might have links to information on those types. I've googled a lot on the subject but have really failed to find any articles on the subject of value. Perhaps some of you have links to some better information. The paper is realitvely easy, just have write 4 things about the font aesthitically, and then 4 things on a more objective take, such as mood. It's not a difficult assignment but I haven't gotten the book for this class and I was hoping to avoid needing too.
If you guys can help out, it'd be super cool. Thanks
Yes Agreed

Let us discuss neck pains instead.
So I sit here, and I kinda stretch my hands in the air, and snap, my neck is stuck at a 10� angle to the right.

'isolationist' has always been a derogatory term to describe those who prefer peace and free exchange. It was a smear used against Dean by the George W. Roosevelt partisans last year just as it was a smear against Senator Taft during WW2 when many here did not see a dimes worth of difference between Hitler and Stalin but the later had a built in constiuency in Washington, DC.
Omg

"Isolationism" is not a derogatory term for those who prefer peace and free exchange, it's a derogatory term for people who never get involved in helping anyone unless they get something out of it. America in "Nation Of Selfish Bastards" shock!

America in "Nation Of Selfish Bastards" shock!
Who are the most giving and charitable to their causes and the answer will overwhelmingly be Americans.
I hope that the current state of affairs does show to my fellow Americans the great deal of ingratitude that exist out there, and perhaps then they'll come around to a more traditional American stance.
Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.

sorry to hear that.
Mix whiskey, honey and lemon juice in equal proportions and down it. It will at least clear your head up.

Errrr yes. Flu and things:
When you wake up early and feeling shit in the morning, straight away take some painkillers, gargle with antiseptic and clear your snot out, then go back to sleep and when you wake again you should feel better.
Drink lots of water. Headthumps recipe is good too.
Spicy food can be good (but not too heavy). Echinacea (sp?) is a good immune system booster.
Hot baths can be good, but a sauna/steam room is better (don't overdue it tho).
Sorry if any of this is patronising but I suffer enough colds in this dank festering country so have nuff sympathy.
