Damn.

I haven't had a new chick in 13 years. If my wife did something like to me though... might be time to pick up a newer model :) If my wife did something like that to me I would have to congratulate her on her creativity and a prank well played.

That's probably the only thing she hasn't been plowed by yet. I'm not do sure about that one. I think something like that was in the "SEX" book she published in the early 90s.

There's the rub, a nation cannot be a moral creature, it can only be by its nature immoral or at best, amoral. Only the individual can choose to be moral. The closest any government can be to moral is to protect the individual liberty of its citizens, including the use of violence if need be when attacked from without. Whenever it directs that violent force outward against another group it will do so without the consent of at least a portion of the population. To commit violence in someone's name, yet at the same time against their will is fundamentally immoral.

I'm sure the founders were very grateful for the assistance, but don't get the motives twisted. France didn't help us because it was "the right thing to do". France helped us as a way of fighting a proxy war with England. You know, just like the proxy wars fought with the USSR in Korea and Vietnam and Afghanistan and a multitude of countries around the world in the second half of the 20th century. Best I can tell, we made more enemies in those endeavors than actual friends as the only friends we have in the world with the lone possible exception of Great Britain, are the ones we pay for.

There is much closer history and resemblance between the two cities than most people realize. The only reason Memphis isn't as bad off as Detroit is that we had our period of total domination by a single industry in the pre-industrial era. Detroit was hit much harder by the loss of US manufacturing.

That's my line! :lol:

Sorry...I didn't buy that stuff when RP was selling it and I don't buy it now. Hand in hand? I'm not sure what that really means in this context but what I am sure of is that our fiscal problems, which are massive, and our tax system which is intrusive and confiscatory would not be impacted in any significant amount even if we closed all our overseas bases, stopped all foreign aid and never involved ourselves in anything outside of our own shores. What happens to my next door neighbor does impact me whether I like it or not; what happens to/in other countries, especially those who are our allies, impacts the U.S....we cannot ignore that and if we do we don't deserve any of God's blessings. "Allies" are the entangling alliances our founders warned us against. If one does not form alliances of a political/military nature, then one is not beholden to spend blood and treasure on foreign shores. Maintaining neutrality in deed as well as word is the key. You are correct that we could close all bases and end all foreign aid and it wouldn't solve our fiscal problems. What you are failing to see is that on the flip-side, if we fix our fiscal problems, reduce government to an appropriate size and stop it from stealing from the citizens then the fed.gov wouldn't have the hundreds of billions of dollars it takes to do all of those things. On the subject of the US's action/inaction deserving or not deserving God's blessing, I don't remember seeing "The United States of America" in any of my bibles, to include the non-canonical materials. Attempting to claim the mantle of God's stamp of approval for the political actions of a government of man is, in my eyes, claiming what is God's for Caesar. I believe that when you muddy the waters of religion with the state, religion is loser. The worst crimes committed in the name of God were almost always committed by a government perverting the Word for its own ends. As far as being "deserving" of God's blessings, I've never met a single person who actually "deserved" God's blessing, myself chief among the undeserving. That's the nature of His Grace, NONE of us deserve it but he gives it to us anyways. So if no individual is deserving, how can an entire nation be?

If that hurts your heart, I won't tell you how I feel about the school that claims it. :o

The fiscal and foreign policies go hand in hand. How can you afford to be world's policeman without a confiscatory tax system and overly large, intrusive federal government with the power to enforce its will at home as well as abroad. If it happens on someone else's shores, it is their business, and more importantly, their responsibility, not ours.

JayC is doing such a fine job explaining the reasons why non-interventionism is the better choice that I will add only this; an interventionist foreign policy is really only effective at two things. Those are spending the nation's treasure, and spilling the blood of our young. Neither one is a wise investment.

I thought I was the only one so emotionally opposed to Nickleback. I think a very strong case could be made that Nickleback's "music" can be classified as an act of terrorism by Canadia.

Take a look at Birmingham, AL for a perk at that future.

Uh, I think those honors may go to Insane Clown Posse and Slipknot. :ugh: While ICP may be far more terrible of an act, I would posit that Nickleback's sales numbers and popularity afford them a much wider and therefore more destructive influence. Arguably the biggest band in rock n roll is Nickleback. That says more about the sad state of affairs than I really care to speak aloud.

They actually do have a few good ones. "Saving Me" and "If Today Was Your Last Day" arent all that bad. Probably not out of left feild for them considering their lifestyle but its not about heavy boozing and partying like usual. Nope, terrible. What lifestyle would that be? General douchebaggerness and the fucking ruining of rock 'n roll?

That one song by Nickleback, and by "one song" I mean all of them. They are all the same song and they are all just horrifically terrible.

Be careful what you say, the "Mauve Hand" is watching and they are plotting faaaaabulous plots.

I've seen you do it repeatedly, and no you don't. They usually shut up after that, or they act like you aren't serious. Heh, heh, heh.

Don't forget donkeys. I've seen the FLIR videos of that, lol.

Winnar!

That sounds like a fascinating book OS. I would have to be careful though when I read it as as the hypothesis sounds so believable that I may inclined to accept it at face value.
