"People" are idiots.
If you choose not to reason, you are an animal. |

Those with intelligence should have seen the expression "We are where we are" means - that we must destroy ourselves because that is what we are doing. And yet America is now become so dominated by extremist rhetoric (Limbaugh lies and some foolishly think Fox News is news) that ... well how many knew about soldiers lying in their own urine in Walter Reed ... known this almost a month ago. That too is no longer important. More important is the political agenda attached to that fact. So instead we deny it or blame it on the Army. As if those enlisted men brought those dog collars with them to Abu Ghriad. |

Prejudice?.. that's not reasoning! Sure is, reasoning means putting the facts together, but your experience, background and opinion, that's prejudice, causes you to weigh the facts differently. While its true some facts are more important, and giving them all the same importance is wrong, just how you weigh them, rank them, depends on prejudice.

Pederast. Actually, I'm not for or against the war. I just find those against the war so much more abrasive than those for it, so I usually take the other side. XOXO, Joe Edit: Properly, I should say that I am much more abraded by those against the war than those for it.

And perhaps their way makes a hell of a lot more sense.

I oppose passion and sicken at politics. In the current state, war opposers appear to instigate both. No judgment there, I'm not saying they shouldn't. Shawnee: Supposing either side has the truth behind them, I think very few people manage to make sense. --Joe

I think this line's mostly filler.

No way to say that the war isn't political, though.

Politics is a race. Now, there's no rule against having a good, moral, and just candidate in office. In the competition to get votes, however, a soul is dead weight and a candidate that carries one simply can not win. I should have said that I sicken at 'politicking'. When Republicans are in power, Democrats play dirty. When Democrats are in power, Republicans play dirty. Whether or not either side is right, they're both playing dirty and that's what I sicken at. Because the Republicans have the inertia, Democrats just have to play it more openly. And, just to say it again, I don't support the war. . .or oppose it. --Joe

Well, it's not like the Dems really have a great track record overall though.
