Machjo, on 25 December 2009 - 09:27 PM, said: You need the money to train and then hire the resources. A person doesn't just come out of high school as a qualified foreign language teacher. it takes years to train them. Now multiply that on a national scale, or even provincial scale an say it doesn't involve money. I think you are exagerting the timescale. There are many bilingual individuals, and program delivery isn't...

Personally I have found that to be true...but individuals and nations fear the responsibility of success and authorship of their own lives and the life of a nation...Walk and talk like a king and you will be king..but it is lonely at the top..and unbearable at the bottom..best to be lonely than in poverty and persecution..we can not allow further disrespect...

Michael Hardner, on 26 December 2009 - 08:43 AM, said: ....I guess I'm asking about the "who cares" part. If a left-of-centre poster put something on the board along the lines of "who cares if I blow up the homes of this-or-that CEO" do you think I would respond critically ? I think I would. Who cares how you would respond....it's no big deal. "Who cares" implies a general...

What we desire is reflected in how we vote. We don't vote with your vision...we don't seem to want it.

Jerry J. Fortin, on 26 December 2009 - 04:46 PM, said: I am sorry. I meant to say that the existence of both natural and legal citizens is nearly the root of the problem. The legal citizen, that of limited liability and limited responsibility, is a man made creation that is tragically flawed. That is not to say that man is not flawed, but just that we made things worse rather than better with the creation of legal citizens. It's too...

Smallc, on 26 December 2009 - 03:12 PM, said: Politicians shouldn't render judgments in any criminal cases. That's the point. There is a reason that our system was set up with an independent judiciary. It protects the legal system from the whims of the mob. I don't see a lot of lynchings in the US these days. Can't remember the last time I heard about a lynch mob busting a prisoner out of jail. So what on earth are you...

(and an extra one for Argus ..... ) ya wyly, I should have known - I had a previous long-running 'encounter' with this wannabe over an IT related topic... same pattern to the point where he finally realizes his folly is laid bare and reverts to shuckin-n-jivin deflections rather than just slinking away quietly. and, of course, in his latest save-face attempt, he blindly drops another link without comment... given his hesitancy in...

I think he's talking about DVD players....you want real crap? Go to Crappy Tire. They have no name one on sale now for $19.00.

bush_cheney2004, on 23 December 2009 - 11:03 PM, said: You still don't get it...I set you up for the obvious riddle that even waldo bit on....hard. If natural volcanism with SO2 cooling is accounted for in source/sink modeling, how can two orders of magnitude greater CO2 from human activity (with far less "aerosols") in the past 100 years be so relatively benign? Benign to the point where Pinatubo actually cools the...
