This is disappointing. MobBoss, don't mischaracterize me as emotional for the sake of defending your own purely emotionally based arguments. I'm going to mark you as ignored now since you've shown you are another of the unreasonable people who deny information in favor of gut feelings. As I said...

I made a post, someone later reprinted it in full with a comment, and that sparked this new sequence. In that sequence I have gone from my statements outlining the reasons for my opinion (first post) to explaining some details of it (second post) and explaining the basis of it (third post). The...

Simply repeating the way you see things does not make it any more valid because you are not adding any new information. Anyway I'm not interested in these kinds of line-by-line games where a post is misinterpreted by being mangled bit by bit in its reprinting. Go find someone else to play with.

Great to know a little more about your military career. I don't have to explain the basic stuff now. The issues of this case are and always were really beyond the scope of a military court martial. That actually IS why certain arguments were not allowed and why that resulted in the original case...

The point you bring up does not bring any kind final verdict condemning Lt. Watada, rather that point is the crux of the entire issue. As an officer it was exactly Lt. Watada's duty to examine the orders he was give for their legality. Its long been established that officers are liable for...

Wow, surprised this is still going. I saw your response before but it wasn't worth replying to. I prefer data to endless talk and your assumptions were in much worse shape than mine after even a little research. Now since I'm not the only one to recognize things this way and you have an issue...

When the 22nd century looks back to the reality of this war and to Lt. Watada's dishonorable discharge it will be obvious the entire affair was a face saving maneuver. He should have been allowed to resign when he applied the first time, instead he got this mockery of a court martial where his...

So now Ratzinger is clamoring for more attention and a greater return to intolerance. Its time to make this one Vatican III, based on the spoiled child's council.

Scale and Impact. The Young Turks killed around one and a half million Armenians, and there were only two and half million Armenians in the entire Ottoman Empire to begin with.

I'd say Omar Hassan al-Bashir is probably the most recent perpetrator of genocide. And thinking the other way around, the award for the first modern genocide goes to the Young Turks, who killed untold numbers of Armenians.

That is a symbol used in set notation. Read it like this: {x | has a certain property} where that property could be anything. Your example means the set of all x such that x is a member or element of the real (?) numbers contained in that interval. Basically, it wants you to find all values...

I enjoyed the first few years of this show because of the variety of the costumes and settings. It all started falling apart they resurrected that archaeologist guy the first time though. His death was a useful plot device and the change in cast did pretty good for a season or so. I liked...

This thread has done it for me. Is there any way in this forum to block posts from particular users so that they are not displayed? I don't enjoy wading through 10 of these poorly written fringe news "articles" a day to find the legitimate political threads that have at least mostly rational...

Sure a nation at war requires its economy to support it, as well as educated professionals in the defense industry and logistics, etc. for back end support. If you pursue goals to for any of that then you can support the war without being infantry, etc. but there is always a need for boots on...

So you can't go yet, go in two years. If you support a war and are physically capable of fighting, then you should go support the war by fighting. Those that support the war and are not capable of fighting should do what they can to support the services and the government fighting. Otherwise...
