    Prince Harry in Afghanistan

    Hmm...so the British, their royalty view it as a duty to at least serve, whereas the French, they don't even send their own people necessarily, they use a legion of foreigners :D

    Twelve-Month Long Drop in Global Temperatures Wipes Out Century of Global Warming

    Yes, I mean, from my understanding, it isn't like predicting global climate is the same as predicting the weather, just on a much more massive scale, but rather an entirely different thing altogether. But considering that they can't predict the weather more than week out with any real...

    Boeing Tanker: Beans, Bullets, Oil, and politics .. and did we mention: politics ??

    Good point, I stand corrected; Mexico is still connected to America, so for that it isn't as big a deal. Whoops, I missed that part; that is good that they are at least keeping the manufacturing in America.

    Twelve-Month Long Drop in Global Temperatures Wipes Out Century of Global Warming

    Regarding predicing weather, remember predicting weather and global climate are two different things. However, a changed global climate will have different weather theoretically, so if they can't predict the weather for the current climate too far out, I don't know how they think they can try to...

    The story was broke by a Austrlian woman's magazine and then a German magazine, read back some.

    Boeing Tanker: Beans, Bullets, Oil, and politics .. and did we mention: politics ??

    I disagree. If the whole world was one big free-market and we all were friends just engaging in free trade, then I can see that. But when it comes to the national defense, outsourcing is a no-no IMO. The cold economic reality is GMC and Ford and Chrysler should just move their manufacturing...

    Twelve-Month Long Drop in Global Temperatures Wipes Out Century of Global Warming

    http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=332289 - more news; according to this, that melted Arctic ice is back. IMO, I think the Sun has a heck of a lot more influence on the Earth's weather than we humans.

    Twelve-Month Long Drop in Global Temperatures Wipes Out Century of Global Warming

    I disagree. If we get record cold temperatures, it is blamed on "global climate change" (if you notice that's the new lingo; no one says "global warming" anymore). If a place gets a record heat wave, it's blamed on "global climate change." Mmm....I might have them mixed up, but I believe that...

    Twelve-Month Long Drop in Global Temperatures Wipes Out Century of Global Warming

    I'd have to disagree there. The ice in the Arctic seems to be melting, and a peninsula off of the Antarctic continent seems to be melting, but aside from that, all current evidence shows the whole of the Antarctic continent to be growing colder. This is significant, because Antarctica comprises...

    Twelve-Month Long Drop in Global Temperatures Wipes Out Century of Global Warming

    The problem is that it's not that simple. I have no problem with taking steps to continuously clean the environment or to fight global warming if it might be a problem as long as we don't trash our economy in the process and/or make it where you're living with the government's tongue shoved up...

    Romney opts out of Presidental Race

    My mistake on the $250,000 thing. My point though is that people often refer to those tax cuts as "tax cuts for the rich" and $250,000 is not rich. It is a nice income, but not rich. Rich is if you're making $250,000 a month. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but those tax cuts I believe brought in...

    Romney opts out of Presidental Race

    Hillary, Obama, both seem the same to me. Both are for higher taxes, "re-distribution" of wealth, "free" healthcare, anti-2nd Amendment, bigger government, "helping" the poor (i.e. subsidizing them), etc...

    Romney opts out of Presidental Race

    I'd have to disagree there. Both Obama and Clinton claim to stand for the middle-class and poor. Hillary is not for the upper-middle class, I mean she has claimed she will repeal the Bush tax cuts which start at salaries of $250,000/yr and up; $250,000/yr is upper-middle class. Personally I...

    California Seeking to Control It's Citizens A/C

    In Arizona at least, they seem to be keeping the street racing punishments based according to personal responsibility. None of those feel-good, "They didn't mean it, they had bad parents, send them to counseling..." types of laws, but "You street race and kill someone and you get serious time in...

    California Seeking to Control It's Citizens A/C

    I think the reason for the harsh streetracing laws now is because the public has had it with street racing and has been demanding the legislators crack down on it. Just a few weeks ago in Scottsdale, Arizona, a street race occurred between a 42 year-old driving a Mercedes-Benz, and a 25...

    :D Yeah I hadn't meant it that way! Let's just agree to disagree on this, but IMO if you spot the book, at least give it a browsing;)

    The book has very extensive documentation and research. Don't close off your mind just because you don't like how something sounds.

    Clinton/Obama vs McCain & ?

    Like I said, I do not have the books with me. I can see why it would seem "conspiracy-like" regarding the book on POWs, that's why I suggest people read it first. But I completely disagree that my Enron argument is based on anything speculative. There is absolutely nothing speculative about...

    Clinton/Obama vs McCain & ?

    I agree it's always better to be able to quote directly from the book (s) but I don't have the books on me, I read them both from the library and they both had to be ordered in from other libraries. From what I remember about Enron though, their primary business was energy trading. They were...

    Yeah the book is controversial of course, IMO read it first though, then draw conclusions. Read The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism.

    No offense taken, maybe I am wrong, I recommend reading that book though. But here in the "Veteran's Issues" section, he seems rather anti-military in his voting; maybe he had other reasons to vote "No" though...? http://votesmart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=53270 10/01/2007 National...

    Clinton/Obama vs McCain & ?

    I don't like McCain because he has done everything he can to ignore the soldiers left behind in Vietnam. Read "An Enormous Crime." John Kerry and John McCain were the key members of a Senate committee that investigated the POW/MIA issue, and they found it was likely that POWs were left behind...

    Huckabee vs. Obama?

    I'm not comparing Obama to Hitler in terms of how Hitler was a rabid nationalist, wanted to kill all non-Aryans, and conquer the world. However, the two are similar IMO in that Hitler was a reknowned speaker who could carry an audience brilliantly. He appeared as a very trustworthy, strong...

    Alright, I might be wrong on these, so correct me if so, but I won't vote for Obama because he is a socialist with virtually no experience for the times we are in, and also questionable loyalties considering he doesn't wear his American flag/lapel (whatever it was, I forget) or hold his hand up...

    Ron Paul

    I don't think closing those bases would be in America's best interests, or the world's. I mean when the next tsunami or earthquake occurs, and every country expects the U.S. military to come save them, well that would be difficult without any bases anywhere. Even the UN is a good deal the...
