[View Quote] It still is the lone super power... it has been since the end of the cold war. You
can't refer to a continent as a super power so "Europe" would be irrelevant.

European Union is a union of countries, you can't have countries make a country.

I hope you don't have platoons of 1 troop. This is the same excuse people use to
claim China is a super power. Just because you have mass numbers does not mean they
are trained to fight. I'm sure one US soldier with a rifle and a lot of ammo could
mow down a couple hundred thousand Chinese before they ever reached him. (China
doesn't have enough weapons for every soldier as far as I'm aware)

Please. I'll say this again, if you don't take risks, something worse could happen.
The UN doesn't do squat, they found empty shells that weren't declared in the weapons
report. Why would you not put empty shells on the weapon report? Well obviously you
could load warheads into there. It makes you wonder what he _did_ lie about. Gee
could maybe he have some other empty shells that, just happenstancely, a nuclear
warhead fell into it; or maybe a botulism toxin warhead?

[View Quote] Gee, no crap. Iraq lied? Who would've thought that... Like I said, they lied about
empty shells... why not lie about real weapons?

[View Quote] No. Anyone with half a brain would know how to inventory correctly. If the UN
weapons inspectors can find them, they're not hidden too hard not to notice.

The point is the LIED about EMPTY warheads. That strikes me as puzzling as why would
you lie about a weapon that can't do anything but make a pile of dust? Now, if they
would lie about _EMPTY_ ones, why oh why couldn't they lie about warheads that are
completely armed and ready to be used?

[View Quote] But you can make no law in favor of religions. If one does, you would be violating
that freedom; you would see these customs and regulations in schools as such as
trying to violate your freedom to believe your god is the only god, etc etc.

There should be a line drawn over frivilous lawsuits though. Prayers in school
should not be allowed for a school wide event, but if a student wishes to go into a
room alone and pray, that should be ok.

[View Quote] Maybe in Europe. Not in America. You can walk naked, be naked, do anything but have
sex naked in public. Sure, some of the smaller towns have laws against it.

You're certainly allowed to have several wifes or husbands... that's a personel thing
as well. Adultery is a reason for divorce here though. We don't have to put our
hand on the bible.

Maybe Europe is more religious than America; the irony.

Someone would cry out that it's foul, but there are certainly no laws against it.
There _are_ nude beaches in some parts of the US. As long as you are not using
nudity for your own personal gain, aka prostitution, it's allowed as far as I'm
aware. I'm sure people in NYC could care less... excluding those... weirdo christian
fundamentalists that just happen to be some old woman most of the time. Coincedence?
I think not.

Pretty sure it's not a crime, although the IRS doesn't like it too much, I'd suppose.
If your wives/husbands don't bring you to court there's no case. One could just say
"ok, I'll marry one and the other ones aren't my wives(husbands); just roomates" and
it's perfectly legal if bigamy isn't allowed in the area.

They used to hold the bible... now it's just hold your right hand up and agree to
"swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Some still
use the older rendition which adds "so help you god" at the end. Then again, some
courts still use the bible too.

Mmm, well here in the states that's handled on a per state basis. So if you get
married in Colorado you could go to New Mexico and get married again since they don't
have your name on file.

Well... if you're swimming in the Amazon you better hope you have one on, and it has
no rips in the lacey underware stuff.

[View Quote] Nope, there's a parasitic fish that detects amonia an urea (which are emitted by the

[View Quote] Give me a break. I don't need a freaking store from you. When someone says things
such as:
"you people have akingdom and blupearl you don't need me nor do I need you! later
much!" One feels that they've been childish. You've yet to prove me wrong besides
to send your little spammer boy out on a rampage to piss on people then say "you
don't know me" like any dipshit 12 year old would say if he were brought on Maury
Povich and said "you're out of control."

What you also don't realize is not everyone can bend to your whim. You trusted
someone you probably shouldn't have trusted and now you have to pay the price. You
have to be very careful whom you select as friends, it seems you are not doing this
(NCC for example). If you want us to care, don't have the people representing you to
call us idiots, assholes, yadda yadda yadda.
