![]() "Jim Weir" wrote in message ... There are arguments that will go on in the newsgroups for WEEKS about netiquette, and whether top posting, bottom posting, or intermediate posting is the "right" way to do it. What everybody agrees on, though, is that to reply to a very long post with a sentence or two at the top or the bottom is a waste of bandwidth. Notice that everything in the message you sent back to me EXCEPT the part that I am replying to is "snipped", or deleted. Especially if you bottom post, having the whole group arrow down to find a one-liner is a waste of bandwidth AND time. Jim (smackey) shared these priceless pearls of wisdom: -ok,ok-what is "snipping"? But it is polite to add snip in place of the text that was snipped... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Oh yeah, I remember reading about it. A place called Abu Graib seems to be
a true stronghold of democracy in Iraq. What drivel. Do you judge California's democratic "progress" by what happened to Rodney King? In a country of 25 million people, and an Army of 150,000, stupid stuff happens. Abu Graib was an anomaly, a bump in the road to democratic rule, and the perps are going to jail. Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under Sadaam's rule. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Just out of curiosity, suppose you had continued on toward your airplane.
What would they have done about it? Remember the actor in the first "Terminator" movie who played Linda Hamilton's lover/protector? The guy who became the father of the future John Conner, leader of the rebellion against the machines? The Secret Service guy who was blocking my path looked EXACTLY like him, only bigger. Much bigger. And he kept talking into his lapel. He didn't look the kind of guy I wanted to argue with... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Remember the actor in the first "Terminator" movie who played Linda
Hamilton's lover/protector? The guy who became the father of the future John Conner, leader of the rebellion against the machines? So, you are saying that if you had messed with him, it may have tired him out. Then, if the opportunity had come up, he would never have had the energy to "get busy" with Linda Hamilton that night, and John Connor would never have been born! The implications are tremendous. To coin a phrase, "you can go crazy just thinking about this stuff!" Jay, you've saved us all from a future of being ruled by the machines.

That would be an even bigger waste of time than my first response.
Besides, I'm pretty sure he kill filed me long ago. mike regish "Graham Shevlin" wrote in message ...

And your faggot, coward loverboy Bush is the biggest, phoniest asshole I've ever seen. It's people like you who **** up the bell curve and make it possible for such lying sack of ****, self serving liars to get in office to begin with. Oh, I see. You don't have a logical argument nor position, so you are forced to use sexuality slurs and reduce yourself to homophobic language as you call somebody names. Would you shout those same words in the streets of your hometown, Northhampton? Or do you reserve your toughness for behind your very tough keyboard? CJ had no semblance of an argument or position, and simply uttered a long list of assertions and slanders. Go back and ask CJ to justify his garbage. Then I'll be more impressed by your complaining. |

If your world has a freed public in Iraq, it is certainly very different from mine. Don't read the papers much, eh? There's this thing called "democracy" growing over there. What???!!! Give it time -- it might catch. Snide Answer #1: Yea, we could use some democracy over here...seeing as how our current President was not chosen democratically. Snide Answer #2: Oh, you want other countries to have armed militias and mobs running around blowing up anything that moves? |

More than 95% of the Iraqi countryside is enjoying freedom right now. The only parts you hear about on the news is the bad parts. 95% land area? Which means, what, 10% of the people? Probably 0%. I'm thinking if I'm Buddhist, or Christian, or even the wrong Muslim sect, I'm probably going to get killed if I don't leave the country right quick. Some freedom. Kinda reminds me of Ford: "Any color you want so long as it's black." |

We'll know the same way we knew when Viet Nam was over -- we'll coldly turn our backs on our Iraqi allies, and cut and run. Like we turned our back on our European allies when they dared to disagree with Big Brother? We have no Iraqi allies. We have no allies at all in the Mideast, just opportunists who may have momentarily aligned with Big Brother, but would cut his throat--literally--if they thought it would do them some good. |
