I must give credit to an online friend. The last two paragraphs are the only ones penned by myself. The first part was posted on another site, on a board I moderate/host called the PC Patroll. I will post the link to give credit but strongly caution everyone that the board and the site can be decidedly harsh and offensive.

(Screwed up and posted nothing. Figured I'd use the space for a couple questions)
Long story short:
N. Korea violated a fuel-for-no-nukes agreement with the U.S. They fired up the nuke plant so we cut off the fuel. We cut off the fuel, so they kicked out International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors, pulled out of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and threatened to abandon the 1953 Korean War armistice, a war they fought against the U.N. Now the US says that the issue of North Korea must be discussed multilateraly. The North Koreans want the talks to be bilateral. Even though the IAEA, the NPT, and the UN are all multilateral issues/organizations, seveal local countries, China foremost among them, favor bilateral talks.Question 1:
Do we appease the local countries and deal with them alone (and I could have sworn I just heard a bunch of people bitching about the U.S. doing things alone, but whatever) or do we stick to our insistance that everyone deal with them together?Question 2:
If we deal with it alone does anyone else have the right to comment on how we handle it since they were given a chance to participate and insisted on staying out of it? -

Nope, ......... I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, Secret Service agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning former Governors.When the IRA was pursuing a compaign of terrorism, how would it have helped the British government to spend man-hours survailing and/or searching recent immagrents from Laos? When idealizm directly and with undeniable clarity contradicts logic, it is no longer idealism, it is insanity. Political Correctness in the United states has gone overboard in the worst way and is now directly affecting national security.
I am not intending to incite hate, I could post a number of examples where PC has gotten out of hand. Peoples lives have been ruined thru PC-motivated lawsuits, public officials have been forced to leave office for innocent use of the word "niggardly," and there are countless other illustrations of PC out of controll. I have chosen to use the example of security screeners at airports because of the dire reprecussions it poses to my country.

Tolerance
by Xena inyou know most of us spend a large part of our lives in a religion that allowed for no independant thinking.
we were taught and taught others that ours was the only way and anyone who thought differently was going to be judged unworthy and die.
anyone who presumed to think outside the box was branded "apostate" or not good association.

I hear ya loud and clear Xena. I find that it is usually those with the loudest voices proclaiming open mindedness and tollerence who are the most narrow and unaccepting of contrary opinions. If you say that you don't want your child to turn out gay, you are simply stating a truthful viewpoint, but many "open minded" people will immediatly start calling you a homophobic redneck and brand you with a plethora of steryotypes and stigmas, the very things they accuse others of doing. My Dad's girlfriend is one of those "enlightened," Birkenstok-wearing, make-up shunning women and considers herself very open minded. When I was single, I would talk to my dad about my dating life in blunt and honest terms saying things like "this chick was so stupid" and "this honey coulda used a bit of a boob job, but aside from that she was smokin!" From those early days, I have been labled a chauvanist in her mind and will be forever unable to change it. I have been called names and had negative assumptions made about me on this board for simply stating my opinion, often by people who call themselves as open minded, when a simple statement of disagreement would have sufficed. I think the most basic reaction in human nature to ideas that contrast with our own is to be afraid of them and to attack them, but that what makes us civilized is the acceptance of differing ideas, even though we may not agree with them. Personaly, I believe that religion nurtures the more basic reaction and not the civilized one.

Ugh. I tell ya, she was responsible several times for my breaking of the JW rule of not touching yourself. The rest of 'em? Screw 'em.

Jews VS Mormons
by Adam inthis week on the radio, i heard that the jewish higherarchy is all full of piss and vinigar because the mormons apparently aren't holding up their end of a bargan reached several years ago.
seems that mormons believe that posthumus baptizing (i think it's just a verbal thing, i doubt they pour water over corpses) allows the individual the choice of chosing the right faith (theirs of course) after mortal death.
because of this belief, they were posthumusly baptizing jews who died in the holocost.

Just a note: My closing comments were completely fecetious. I think that this is a glaring example of just how rediculous people will act because of religion. Baptizing dead people from another religion, geez, religion's great, aint it?

Because of this belief, they were posthumusly baptizing Jews who died in the Holocost. This pissed the Jews off something feirce. They hammered out a deal and the Mormons said they'd stop saving the souls of the dead Jews. Well I guess someone recently caught an over-zealous Mormon reading holocost victems' names at the baptizmal roll call (or whatever they call it) and the Jews are pissed again.
The mormons were simply trying to be nice. According to them, if you're never baptized as a mormon you don't have the option of choosing the only religion of the one true god. They were simply allowing these poor misguided jews the posthumus opportunity to pick the right religion instead of the wrong one that they were in when they died. Quite curtious of them if you ask me. Oh, and god bless.

God Bless!
by Adam ini work at a job where my primary mode of comunication is the telephone.
all day i'm receving messages, leaving messages, or speaking to people on the phone.
i've probably heard messages for about 70 answering machines in the almost three months i've been here.

Adam
Perhaps I'm just more sensitive to it because both my boss and one of my coworkers are Gay men. Most people who believe in the bible believe that part where god says that homosexuality is wrong, so how do you think they feel when they here "god bless" on the answering machine? If I had to call one of them after hours regarding something at the office and got their answering machine and at the end it said "and have some great gay sex tonight" I would feel anoyed and wish they could just keep it to themselves. Same thing with the religious statements.
