  Bradley, grow up sweetheart!

  Expat, I have no patience!

  Would the 13 colonies still be under British control if George Washington had choked on a fishbone at 13?

  Unlikely as there were many upset at the British government.

  If Jesus had died as an infant, would a new religion never have started during that era

  Probably.

  I think that those things would have happened anyway, just involving different individuals. Nevertheless, they were the ones, and so credit is due for what they did do.

  I agree with you you sloth.

  I'm scared! Someone hold me!

  I give a shit. You are overreacting Still! This is not a personal attack on you but on your ability to decipher the differance between fact and fiction and react to it. Critical thinking is a good thing. Try it.

  Still, I suggest you take a class on critical thinking. You're sorely lacking in it.

  Who's to say that Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse weren't lovers?

  Getting drunk a sin?

  by Coop Man in

  i have a pretty interesting perspective on this.....especially since i once had all of my privledges removed because i had admitted to an elder that i was hungover..... the scriptures state that drunkards will not inherit gods' kingdom, nor will gluttons.... gluttony is the practice of over-eating, much the same is being a drunkard is one who is continuously drunk.

  so, in my feeble mind, getting drunk "once-in-a-while" is not a sin, just the same as overeating at mcdonalds or at grandma's house is not a sin.. am i incorrect in my reasoning?.

  thanks to all participants.

  Good to hear you are going Ballistic!

  Drunkennes and gluttony are indeed equal in my book. I don't however think that drunkeness and an occasional over the top incident are the same thing. I'd equate a night of over the top drinking with going to a buffet and eating more than you meant to. In either instance you'll pay for it later so that should be enough punishment. Drinking until you're passed out drunk on a daily basis is differant. That's not healthy for you or anyone around you. Same goes for gluttony! Has anyone seen "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"?

  Again, who is to say that the USSR would not have collapsed or been transformed into a more benign nation without the escalation in nukes and the very real threat of total annihilation?

  Me?

  ...Reagan (Tho I hate him) did finish off the cold war.

  That is HIGHLY debateable. Many feel the USSR would have collapsed on their own without the US spending a gazillion dollars on nuclear bombs. And now, of course, we (and they) have a ton of WMD. How pleasant!

  Bradley is correct, partially. One of the main reasons the Soviet Union collapsed was our escalation in spending on our own WMD which forced them to try and keep up. I believe (and I'm sometimes wrong ) that Gorbachev had more to do with the end of the cold war than Reagan did.

  Phantom, you're cute!

  Believe me, there is a strong instinct in almost all of the United States' peoples to just close down our borders and impose ridiculous tariffs on foreign goods and just tend to our own affairs.

  No there isn't. I certainly wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life drinking American beer. Would you? I certainly think we should spend more time tending to our domestic issues though. As I was walking through downtown Detroit today I noticed some of the neighborhoods could've been airlifted here from a warzone.

  I support the military efforts in Iraq because I believe that the spread of democracy is our best bulwark against terrorism, and military intervention was the most painless (not completely painless, far from it, but the best available) way to get rid of the major obstacle to democracy, ie. Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party.

  I still don't understand how Saddam Hussein and the Baath party were standing in the way of our democracy. Not every country is culturally responsive to a democratic government either. I'm going to get off this topic because I don't think that is what this thread is all about. Sorry.

  Czar, I think you've moderated yourself quite a bit. (The Czarina's influence?) I like it!

  I'm not even going to get into it with Yeru because he and I have been getting along and I think we've agreed to disagree. I like him anyway.

  Smart and successful people have people to do that sort of thing for them.

  That's exactly why I don't think GW has ever turned on a computer! Or had one *ahem* turned one on for him...
