Kinda like how I told my friend over in literally Jesus- land that if I hiked down to that grotto I'd have that red clay on my boots forever *I am agnostic*. I'm not even kidding that yesterday I wore the boots to work and then shopping with a friend, and even after hardcore cleaning, when I took them off to try on some great 7" Maddens (cheap, and there were three other fabs next to them that were going to be next), there was red Jesus clay up there in the heel=meets=the=slope=crack. More funny because I had previous told my shoe shopping compadre that the "jesus clay" was the only thing I'd ever had a shoe issue with.

Jesus Christ would disapprove of murdering 3,000 civilians. Jesus didn't have any wars going on during his lifetime and he was not a soldier. Jesus Christ also is not the United States government. If the US Government decided to become Jesus Christ, you and I would be dead already and the US would be a Nazi nation.
I suppose you might have a leg to stand on if any of these terrorists were actually and permanently harmed. But seriously, making gunshot sounds outside of the room? Telling them you're going to kill their children if there is another massacre of our civilians? Pouring water on their face? Looking all scary with a power drill that you never use? Shoot, I heard of a Judo Sensei who choked out every person in his class one right after another to show that it was harmless. Making them stand or sit for hours? We all do that every day, it's called our job.
I'm sorry, but there was no torture. Not that we have seen yet. Abu Ghraib doesn't count, those soldiers went to jail for what they did.

Friday, it disappoints me that you have justified to yourself, to appease your conscience or your faith or whatever, that what we did is not torture and therefore it is ok. Of course, you have the right not to care what I think. Personally, it is tragic to me that fellow Christians have appeased themselves by choosing to believe that fallacy. I do believe that Jesus Christ Himself would condemn the techniques we used on these terrorists; and then all these defenders would debate even Him. To me, this shows the disconnect American Christianity has developed between the true Church that existed 2000 years ago.

My hometown is thinking about having a mandatory church class in their public schools. I am a Christian, and I am still against it.
Why is it that people think the government is responsible for teaching our kids values? Haven't we shirked enough responsibilities over the last 100 years? The government is not taking our freedoms and responsibilities. We are actively giving them away.
Families and parents should be teaching values at home. The teachers and school systems are not responsible for your kids. You are!
Keep religion out of my government. Keep the government out of my religion.

“There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country, a reflection of God's lover's quarrel with all the world.”-William Sloane Coffin

G. Money has been demonstrating himself to be a solid candidate but today I must endorse Arch. We do not agree much but a sense of history here with him compels me to support him today.
One thing Arch and I do share is a fondness for Teddy Roosevelt and that shared sentiment is another reason for my support for him today!
Good luck Arch.

Tough choice. I consider Socialists and Laissez-faire Capitalists as both extremists. But, I had to go w/ David. At least some of his core beliefs about faith are similar to mine; even if his politics is not.

Public office and the venues of the entertainment market have always and will always have different rules. Does Hollywood fire all of its actors and actresses after their indiscretions? I think you are having issues separating politics and entertainment.
Ah well! Makes no difference to me. I am a Seattle Seahawks fan, w/ the Dallas Cowboys a close second. So, those are the two teams I will be focusing on.
Ciao!

I post this as an admission on my part that I am human, and my judgment on things can be wrong from time to time. I voted for Bush in 2000. I did not vote in 2004. As the 2008 campaign energized, I supported the candidacy of this man. In hindsight, I am glad that his campaign ended.

Of course...
According to WRAL News, sources expect former U.S. Sen. John Edwards to admit that he is the father of his former mistress' 18-month-old daughter.
Edwards confessed last August to an affair with Rielle Hunter, who worked for the Edwards presidential campaign in 2008. Edwards has denied father her daughter, saying the relationship with Hunter ended before the child was conceived.
I will reiterate again that it is my belief that the extramarital activities of any one is not of interest. However, I do think it's instructive to note the character of someone who would break so callously the promises made to those closest to him.
However, let me also say (and I do this as a former HUGE John Edwards supporter), WHEW!!!! I'm so glad his campaign blew up when it did. It's bad enough that he took his marriage vows so casually, but to be dumb enough to do so without taking precautions against this kind of eventuality does not speak well for Edwards' intelligence at all.

Apples and oranges, sir! ....and you are also speculating. We have no proof that Nixon would have been impeached and removed from office since he resigned before it could get that far.
With the repeated offenses that many athletes have in which there is no justice; I find it commendable that Vick at least served a jail sentence. I see this as progress. Besides, if people are still willing to watch him play; then I do not hold it against the Eagles for taking advantage of this. Isn't that the free market at work?

btw, I hate the Philadelphia Egales. They are my 32nd favorite team in the NFL, out of 32 teams.

First of all, it is Vick not Vic.
Secondly, while I am not quite sure about the price tag (the League minimum is $100,000, which would have been plenty); I am all for second chances. It was General Patton that said success is not judged by how high someone climbs the ladder, but rather how high they bounce once they hit the bottom. Vick hit the bottom. This is his chance to bounce. I think it is great that he can get a second chance. I just hope Vick realizes that this is it; and does not take it forgranted.
Arch.
