Reply to What Makes a Person Take up Smoking? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I never understood it, either; if you're sitting around a campfire, and the wind changes, blowing the smoke into your face, you cough and move, right? Then why inhale the shit directly into your lungs? My mom was almost a chainsmoker who died from renal complications of a stroke at 42. My dad was a three-pack-a-day man until he died of brain cancer at the age of 61. The cancer that killed him started in his lungs; they found it after he'd had a he

. I hope his fellow Muslims aren't implying that simply because of his celebrity status, he should be allowed carte blanche. Gideon Macleish: What celebrity status? He gave all that up to become a follower of Islam. Apparently, however, he DID seem to ke

TV---Lack of respect for fathers in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

From the 50's right up to the '80s, fatherhood was portrayed on TV as a sacred responsiblity. Fathers were shown as strong, wise, caring, responsible figures in their children's lives that complimented the motherly compassion and warmth of their wives. "Ozzie and Harriet", "Father Knows Best", "Leave it to Beaver", "The Andy Griffith Show"....on up through "The Brad

Oh, sorry, Muggz, guess I'm not used to a liberal using humor to make a point, you all take yourselves so seriously.

Mao Tse Tung was another US creation did we take him out? So what was the difference there, which President put Mao Tse Tung or even Pol Pot into power? How about Manuel Noriega? Who put other world dictators in power like Ho Chi Minh?

But that's the nature of politics. Politics, Left or Right, is always "what's in it for me at the moment". That's why they all listen to polls and do what the polls say instead of making decisions based on principles. Pardon me if I come across as cynical, but that's how I see it. You keep on dreaming. I'll try to wake you before the terrorists come to kill you.

Reply to A Sordid History of That Erstwhile Republican Bed-mate -- Saddam Hussein in Politics JoeUser Forums

Okay, I'm sorry...you liberals, then. I shouldn't assume. You're right, fighting evil by supporting evil is wrong, but if we didn't do things that way, it would be a very different world today. Communism is evil, and we recognized that, but the fact was that we needed allies, so we sided with the Soviets against the Nazis. You have to "weigh the evil", I suppose you could say. Yes, Iraq under Saddam was an evil dictatorship. But we supported the B'

I've said it before and I'll say it again....in this world, you make friends with those who support your aims, and enemies with those who don't. Iraq was at war with Iran, an enemy of the US, when the Reagan administration gave them weapons and support. Later on, Iraq itself became our enemy. It happens. What you Dems, in your zeal to condemn Bush, seem to forget (or not want to acknowledge) is that Dems in

Reply to Would Yusuf Islam be allowed in your country? in International JoeUser Forums

I didn't say that Republicans do no wrong....look at Nixon, for God's sake. As for Reagan "Buliding Saddam and Osama", when the Reagan administration gave weapons, supplies and support to Iraq and the mujahaddin, they were, at the time, opposing enemies of the US. Iraq was in its war with Iran, and the Afghans were fighting the Soviet invaders. Loyalties change quickly in this world, see, and you

Let's talk about signs of the times: The initial rise of Islamic Fundamentalism and its anti-American sentiment during the America-last administration of Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. The rise of al-Qaeda and anti-American terror under the America-last administration of WJ Clinton, another Democrat. Sad how Republican presidents (Reagan, Bush Jr) have, in the last 20 years, had to deal with the results of m

There hasn't been peace in Africa, Asia or the Mid-East since the end of European colonialism. That's a radical statement, and it's going to be unpopular, I'm sure, but it's true. As much as those on the Left would love to believe the ideal of free people governing themselves peacably, the cold, sad fact is that, for whatever reasons, tribal, political or economic, some people just can't seem to govern themselves. Look at Central Europe, for
