His argument isn't valid even if you only look at the US and not the world at large. If we look at the past rate of attacks on US soil we see that the only thing that changed with 9/11 was the degree of success, where as before then that had only small degrees for success or outright failure. As far...

Kargyle

My point Mid was that you keep saying no attack since 9/11, but to the best of my knowledge (and I haven't done any research) the last terrorist attack in side the US was the previous World Trade Center bombing in 93. So I don't think saying no attacks since 9/11 really means anything. But I haven't...

Technically, those are American soil.

I know that, but I didn't know if Mid considered them American Soil.

You keep saying, "No attacks on US soil since 9/11." My question is, when was the last attack before that? And if you are going to count the embassy bombings in Africa, I would like to point out that our embassy in Greece was recently attacked. I don't know if you consider US Embassies as ...

He had a skull fracture and a punctured lung. They aren't so keen to discharge after those types of injuries until they are pretty sure you are stable and well on the road to recovery. I didn't see the story, but does it say no surgery was required?

I don't know much about Insight, although I read that they tend to be conservative, but that comes from a Fark comment, so take it with a grain of salt. Regardless, I think this could really blow up in the White House's face.

I don't understand why so many people are up in arms over saying Happy Holidays.

We lived there later than that. I think my dad went over in 88, or 89, and the rest of us followed in 89, or 90 (about 9 monthes after whenever my dad went.)

Oh to dream. My dad was in Saudi working as a contractor years before any of this current war stuff started.

So the poker craze actually annoys me. I'm sick and tired of sitting down at a limit table just to pass some time and some dick wad with no idea what they are doing comes in and tries to play like he's in some no limit tourney. Go home and keep watching poker on TV.

I never blamed the Air Marshal. All I said was that an investigation sounds like a good idea. Hell, I would be inclined to say that any time a person is shot there should be some type of investigation. Personally I feel bad for the Air Marshal. Whether he did the right thing or the wrong thing, he s...

So what I think is interesting, and I was thinking about this yesterday, the Air Marshal's shot him after he was already off the plane, and from reports, moving away from the plane. The officials have stated that the Marshal shot to protect the people on the plane, there (as far as I know) has never...

While I am against the death penalty, I don't see why Williams is any more deserving of having his sentence commuted that any other murderer. He's never admitted to the killings, and never shown any remorse. I guess you could argue that you can't remorse what you never did, but I've never seen anyon...

I dont' want anyone to get the impression that I think torture is alright, because I don't. But I have found that some of the things that I would consider torture, other people don't. And conversely, things that I think are ok (although distasteful), others think of as torture. As far as what George...

So, there is a lot of talk abou torture in the media these days. Allegations that the US is secretly transporting prisoners to secret bases in other countries for the purpose of torture, abuse of prisoners at Gitmo, etc. What we seldom here discussed, is exactly what constitutes torture.

I'm sorry, but those faces are ugly. I can't say that I'm overly impressed with the screen shots I've seen so far. It just seems like more of the same stuff we've already seen in other MMOs. And they can't even claim to have an original style. The shots look, more or less, like every other game that...

Ripping tags off or pillows and such only applies to manufacters, and resellers. It has nothing to do with the consumer once they have purchased the product.

Self Justification is always easy. You don't see anything wrong with downloading games because you like to download games.

Well, it is obvious that the man contributed to his own demise. He certainly made some poor decision in the final moments of his life.

Your drive should not allow you to record an 8x piece of media at 16x.
