I am not saying that. You, on the other hand, made the claim that having women on active duty caused brutality. The British and French armies in the situations I cited were infamous for their brutal tactics against "the natives". They didn't have the trait you claimed caused brutality. The...

Because the rest of the world demands we do so. We did not want to get involved in Yugoslavia, but Europe whined and puled until we did. If your country gets casually crushed, it's your fault for living in a small country. If your country gets ignored or pushed aside, it's your fault for...

This differs from poor people anywhere else, how? If the situation of Muslims in Palestine were not of interest to oil-rich countries, they wouldn't matter.

Women were not "really active in the military" in the British Empire. Women were not "really active in the military" of France during the Algiers revolt in the 20th century.

Ah, yes, everyone has an opinion about Buddy Holly, but who remembers Willy the Wino on a streetcorner?

Too bad you never saw the actual movie. He ultimately relents. And it is not his religion that makes him disown his daughter, it is his own stiff-necked nature. "If I bend this far, I will break!" is Tevye's line. He's a man late in middle age who has been forced to accept change after...

Re: Desire Consequences are meaningless and worthless if there is no ability to choose different acts on the basis of different consequences. If there is no free will, we are not able to change. We are only "able" to be puppets and pointless playthings. If there is no free will, we are...

Then why are you criticizing Americans? Hypocrisy is such a popular hobby.

The religion of Mammonism does not permit common sense.

Conviction is not the same thing as knowledge. If it were, then there would be no basis for investigation. If one already knows all, no matter what, then there is no need to correct anything.

The whole "shammaite" story might make sense, if Eastern Christianity did not exist. It is the West, under Augustine, who embraced the idea of Original Sin as "inherited guilt", and they did so centuries after any Hillel/Shammaite controversy.

In the USA, a major task of "orderlies" at one time was to ensure clean conditions. The "floor nurse" (probably like the UK's "matron") was to oversee this (in addition to the nurses on her floor). These practices have largely been abandoned with the adoption of antibiotics and one-use medical...

A safe answer, indeed.

And then another other person comes along and says the other person is wrong about Xeno being mistaken. :D

But what if Xeno had lived to the right? Nothing at all would have been different in Socrates's mind at that point. He would have had the exact same thoughts, based on the exact same evidence. In what specific way would Socrates's belief had been knowledge in the first instance but not...

Why did celebrities forget about Rubin "Hurricane" Carter?

If you believe that is what would happen, you are the psychotic, and you need to seek professional medical help for your paranoid delusions.

That's the best you can come up with? "Translation errors" are chump change once you really dive into the hermeneutic of Hebrew religious expression. How much is "seven"? Well, isn't "seven" just seven? No, it's not. "Seven" is not only a number between six and eight, but it is also the...

Liberals adore government handouts and want as many as possible, with as high taxes as possible.

Provided for specifically under terms of treaties, which are normal affairs of states interacting with each other--falls under the normal parts of the US Constitution governing treaty. THIS NEVER HAPPENED! What year was the ERA added to the US Constitution? I'll answer it for you--IT NEVER...
