Re: Vacation Ideas For Single Men

if you like outdoor activities, go on a singles group backpacking excursion, horse riding or bike trip someplace. They're offered all over the world, are reasonably inexpensive, and you'll manage to...

Re: Reconcile Christianity and Capitalism for me

Cyrus,

I've long felt that the biggest problem facing Christians in the west is the failure for all of us to take a serious look at how we exist within a capitalist system.

How many Christians...

Re: Christians and Party Affiliations

Christians are, as a population, much more likely to be liberal than conservative.

However, that is liberal in the classic sense of the term. I don't think most christians are in favor of the...

Re: French Military Attack Kills American

If what the French did in Algers doesn't count as evil, I'm not sure what does.

Of course, it's the same thing the US did in Vietnam, and in northern Iraq to the Kurds, so we really shouldn't talk.

Re: An Economics Lesson for Democrats

Tax cuts alone are not a panacea.

Sound economic policy is first and foremost fiscally responsible.

The problem is not that we have debt, not that we have deficits, not that we have run-away...

Re: Three best sports names ever?

Not a pro athlete -- but in college we had a 2nd-stringer QB/WR/RB guy .. great hands, great mind, no speed, and not quite good enough at QB to be a starter, but he could come into game in a pinch at...

Re: \"I earned Political Capital in the election, and I intend to spend

While I am not a GWB supporter, the man won over 50% of the popular vote -- something that hasn't happened in a presidential election since 1988.

His party also now controls 55 seats in the Senate...

Re: College Graduates usually vote republican

The college-educated vote split 49-49 Bush-Kerry.

I think the more telling statistic is this one:
income: Bush Kerry
$50,000 or More (55%) 56% 43%

Until the Democrats can...

Re: Why do moral issues favor the republicans?

Roe v. Wade was not "passed." It's not legislation, it's a court decission.

The party in office when a justice rules is not really very material. What is material is being in power when justices...

Yes, and the Republicans have never engaged in their share of dirty tricks. They are as clean and pure as the driven snow, right?

Re: What do you think of the electoral college now?

Each state is free to mandate that that state split it's electoral votes according to the popular vote, district totals or any other way that state's population feels is fair.

Re: Some Reasons Kerry Lost

I have to agree.

I am not a Bush supporter. I was looking for a reason to vote for Kerry. He didn't give me one. I ended up voting Libertarian because even though I disagree on some issues, at...

Re: Why do moral issues favor the republicans?

[ QUOTE ]

I honestly believe they are very poorly informed.

When Roe v. Wade was passed, Ford, a Republican, was in office.

Re: Why were the exit polls so drastically wrong?

I think it's simply a matter of the kind of people who fall into each party.

I suspect that the average Republican is slightly more likely to conclude that who they voted for is no one's business...

Re: Some Reasons Kerry Lost

I think think this is a good analysis of why Kerry lost, but falls short of what the democrats need, which is a serious analysis (and action to change) why the Democrats in general lost.

Re: Need a desk for a dual monitor setup

The best desks, in my mind, aren't computer desks.

Go to an antique refinisher, get yourself a nice big, heavy, well-built, full sized executive office desk from the 40's.

Re: New voting machines - How secure is the software???

The software being proprietary and sealed is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Re: New voting machines - How secure is the software???

The software is very insecure. The process is also under-secured.

Any meaningful attempt to destroy or alter votes on these systems would likely succeed.

Re: Quentin Tarantino - What is he thinking? A movie in chinese only?

The way he told the story was engaging. I didn't say the story was engaging.
