RE: Do you think Barack Obama is actually constitutionally eligible to be elected president?

RE: Security Council

It's a matter of power-the U.N. has no army and so it relies on resolutions to get it's point across, and unless the major powers agree on a solution and enforce it, it won't become a reality.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

What I'd really like to hear you sing is Danke Shoen ala Wayne Newton!

RE: Creator

Tee-Hee...

RE: Creator

I certainly hope so Ali.

RE: Obama Rocks! Today! the most serious attempt against more wars!

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Stevie Ray! Me too! My best friend Marta got to hang out and play softball with him and his band because her cousin Skip was their road manager for a time. I had a chance to see him at the Spectrum (in Phila.) in 1989 but couldn't make the trip. You can imagine how much I regret that now. What a loss....It's nice to hear back from you Bodhi-take care!

RE: Obama without teleprompter

They will also have spent far more than those two wars combined.

RE: North Korea

Nicely written.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

My, but you can't take criticism well!

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Can you? Isn't there a live chatting feature on here? We'd love to hear a rendition of "Cinnamon girl"....

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Bohdi, Yes, I have a nasty way of writing, and I'm working on it, but I DON'T think of myself as superior to you or anyone else. I get exasperated by certain repeating IDEA'S and spout off the wrong way. I'm Sorry about that. Your a good man, and I hope to be able to chat with you respectfully from now on. However, you owe me an apology for calling me an a**hole.... Besides, I see you play the guitar, do you like Neil Young by any chance?

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Singularly, yes. Plurally, I've heard differently.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Much of what you profess in opinions leans to the left side of political discourse. It is also what is taught as a sort of faith in most colleges. I'm not speaking of hard facts so much, but how they are interpreted and used politically. As I said earlier, there was far more gray area to the discovery of this country than what you MAY have been taught. I am neither republicrat or democan either, but I am a conservative. American Indians (the name that most prefer to be called by) are also free to leave their reservations. There is no doubt that the U.S. government broke many treaties, and deserves scorn for doing so.

As the Jesuits say..."so much knowledge, so little wisdom"...

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Nah, she just wants attention.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

That's part of my point Jenea-that not all the tribes were abused or 'stolen' from. The Quakers in Penna. paid for much of the land they settled, and/or made treaties. There are also tribes who fought with U.S. cavalry to defeat other tribes, who were their mortal enemies for generations. It isn't as clear cut an issue as some leftist professors make it out to be. Discovery can be made by reading a book, attending a lecture, conversing. Colleges are full of bias as well-contrary to some people's perceptions.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

The low range is from the IBC, and the high range is from the Lancet study.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

OOOH-Nothing so ungracious in this world as someone who can't accept an apology-or three!

RE: Obama without teleprompter

None of them are very good at public speaking that's for sure.

RE: Obama without teleprompter

Debates get heated because there is so much at stake, and I would prefer respectful dialogue myself.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

The inability to READ on these threads is truly frightening Conrad!

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Hello! How are you this fine morning? I have to go to work to pay for our august government, so I'll be leaving soon-Have a good day!

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

How can a country be stolen, when no one owns it? The 500+ tribes who inhabited N. America had no concept of private property. Some tribes welcomed the settlers, others fought them. You are also arguing about points I never made; i.e., that the country was lost. I said that Columbus discovered America and brought it's reality to the attention of Europe/Spain-not that the continent was created out of whole cloth because he came here. Is this what they teach you in college?

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Jenea, there are no reliable statistics as yet on the number of Iraqi civilians killed. They range from 100,000+ to over 1.3 million. NO ONE KNOWS. I also didn't say that war was ALWAYS moral, but that it CAN BE moral.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

Debate or grow up.

RE: Teacher Slams Obama

There was talk of what may lie over the ocean, but until Columbus landed, no tangible proof. European cartographers were interested in mapping the unknown regions of the world, and to them America was a discovery.
