Ot-Our Other Arab War- The one 200 years ago

It worked: AFAIK there are no witches anymore in Salem. HTH

Are you suggesting that religous toleration inclules allowing religous fanatics to dive bomb our cities without retaliation?

Yeah, admittedly, bad bait...........

I musta been bored or something.

(I claim foul on that one .)

It does not go both ways. The men can walk out at will and at whim, the women have absolutely no way out.

Men and women should be treated fairly. This (and the California divorce courts) is not equitable.

You probably need to read "The Ugly American" by Eugene Burdick and William J. Lederer. Get the big version with the large, easy to read, pictures.

Don't go down with United Fruit !!!

The "under god" clause in the official Pledge is a "codified" "acknowledgement" of a deity. To add, by legislation, the words "under god", is to govern _more_, not less.

And, as long as your reading comprehension is so good, you might answer the original question: is "god" some kind of has-been celebrity who will dry up and cease to matter in the absence of adequate publicity, such as a mention in the Pledge? Does an omniscient and omnipotent deity _care_ about such things?

I am glad to see that my post pissed you off so much that you couldn't even comment on the topic.

Don't you need to be out digging a spider hole somewhere?

Be a little carefull there, or you will start to sound like Chairman Mao. :-) ...lew...

Nossir. A "code" is a system, a way of doing things. The acknowledgment of a deity does not imply codification.

If the inclusion of the term is causing you distress, take it up with your congressrat. The official documents of the Several States contain countless references to a deity, but none - not a single one - attempts to establish a code.

Damned if I know. Or, care. I figure what folks believe is a personal matter and I don't give a rat's ass how or what anyone else believes or doesn't believe as long as they don't attempt to involve me in their trip. Zealots of any ilk give me gas.

Clue: How would a few suicide bombers do that? And after all, later they are seemingly very dead.

Falwell & Robertson might lose some "donors".

So you can use your crayons (even if you do fear you might learn something)? Besides, you can just keep your eyes closed, as usual.

BEWARE: Actually learning anything tends to turn people away from right-wingers and conservatives and the John Birch folks. Don't let it happen to you.

I did . But I'm not the one that's always "pissed off" it seems. How's the bunker today? Kibble getting a bit stale?

One just needs to lurk on the fringes of the fringes of the fringes I think: misc.survivalism.

It CLEARLY presumes that one and only one exists. And we al well know exactly which group of superstitious cultists they have clearly in mind. "Devil worshipers" are much maligned as well.

After all, it's not like they ask anyone to use the term in any pledges or swear on their books of old-dead-guy mistranslated & heavily edited superstitious sayings.

Which explains this thread, right? LOL ...

Sort of like colic?

This thread's topic turned into a comparison of US vs. Moslem fundamentalist government. Apparently, you are comparing the two and, in your warped mind, have decided they are somehow equivalent. I pointed out that Moslems use suicide bombers suicide bombers and you seemed to go off the deep end after that.

Yes, Moslems use suicide bombers at an attempt at religious domination. To date Falwell and Robertson do not. Please try to keep up or go back to weaving rugs at the home.

Again, you disagree with my comments and here you go making up wild accusations. You really aren't up on the subject are you?
