How you can group all Muslims is laughable not to mention ignorant.

Not all Muslims are terrorists. But the majority of the recent
terrorists that we're fighting now are Muslims. To deny the influence
of that faith on their actions, is being ignorant.

I still have a job because of Nookular Boy. Being an equal opportunity
aggravator, I reminded dad that our company's profits are getting
hammered
by the price of oil, and asked him if he thought that was a good thing,
or a
bad thing. Wrong question. The dinner went downhill from there. :-)



As the saying goes, "It takes two to Tango". It's too bad everyone
seems to think they have to win, when both parties can given a little
effort. Maybe a course like

should be included in every high school and college curriculum.

Actually, that's how I conduct 99% of my life. But, my dad has a thing about
control, and the rest of the family has decided he needs to be ground down a
bit with a very coarse rasp. Otherwise, there's no living with him.

I understand. Keep the faith, but also keep the harmony.

Heh - I read Doug's post and got a giggle out of it.

Here in Casa del Weirdo, the kids and wife just gave up. They finally
realized that I'm totally incorrigible and not salvageable..

Also, I just do things to tweak 'em a little - keeps 'em on their
toes. :)

Take care.

Same here. In some cases, the "coarse rasp" can be making it obvious
that you will not interact in any way shape or form, until the behaviour
improves. It's hard to be a control freak when people ignore you.

The main criticism that I have about GWB is his insistence that we
should spread democracy throughout the Arab world. We have no right to
do so.

Requiring adherence of an aggressive nation (after defeat) to a set of
approved and dictated UN conditions, to which the defeated nation agreed
to, is an entirely different matter. There is no point in imposing the
conditions if they aren't enforced.

When you are at war, you have to cover your bases.

Cover your bases? By interning American citizens?
