And numerous additional domestic terrorist attacks would be occurring because algore would be dealing with each attack as a law enforcement issue. What proof of this wild allegation do you have? He thinks the president runs every single aspect of the government. LOL. Pot, kettle, black. It is *your side* which has been blaming Bush for the actions of some perverts snapping pictures of naked Iraqis. |

My major complaint with Bush, with regard to the prison mess, is that he hasn't rolled any heads yet. Among other things, one important quality of a good boss is knowing when the use of terror is appropriate with employees. Sadly, your president talks a good video game, but he's actually quite the pussy. |

developed after the bombing of the WTC Tower... and was later developed into the building blocks of the 9/11 attacks...

I can't imagine what he could do worse I can. By all measures, we experienced a *very* short-lived recession thanks to the Bush tax cut. Without it, we'd probably still be in a deep recession. Additionally, the Taliban would still control Afghanistan. They pretty much still are, and as soon as we leave, they will be in full charge again, so just what have we accomplished there? Saddam would still be in charge of Iraq. So what? Did you HONESTLY, before Bush lied us into Iraq, think about Iraqi citizens being abused? Nope. I thought about Saddam waging his own private war against the US using terrorist mercenaries. And were those thoughts of how we could releive the suffering of those citizens? Nope. I really didn't care...and still don't. If so, then why now do you make statements like we should nuke them all? See my answers above. France, Russia and China would still be selling banned weapons to Iraq. Have a problem with governments selling weapons to Iraq? Did you have the same concerns when the United States (Rumsfield) did the same? No. At that time, Saddam wasn't teaming up with terrorist organizations to secretly wage war against the US. UN officials would still be skimming billions off the oil-for-food program. Only difference is, now it's US that's doing that, by way of "private contractors", and Bush/Cheney are profiting. Bush/Cheney are profiting? How so? al Qaeda would be stronger than ever, and probably control the oil coming from the Middle East. How do you know that al Qaeda "would be stronger than ever" and "control the oil coming from the Middle East"? Because algore would have given in to bin Laden's demands after 9/11...and left the Middle East. And numerous additional domestic terrorist attacks would be occurring because algore would be dealing with each attack as a law enforcement issue. What proof of this wild allegation do you have? Al Gore would have just continued with the Reno Justice Dept. method of combatting terrorism. Arrest the surviving suicide bombers. Now we are getting somewhere. So, I take it, by your above answers, that you really don't buy into BushCos rhetoric about freeing Iraqis, and making there lives better through democracy? Good, the intelligent people of the U.S. have known that was pure horse**** from the beginning!! Thank you for realizing it, also.

So you did get a 'real' mechanical engineering degree. :-) I lived with an MET guy. He'd always ask "how do you guys remember off the top of your head that g=9.806 m/s^2"? Answer: Uh, 'cause we used it about a gazillion times in our calculations each day. The MET guys knew the hands-on stuff better however. What I meant was Getting a BSME as opposed to a BE majoring in mechanical :-) Here's a link of the program I attended: http://tools.ecn.purdue.edu/ME/Undergrad/index283.whtml The CE classes I took were technical electives. I had a difficult time visualizing the concepts of fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfer. I preferred things that I could visualize a little bit easier...like Statics, Dynamics, and Structural Design. So the CE classes where not required. I had the difficult time with Eng. Calculus Especially Calc. II. I believe that covered Fourier transforms? It was a few (well many) years back..........diffy qs went right by me.......but I was more concerned about my design studios and quantum physics.....two area I never had and will never have a need for. :-) I agree once again. Things I could visualize, I did well in. Things that required plugging and chugging variables into the 3rd derivative of an equation made no sense to me. |

snicker if you think those courses qualify to design bridges, then you are a bigger fool than ever. Simple 'beam' design as taught in statics, as well as what is covered in mechanics of materials doesn't come close to the needed information for bridge design.......you are a fool. Why, no... those course wouldn't land one a job as a bridge designer, but that's not what I said. With the knowledge in those courses (plus, perhaps I should add, a little common sense) one *could* design a bridge that would not fall down. Maybe that parenthetical qualifier lets you out of the picture? .......you are a fool. Maybe, maybe not... but I'm not the one dredging for any excuse to call other people names. Are you really 9 years old or do you just act this way on the internet? DSK |

Very true...for dental school as well. I didn't get into dental school on my first attempt. Gee, why am I not surprised by THAT???? |

Whatever you say. Soon you will be telling us about your Lobster Boat and
your "young wife" who is a doctor doctor. "basskisser" wrote in message om... "NOYB" wrote in message hlink.net... "basskisser" wrote in message om...

Whatever you say. Soon you will be telling us about your Lobster Boat and your "young wife" who is a doctor doctor. And you'll be basing everything in life on nothing but wild assumptions, with no regard to facts. |
