So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive contributions
to
society from the Arab world in the last 100 years.

They're out the

For example,
Chemistry. (Nobel prize winner in 1999 was an Arab)


That's a bit of stretch, don't you think, Chuck? The guy had been an
instructer at Caltech for 23 years prior to the award. He was more
"American" than Arab. Excluding Arab-Americans, Arab-Europeans, etc.,
what
positive contributions have Arabs living in Arab nations made to society
in
the last 100 years?



What contributions would you consider valid ones?

WTF??

Are you still on the "let's launch a holy crusade to exterminate the
Arabs" kick?

Let's assume, for a moment, that Arabs have not made any
'contributions
to society' in the past 100 years. Does that justify a war against any
or all Arab and/or Muslim nations?


My comment was in reponse to the statement that all Arab nations hate
us.
Essentially, I'm saying "who cares"...they're irrelevant in the whole
scheme
of things...unless of course they attack us. Only *then* do they become
relevant...and then I *do* say that their lack of contributions to
society
should be considered when we're deciding just how many kiloton nuke we
should drop on 'em.

Then where would the oil that you republicans want us dependent on
going to come from?

Oil is unaffected by nukes. It'll still be there...only with nothing in the
way between it and us.

What positive contributions have *you* made, NOBBY?

Many. Let me use an anology. Were I to be arrested, for instance, the
judge
would look at my long list of positive contributions to my
community...and
his punishment would be doled out accordingly. If I were a jobless
vagrant
who had many run-ins with the law and never contributed anything useful
to
society, I'd have a lot harsher punishment. It happens all the time in
our
justice system. I'm saying "let's apply the same standard to nations".

Time to bomb Iceland, then.

Obviously the point zipped right over your head. If Iceland were turning
out terrorists as rapidly as the Middle East, you'd have to weigh its
positive contributions vs. its negative contributions to society when
deciding what level of punishment to inflict upon them.

You're stuck on the subject of what Arabs have done to the
rest
of
the
world

Not "done to", but "done for" the rest of the World. What
positive
contributions have they made?

If *this* country had been sliced up and rearranged into
meaningless
arrangements by foreign powers and a number of wars, you'd find
that
OUR
contributions would be hindered somewhat. Survival would become
more
important.


So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive
contributions
to
society from the Arab world in the last 100 years. Isn't that what
I
said
last week? And what Harry said 2 1/2 years ago...before he changed
his
mind?

I said nothing of the kind. What I said is true. If a country or
region
is
ravaged by war, or politically manipulated in ways which were not
designed
to benefit the region, it has SOME EFFECT on the ability to function
in
what
you or I would consider "normal". But, you deny that the Middle East
has
been touched by us, Europe or Russia over the past 100 years

Oh, give it up. There have been many races, cultures, and nations which
have been tinkered with by outside influence over the years. Yet, most
of
those have managed to make significant contributions to society despite
the
"oppression". Quit making excuses for the Arabs. They've contributed
zilch
over the last century.



Your attitude has one redeeming quality. You will raise your children to
think as you do. Therefore, companies like McDonald's and Wendy's will
never
have problems staffing their front counters, and I will be able to get
lunch
quickly.

That's pretty funny, Doug...especially coming from someone who's son was out
of a job for months on end due to his possessing no positive redeeming
qualities.

The light bulb, penicillin, the first computer, the internal combustion

supply side economics. ;-)

After, dummy. You said oil is unaffected, which implies we could still go

Hmm. No literature. Not surprising, coming from the court jester.
