Bathory, what part of "keep it in SOCN" don't you get? To top it off your remarks are about as mature as those of a child. The last page has been you trying to get a rise out of burger and partially succeeding and very little discussion of the actual topic. Stop before you get a perfectly good thread locked. I'd say we're passed the point of no return, but I don't call the shots.

 

when did I try to get a rise out of burger?

 

Sorry, Hannity made me say it.

also I can see why you dont post in SOCN much...it's hannity central

That's right. And we all share provocative images of Ann Coulter to jerk off to! :sarcastic:

 

Maybe if you stopped trying to generalize everyone in there, you could possibly learn something? :huh:

 

do you have anything to contribute to the thread? I realize you probably don't like to read because that's what LIBERAL COLLEGE PROFESSORS!!! want you to do, but if you only have your hannity rhetoric to put in this thread then you should just stay in SOCN where it's celebrated

I've finished college and listened to many a liberal professor. Learned a thing or two too. Have you been to college bathboy?

 

I have a doctorate in economics! :dweez: tax snowdog and LABT, give to the poor! :codger:

 

now go back to SOCN please

 

Is this typical of the discussion that takes place in SOCN? If so, I'm glad I haven't bothered to gain access to it. :eh:

:pussy:

 

 

;)

 

 

:P

I can't help but laugh at the idea of any sort of Canadian pride. I've watched too much South Park.

Mike Myers distinguishing Canucks and their flag from us Yanks: A person can pass the maple leaf between their butt cheeks and Canadians won't care a bit.

A text at our local high school. How many public schools can claim that?

 

Is it the sole text, or one of a few? I can understand if it is included as an alternative. However, if it is the one text for an American History class, I take serious issue with it.

Easy, Shel...it's the counter text to the standard houghton-mifflin or whatever.

That's why I asked.

I couldn't imagine if I had ever been forced to teach with that book. I couldn't maintain my neutrality.

Pretty extreme, but a good balance. We are the most conservative county in Nevada...yet somehow we get away with Zinn in our schools.

I'd need to be taking hits off a nitrous tank if I were going to do that.

The end of the Age of Oil, huh?

 

Are you really reading this book, or do you just think it looks interesting?

 

Halfway done, started like 6 years ago. I found it dry so I took my time and picked it up again.

I had to read these for my Advanced English class, and thought they were great. The entire theme of the class was about the degradation of the collective American Intelligence, and sense of society and culture, which for an aspiring civil burden was just what the doctor ordered!

Yeah, I agree that people are pivoting against him too strongly, but think about it. Do we really want a Muslim president? Is that what America needs right now?

Why would a president's religion have any relevance to his/her ability to govern the people? In fact many modern Christian beliefs were intrinsically Muslim, furthermore Islam, and Christianity both believe in the same god, they both believe in Jesus, and Moses, the only difference is that Muslims believe in Mohamed. So tell me again the rationale behind your one dimensional-racist ideaology?

Save it for SOCN buddy!

 

And Muhammad was merely a mouth piece for Allah, who while is the same monotheistic God, still differs in some teachings. One big difference between the Hebrew God and Allah is that Allah is not a "he", "he's" an "allah"... It's actually disgraceful to compare God to humankind because the divine is much greater than that. Just an interesting factoid, but I'd say that when people assert that all the western religions worship the same God, they leave out that the Jewish/Christian God is different than Allah, though not at conflict.

 

I'd like to hear more on 'modern Christian beliefs were intrinsically Muslim'

Why bother reading the book? The cover says that Bill Press is the one behind the "lies, distortions and personal attacks" against President Obama. So weird, too, because I always think of him as someone who shares Obama's ideology.

bill press is annoying as hell

 

on social issues I agree with him but he's just a kiss-ass to any sort of government and I dunno if he's ever disagreed with a democrat in his life...
