Just because you say it is doesn't mean that it is. FFS, stop making unsupported assertions and back up what you say. Regardless of your beliefs when it comes to religious marriage (it's important to distinguish between a state-sanctioned civil marriage, and a religious marriage, whether it be Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindi or whatever), surely you can acknowledge that civil marriages are man made? After all, would your omniscient deity sanction or create a civil marriage contract that allows homosexuals to get hitched?
As for your absurd assertion that sex outside marriage isn't safe, back that up please. Firstly, how do you define safe. Secondly, ever heard of contraception? You know, the pill, condoms and so on. Those pesky things.  |
I'm not going to go into this with you.I just don't have the patience for it right now.
But, I do have a friend who is 19 years old, She has a year old son,and a daughter on the way. She was using protection,including the pill..and she has two children. She's extremely emotionally messed up because the guy she was sleeping with is in jail now, so she's left raising children on her own. Those are only a few of the side effects of sex before marriage.

Dick is what my grandfather goes by. His name is Richard.
| quote: | | Actually, the word dick is a commonly used abbreviation for penis. Yes, some people called Richard choose to abbreviate it to dick, but others do not, and prefer Rick, or simply Richard. Here's an idea. Head to a shopping mall, and loudly yell 'dick'. Observe how people react. Most likely they'll immediately assume that you're referring to male genitalia, as opposed to a friend who happens to be called dick. |
I'm not stupid, I know what you were refering to.
| quote: | | Wrong. Whist Saddam did indeed kill his own people, that certainly isn't why the US went to war. |
One of the reasons, We are liberators here in the US. Not oppressors.
| quote: | | Remember that whole 'WMD' thing? Yeah, that's right, the entire justification for invading Iraq. |
Was not, and I still believe there are WMD's there. There's many reasons we went into Iraq. Of course you'll never believe that because you don't want to.so let's drop it.
| quote: | If the US had explicitly said they were heading in to liberate Iraq, then maybe we wouldn't be here discussing this. But as it stands, i don't think any rational person believes that the US administration had the Iraqi civilians in mind when the planned the invasion. Personally I think it was for strategic reasons (i.e. - getting a foothold in the middle east). If you can show me that Bush consistently used 'freeing the Iraqi people' as a justification before the apparent non existence of WMDs became an issue, then I'll consider conceding on this one.

We care about the civilians,and we wanted to help them. That's just what we did. They were/are happy about it to.
And don't go tell me they weren't, There were hundreds of troops that wrote back to their families telling their families how many civilians came up to them and thanked them and hugged them for freeing them from Saddam. We're speaking of thousands of civilians doing this.
Of course you don't see this on the news,Media only shows us what it wants us to see.
| quote: | | When this is examined in light of the WMD fiasco, one can't help but wonder if the US administration really gave a shit about the people that it killed. |
Of course the Administration cared.They aren't heartless you know.

Ugh, here we go again. Some people really have to learn to stop justifying everything with 9/11. 9/11 had absolutely nothing to do with the war on Iraq. In case you've forgotten already, that was Afghanistan. Not to take away from the significance of 9/11, but it really does pale into comparison when you compare it to some of the things that occur in Africa and so on. |
Yes, It did. Terrorism, is what made 9/11 happen.Have you forgotten already?
