  1. They go hand in hand. Middle Eastern counties are often ISLAMIC STATES. Islamic Law and government coincide. There is no other mjaor religion that is so controlling, or that dictates every way of life, other than Islam. He makes America look weak. NOT GOOD. Anyway, back to the point, Islam did not add enough to the world that anyone owes a debt. For most of it's history Islam was DEstructive not CONstructive. To say that any owes a debt to Islam is political drivel.
  2. I beleive you're still missing my point (my fault). Im not getting into a tit for tat debate, because it is the whole picture that matters. Western culture and ideals allowed for free thought and expressions (well - mostly - The Roman Catholic church stunted a lot) where as Islam as a whole does not. For Obama to say that we owe a debt to ISLAM is wrong. (key arguement <<<<) Everything Islam touched, touches, and will touch, it suppresses. Islam has stunted/haulted/stopped/reversed more 'enlightenment' than it can every create.
  3. Fair Enough. Let me go back to the quote and clarify. Obama claims that we owe a 'debt' to Islam because Islam paved the way for Europe's enlightenment. This is wrong on several fronts. First, let us look at the time period that Wikipedia claims Islam had its "Golden Age". At about the same time Islam was rapidly expanding. It engulfed the Middle East and North Africa. Everywhere Islam went, so did its harsh rulers and treatment of infidels. The Jizya tax and punishment forced countless people of other faiths to convert to Islam. Many of accomplishments given to Islam really go to the Byz
  4. Simply put, that is the PC version of history. Yes, there have been brilliant Muslims, and new concepts come from Muslims. However, the religion as a whole suppresses even the idea of enlightenment. No bigger evidence of this than to look at the West vs the Middle East in modern times.
  5. Ive tried to be open minded toward the far left president, unlike the left was to Bush, and unlike the consverative media (Hannity) is to Obama. However, with speeches like this I find it becoming harder and harder. I watched his speech and was left dumfounded and amazed. Uh, no Mr. President. History shows time and time again that Islam suppresed enlightenment. To say it "paved the way" is nothign but BS. His countuing kiss-ass attitude towards Islam is not diplomacy. It is not helping America. Our enemies are sitting back laughing and thanking Allah that America elected Obama. Oh,
  6. Glad to have a happy ending here! Any chances of anymore compliactions from the poisoning?
  7. Small world... The interenet proves time and time again.
  8. Yep. Used to live down there about an hour or so south of you. Moved out here a couple years ago. Where's your MIL?
  9. Found this today off the coast of the Florida pan handle. Someone had dropped it down into a compartment of a sunken tug boat in about 80ft of water. Thought you computer geeks might find it interesting. A couple critters were already calling it home. * Sorry for the crappy picture quality - The best I could to with the amount of light I had *
  10. Where is Sultan's never ending file of bookmarks and links? Come on - Give em up. I've got a decent list stored away somewhere... Mostly dating back to the TechTv days - So I guess they are all out of date. Anyhow - We should gang up on Sultan and call it a day.
  11. Rigth now you can join the NRA for free for one year, or half price for other lengths. http://www.nrahq.org/nrabonus/
  12. On the other hand, it could just be the drives spinning up. AKA - perfectly normal.
  13. Happy Birthday Jim. Glad you had a good one!

    Earth Hour

    Yep. I love "Earth Hour". Gives everyone a chance to make themselves feel like they did something to help the environment, then go on about their life. I too participate, however. I turn on every light in my house, run the A/C, and mix harmfull batches of heavy duty cleaning products to flush down my toilet. Really though... Anyone else feel like they are getting ripped off by the fluorescent light bulb industry? Mine seem to last a year at best, a couple weeks at worst. I thought these stupid things were supposed to last up to 5 years?
  15. Rich/popping - sounds like your timing is off. Does your car still have the standard distributor that you can rotate to adjust the timing? If so, you may wanna check that. Sounds like you're runnin better atleast. Hows the gas milage doin?
  16. Why the iridium? As for the gap, parts houses used to be glad to gap them for you when you bought them. Did you get em local or on the net?
  17. JCL >>>> I take it you're not a Cramer fan?
  18. Government created jobs don't help the economy. I could explain why, but this guy did a much better job -- http://www.gazette.com/opinion/government_...money_bill.html Also, Ive said it before and will say it again, FDR's "New Deal" made the great depression much worse than it had to be. In most other parts of the world the "great depression" was just an economic recession. America had it worse than virtually anyone else! The reason? The gub'ment trying to get us out of the depression! This latest bill is 10 times worse than what FDR did. This is what Jim Cramer has to say also -
  19. Here is her review for her husband's other business. Sounds like an actual customer - Pretty convincing - Amazing Huh?
  20. This is the crap that really burns my biscutts! As many of you know, many of the product reviews on the internet are fakes put out by their respective businesses. Often times it is VERY difficult to spot real reviews from the fake ones. Of course, most of the time one can only have suspicions, but no real proof, so the reviews don't get taken down. Recently I found a glaring fraud on the Yahoo Business Directory. Long story short, about a month ago, I rented a uhaul trailer, drove all the darn way to the opposite side of Atlanta, Georgia, to pick up a beautifull 1972 Ford Maverick LDO . The
  21. Ahemd wants talks on "equal footing". Complete BS. Imanutjob sees Obama as a little kid and is treating him as such. As far as he is concerned, Obama is a pawn in his chess game. If Obama isn't carefull, "talking" to him WILL make him Ahmed's pawn. Ya'll will see. Imanutjob is a VERY smart person.
