So, you don't agree with any of these statements?

1) George Bush is a questionable President.
2) George Bush is a BAD President.
3) George Bush is a good President.
4) George Bush is a great President.

I think that might officially qualify you as being argumentative.

1) George Bush is a questionable President.
2) George Bush is a BAD President.

but the question wasn't whether he was bad, but how bad. or perhaps, how much of his bad was intentional. But now, dad is back, and I know you're not a fan, but I am personally greatly relieved to see the dadster pulling the strings.

7) The Iraq war is going about as well as it can.
8) The Iraq war is SNAFU.

Most of the ideas I have about how we should "change course" that have come from politicians have actually been worse than the current course. The only really good ideas i've heard have come from this forum. At the moment, I think the situation looks like it's headed for the "better than I could have hoped" solution of peace between sunni's and shi'ia. I think we have a responsibility to defend the borders now, and nothing more. In short, I agree with Donald Rumsfeld. Never thought I'd say that. I'm still kind of sick about the casualty total.

9) America is the shining beacon of hope and freedom for the world.
10) America is effed up.
11) America is a country of good and bad, like many others before it.
12) America is trying it's best to stand for truth and justice.
13) In America, truth and justice can be bought, as OJ taught us.
14) America is a land of hope.
15) America is too complex to label as 'good' or 'bad'.

Yeah, I agree with all of these.

16) God exists.
17) God don't exist.

Both of these are true.

18) Joss is God.

This is true in the original sense of the word, spiritually speaking. A God is a man from godia, which literally, he isn't, but since no one is, as a great warrior/hero person, on a different level than the common man, joss is god. sure.

19) Something beyond our ken exists, be it God, the Force or whatever.

And its flow is older than time.

20) Abortion is killing.
22) Abortion destroys a baby's soul.

My pure RTL stance. no middlegound.

25) Firefly is one of the best tv shows ever.

sure.

26) Firefly is the best tv show ever.

I really thought about this, but the twilight zone is still the best show ever.

29) Firefly was commenting on todays world.

24) Abortion is a womans right.

HEY! You changed that one...but yeah, it should have been on the list, my bad. Not totally free of my male perspective

.

Let me ask: If a woman drinks an alcoholic drink, and suddenly finds that it's way too strong, and it begins to have effects on her that she never wanted to fully experience, is it her right to throw up? Or does God say that once you've taken something into your body, you must let it run it's course and that 'purging' yourself of that substance is a sin?

I know I'll hear it from the RR boys now; "An embryo IS NOT 'a substance'!!!!!!"
And to that I say: Yeah, I was a 'substance' until my brain formed, and I started sucking my thumb in the darkness (and that took some time, like months).
