Originally posted by 97dakota I didn't say anything about killing every muslim. I said remove the threats, meaning the worst threats to the United states. meaning, iraq, suadi arabi, maybe even turkey, north korea not neccesarily muslims.

I didn't say muslims either, just pointed them out as part of 'this' conflict.. there are plenty of people in other religions that don't like us too.. you said remove 'every threat'.. that's a huge number of people on a global scale, muslims +..

Originally posted by 97dakota 50% of adults can't read at a 10th grade level. where is the proof. just curious.

it was on the news the other day as an investigative report.. People were complaining about how hard it was to install a car seat and how the directions were confusing.. The report said that the instructions were written at a 10th grade level, and that studies have found that 50% of the adults in the US can't read at that level..

If you really want, I can try to find some link for that on the web.. but, as always, anything on the web is subject to interpritation as to it's validity.. I'm sure we could find the info on a reasonably reliable site though.. Perhaps it's on fedstats.gov?

I agree that this should not be made personal.. but I'm sure you see what I said to RangerMan and his apparent lack of language skills.. I have a hard time respecting someone who isn't even intelligent enough to use proper grammer. I suppose I should have expounded on why I made the teaching comment.. It's mostly because you typed 3 paragraphs and near 17-ish (guessing) sentencase, and not ONCE used a period or capital letters.. Kind of bothers me to think someone is teaching my kid (not you directly, but you get the idea) that isn't willing or able to properly communicate in the written language.. Just makes me wonder what our kids are really being taught in our schools today (but then, we all know the US has one of the worst educational systems in the developed world)..

 

Again, I appologize for the personal attack.. It isn't conducive to a reasonable debate and it's something I call people on all the time (though, it's usually a much more blantant attack than what I've done.. but the subversion intended with my attack is no less present, and for that I appologize)..

Thanks for the applogie, oh and I teach math and physics, no grammer or sentence correction needed, in the some 28,000 (approx) posts I have made though out all the boards I am a memeber at, I have never really once worried about sentence structure, because I am worried about the idea or the question or the answer getting across, and because I have yet to use a period or a captial letter does not mean I cant communicate the language, and I am not trained as a teacher by profession, the school where my mother teaches at lost two teachers with in a week at the start of the year and I filled a void and the schedule works out for me, between teaching and going to class and soccer practice, (thinking about trying out for an indoor team soon, before I am too old), I have been observed multiple times with out ever once taking a education class or methods class in college, but my kids are learning and doing just fine, except a handful that are not willing to learn or dont have the desire to open a text, but thats irrelevant, oh and another thing, I cant spell, lol

peace -

Out of what? I'm not sure what he is talking about...I've made one statement on this thread and his response was dirrected in what way toward lack of language skill? But its cool...if he has to take personal shots at me to get his points across it is his problem...reminds me of a certain congressman...Tom Dashcle.

.. The only other reason is to secure the oil.. We claim that we will be 'securing' the oil fields to prevent 'ecological disaster', but that's flat out BS..

Reality update...the oilfields are burning and if wwe qwanted to take them we had them in 91...and gave them back.

PEACE

OMFG! STOP comparing Saddam to Hitler! Even the so called 'experts' realize that that is a stupid comparison.. Hitler was marching across Europe, Saddam is still in Iraq.. HUGE difference there, ya think?

Reality update redux. Saddam gassed people, Hitler gassed people. Hitler overran regional neighbors in a quest for power...just like Saddam. Hitler signed and broke treaties on a whim...like Saddam. Hitler lied about arms builduos...like Saddam. Hitler used western liberals for cover...like Saddam. Yes some people do think...but then some won't.

PEACE
