Re: Strip search of teen ruled illegal

I'm glad it turned out the way it did. I agree it should have been 9-0. I should go read Thomas's opinion in it's entirety before stating this, but it sure sounds to me like he was acting as an activist instead of a constructionist on this one, and I have no use for the former regardless of their ...

Re: throwing Israel under the bus

Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.

Anyone question why the map Naethyn posted starts in 1946 when the area we are talking about has a historical background back to biblical times? The answer to that question is it's pure Palestinian propaganda bs.

Tikker what do you consider "long histories"? Like I stated before 200 years seems to be about the average expiration for democracy. We have quite a few current democracies around the world that got their start in the early 1800's and will very soon be hitting that 200 year mark. The relative ...

I wouldn't call the Civil War part of the US history when the government was stable.

That's a good point, although I think the reason we sort of get a pass on that one when historians consider the stability and running time is that the outcome was that our government was largely unchanged at ...

So what would need to be done to prove that it could work? The only way would be to test it, which by your definition would be a violation of the inalienable rights of the people it is being tested on.
