It runs in the family

Trackhead made a valuation of a human being's worth based on that person's choices and the actions that followed those choices. You say you are sickened by that and attempt to liken TH to a well known historical event where valuations were made of people based on their race. These two different type of valuations are not even remotely similar. One is poison to a society, the other is necessary for a society to function.

You are either unable to see the difference between these two types of valuations or you view all valuations with disdain.

So, no. I am not supporting your argument. I am stating that it is flawed and misguided, and am disagreeing with it in the strongest terms.

read my post again, you might actually understand it. the point made is not that complicated.

if on the other hand his "he's trash - so no questions asked since he is trash" evaluation is right to you and essential for a society to function, then in fact a agree to disagree.

I guess you'll just figure out a way to hide your head in the sand and hope the problem goes away without doing anything? At least us morons have an idea how to proceed. It may not be perfect but at least we support trying something. Those who whine don't seem to have any ideas -- they just complain without adding anything useful to the table of options.

Yes, creating civil war in Iraq, raising Al Qaeda's profile in the Middle East to aid in terrorist recruitment and training, and depleting our military effectiveness and standing in the world was an excellent strategy. And no one ever suggested doing anything different.

Remember the rules: post first, then smoke crack, not the other way around.

depleting our military effectiveness

Don't you think you owe it to Bill Clinton to give him credit for this? I mean he did cut out military in half.

Are you the type that just hoped the schoolyard bully would go away and quit picking on you when you didn't do anything everytime he socked you in the face? Hippies don't usually win.

And as I mentioned... so your the kind of guy that advocates doing nothing and hiding your head in the sand? Do you hope the big bullies will just go away without you having to confront them? Time to grow a pair...

Good argument. When I'm responsible for a shitty situation that's what I do too--just call the guy who told me not to get into the shit a pussy for being smarter than I was.
Come to think of it, that's the Republican talking point for the war.
You're being a stupid fuck, but that's no surprise. Go back to parroting Jer's idiocy.

Don't blame Clinton:

Clinton’s last Secretary of Defense, William S. Cohen, had tried to get the Army to transform itself into a lighter, more expeditionary force. But Cohen, a Republican, was frustrated from the start. “I was coming into a Democratic Administration, and that had its own dynamic,” Cohen recalled. “I must say that President Clinton gave me total authority, so it wasn’t a question coming from him. But just dealing with the issue—how do you push transformation in a Democratic Administration? Is this something that’s weakening the military? The perception on the Hill would be ‘Here they go cutting back on the military powers of the Army.’ ”

I hope future generations of your family enjoy wearing berkas. They're probably going to be the new trend.

I'm confused, yet entertained.

Don't worry. Most people in France are too.

You guys can trade in your dunce caps and you'll be none the wiser, so to speak.

Thats no way to talk about your family Dexter.

[Dexter Rutecki]

bzzzzzzzzt, wrong. that would be H.W. Bush & Rummy, not Clinton.

besides, it was necessary at the time -- remember, the cold war was over.

All the virgins are gone, the suicide bombers claimed 'em all when they blew their arms, legs, and heads across the streets for allah.

All we have left are hookers and other disease ridden ho's.

So you might want to hold off until we replenish the pool of viable virgins.

As mentioned waaay upthread, sounds like a fued that was out of control and turned out bad for everybody involved.

Bode Miller's free-spirited hometown split over shootings

FRANCONIA, New Hampshire (AP) -- Liko Kenney, described by friends as a free-spirited "Hippie kid," had a history of bad blood with police Cpl. Bruce McKay. So there was the potential for trouble when a traffic stop brought them together again.

Within minutes of the Friday stop, both were dead, dividing this town's 924 residents between those who see McKay as a fallen hero and those who considered him a bully with a badge.

"It's a tragic situation -- two men lost and two families devastated," said Steve Heath, owner of the Franconia Village Store.

Beyond that, there's little agreement about the tragedy in Franconia, where local Olympian Bode Miller -- Kenney's cousin -- is royalty. His image appears on posters, signs and keepsakes all over town.

Wow, if that's what hippies do, (gun down people and trample them with their cars), then I don't want to meet any hippies anytime soon.

Yep after further research it seems I was misinformed. This just shows I can't believe everything I hear. Thanks for pointing that out.

Bode Miller also chafed against McKay, telling Sports Illustrated that he contested a 2005 speeding ticket in part to antagonize the officer.
