Why, thank you Kidd. I hope this one is less completely insane than the other 2 I've put on ignore. There's also a few others I've had who kinda trailed away from me in frustration. I'm sure shrub would like to practice eugenics on me and others who seem to have some sort of genetic immunity to the Borg that resists "assimilation". The assimilation of Iraq is proving difficult for them. So they've chosen the flat-out kill 'em solution it appears...since chalabi turned out to be a "defective" unit (due to his carrying of an asymmetric virus from Iran) and proto-assimilation via "sovereignty handover" to allawiBorg didn't work.

tsk, tsk ... Currently it is Fool_of_the_west Borg." You're such a disappointment kid... Let us begin here: The pervasiveness of name calling used in your posts leads me to think that you have found some sort of refuge in this practice. Therefore I am compelled to point out the following: This activity has led men to madness, to engage in battle and in the slaughter of their fellowmen. It has stirred men and women to commit acts that result in prison terms and it has been the source of ruined reputations. We know that name-calling links a person, or idea to a negative symbol. This can be applied to other people groups, gangs, tribes, educational institutions, political parties, neighborhoods, states, sections of the country, nations, races, etc. The use of this technique is inclined to move an audience to reject a person or idea on the basis of the negative symbol, rather than a review of the available evidence. Does name-calling add validity to the topic or position being discussed? If not, then it detracts from honorable discourse. Does name-calling tend to dismiss otherwise valid points from consideration? If so, then its only value is as a tool of propaganda. You could do much better, it requires a commitment to nobility of character. Not for the faint of heart... Best Regards, Jewel Repost from yesterday Message 20404691
