Damn...not sure where to start as far as the thread goes.

I did want to say I noticed 120557's avatar and well...gee..it's vaguely disturbing at first glance. Two knees with a dogs head bowed and...

Was there peanut butter and shame involved?

The dog looks ashamed and well...the knees are splayed.

I don't mean to personally insult or attack you the picture is just too funny to ignore.

No, thats just one of Emilys' way of getting attention. She loves her head scratched. If some one wants to think of it otherwise, then they are the one with a problem.

wow....

Ummm I am not "some one wants to think of it otherwise" I am not suggesting you are a pervert.

I was just trying to inject some humor into the thread because I thought your avatar was cute and funny but still one that caught my eye because it was unusual.

I think, if you read my post, you would see that.

Perhaps I should get some big labels and post them at the end of my sentences that identify them. (Exasperation)

I wasn't refering to you, I was just making a statement. But I am glad you see some humor in thinks on this thread. It gets to serious sometimes. Have fun and live to the utmost.

My dog drugg his butt on my carpet Sunday...he is retarded ya know.

Well, after reading over the last 5 pages of disheartening name calling, I can see that the topic has degraded itself into nothing but baseless insults. Hopefully one of these days people will realize that you can disagree without being right or wrong (even when both people are working with the same facts).

When it comes to war with Russia, I don't think there's a clear answer. My personal opinion is that it would be a very close conflict, although there is certainly evidence which supports the opposing view as well. I do dispute anyone who claims it would be "easy", but again there is no way to prove or disprove that.

As for the person who mentioned that this thread turned into a worthless "who could kick who's ass" thread...I think that it was a pretty informative thread. Nothing like some good controversy to enlighten people. Sure it got a little ugly, and of course the sources have to be weighed (how do we know which news reports to trust), but it was intellectually stimulating, and that's worth a lot.

Chaz - Thanks for the civility and intelligent debate. Congrats on the job and good luck.

If you are talking about me and Fanta, we are good friends. It's what we do, have always done, and will always do and when he needs someone to go to bat for him he knows I will be there as will he for me.

Yayyyyyy !!!
