StevoR, I always love watching people expose their prejudices when they say, “If I was King” and claim that they have the cure for all that’s bad in the world. Because they always follow it with a list of things they’ll change if they where in charge. The list always includes things they’d force me to do in order to live up to ‘their’ standards and somebody always accuses that person of being prejudice in some way because of something on the list.

That is exactly why Al Gore lost in 2000 to a man who has a hard time tying his freaking shoes. Nobody ever trusts a person who tells them that they know what’s best for everybody.

Didn’t mean for this to turn into a rant against the government or Isreal or Islam or any of that. Just would like to see what the folks at NASA could do with that kind of funding, considering what they have been able to accomplish with what they have for a budget.

So if an adult Jehovah’s Witness refused a blood transfusion, you’d give him one anyway? For his own good? And I see you want to ban circumcision, which, I guess, would pretty much ban Judaism and Islam in this country. I can see your wanting to ban Judaism, given your raving anti-semitism, but I thought the muslims were your buddies. Live and learn, I guess.

Better yet, have some guys in brown uniforms smash the windows of the synagogues. And maybe you could round the Jews up to separate them from the Aryans — concentrate them in one, or a few places, so to speak. “Concentration camps,” you might say.

BTW, it’s “Palestinian.”
