3. The worst attack on America by
a foreign people in history happened under the Republicans.

Let's not ever forget that.

5. It's working very well.
Most Americans, Dems and Pukes alike, think we're in some kind of holy war against nineteen dead guys and an amateur inspirational speaker.

6. at the same time as I opened this message........
..I was watching Bill Maher and he was talking about defeating evil too!! Either me or you must be telepathic!

And to me, the whole idea of defeating evil is kind of bizarre. As if one group of people has a copyright on evil!!

To me, people consist of both good and bad (evil). Even if you defeat a race of people that you believe are evil, there will still be evil in the world!

And as Andrew Sullivan said recently.....evil is eternal. You don't defeat it. I'm not as religious as he is but on this one, I think he's right.

12. there is no evil, only weakness
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 10:43 PM by Poseidan
Evil is defined as something harmful. Religions create a pain/pleasure fantasy world, exemplified by heaven and hell. Harm, actually, is a simple, absolutely essential part of the Universe... part of evolution. If something hurts you, you build a defense against it, so it can't hurt you again, thus evolution has made you more capable of perpetuating survival.

Obviously, the policy of hunting terrorists abroad is not evolution. If we went into Russia after terrorists, in the same fashion we went into Iraq, it would be suicide. Going into Iraq was a disaster, and everyone knows it has not improved our survival capabilities, and instead, made them worse.

11. It is such a corn ball idea that a big power like the USA would
be suckered into that lie.
