-Pushing for abstinence only education. Which in turn, I feel, increases the chance of divorce. Sex playing a good role in any strong relationship.

All of the websites I've seen, mention both Abstinence AND contraceptives are the reasons why they have seen a drop in Teen Pregnancies. Frankly, whatever the reason, I'm just glad that the rate is dropping and continueing to drop.
BTW: I never mentioned Abstinence was the reason for what I posted.

There was a study done in Canada this year by Mcleans magazine. By the age of 14, 50% of Canadian teens have had sexual intercoarse. Now this was just a poll but it wasn't to justify having sex or not, it was looking at the facts. Maybe it's working the in the US but not in Canada.

Why don't we just sever the Union along the Mason-Dixon line and let the South reform their Jesusland. That way we can have our own president and policies and not have to explain-to-the-world/suffer through the far-right's idiocy. That, and we'd actually be able to keep our tax dollars instead of spending it on the Bush states.

It is the same. Under international law, an attack on an embassy is an attack against that country. That is what the International Law states. Under this, an Embassy is considered part of that nation's homeland, therefore an attack on it is an attack on the homeland of that nation.
Doesn't matter what International Law states. By that same token, if someone bombed an embassy on the US mainland, then you're saying that nation has the right to attack the US, regardless of who was actually to blame. That's absurd and you know it. Homeland implies that it is land that can only be taken away either by force or by voluntary turn over. An embassy is neither. Embassy sits on land that was loaned to us and can be taken away at any time. There is a HUGE difference there.
No but alas, I was playing on your scenerio. Accidental or not, it could've been considered an act of war and under international law, it actually was. Look at the German sub attacks during WWI! Americans were killed aboard the Lusintania and we warned Germany and they stopped unrestricted warfare. They went back to it and killed a couple of more americans aboard another ship. Between that and various other factors, the US declared war on Germany and attacked. We were an innocent bystandered and got dragged into WWI. An accident can spark a war or a battle for that matter. Gettysburg comes to mind of an accidental engagement. Neither side planned it but it occured none the less. And walking outside in a middle of a bombing raid and he gets hit, he gets what he deserved for being stupid enough to do that.
Are you saying the German sub attacks were accidents that lead to war? I'm not sure here. If so, then that's absurd, since they were deliberate attacks anyway, it wasn't a stray torpedo that randomly curled around, spun out of control and shot off at some random ship out in the middle of nowhere. And we weren't really innocent bystanders.
You just proved my point. The man that got hit by the bomb because he walked outside. He was stupid to do that. So does that mean his nation should suddenly declare war over a stray bomb?
When it comes to national defense, it should. We tossed foreign relations out the window after Pearl Harbor for the most part. When a country is bent on war, you can't negotiate. When a nation is known to harbor terrorists and won't give them up...then they can be accused of abiting the terrorists thus making themselves a target. Afghanistan comes to mind as does Iraq.
Afghanistan was a necessary and valid target. Iraq was not. I'm not going to bother debating it because it's been done to death as it is, but there is enough documentation and research to prove that there were no outright terrorist connections in Iraq and it has been noted before in the past that Saddam was not a friend of terrorism, regardless of the fact that he used it among his own people. There's evidence to counter just about every excuse Bush has used to ratify going to Iraq...so ick to it.
There was an verifiable act of war done by terrorists. That being a Declaration of War by Osama against the US and all the terror attacks committed by them from the 1993 WTC attack to the embassy bombings, to Kobar towers, to the USS Cole! All of these were acts of war and we knew who did it. Clinton did nothing but lob cruise missiles that did little damage. Now on to your statement about doing something if they're harboring criminals. You just made the case for Iraq and Afghanistan. Both nations have harbored terrorists and should've been dealt with alot sooner than 2003 and 2001 respectively.
Iraq I just discusses earlier, so yeah. We're off Clinton at this point since I already admitted that he made a bad move with all the terrorist things.
You have to then put into consideration why the terrorists have done what they did. They have reason. They weren't born with a genetic disposition to hate Americans. What did we do to them to spark such hatred in the first place? Could we fix that problem now? Probably not, whatever it is. It's too entrenched in the terrorist world at this point that we're evil doers. Something has to be done about it and i supported Bush for Afghanistan, he did a great job with that at first. I was satisfied, then all went to hell and he hit Iraq. I at first furiously supported his attack there, not knowing a damn thing about it. Then I wised up and started to read and well, I don't support him in this. I support the troops 100 percent, I want them home. I support our war on terrorism, and I support the war on Afghanistan, but everything else has gone to the shitter. I dunno anymore, I'm just scared for this country at this point.

Point of Fact: Under those conditions, the rest of the world should have no say in what the US does to defend itself.
I'd beg to differ. There's a line the US cannot cross. We do that, well all hell will break loose and I'd prefer not to be overrun by orientals or some other national or a bunch of pillow fluffing diplomats or whatever. I like the US sort of as it is, has its problems, but yeah.

Embassy sits on land that was loaned to us and can be taken away at any time. There is a HUGE difference there.
No! Never said that at all. The group that bombed that embassy would be held responsible. The only way we can be held responsible is if we didn't cooperate with that nation and turn over the people that did it. For example, the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were both bombed by Al Qaeda. Both nations helped us in investigating them which lead to the blame of Al Qaeda thus instituted a search for the culprits in both nations in cooperation with the US Secret Service and the FBI! If they didn't cooperate then they could be found as an accomplis of it. Also, and I'm getting tired of repeating it, the ground where the Embassy sits on is considered territory of that nation. Therefor an attack on that nation's embassy is an attack on the homeland of that nation since that embassy, by international law, is attached to the land back home. And yes, the embassy can be turned back over. Your right, it is a loan but to take it back at anytime would seriously damage relations with that nation.

If so, then that's absurd, since they were deliberate attacks anyway, it wasn't a stray torpedo that randomly curled around, spun out of control and shot off at some random ship out in the middle of nowhere.

Never said they were accidents. The attacks where on purpose because the Brits were dumb enough to haul war materials on them thus making them a legal military target. Problem was, Americans got killed and our government hates it when our people get caught in the cross-fire of foreign wars going on.
You just proved my point. The man that got hit by the bomb because he walked outside. He was stupid to do that. So does that mean his nation should suddenly declare war over a stray bomb?
Now your proving my point and also added words to what I said. The man getting hit because he walked out in the middle of a raid was stupid and cost him his life. As for stray bombs, no its not grounds for war which is why nothing happened after a stray bomb hit the French Embassy in the 1980s in Libya after it was found that they were responsible for Pan Am flight bombing and the accidental hit of the Chinese Embassy during the Bosnian Campaign though I love the conspiracy theories that have evolved from these two incidents.

Actually Iraq was a necessary targets for a whole slew of different reasons. Your right, it has been debated to death and doesn't deserved to be rehashed here. However, I shall disagree with you on the terror link. Its been proven that he supported the terrorists in the Middle East. Most notably the Hamas and Hezbollah.

I could tell you why! Its because of Osama Bin Laden stating that Christians were on Muslim Holy Ground FORGETTING that we were invited BY the SAUDI government. Funny thing is, none of our people did anything to the Saudis and our forces respected the culture of Saudi Arabia. Also, our support for Israel. I can see both sides of this arguement and I can agree with both sides. How to fix it? That is an interesting question and if I could answer that, I would be rich and not having to worry about college. LOL!!

Just curious but what did you read? Did you read the history of Saddam Hussein or did you read something else?
The bit I've learned on Saddam was actually from a biography/documentary from the History Channel. It was pretty long and I missed the end section of it, but I got everything from his birth to halfway through his assumption of power. It talked a lot about his spoken word on people like Bin Laden and his policies at the time. It was interesting. There was another documentary I watched that dealt a lot with how Saddam treated "criminals" (I use quotes cause his idea of a criminal is..well pretty messed up compared to what the US considers a criminal). He did gruesome stuff. See, I totally agree that Saddam needed to be taken out. I think if we had lobbied more allies and what not and Bush said "look at all this crap Saddam is doing, he's a horrible man, look at this and this, these pictures, this and this, etc etc., please support me in getting rid of him" and I might have been like, Jesus get that bastard out. But first it's WMD's, then Terrorists, and who knows what else. Nevertheless, Iraq probably wasn't the best second target. There are better targets out there who are involved in terrorism, and it would have been more beneficial to clean out Afghanistan first and then move on, or lobby support from allies to take over the cleanup in Afghanistan so we could move on. I dunno. The fighting is stilling going on over there and it's not fair to our military to have to fight on two fronts when it isn't necessary. Blah, anyway. Good arguing with you by the way :P Glad it didn't come to calling eachother names, I have that affect on people sometimes. Usually when politics comes up in real life conversation, a person can't stand talking to me without getting angered lol.

Tell me something. How the hell can we trust U.N. reports on the WMDS if they were part of the oil for food scandal??

Corneliui, have you ever gotten the impression that a lot of Democrats are smoking a lot of hash, and not sharing?
I wonder at times but there are a few dems on here I like debating with!

Oh, okay then. I thought that was the point you were trying to draw on and I was having trouble figuring out what the heck you were talking about. As for the Americans, well our fault for putting them there I guess, but no I don't like Americans dying either. It sucks.
I don't like it either myself!
Maybe I'm missing the point of bringing this up to support your argument (not this particular bundle, but eh whole section on stray bombs and what not). But no need to argue, I don't think it's that important anyway. And conspiracy theories are oh so fun sometimes ;)
There are doseys of the ones I described above. BUAHAHAHA
I have a sneaking suspicion that he didn't like us beforehand. But yeah, that's a really lame reason to hate someone...lol
He did but our presence on Muslim Holy Ground did it!
The bit I've learned on Saddam was actually from a biography/documentary from the History Channel. It was pretty long and I missed the end section of it, but I got everything from his birth to halfway through his assumption of power. It talked a lot about his spoken word on people like Bin Laden and his policies at the time. It was interesting. There was another documentary I watched that dealt a lot with how Saddam treated "criminals" (I use quotes cause his idea of a criminal is..well pretty messed up compared to what the US considers a criminal). He did gruesome stuff. See, I totally agree that Saddam needed to be taken out.

I can buy what your saying but I believe that the situation is way to complex to study all of it without going insane. Your right, it was fun debating with you without the name calling. To much of that on here. I love these types of debate. Ever want to debate more, there are ways to contact me!

And not cooperating at all in this investigation going on. I say we withhold our money till the investigation is over.

Well, if we're arguing I hope it's not on Bush or anything with current US politics. Neither of us will convince the other because we feel far too strongly and hold on to our evidence like starving pygmies. I actually got in a debate with some guy the other day who was arguing WW2 info. It was on the Operation Sea Lion bit (Germany's plans to invade Britain) and all the evidence he supplied to say it couldn't happen were from an alternate history website. I gave up trying to argue right there. I was quoting from a book by Peter Fleming and he was quoting from some dilusional fiction writer lol. But yeah, his facts were just..yeah we won't go there, needless to say I had a migraine for a whole day reading his posts. I'm not sure why I found it necessary to babble about that, but hey, whatever right :P.
Arguments are good :).

Germany had the capacity to do so but alas, Operation Barbarossa got in the way. Besides, I love alternate history. And your right, we won't convince eachother but argueing about it is fun when done in a civilized manner.

Yea it did because they went with appeasement instead of doing something. Sounds like the modern day UN :-p

They had a pretty big window to do something, but they didn't. I like alternate history, but not when people use it to validate legitimate historical arguments. It was retarded. But the possibilities were there to successfully invade, whether they could defeat all of the British forces is pretty much a flip of a coin. But yeah, civilized argument is fun.
