Re: WW2 whatif: No Material Aid for USSR

Nothing you said makes any sense. The Soviets invaded Finland after Germany attacked Poland. Why would Stalin interprete the US dropping a nuke on Berlin as an attempt to play fascists and communists against each other? And the Soviets wouldn't test their first nuclear weapon until 1949.

Re: A different sort of question?

High school physics isn't really "high math", especially when it just involves remembering a formula. Come on, harder questions!

Re: Kennedy - I'm dying so we should reform healthcare.

I call this the Reeve effect. Maddox put it perfectly. No one gives a fuck about anything until it affects them personally. Cram it up your ass, Teddy - we needed this long before now. Can you do 10 seconds of fucking research before you start slandering someone? Not only does this not effect Kenne...

Re: Will Obama make change?

Wow, that list is fucking hillarious. There's the obvious lies (apparently Bush hasn't been pushing abstinence only for seven years), the fake agreements (both of them have tax cuts plans, no need to examine how different they are). and the absurdely obvious agreements (both of them think AIDs is ba...

Re: Stephane Dion Plaigiarising? (blog)

A quick check on Wikipedia reveals Stephane Dion was born in Quebec, i.e., the part of Canada whose residents like to pretend they live in France instead of a Dominion of the British Empire. Insert appropriate Francophobic joke here. Was there any point to this post other than to prove your total i...

A question about Eisenhower's farewell address

In 1961 Eisenhower said this: We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century that has witnessed four major wars among great nations. Three of these involved our own country. I'm assuming the three wars that America was involved in were WWI and WWII and the Korean war. My question is what was ...

What is the record of churches actually losing their their tax exempt status due to endorsements? I doubt these are the first ones to do so explicitely (and certainly large numbers do it implicitely) but is the law actually enforced, especially against large churhces?

I don't see the need for banning all polls from N&P. True, posts that merely say "I voted x" are pointless, but they can be discouraged. A poll is an easy way to see the general opinion of the board on a particular issue. Plus there simply aren't that many of them. For the month of Aug...

This whole argument about Bush's pardons seems academic. Does anyone really believe that the telcom companies would ever be prosecuted, even if they don't have immunity? Any the idea that the Democrats would have the guts to go after Bush is just laughable.
