It's not the original video(bloody hard to find with hundreds of people reacting on youtube), but at least it's in there.

This is something where the right on free speech should end. She has every right to think that. But, as she's a representative, she crossed a line.

BTW: she's wrong about civilisations and homosexuality though. The ancient greeks embraced it and lasted a bit under 1000 years tongue

tavius, it's their choice, not ours to choose how they decide to live. They were invaded and have every right to regain their independence if they see that as best. I'm not talking about internal struggles, but I doubt the chinese government is better...

"There was an agreement (that every nuclear country in the world was signing) to reduce nuclear weapons, USA refused which made Russia refuse. Now. If USA would start reducing the nuclear weapon arsenal then they could ask other countries to do the same. They do not however, so they have no authority in this at all, meaning that this is no base for an invasion."

Bollocks. There was indeed such an agreement, and they were both dismanteling atomic bombs for a long time. Then the US decided to work on the Star Wars project again after the 9/11 attacks, and now they're both competing again..

"because of the way the world thinks nowadays, sexual endos, and perversiveness, people think that is what a relationship with GOD is, i believe, i could be wrong,  you said it yourself CT that it was like a homosexual relationship(i could be quoting you wrong, forgive me), so i just keep reminding people that it is not like that at all."

I only emphasized that psychological research seem to conclude that a man's image of God (who's male in most cases) is a subliminal version of homosexuality cause it's taboo'd in those societies..

I think there was never a UFO near our planet. If another species is able to construct an object that can travel at the speed of light, it would still take them such bloody long time to get here. I think that's a serious barrier that makes it rather impossible tongue

"Real quick, got a few holes and historical inaccuracies?  I'd love to see/discuss them a bit."

Yeah, I could give some.
For example, there's no historical, geological or archaeological evidence for the Deluge or big flood as described in the Bible. The only thing that comes close is the breaking of the Bosporus, changing the Black sea into a saltwater sea, while it was a lake before that. But that happened quite some time before people even started to settle, or even knew how to make a large ship wink
I should give myself some more time to come up with others (perhaps after wednesday, when my uberimportant assignment is done)

"we know we must focus on them all.  Its not a "pick and choose" book"

That's exactly what it is. Every book in the new testament was valued and then added or rejected, making it a very filtered version. There are a lot of apocryphe testaments, like the one of Magdalena, or Peter or Thomas. So it's exactly a "pick and choose" book.

""evolution is hocus-pocus and hand waving.  Bring me a fossil record, bring me proof... And yet we accept it so freely.  I know that micro-evolution occurs, I don't have a problem with that.  But macro stands on weak, weak ground.""

Oh, and there's solid proof for creationism? The only thing that comes even close to prove it is the existance of the rivers "tigris" and "euphrates". Accepting the existance of DNA and DNA alterations (like with the creation of a new genetic being, or less positive cancer), is evolution on a small scale. Accepting that, is accepting evolutionism. It's true that we don't know everything about it yet and that there are serious question marks to resolve. Creationism on the other hand is nothing more then bogus. I don't understand why people still believe in it, when the alternative doesn't exclude a deist view (and thus a religious view) on the matter. Believing in creationism is not listening to arguements and locking yourself up in a non-existant mentally projected world..

"I don't see how neoKeynesian projects aren't the same thing as printing money and throwing it away.  At least my way we'd retire some debt with it."

It's a boost to the economy. Indeed, the government is making some debts, but it benifits the economy. Printing extra money on the other hand just causes inflation, wich isn't helping the economy at all, and can only be used to get rid of some debts.

"China is the New Socialist dream state w/a Capitalist slant."

WTF? China's regime is despised as much as your war in Iraq for us lefties wink

What's going on in Tibet is a disgrace. I don't even understand why China's so keen on keeping it. It's a barren wasteland that has absolutely no economical benefit. Perhaps it's some strategic matter..
