I think violence should be banned on these threads... actually, violence isn't possible in cyberspace, but I hear the Pentagon is working on a prototype. Peace, all, don't stay up fighting all night... ;)

EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING. THIS IS MY THREAD AND I MADE IT AS A JOKE TO DISTRACT PEOPLE FROM TALKING ABOUT THE WAR!

SERIOUSLY, QUIT POSTING IN THIS THREAD!

Whose fightingâ?¦??? I think maybe your taking our bickering too serious. Itâ??s not possible to talk about politics or religion without things getting a little hairy at times.

You canâ??t just start a thread on a controversial topic and then tell people to stop posting in it. I suppose you canâ?¦.but itâ??s a shame it was a good thread.

Thatâ??s all

i like a little friendly bickering now and then anyways

OK. I love you 2 girls.

i know you do.

Anyway, you're a cool, rational voice and I respect you. The problem I see isn't so much a problem so long as people show respect for differences as a guiding principle when they/I/we post.... Peace, man!

I enjoy discussing the difficult issues that affect the world, and I ESPECIALLY like to hear a good opposing argument. What I don't like about politics forums, in general, is that the arguments end up parrotting the talking points of the political extremists on cable news TV.

I'd just like to drop the labels and generalizations, and associated name-calling, and just discuss issues using our own thoughts, ideas and experiences. It should be passionate, but not personal. In the end, someone might even change their mind.

I find it interesting that lots of people here are defending a particular political party, when both parties have failed US .... and make/enforce laws that continue to put marijuana users in the unemployment line or in jail. While I have to pass a drug test if I wanna work at Walmart, Patrick Kennedy drives the streets of DC with his latest drug addiction ... End of Rant ...

And How bout Jonathan Papalbon ??? Papi HAD to hit the walkoff because everybody knew that Papalbon was done for the day.

7 Stars & Stripes torched in B'klyn

BY ALISON FOX and ROBERT F. MOORE
DAILY NEWS WRITERS

Coldhearted vandalsv torched seven American flags flying outside homes in Brooklyn - including the Stars and Stripes hung by the mother of a city firefighter after his death on 9/11.

"How could anyone do this?" asked Regina Coyle, the 55-year-old mother of slain Firefighter James Coyle, who died at the World Trade Center.

Regina Coyle - whose daughter is an NYPD cop - found the burned flag early yesterday outside her Marine Park home on the block named in honor of her heroic son.

She collected the flag's barely recognizable remnants and placed them inside a plastic bag. She then vowed to fly another flag outside her home on Avenue R near E. 36th St.

"You have to stand up for your neighborhood," she said. "You have to stand up for your country." "America has so much to offer."

Coyle's home was one of seven in the blue-collar neighborhood vandalized by the flag burners, who began torching the banners about 7 p.m. Wednesday.
None of the fires caused serious damage to homes in the neighborhood. Police said area teens were likely responsible for the vandalism, which was being investigated as a criminal mischief case.

Andre Mahe, 37, said he smelled smoke and heard his dog barking about 4a.m. outside his E. 38th St. home. But by the time he got outside and doused the flames with a garden hose, the flag was destroyed and the vandals were gone.

"If I had caught him, I would have beaten the living crap out of him," Mahe said. "We've had the flag out there for three years. If they're annoyed with the government, don't go around burning flags."

Three of the flags were burned on the 1700 block of E. 38th St. Two more were torched on the 1800 block of E. 36th St. and another two, including Coyle's, were ignited on Avenue R.

The other flag burned on Coyle's block belonged to Firefighter Brian Geissler.

Geissler joined the FDNY after the terror attacks and is assigned to Manhattan's Ladder 3 in Union Square - the same firehouse where James Coyle worked. Coyle had been on the job for only 10 months when he was killed.

A block away from Geissler's home, Michael Campbell, 39, an Army veteran, replaced his burned flag and saluted the new banner.

Thanks for the link. It finally helped me realize what the problem was. I kept hearing another link, that I had open in another tab, and the old man was just getting on my nerves. It was that Alex Jones' Terror Video, or something.

That's the most sexist statement that I've heard in a while.

Hi Likem,

You are DEFINITELY a girl !!!

It makes me chuckle at how many people assume you are a dude. Maybe it's the avitar or the username. Or it could be that you don't take no shit from people :).

Well, I agree that he is probably assuming that a male, or males, did it, but gender is not necessarily defined, in the English language, by the use of the word "him", "he", etc. The victim should have said "the person", but in this circumstance was just too angry to make the differentiation. Had Mahe said, "If I had caught the guy", without knowing the gender of the vandal(s), it would have been a sexist remark.

Ha ha thanks Donnie. It makes me chuckle too. My user name is pretty unisex and my avatar usually is too. I think itâ??s my forward/ aggressive manner that lead people to assume Iâ??m a guy. Those traits are normally associated with men. Iâ??ve always been like this and people either love me or hate me for it (especially men.) You think it throws people for a loop on line you should see their reaction in person.

There are a couple other chicks on here like that. â??thebathroomâ?� (I hope Iâ??m thinking of the right person) is one off the top of my head that is kinda hard to pin down.
