    An amusing picture, even if you meant to type "lose" and suggest the opposite. :)

    Now what's the point of starting a spelling flame here. We use language to communicate, and as long as the poster's meaning is communicated, then why does it matter if their spelling's a little off.

    Let's face it, it's not like there's any doubt that the OP simply miss-spelled "apatite" and was using the term "loosing the apatite" as a witty new term for mudslinging...

    Uhhh, riiiiiight.

    After we called it off prematurely the last time, we had no justification for going in this time. We should have done it right the first time, or stayed the hell out.

    I got no problem with war. But when someone trumps up a reason to do it, it pisses me off.
