You are a well spoken hysterical nutcase. There is a big difference between economic dislocation and actual war. Fudging the meaning of war like that is bad semantics. Widespread acceptance of your viewpoint would lead to real troops fighting with real bullets and real people dying. Unfair economic policies can be tackled without resorting to inflammatory rhetoric like "American businesses are traitors". No they are merely making rational choices given the realities created by American trade policy. Want to make them fair? Change the policies so that the rational choices lead to jobs at home.
And China and America are not enemies, but if everyone says it enough they will be.
1) The rioters are not illegal aliens. They are second and third generation French citizens.
2) They are not segregated by choice. They are segregated by poverty.
3) They are not unemployed by choice. They are unemployed because of the structural discrimination made possible by French labor laws and pervasive xenophobia.
4) Look, it's what happens when a culture doesn't insist that immigrants conform. Perhaps the most incorrect assertion out of the many in your post. France has produced a hard edged integration policy - as in no multiculturalism, no affirmative action, nothing that would acknowlege immigrants as different from other French and therefore requiring special government help. The policy has gone far enough as to infringe on personal freedoms (ie no head scarfs) in a way that would not be possible in America.
Perhaps you and your cousins should spend less time raiding and more time establishing law, order and democracy in Somalia.
Easy for you to say from the comfort of your chair. What do you know of the anarchic reality of a failed nation? In a similar situation you would probably be loading up on brown pants. So don't be such an ass.
Also as a side benefit, thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis are dead, terrorists have firmly established an infrastructure, and the country is slipping towards civil war and disintegration.

Europeans start up democracies every chance they get.
Pardon me while I choke on that. Way to compress 2000 years worth of history. Europeans do *not* start democracies every chance they get. It took a long time, with many fits and starts to get Europe where it is today.
What I never understood is if you use the phone with prepaid minutes, how do you get a number for that phone? If there is no fixed carrier who assigns the number for you?
This a quick and dirty way to improve the Windows experience for a civilian. This is especially useful when someone is infected but you don't have time or the energy to do a full cleanup.
Most spyware (popups, toolbars etc) are implemented as something called BHOs or Browser Helper Objects that function as plugins to IE. When the user performs an action like going to a certain site, the BHO intercepts it and does its nefarious work, e.g reporting your action back to mothership, giving the user a popup etc.
Therefore all you have to do is disable BHO functionality in Internet Explorer to deactivate the spyware and give the user some relief.
In IE go to Tools=>Options=>Advanced and deselect "Enable third-party browser extensions". If the computer is Win XP SP2 then also go to Tools->Manage Add-ons and disable all the suspicious objects.
As a side-note when is someone going to go after the heads of the spyware hydra? I'm talking about the "marketing" companies like FindWhat.com who fund the spyware makers and rake in the money ($169 million last year)?
The ml_ipod plugin has been out for a while now. I'm surprised it took so long for people to notice it. I've been using to manage my Ipod mini and it works great. Its good for a lot more than copying songs to a hard drive. Its a complete iTunes replacement.
Asides from being burdensome and creating a chilling atmosphere for foreign students, how is it really going to help? There are too many ways around it.
Information flows more freely than ever in todays world, and these restrictions just add up to more bureaucratic nonsense while doing little to boost American security.
Crusades were a defense of territory historically owned by the Roman Empire peacefully for over a thousand years against its invasion and subjugation by Islamic hordes conquering and plundering their way out of Arabia.
Nonsense. By the time the Crusades started, Muslim powers had controlled the Holy Land for 4 centuries. If that is what you call a defense it got a pretty late start.
No the Crusades were fueled by bigotry, parochialism and (later) greed.
Written in a easy conversational style, but full of gross over simplification..
e.g check page 19, he makes it sound like the first methods of working iron were introduced by the British in the 15th century. Um hello, iron working techniques have been around since quite a few centuries B.C. This type of stuff makes me take this book with a grain of salt.
I have to add, while the role of Islamic science in preserving and transmitting knowledge from Greek, Egyptian, Chinese and Indian societies was important, it wasn't the only one. Muslim scientists did a lot of ground breaking work in astronomy, medicine, geometry and algebra.
Abu Bakr al-Razi (844-926) made the first connection between bacteria and infection. Omar Khayyam better known as a poet, made significant contributions to the solution of cubic equations by geometric methods involving the intersection of conics. Nassereddine al-Tusi is credited as the founder of modern trigonometry, separating it from astronomy.

As a side note, any time you hear a scientific type term starting with 'al' it came from Arabic. That includes algebra, algorithim, alcohol, alkali
Kashmir is majority Muslim, and its inhabitants want to either join Pakistan or become independant. Its not just the terrorists who want Kashmir out of India, its the Kashmiris themselves.
Human rights abuses have been committed by both the Indian army and militants. The Indian army has been accused of killing 50,000 people in Kashmir since 1989. http://www.hrw.org/reports/1999/kashmir/

First of all that is that site is not free, the Indian one will be.
The Cochrane Library consists of a regularly updated collection of evidence-based medicine databases
And from what I can see it has nothing to do with traditional medicine.

Cool. I won't. Let me know when you get some. Or a clue.
Care to tell me which one of my points are not true? Thought so.

"because the Koran rejects the distinction between religious and political authority, Islamic civilization cannot easily coexist with democracy."
So does Catholicism. Yet there are Catholic democracies. So whats your point?
Europeans start up democracies every chance they get.

Its just so much easier to make minor changes when you have 10 minutes to spare.
Half the posts here are excuses for the U.S not placing. Stop rationalizing people, and just accept what happened.

Because the CD probably has DRM on it too, these days.
I have seen plenty of CDs with DRM. I have yet to see one that fazed my ripper of choice, CDex.
So your first point is moot.
