Then why was the last massacre of Kurds cited in the run-up to the war a massacre that took place during the Reagan Administration? The Kurds were effectively under US administration since 1991 thanks to the no fly zones, and the last major Shiite massacre was during 1991-2, when the US had made it pretty clear that it would look the other way while Saddam took out his frustrations on his own citizens. There is no question that Saddam and his henchmen were brutal thugs, mass murderers. But that doesn't mean the slaughter was happening every day.
This Glick guy came in with a pre-rehearsed script that he wanted to recite
No he didn't. You should actually watch the interview before taking this stand. O'Reilly's only point in having the guy on the show was to insult him and browbeat him. And his comments about the kid's dead father were shameful. And, frankly, I thought the kid did a great job of holding his own under the circumstances.
I'm having trouble with these vague responses; perhaps not enough people have responded to this question. Can someone indicate whether Russ Feingold of Wisconson voted against the Patriot Act?
Exactly! Why spend $70 for something you basically plug in and use, when you can spend more money, and then spend 3 days reading HOWTOs and compiling things before realizing that this solution won't work on your Mac and you missed the show you wanted to record anyway?
You have got to be kidding. Read the link yourself, AC. Since when is it Fox's job to explain the law to people? Here they went out of their way to do so, and in fact they got the law wrong. So they lied to students, telling them that they were committing a felony, not by lying on an affadavit, but by voting in Arizona, if they didn't plan to stay there forever. In other words, they were discouraging people from voting. Got it?
Thanks for posting that link. In my mind, Fox News deserves far more condemnation for openly discouraging students from voting in this manner, than does this professor for encouraging students to vote. The stark contrast between the incidents is telling.
Does it say in the article that the professor would not accept an explanation of a decision not to vote as a substitute for the assignment? I know if I were the professor I would, and I think it would be entirely reasonable to require the assignment and then deal with such objections on a case by case basis. I don't see how this differs from the class on death that someone mentioned earlier that requires students to visit the morgue. Any student with an objection can certainly voice that, and the teacher can deal with the objection in the situation. Were I a school administrator, I would defer to the teacher's judgement as to whether an alternative assignment would be acceptable.
On another note, I wonder what the reaction would be to a class assignment that required students to attend a football game.
Which crime rate statistics? You're going to have to be more specific than that. I know of no evidence suggesting that crime is higher among gay and lesbian couples than among heterosexual married couples, or that the latter turn out more criminal children. Also, I think you'll find that for some family crimes, like spouse abuse and child molestation, the statistics are much higher among family members who identify as "heterosexual" (even in the case of men abusing boys, for example). So I think you're completely wrong.
The first time I get a phone call that says "Hi! How are you? I call you in order to have your advice! See you later! Thanks," I think I will kill someone.
So? That's patrilinearity, I believe. Patriarchy is not just about the last name. A more appropriate question in this context: Is your mother your father's property? His servant?

here's one view of what his administration could have been doing a month earlier.
He was probably in cahoots with that "Peace Train" terrorist. These times call for drastic action. It's time to lock up all musicians!
After all, I think US interrogators also have a lot of questions for its elusive Colonel.
No - he means this one.

Nope; these are Noble prizes; they are only awarded to nobility, like Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

According to googlism (4th definition), this cereal is properly called "shithead." More information here.

I agree.
If you don't get the electronic leash on them by the time they are one month old, you might as well just give up the kid for adoption.
To be fair, there were a lot of 26 year olds with the great idea of getting a bunch of 50 year olds to invest in their bad ideas....
Chairs. Comfortable chairs.
That's it! I'm going to Moe's!

So? The student can allege whatever they want whether or not they vote.
Well, perhaps the elections are taking place during the unit on tragedy. Or comedy.
