  1. Re:Are there not any leaks from Russia's gov't? on The Unsettling Relationship Between Russia and Wikileaks (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Russians care less about the ethics of their government than Americans and are therefore less inclined to leak information about it's unethical behavior.
    Many Russians think of Stalin as a hero, that should say enough.

    Are you really claiming that Greece would have been better off without the billions of dollars of subsidies they receive from the EU since 1981? You must be kidding.

    [...] Their claim to the land starts to look tenuous, or at least no stronger than that of any other later-wave migrants to North America.

    Following your logic illegal immigration (to the US) should not be illegal; these migrants are just part of newer wave whose claim to the land is at least as strong as all waves that came before. Including the one that brought so many Europeans and Africans.

    The West didn't sell Saddam chemical agents, Iraq manufactured them by itself.

    Iraq's 'hidden' chemical weapons: US 'covered up' discovery of chemical weapons after 2003 invasion – with many are now in Isis’s hands

    According to the Times, the reports were embarrassing for the Pentagon because, in five of the six incidents in which troops were wounded by chemical agents, the munitions appeared to have been “designed in the US, manufactured in Europe and filled in chemical agent production lines built in Iraq by Western companies”.

    [Powell] seems to mention chemical weapons a lot

    Iraq's 'hidden' chemical weapons: US 'covered up' discovery of chemical weapons after 2003 invasion – with many are now in Isis’s hands

    It was also reportedly embarrassing for the US government that had found chemical weapons – but not of the kind that they had claimed existed.

    "W" is the 23rd letter of the alphabet, W = 23 = 2 X 3 = 6 : WWW = 666.

    This I've never understood. What's wrong with WWW = 232323, 216 (6 X 6 X 6), or even 2 (2 X 1 X 6 = 12, 1 X 2 = 2)?
    When to multiply digits and when not seems kind of arbitrary to me.

    Why don't we ask the atheist communists that imprisoned, tortured, and murdered people for going to church?

    What has that to do with this thread about the number of the beast?

    But I'd guess that you would get the same answer from them as other groups that have imprisoned, tortured, and murdered people for their beliefs; it is for the good of the community, or even humanity.

    BTW, why single atheist communists out from other ideological or religious nut cases?

    Exactly, the euphemism "tracking" should be dropped and it should be called by its proper name: stalking.
