Intelligence beats random chance every time. Lets say we're playing a game where the high number wins, you roll 2 dice, I write down a number... Assuming standard d6, I write down 13 and you lose. I doesn't matter how good your random mutation is, it doesn't beat my designed plan.
Hey, The American people obviously are tired of all the lies in politics, and any sort of straightforwardness is inately appealing. Hence the popularity(at the grassroots level) of McCain, Bradley, Keyes, etc. Many don't care what you believe anymore so much that you believe. Bradley IMO was as far from the center(to the left) as I am(to the right) but he seemed to have a core set of beliefs that drove him. Gore, not so much.
You are factually wrong. Congress authorized the use of force. How a falsehood could be labeled insightful is beyond me.
If I "authorize" my fist(the executive branch) to punch you in the face(use force) I'm starting a fight(declaring war) the use of semantics by those "opposed to war and in favor of force" is one of the many things that lost kerry the election.

Once again, you are factually wrong. In the build up to the war Saddam allowed unprecedented access for us to search for WMD. International weapons inspectors found absolutely nothing despite even greater access than they had before they were kicked out.
Unprecedented and still inconsequential and incomplete. Funny how that works... If I allow you unprecedented access to my front porch, but keep you out of my kitchen bathroom and bedroom, I still haven't let you search my house.
I have recently been able to acquire replacement manuals and disks for these games through various sources and they are just as enjoyable today as when I first played them on a 8088 with hercules.
IMO, and this is just my opinion, I haven't checked the faq, but the Karma bonus is SELF-moderation. you have the option not to use it, I don't by default. I've never used the overrated mod, or redundant for that matter, I try to look for the gems in the rough as the moderation faq recommends and mod them up.
Actually, the slave states, wanted them counted as whole persons for representation and property for tax(levy/conscription) purposes and the non-slave states wanted the reverse. thus the compromise.
The best thing to do is to gently carress the eggs, making certain that each moves freely and is full. then visually ascertain that none of the eggs has visible cracks. much more efficient than picking each one up.
He managed to successfully shoot at our pilots using sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles 2-3 times a week. it was a matter of time before he got lucky. We still don't know how he managed to replenish, repair and replace the batteries as quickly as he did.
The threat was that eventually he was going to a) get out from under the sanctions and resume making WMDs or b)eventually get lucky and start successfully shooting down our pilots.
We've been in a HOT war with Sadaam for over 11 years, the sanctions weren't working, the resolutions weren't working and weren't going to work. The time came that our president had "the political capital" to get the job finished, and he did, is it over yet? NO, but the power structure has changed and the cleanup is in progress. Time will tell if the future Iraqi government will be our friend or not, but... the government that was our enemy is no more. and THAT is "A good thing"(TM Martha Stuart).
King and Gandhi succeeded because they presented themselves to a society/culture of "Warriors" as defined above, and they presented themselves as those in need of protection. They called upon the warriors to right the wrongs and remedy mistakes, and the warriors responded as warriors do when confronted by a mistake, they rectified it, Note that had they proceeded with force as others in india or the US had done in the past, seeking redress for the wrongs, the response would have been in kind
Also note that some tried similar tactics in dealing with Hitler and Stalin and found them inneffectual.
If it wasn't for the democrats and various in the media, the "real reason" we went after sadaam Hussein would have been the reason we went in originally, and that is... quite simply, he needed killing. In most of the "red" states, thats still all the justification you need, if you can prove it.
In the US, we assume that you know you will be "between jobs" and we expect you to pack your own parachute. If you choose not to, then go flip burgers.
September 11 2001, the idea that just letting violent men have their way and they would move on was proven false once and for all, you may agree or disagree, but what is sad is you believe that placating or submitting to violence is a valid path.

Are you suggesting that Microsoft is using SCO as a retard competitor? Or Apple?

Change with a designer? isn't that like Creation?
Evolution is supposed to be based on "random" mutations. At least thats what they said in school.
SO if I take my intelligence and select what I want, and make changes to it, thats evolution too?

Requires getting lucky, and with enough rounds fired he would have .. eventually.

Yes, most of the owners(madames/pimps) are apparently female. the hookers don't make that kind of money.
