  1. Strawman.

    78008[/snapback]

    What? Do you even know what a straw man argument is? :) I suggest you learn the meanings of terms before you use them. :D

    P.S. Case in point: Paul has been accused of being a liar on this forum countless times, but every time Paul or someone else asks them to back the claim up, they shut up right away.

  2. "Freedom isn't blasted away in one shot, but eroded little by little over time"??

      You know this HOW ??

    Basic knowledge of history, something you obviously do not have (even if you omit the words "of history).

    Is there an example in history that proves it or is it

      just another Kool-aid dream??

    Considering the kinds of things you reject despite mountains of evidence (like the Theory of Evolution), I have a feeling it wouldn't be worth my time to show you another example.

  3. This was originally reported here:

    http://www.ocregister.com/news/corbett-cap...7-teacher-court

    And there's been another incident in North Dakota:

    http://www.kfyrtv.com/News_Stories.asp?news=13949

    Now, someone who actually understands and cares about the Constitution would view both of these incidents AND Paskiewicz's in-class ramblings as equally violative even though (wait for it) the California incident involved a teacher criticizing Christianity.  And all those "atheistic secular-humanist terrorist-loving America-destroying gay-marrying libruls" at groups like the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State would agree.  It is only the theocrats who would find some way that the Constitution prohibits what the California teacher did and allows what Paskiewicz and the North Dakota teacher did.

    I want to hear THOSE recordings now, because that's really what eliminated the reasonable "some kid is exaggerating" possibility with the Paszkiewicz thing (considering that in both cases, it's only one student complaining).

  4. Archive  a billion phone calls daily, right.

    77855[/snapback]

    Google archives greater amounts of data daily. It's not like it's a physical impossibility.

    But what would probably be more likely is using automated speech recognition software to pick up certain 'suspect words' or phrases and then focus on those lines, not archiving anything else.

    The bad thing is that no one knows (that's talking) what's being done or not done. And when it comes to something like this, that is a Very Bad Thing. This administration hasn't exactly created a reputation of trustworthiness is all I'm saying.

  5. Really, are you that afraid?

    77768[/snapback]

    It sets a bad precedent. Freedom isn't usually blasted away in one shot, but eroded little by little over time.

    If the government wants to listen in on someone's phone calls, let them get a damned warrant first. Whatever happened to probable cause?

  6. Why is the Mayor and Council attacking only the police department. What about Kearny Fire Department??? A long time ago they had the rank of Lieutenants and did away with the rank and made all of them Captains. Now the Fire Dept. has 5 (five) Deputy Chiefs and 25 (Twenty Five) Captains. If the Mayor and Council want to be fair, why not bring back the rank of Lieutenants and save the town some real money or do they only attack the Police Department????

    77784[/snapback]

    What exactly is it about having the rank of Lieutenant that saves so much money?

  7. This will never die until you LET IT GO!!!

    He's not the one who keeps bringing it up. Was it Paul who mentioned Matthew for no apparent reason in the senior play thread? No, I don't think so.

    Get your facts straight. At least Paul had the decency to, instead of responding where it would continue to be off-topic, to 'reply' in a topic where it would be on the original subject. It is Matthew's detractors that just can't stop whining about him, even this long after the fact; get it right.

  8. I have just finished watching this documentary...

    ...I don't know what to say. I have never seen something so chilling in my entire life. Even now my fingers tremble as I type, and tears are still flowing...

    I cannot put into words what a shock to the system it was. When this whole Iraq thing started, I was mostly apathetic toward it. It sounded fishy, but I never could have imagined that it was this bad from the beginning...

    I can't type anymore for a while...

  9. Once again

    77390[/snapback]

    Oh, shut up. Anytime I see your stupid name attached to a post in which something substantial was written, I can already tell it's going to be another one of your retarded one-liners before I even scroll down.

  10. Probably because its true.  I'm not saying that Kearny is a terrible place, far from it.  But, you would be hard pressed to convince me that Kearny is safer now than ten years ago; even with these statistics.

    What would convince you then, I must ask? Sounds like you just don't want to let go of the idea already in your head, despite what the actual evidence shows.

  11. You have a problem with timelines. The planning for 9/11

    77388[/snapback]

    I'm not talking about 9/11, bozo. I'm talking about the invasion of Iraq, which has increased terrorist activity within it, instead of decreasing it, which would be what one expects if this "draning" bullshit was true.

  12. Showing the bias again.

    Explain the bias in the post you responded to, please. I'm not seeing it.

    They can think of anything they like, it doesn't change the fact of why Christmas exists.

    "In the early years of Christianity, Easter was the main holiday; the birth of Jesus was not celebrated. In the fourth century, church officials decided to institute the birth of Jesus as a holiday. Unfortunately, the Bible does not mention date for his birth (a fact Puritans later pointed out in order to deny the legitimacy of the celebration). Although some evidence suggests that his birth may have occurred in the spring (why would shepherds be herding in the middle of winter?), Pope Julius I chose December 25. It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival." --http://tinyurl.com/y83wg8

  13. So what? Just because Weehawken's taxes are higher doesn't make Kearny's taxes any better.

    77282[/snapback]

    But it does make the statement that Kearny's are the highest in Hudson Country proven false, which was the one and only thing that post addressed or was meant to address.

    Don't put words in my mouth.

  14. I don't equate atheism with evil, you do.

    77326[/snapback]

    Excuse me, but you were the one specifically referring to atheists as people who were on the "Dark Side," stupid. Or did you forget what you wrote already?
