Priorities, Priorities - the Cindy Sheehan situation

I said muslim extremists.

 

Common Ground. Let's stop right there.

CC can go on with his rants, but I'll move on.

 

Sure, you did, but only in a weak attempt to backtrack on what you originally said:

Yes, yes. Move on and continue to demonize those that don't see things your way. It makes things much simpler. For God's sake, you don't want to have to trouble yourself with accepting the fact that everyone not like you is not the enemy.

 

Not so fast my deceptive friend. In the post you took exception to I said this:

And you said this:

Therefore, I correctly pointed out to you that I actually said muslim extremists and not insurgents.

Go away little boy. You're out of your league.

 

I'm just waiting for the right opportunity. The entire subject of teacher's pay and the purported inequities is a hot-button of mine. So just give me the word, and I'll bring it up! :hihi:

 

I dont know if i would complain too much about teacher pay in Louisiana. It ranks down at the very bottom.

 

Yea, that sounds about right. Supply and demand. No demand, means no pay. So sad...:hihi::dis:

 

It just seems like such a simple discussion and I can't imagine how there could be any discussion on it. Supply and demand. End of story. Right?:hihi:

 

Absolutely. Sort of... I agree with the first part, but I think the second part is only partially true. It's not completely wrong, as some here seem to think. It's just not quite as direct as you make it sound. I think that indirectly, America's internal (& external) conflict over this issue gives insurgents more of a reason to fight. Take the Vietnam War, they had a big incentive to fight because America was so split on the issue that they knew all they had to do was create enough conflict to eventually let the other side take over & withdrawal. This is a similar situation because the country is so split on the issue & thus insurgents could see the same possability for themselves (of "liberals" taking over & withdrawing us because they caused enough damage). Where as, on the other hand, if the entire country was backing President Bush & this war, we'd probably be using more force, with more soldiers (presumably more people would enlist if they believed in the war) & thus could more easily win it...
