You must be joking. Z rebut a counter argument? Check out the new thread he started on evolution because we owned him so badly at the end of the last one that he was reduced to shouting 'you are stupid' at everyone who posted (I am not kidding - check the last few pages of the thread - he uses the phrase 'you are stupid' about 40 times). Z isn't held to the same standards that we are. He doesn't need to rebut anything. He asserts, and that is all. If you try to make a counter argument, you will get some weird non-sequitur. Also check out the last 3 pages of the new evolution thread he started, where I own him after catching him out in a lie. I try for about 10 posts to get him to even acknowledge the phrase I am talking about and he just posts with jpeg images of his buddies. Very entertaining stuff. The ownage starts about here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62488&perpage=6&pagenumber=16 Check the lie he tells about his interpretation of the phrase 'taking candy from a baby'
You think we should tell him that the if Kerry had captured all the Catholic Latino voters who are told by their Catholic priests to vote against Kerry (because of his stand on abortion) he would be president. Imagine if the Latino vote in Florida and Ohio went to Kerry the way the African American vote went to Kerry.... http://www.facsnet.org/issues/faith/latino_voting.php
There's been much dispute among pollsters as to Bush's percentage of the Latino vote. At best, Bush received 42% of the Latin vote. Other pollsters have it as low as 36%. Without Texas, where Bush has done historically well with Hispanics and without Florida, where the Latin vote is largely Cuban, Bush polls in the low 30's. Ohio only has a Latino population of 192,000 people of whom it's estimated that about 40-50,000 are registered voters. Even if ALL of those Ohio latinos had voted Bush it would've been the difference. I can find no citation asserting that Bush did any better with Ohio Hispanics then he did in Illinois or any other state where there's Hispanics voting. Florida? Since when is abortion a key issue with Cubans? They've always voted Republican. Look at Miami's representation in Congress and in the Florida House. Do you think Kerry's meetings with the Viet Cong endeared him to Miami's anti Castro voters?
Homer Simpson, Yes; First Amendment? "Doh!" Published: March 01, 2006 7:40 AM ET (AP) CHICAGO In a contest between Americans' knowledge of "The Simpsons" and what they know about the First Amendment, Bart and Homer win hands down. About 1 in 4 Americans can name more than one of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment (freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly and petition for redress of grievances.) But more than half of Americans can name at least two members of the fictional cartoon family, according to a survey. The study by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that 22% of Americans could name all five Simpson family members, compared with just 1 in 1,000 people who could name all five First Amendment freedoms. Joe Madeira, director of exhibitions at the museum, said he was surprised by the results. "Part of the survey really shows there are misconceptions, and part of our mission is to clear up these misconceptions," said Madeira, whose museum will be dedicated to helping visitors understand the First Amendment when it opens in April. "It means we have our job cut out for us." The survey found that while 69% of people could name freedom of speech as a First Amendment right, just under 1 out of 4 people could name freedom of religion. Only 11% knew freedom of the press, 1 in 10 could name freedom of assembly and 1% named freedom to petition for redress of grievances, the survey found. The survey found more people could name the three "American Idol" judges than First Amendment rights and were more likely to remember popular advertising slogans. It also found people misidentified First Amendment rights. About 1 in 5 people thought the right to own a pet was protected, and 38% said they believed the right against self-incrimination -- commonly known as "Taking the Fifth" -- was a First Amendment right, the survey found. The telephone survey of 1,000 random adults was conducted Jan. 20-22 by the research firm Synovate and had an error margin of 3 percentage points. Gene Policinski, executive director of the Nashville, Tenn.-based First Amendment Center, said the results were disconcerting but not surprising. "It's disappointing that Americans continue to be ignorant of First Amendment freedoms, but even more disappointing is that that these freedoms are more and more in the news," Policinski said, citing the protests at soldiers' funerals and the controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoons, which have sparked outrage and violence around the Islamic world after newspapers published them. Madeira said he hopes the museum will help inform people of their rights and why they are important. "We always knew there was a need for this type of museum, but when we put our understanding up against some of the icons of popular culture, we really knew that there was a need," he said. The museum, which is funded by the McCormick Tribune Foundation, is to open April 11 and will be at the Tribune Tower, the home of the Chicago Tribune in downtown Chicago. The foundation was established in 1955 as a charitable trust in honor of longtime Chicago Tribune editor and publisher, Col. Robert R. McCormick.
Happy to see that you at least pulled your head out, then looked up long enough to admit there is a problem.... <img src=http://members.cox.net/aphie/ani-ostrich1.gif>
