Well silly me, I thought this was a forum to promote spirit in the athletic teams. The logo should be changed to "GoMeanGreen.com: Mean Green Fans Calling Other Mean Green Fans Idiots, Since 1994". Also the logo should be changed to a picture of a monkey, wearing a White Helmet with pride stickers, flinging poo at another monkey, who is wearing a green helmet, with no pride stickers, but it does have the script on it. Also, each monkey will be holding up a different version of The Claw and each will be wearing a button pro or against a student athletic fee. If we could just work the new stadium into it some how.... I'll leave it to better minds.

My personal favorite.

I hope they throw the book at him. However, I doubt MLB will ever change the record book. They are spineless and they have completely driven me away from the great game. I was a kid who would wake up first thing in the morning and read the box scores, I knew how to score a baseball game correctly in kindergarden. And now? No interest in MLB.

Haha, wow. You do realize that the whole "the populace hasn't changed out the evil government, regardless of whether they can or not, and therefor the populace is also a target" is the EXACT SAME LOGIC Osama Bin laden has used in his calls for war on America citizen. So, if you want to use the same logic Bin Laden does, have at it, I'll try to keep above it and find some other solution besides "they is dirty A-rabs and we has to kill em". Now, really, I have to go to lunch. You people crack me up.

Don't like history books? How about the news paper? Read it. Christians are killing each other in Ireland RIGHT NOW. Christians are fighting and killing muslims in places like Lebanon RIGHT NOW. There are religious wars between Christians, Muslims and Animist Traditions all over Africa, RIGHT NOW. Bad people will use God as a reason to kill someone else, period. It doesn't matter the name they call God is Jehovah, Allah, Haile Selassie, Bhagavan, Siddhartha Gautama or Rashdak, the giant sea turtle that carries the world on its shoulders. Also, if you will read a history book, you will see that every single new wave of immigrants that came to America has a) caused unrest because they like their traditions better than the established ones 2) been called the end of American Society by xenophobes and c) been Americanized and ready to call the next wave of immigrants the end of American Society in turn. Doesn't matter if that group was the Germans, Irish, Italians, Vietnamese, Mexicans, etc. Also, I have to go to lunch, if this thread isn't locked by the time I get back I'll try and talk further sense into people.

Rick, no one is saying Islam is blameless, but you do realize there are sects that are more harsh than others right? Saudi Arabi is run by Wahhabi's, a fundamentalist backwards sect. (that unfortunately out government has supported for half a century because we want their oil, but thats another thread). However, two wrongs don't make right. Hating ALL muslims because some of them are bad isn't right, and it sure isn't what Jesus would have taught.
-
1) Have you ever even read a history book? Christian's have killed millions in the name of religion. So have muslims, so have hindus, so have pretty much every one else. Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants are to this day killing each other and bombing each because of their religions, which both happen to be christian. 2) The vast majority of muslims are not terrorists and don't approve of terrorist acts. Yes, some due, but some christians want all gays to be put to death, all interracial couple to be put to death, all non whites forced to move from the US or suffer death... that doesn't mean ALL CHRISTIANS want that. Do you even know there are hundreds of sects in Islam, just like there are in Christianity? Have you heard of Sufi's, the Druze, or Salafism. Some sects of Islam or violent, some sects of Christianity or also. CBl brought up the movie Jesus Camp, have you seen it:

If you read some of the articles I've linked, you see that WND doesnt have a conservative basis. They want people who break the religious tenets of the bible to be killed. They are fruitcakes. LIBERAL LIBERAL LIBERAL!!! Name calling is the last resort of those that can't counter argue. I am no liberal. I am proudly independent. I take a look at the issues and decide on the matter and not have my opinions fed to me solely on that fact that the person speaking has a ® or (D) behind their name. For instance, I haven't voted for a democratic candidate for president, and I won;t be this time. But that does not mean I won't in the future.

Yes, that totally explains Article 6, section 3 of the Constitution. If you would bother to read the records of the congress that formulated the constitution, you would see that, after debate, they went to great pains to make sure that there was no official religion of the United States. This, even as several of the states lobbied heavily to create an official religion. It was a dividing issue, but the majority of the founds did not want an official religion named.
-
Doesn't it seem strange to you that no one bothered to mention that Josef Fritzl was a christian? I mean, his religion has everything to do with whether or not her is a good person right? Folks, keep you kids out of sunday school or they will eat their family! WND has a severe anti muslim bias, and anyone with common sense can see it by checking out their archives.
-
Uh, the xenophobia in the article? There are some kids there that need to be disciplined, suspended, etc. The fact they are muslim shouldn't be an issue except to those that already have issues with muslims. Also, WORLD NET DAILY?! Seriously? WND is run by Joseph Farah, who in the past has written that we should Kill Adulterers and start a new McCarthy blacklist. Let's look at some of his words: You mean like the first amendment right to free speech? or how about his praising of the McCarthy blacklist? Man, a real American Hero! I mean, if its wrong for some mullah to try and condemn you to ostracization or death because you didn't follow the scriptures in his holy koran, why isn't it wrong for this guy to try and condemn people to ostracization or death because you didn't follow the scriptures in his holy bible? Also, thread lock down in 3...2...1...

Gas Prices
MeanGreenEngineer replied to GoMeanGreen1999's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Lets not forget that ethanol driving up food prices, which sucks for me and you, is tragic for the millions of people in the world on food aid or are just scrapping an existence out of bad circumstances. Ethanol production is one of the factors in that: Economist Article. Ethanol's ability to absorb moisture, such as that in pipelines, means it is impossible to pipeline lone distances. Say hello to more refineries. Frontline just had a big story on Germany and its solar industry. It's been a big success, the government has spent billions in incentives to get people put up solar panels everywhere. Problem being the government has run out of money for this and it is not economically feasible to do it without the incentives. Also, millions of energy cells used by these are coming to end of life and no one knows where to put them. Hydrogen won't be viable until something huge like controllable cold fusion comes around to make electricity so cheap as to make it almost free to produce it. Hydrogen can be produced biochemically but produces alot of toxic waste products. Wind/wave seems like a good solution, but you have to put them some where, destroying something or others habitat, and it only scales so far with current technologies. -
Gas Prices
MeanGreenEngineer replied to GoMeanGreen1999's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
Yes it will, but we aren't even close to the technology now. Gasoline is an easily transportable highly energy dense stable medium to power engines. Nothing comes close to that. And once we solve the gas problem, we are going to have to figure out what to do with BILLIONS of highly toxic battery cells that will be powering the new cars... -
So you call out my ad hominem attack by making one of you own? Look, Tanton is a racist. No question about it. Read his own memos, read the books his press prints. He is the founder of FAIR, and CIS and many other groups. His own words prove his racism. Stop ignoring that. Great, let's start up the guest worker program with sponsorships.
-
Really? I had no ideas names like Choate, Epstein and Blodgett where of asian descent? FAIR Board of Directors Yes, but I am willing to bet that the founder of the MGC doesn't own a press that puts out racist book, and didn't lead other white supremacist organizations. I also doubt Mandy travelled to Europe to meet with political parties so racist they where outlawed by their own country. But then again I don't go to the quarterly meeting so maybe they do. Why? Fences don't do anything. They didn't keep the goths out of Rome, they didn't the manchus out of china, they didn't even keep the east germans in east germany. It's just going to be a colossal pork barrel project that friends of congress are going to get to build. Determined people will still get in. Unless America is willing to mine the border and machine gun people, which I hope this country hasn't gone to yet.

First I understand you were mislead, I hope you can see that their founder is a racist, and that the organization has carried racist actions and consorted with racist groups. We aren't talking about "I didn't get that job and it must be because they are racists", we are talking about "the white race is genetically superior to other races and we must defended against the non white hordes". It doesn't matter how their mission statements read, these organizations are smart enough to now wearing storm-trooper outfits and railing against mud people is just going to disgust most Americans, insinuation is the key. Sure it is a problem, a minor one compared to things like the suspension of habeas corpus, the looming retirement explosion, the fact out military isn't up to being able to face real dangers like North Korea and China, etc. It doesn't deserve the attention it is getting, it's being whipped up by xenophobes and racists. The solution in my eyes is pretty simple. Guest worker program with a path for sponsorships. Just like the bracero program in the 1950's. You need to couple that with funding for a retraining program for those American's that do get displaced. There, America gets the cheap work force immigrants have always provided, the displaced Americans get to go to another job, the problem of a shrinking tax base is solved (because Americans don't want to have large families), the only problem that isn't solved is *gasp* America looks different! Xenophobia. Xenophobia has been around since the start. Ben Franklin railed against the dirty hordes of Germans that where coming to America, refusing to assimilate, couldn't learn english and were threatening to destroy the American way of life. After the Germans others railed against the Irish not assimilating and living in their own ghettos, then the italians wouldn't learn english and wouldn't assimilate, and on and on until you get to the central americans. Well guess what, the original immigrants almost never assimilate. It's too hard to completely lose culture. But their children are usually at least half and half, and their grandchildren are pure american and usually can't even speak their grandparents language. It's going to be no different with the immigrants that are "threatening to overrun America" now, and people would know it if they bothered to open up a history book instead of listening to sound bites from racists like John Tanton.
